Saab salon is a fantastic place to go and get pampered. They have incredible staff and everyone is so warm and welcoming. I spent about three years looking for a salon and was recommended here by my friend and her daughters and I'm so glad they did. Jordan is hands down the best stylist to ever touch my hair. He's honest about what can and cannot be done and he is very professional.Services: Blowouts
Kindest and most welcoming hairstylists you can come across! Been going to Saab Salon now for over 15 years and the standard remains unbeatable. The shampooing and scalp massages keep me coming, not to mention the reliable haircuts I receive on a monthly basis that makes me feel refreshed every time I leave! I highly suggest checking out this high end and modern feel salon for any beauty care needs.Service: Hairstyling
After my most recent experience getting a haircut, wash and neck massage, I can confidently say that Saab Salon provides one of, if not, the best hair experiences i've ever had. Everyone at the front desk as kind and caring, while also offering me beverages and coffee while awaiting my hairstylist. The environment was clean and professional throughout my hair appointment with Jordan. The entire Saab team is amazing and filled with the most talented and skilled hairstylists. By far one of the best salons in Ottawa!Service: Hairstyling
Super friendly and professional environment. Honestly ever since I came across this salon I have not cut my hair anywhere else. Frank makes sure to go out of his way to welcome me every time I go. You can tell they care for their customers. I would highly recommend! Jordan is my usual hair stylist. Very knowledgeable. They also carry Aveda huge bonus for me.. 10/10.
I love Saab. It's not cheap, but it's absolutely worth the money! Jordan's highlights and haircuts regularly garner compliments from my friends. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this place.Service: Hairstyling
I do not Recommend going to this salon unless you want your hair melted off. So I went here wanted to go blonde. Jordan assured me that he could do this. Once someone says they can do something then you put all your trust in them to do a good job. That isn’t the case for me . Jordan knew I had red in my hair prior to bleaching, yet he still assured me. The one thing I was told “ your hair health is our number one priority “. Jordan bleached my hair. as he was brushing and drying I could feel my hair super dry, almost like hay, but yet again Jordan assured me that this is normal. There was still a lot of orange in my hair so Jordan bleached it a second time the same day I should of said no but yet again I was reassured. After the second bleach it was still orange which was super disappointing. My hair gets brushed and dried again, and styled. 750$ Later I go home. It isn’t til the next day I realize how seriously damaged my hair was . My hair was falling out in chunks, which was absolutely devastating to me since I had pretty long hair to begin with . I got in contact with the salon and explain to them what was going on . I asked if I could get my money since this isn’t what I signed up for. I this point I had to go to a different salon to try and salvage my hair . Unfortunately most of my hair had to be cut off since it was so damaged, it couldn’t be saved . I cried a lot . The owner of Saab called me, very un apologetic. He said that I basically new what was going to happen, and that because of their policy he’s not giving me my money back . This was a few weeks ago, I’ve still have been trying to contact Saab and they have been ignoring me completely. Very unprofessional. I’ve told my story to a few people and unfortunately a lot of other people had a very bad experience with them. I wish I would of known better.
I’ve been a customer here for years and while the spa like services are top notch… over the years the hair services for the price has in the last three visits has left me feeling less than satisfied. Three times over the years I’ve had hair dye services in which the last service has finally turned me to look for a new hair salon. My second hair dye I had asked for maroon red, and they had dyed my hair orange. When I asked them to redo it - you could tell they were frustrated but they did it. I went in for my first balayage on my third dye experience and last appointment I had wanted bright silver as my main colour to transition. Being blonde I was told by friends who had had this done by their stylists- that this should be relatively easy in comparison to darker hair. The stylist at the time with SAAB when I asked for this said “No - that simply won’t suit your skin colour. It will blanch you. Better to have it as blonde especially as a first balayage. You’ll look better with it.” Honestly I wasn’t sure what to say as I had never had one done and she was the expert, but given the price I paid for the service and other hair dye services with similar experiences… I realized that I needed to find a new salon for myself. I mean don’t get me wrong the balayage is beautiful but it’s super light and barely noticeable even with proper care of cooler water and hair protection shampoos. I think this is also a lesson in standing up for what you want regardless on what the hairstylist says… but you should be in an establishment that supports your vision while still making suggestions and confirming with you. Again I won’t diminish the whole place as it is excellent with their spa services and they cut hair wonderfully… but unless you demand for what you want and are your own expert in hair colour and dye - I personally would look elsewhere for colouring.Service: Hairstyling
Been going for years. Very nice people. Do well with all kinds of hair. Have a small café for guests, sometimes Smarties. Not for barbering, that I know of, but do offer mustache waxing as part of their spa treatment. Have booster seats if you need them, will double check that everything is good pressure- and temperature-wise for the shampoo & scalp massage. Don't try to upsell, but will provide recommendations if asked. Small talk, familiar attitude, fairly expensive, but worth the price. They've got a full store if you're just looking for products as well.
Jordan and the Saab Salon team’s work has been nothing short of impeccable over the 8 years I have dealt with them. Any spam coming from so-called “clients” who have never even been to the Salon should be discredited for trying to falsify information and smear the name of this established small businessService: Hairstyling
