The Cabinet Salon is an old-fashioned style salon in a new-fashion part of town. Young stylists and friends Emma Rose and Alex MacDonald bring their old-fashioned approach to hair care to the corner of Queen and Portland.
Large wrap-around windows bring lots of natural light and a perfect, people-watching view of Queen St. into this warm parlour space.
Emma and Alex, both seasoned stylists, designed the Cabinet to reflect their personalities and to bring the comfort of your grandmothers living room to a salon environment. The name "Cabinet" is a 17th century French reference, meant to evoke notions of a private sitting room, a place where intellectuals met to discuss literature, society, politics and art.
The 100+ year old building was a perfect fit for their vision of this gathering place, will soon showcase works from local artists.
When you're not busy relaxing with a cup of tea, patrons can expect to have their heads pampered with a wide variety of high-end Bumble and Bumble products, used exclusively.
In any one of the 6 chairs, a cut starts at $50, colour at $70. Appointments can be made with either Alex or Emma, as they are currently in the hunt for like-minded stylists to join them.
The Cabinet is open Monday-Friday 10-8, and Saturday 10-5.

You will love yourself even more when leaving The Cabinet. Emma and Alex are so talented, friendly and a joy to be around. Go see them.
Great photo's, lovely store. Fantastic product!I love bumble & Bumble. You will definitely be seeing me soon.
Alex was great and if it's possible, I love my haircut now even more than I did when I got it. :)
I just moved to the city and was very nervous about handing over my long locks to a stranger. I found this place on blogTo and went with my gut (slash was sold by the pretty pictures). I was even more impressed when I called in and the owners answered the phone, no secretary, no head office, the owners, who also happen to be the stylists. Alex made me feel at ease and worked wonders on my overgrown and lifeless hair. I will take all of my business here from now on, and I suggest you do the same.
