Strand hair room

I’m sorry to write this review. My hairstylist was lovely, and I hope they take this constructively. I get a lot of blowouts, however this one just wasn’t satisfactory.. I asked for a blow out with curls at the end for a conference I had the next day. I have long, thick, semi-curly Italian hair, and noted this in my booking. My stylist took quite a while to blow-dry my hair in sections, that by the time he got to the last sections the tops of my head, they had already tried too much to achieve a smooth look. They also kept finger-brushing my hair after it was blown out, which created a lot of frizz and left me with no curls the next morning. In total, 5 products were used in my hair. Completely unnecessary, this made my hair tacky and oily. For 2-2.5 hours of my time, I really wanted better. There was a girl beside us the whole time, I was hoping she’d see what was happening and step in to help. By the time of the appointment, everything was closing and I couldn’t go elsewhere to get it fixed.

One word: worst. Definitely the worst haircut I've ever gotten. Being a new client I wasn't aware if my hairdresser was newbie/intern, and I ended up becoming her guinea pig. After "cutting" my hair 80% she realised she doesn't know how to cut it according to the picture and call for help from the other hair dresser. The other hairdresser didn't ask my preference and started to correct the hair style as per her own understanding. Conclusion: I wanted the curtain bangs to land on my cheek bones, and due to the trial and error it landed on my eyebrows, which is way too shorter than I ever wanted. She didnt even know how to cut a bang in the first place. Not knowing something is okay, but you do not cut first and ask then. Learn how to learn. There was no proper haircut anywhere, its just random cuts, no styling and I came back with less hair on my head even when I told them specifically not to shorter the original length. And the unfortunate thing is I came back with uneven hair cut and I looked better before. My point being: if you dont know how to do it, ask for help before you begin. The new client is not a statue with a wig to experiment upon. No one even apologised for this. Thank god its winter I can wear beanie to hide this embarassement for a while.

I am not happier with the service, the colour i showed them what i want on my hair it end up with different colour, it was all blonde and nice until they did 4-5 foils of cherry colour and after wash that cherry colour all faded to my blonde hair which demolished blonde colour and turns into all pink hair, owner is quite rude as i asked her they haven't mentioned that blowout has to be paid separately and it is 50$ for blowout as it is mentioned in their service hair toner and blowout all together and she rudely replied its her new business she can't do anything for free. They would not tell you blowout price before they will do it, it is expensive without satisfying results. Have spend 200$ for blonde hair colour which ends up in totally different colour and 50$ for blowout which they haven't mentioned the separate price.

Amanda was so great! Did exactly what I wanted and was so thorough and precise. Will definitely be back to see her.

Had an appointment for hair styling for a wedding, loved the result! Great atmosphere and the staff are lovely! Will definitely be back!

It’s always a positive experience when I visit the salon. I highly recommend anyone go see Krystina! I’ve been going to her for a year now and she always does an incredible job with my cut as well as colour. She is an absolute gem and will make you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave!Service: Hairstyling

I had someone in training whose name starts with J and had not great experience. Unfortunately my hair looked a lot better going in than it did coming out. My haircut is very uneven and everytime I look at it I find a new piece that's longer or shorter than the rest. I have never experience such an uneven hair cut in my life. When I asked him to please even out the cut he tried to but then was asking me, "is it even now". -It wasn't. I also feel as if he should have gotten a co worker to help as it is very stressful to have to point out where the cut is uneven in multiple spots as someone who is not holding the scissors. Sometimes when I pointed out pieces on the top layer of my hair that were cut far too short he would respond, "that's a layer".. I've gotten layers countless times and it has never looked like that. I felt like crying and still feel like crying because my hair does not look good. I also had highlights and the amount of highlights put in the back versus the front is so drastically different that it looks like I'm blonde in front and brunette in the back. I don't blame J entirely as they are in training but do think it is irresponsible to have them unsupervised and there not to be more guidance from other staff. I was offered by the manager to come in and have my hair fixed but unfortunately they had to cancel the appointment and I am only in town for so long. Some kind of money reimbursement would have been appreciated. This wasn't a 15 dollar cut, it was 160Service: Hairstyling

I wish I could give them more stars. Julian was a delight. He turned my flat, dark brown hair into stunning, dimensional blonde, and did it with a smile and great conversation. I live out of province but I will make it a point to return to Julian to have my hair done by him whenever I can.

Julien was great. Really took the time to show me how to deal with my hair I was clueless and the cut/style turned out great. Definitely going back for my next cut!

I saw Mackenzie for my hair cut and she did an awesome job. She was very detailed in her work and made sure I was happy with everything. I’ll be back for sure :Service: Hairstyling
