The former city of Toronto, now referred to as Old Toronto, was dissolved in 1998 into the new municipality of the City of Toronto which includes Etobicoke, North York, East York, and Scarborough.  A 2006 census revealed the population of Old Toronto to be 732,642 people, making it the largest municipality in Toronto. The historical Old Toronto area has been further divided into Central Core (Downtown), North End (Midtown), East End, and West End. Notable communities within proximity of Dragan Hair Design are the Yonge and Eglinton, Lawrence Park, and Bedford Park neighborhoods in the North End of Old Toronto.

Old Toronto remains to be one of the most densely-populated areas of the city and is, essentially, the core of Toronto. Since Old Toronto encompasses the Downtown area, there is no shortage of the amount of life that goes on. The Financial District is a particularly famous area, containing the largest cluster of skyscrapers in all of Canada; these include the Royal Bank Plaza, Scotia Plaza, First Canadian Place and Commerce Court. 
Old Toronto also covers many expensive residential milieus that extend northward, away from the Downtown core, including Yorkville, Rosedale, The Annex, Forest Hill, Lawrence Park, Lytton Park, Moore Park, and Casa Loma; these residential areas include upscale homes, luxury condominiums, and expensive retail. Conversely, Old Toronto holds many neighbourhoods that include low-income families in social housing and apartment buildings, including Moss Park, Alexandra Park, St. James Town, Regent Park and Parkdale. 
Included in this large mix-up of ethnic and socio-economic diversity thrives a lively commercial and cultural community that can be found east and west of Downtown, in neighbourhoods such as Kensington Market, Leslieville, Cabbagetown and Riverdale. In these areas, the scene is cramped with studio lofts of varying socio-economic status that house a great amount of artists and an increasing amount of middle and upper class professionals. 
Other areas of Old Toronto still display their strong ethnic identity, including a Little Italy, two Chinatowns, Greektown, Little India and Portugal Village, among others. 
According to a census taken in 2001, the Old City of Toronto's population was 70% White, 10% Chinese, 5% Black, 5% South Asian, 3% Filipino, 2% Latin American, 2% Southeast Asian, 1% Korean, and 2% Other.
