I chose this salon based purely on the feedback/rating from BlogTO users, lots of positives, little in the negative.  
My previous Salon cut had been at Shagg Salon on Yorkville where I had received a cut which I had been initially happy with but over the month that followed I realized was not so much to my liking, thus I had decided for my next cut to try another Salon for comparison, that being Glam Salon.
I can attest to the ongoing voicemail problems at Glam, not receiving a response to my voice message for a few days over the course of a weekend (closed mondays, got a call back tues afternoon).
My appointment was with Kat.  Be warned that they are app't only, meaning they open shop 5 mins before your scheduled app't.  I went there on a rainy day and there is nothing in the area to keep you occupied/sheltered so don't come early!
My mens cut ended up being 30% cheaper than Shagg Salon ($40 vs $60) but I only spent half the time in Glam that I did in Shagg (45 vs 90 mins).  My cut ended up looking nice in the salon, but 1 month later I have not had a single day where I could recreate my initial Glam good hair experience.  The bangs on the sides of my head were not symetrical (Kat's design choice), eventually I ended up using dollarstore scissors on the bangs to even them out and giving me a better looking cut.
Since I value BlogTO users opinions I have provided an honest assessment of my experience to contribute the overall community view of Glam Salon.]]>

Perhaps try pressing the website button above and then call during their business hours? Just a suggestion.]]>

Any shop that don't answer the phone doesn't make a great first impression. Not to mention no website or mention or how much they charge for a cut. Disappointed. ]]>

All that glitters is GLAM. I've been looking about a year for a new stylist and finally found Kat...SO GLAD I took the leap. I came in with a specific style in mind but she took the time to go over the pros and cons even with her hectic schedule. I ended up with a cut I love. The atmosphere is laid back and both stylists are super friendly. For those in search of an amazing cut give GLAM a go...definitely, a 'diamond in the rough' of salons. ]]>

Just here to post some more love for GLAM! I went today and had a cut with Daina - super awesome! Not only is the cut awesome, Kat and Daina are just fun and nice people. None of that awkward silence you get with other stylists. GLAM is also well priced -  it's a place that I can afford to go to regularly and consistently, unlike many other "top" salons. Yay!]]>

Daina is amazing! she was able to give me the exact cut and colour i have been trying to get for ages! I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of appointment with her.  Not only is she amazing at her craft, but glam is a great place to spend a little time.  I will recommend Glam to all my friends  ]]>

I recently decided to get a post-breakup ego-boost haircut, but having never had a professional cut/colour, I scoured the internet for salon reviews. I chose Glam mainly because of the comments above. I contacted Daina who said she was honoured to help me out and booked me soon afterwards. When I first came in, I was still feeling a little down, but she was super-cheerful and dedicated 3.5 hours to my hair. Both she and Kat worked on a few more satisfied customers in between...some edgy, some classic. As Daina started snipping away and I relayed my boy drama, both she and Kat were kind enough to remind me that I could (and will) do better. By the time she was finished, my attitude had changed completely! These girls are professional, talented and committed to making their clients happy. I've had several compliments on my new look. Overall, I would definitely recommend Glam.  ]]>

I think Kat knows her hair-cutting stuff and is very creative, she just didn't listen and therefore gave me the worst, most traumatizing haircut of my life. Short version: I was super excited to finally be growing my hair out after a couple of years of having it short (my version of short is mid jaw to chin length). I could almost pull it back and was stoked and Kat proceeded to thwack thwack and cut my hair (on only one side of my head to an inch or 2). I basically ended up with an emo mullet on one side of my head which is not at all what I wanted or asked for. I think she took me to be a bit more adventurous than I was feeling even though I was very specific with what I wanted. 

My hair has just now grown back to chin length on that side of my head (1 year and 5 months later!) and I am terrified to get it cut again although since Kat I've gone to Greatful Head and not had my hair destroyed.

So if you are really adventurous and don't care about the result Glam might be the place for you, but if you're pretty specific you might want to go elsewhere.]]>

Kat styled my whole bridal party & myself's hair (5 in total) & she did it in about 2 hours and everytime I look at my pictures I am so happy with the turnout.  If you really want to look wicked for your prom, shell out a bit of money and get Melissa to do your make-up.  With those two combined you'll be the center of attention at your prom I bet.]]>

Aside from great hair cutting (as I am reading), does GLAM do a really good job on hair styling? I am considering to come here for my prom hair :)! ]]>

After going to the same stylist for about 10 yrs. I called to make an appointment with her and was devastated to hear that she just decided to stop cutting - no notice!  I tried a higher priced place near home and was disapointed - then I found Kat.  She did an amazing job with my cut and the colour was vibrant and creative.  Daina also did 2 awesome cuts while I was sitting there with goop on my head.  Great conversation, great hair...just great gals.  I'll definately be a regular.]]>

I have been to a few salons in the city after re-locating here from Chicago. I was really happy with the haircut I got from Daina. She was very patient and really took the time to get to know me, which in turn showed in the haircut she gave me. Above all, I actually had alot of fun while I was there]]>
