i recommend this place, great vibe, Leesa was reaaaalllyy great!! she's got great experience and also taught - she calmly & confidently tells u what she's going to do & why, she gives advice on what type of cut will look best & what u described.
try it!!!
i needed to book an appt. at a new salon for my mom and i. it's her 51st birthday present since she's been feeling a little frumpy and wants to get a jane fonda cut haha. your posts were so helpful so thank you!
my mom is getting a cut/color/highlights with alicia and she'll be cutting my hair while my mom's color sets. has anyone had a cut with alicia before? any thoughts?
thank you!
First, I just want to say, I have gone to a few salons, and I am not a picky person nor do I expect something amazing. However since my hair dresser was busy that week and I needed a good haircut for my trip, I decided to book with this salon after reading all the good reviews.
When I got there, she was 20 minutes late.
The hair dresser was LEESA, she was rude, obnoxious, un-friendly.
I have fairly long, curly hair, but it’s easily straightened. All I needed was a simple trimming of my ends, layers, thinning, and style.
She refused to wash my hair even though I had product in it. Saying everyone gets only 1 hour and she wanted to spend that hour cutting.
Anyways, after an hour, my hair felt fine, but it was VERY boring, traditional, nothing new, and for the price you pay for her, she is definitely not half as good as some random hair dresser for $30. I think I just got unlucky with her because I heard the other girls are pretty good. As my hair grew out this past while it’s been in worse shape then ever, she first cut it un-even, one side is a lot longer then the other, she did the thinning wrong which made me get little hairs sticking up everywhere and she cut in such a way that it parts weird and I can’t make it go back to the way it was. I just got it re-done by my hair dresser and she even noticed how awkward it looked.
Regardless of what I heard about this salon, my experience was the worst of any other salon I have been too, and I felt awkward the whole time there. I can not say I do not recommend this salon, but I fore sure DO NOT recommend LEESA, and if you want great layers, cheaper hair cut and a nice cut, just call up Johnny Cuppelo Salon and ask for Margaret.
she done ok job. didnt do what i asked for.
she couldnt even style it abit so i could what she actually done.
if she would have, i would have tipped her more.
and comepare to UK,the service is totally pants.
you get better service in back ally sallys.
she didnt even bring mirror to show me how back my head looked.
thats just covering the basics.
but i had to tip as is canada. next my tip for ne one with this kinda service is going to be "dont eat yellow snow".
for $60 for a mens hair cut u expect abit more...enough of arty farty guys. DO the job.. i rate the hair cut 7/10. the service 4/10
For natural looking hair extensions go to the eatons centre.
Theyve got them to match anyones hair in this little booth thing. Theyre about 50 bucks for 4, or so of them.
And theyre amazing.
basically i went to my hair salon that ive been going to for years and my past hair dresser seriously messed up my long pretty hair lol.. and as most of you know, when you get a bad hair cut its a huge buzz kill haha
anyways, i went to stephen and he fixed me right up! he was amazinggg.. super friendly and he knew what he was talking about!
he is pricey, and i know there are other good hair dressers there too
but i will be returning in the future! hope this helps!
and is it pricy?
I just booked an appointment for Saturday at this place. The girl who answered the phone sounded friendly. She told me they have a junior stylist available and I said I'm in. I hope it's Alicia since most of the reviews I read were about her, but as long as someone gives me a new style that works with my hair texture and face shape, it's all good! I'm relying on you people!!!
Any idea whether the price includes wash & style? Some salons charge extra for this and I wanted to be sure.
This place is pricey and I felt If you look good they will talk to you better...lol
anyways it was not a bad experience but I know will not go back to this Salon.
also could they recommend a look for me as well if i asked or do i need to go in there ready to go?
thanks hope someone answers me =)
I just moved here too... and Benjamin did my hair.
He was so professional, polite and just an all around nice guy.
I will DEFINITELY be going back.
My whole experience with this salon was wonderful.
Thanks
