My barber today was Gus and he was quick ,friendly and gave me exactly what I wanted for my haircut. I can't say better than that , as I was also given a Senior discount as well.

I got a cut and highlights back in December and absolutely loved it. Lindsay was fantastic. She was…read moreabout to go on maternity leave but Stephanie, the owner is also stellar. The salon is nice and clean and they brought me a menu where I could choose herbal teas while I waited with color.

Best Salon I've ever been to, I am so impressed. My hair can be a bit tricky because it's long and…read morerequires a lot of blonding but Stephanie and Vanessa pulled it off fantastically. It's probably the nicest job I've ever had done (which includes the high end stylists I used to go see when I lived downtown 6 months ago) Also very easy and convenient to book online, they send you a reminder text and automatically book it in your calendar which is awesome. Furthermore, their website has the estimated time and amount for each type of job which is amazing. The owner is particularly interesting, valuing her workforce team as the top priority. She ensures it is a no-drama salon and wants to keep it that way. As a single mom of 2 and business owner she even taught herself how to do accounting for the business on the side, which shows nothing but dedication. Long and short of it from what I found is that they are amazing people that do an amazing job for an amazing price. I have no doubt that this place will fill up fast, now that salons have been allowed to reopen. (They are also SUPER safe and hygienic, everything is sanitized, everyone wears dual masks)

I went back the next day and got it fixed by another GREAT HAIRSTYLIST named Kate. She was really helpful, understanding, and experienced and fixed the haircut right up. Ultimately, this place is hit and miss- some of the employees truly don't know how to properly cut hair or at least don't listen to clients hair goals.

She went today and after Stephanie was done, she said she did a bunch of other things that my wife never asked for nor agreed to and charged her $278. After a lengthy dispute, my wife got fed up and paid it and left. Worst of all, she came home with a dye job that looked exactly the same as this morning before her appointment, with 4" of hair near the roots still black (rest was dyed). Update: My wife went back today and another stylist named Denise was super nice and offered to fix her hair at the roots. She came home looking great and we are both very happy with the results. Thank you Denise.

March 10, 2021 This…read moreis my first time going to Salon Onyx. I am biracial and decided to go from curly to straight hair, my appointment was with Jesse. Jesse is very friendly and knowledgeable. I had grey hair, my hair was dry and overdue for a hair style (COVID HAIR). Wow!! Jesse did an amazing job. Jesse selected two colours for my hair and applied like an artist. The products used were best for natural hair. Jesse styled my hair in a bob with a bit of an edge, just the way I like it! My hair colour and style was on point! I left Salon Onyx feeling 20 years younger!! Ladies, get rid of that COVID look, book your appointment with Jesse at Salon Onyx and leave feeling like a million dollars! Holly M

I got a cut with baby highlights and Hayley listened to all of the requests I had (not super blunt, finer highlights by the face, not a lot of layers) and I couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out.

I love this place and its vibe. Jaime is an excellent hairdresser, whom I will always go back to!read more

I did not receive great customer experience at this salon, resulting in this 1 star. I called and…read moremade an appointment for a blow dry and to have my hair waved out over the phone. When I came in, the stylist named Liz was the one who did my hair. Apart from her giving me the cold shoulder the entire appointment, when I asked if I could have beach waves after my wash, she perseverated if it was for a special event. Not sure what answer she was looking for but I told her I was going out to dinner with a friend later during the day, so no - it's not a special event. After a couple more minutes of uncomfortable silence, I told her to just leave my hair straight. Her mood instantly changed and she started smiling and making small talk about the weather. By the end of my appointment, I paid, left a tip (which I instantly regret) and stepped out of the salon feeling very dissatisfied. On top of receiving poor customer service, the blow dry I received was definitely NOT worth what I paid for. I love trying new places and supporting local businesses - but this is a salon I would not recommend or return to.

Draga is amazing at first choice hair. I recently went to Tonyc at upper canada mall and wanted…read morewhite blonde highlights and a trim. Tonyc hairdresser turned my whole head yellow and then cut half my hair one length and the other half a different length. It was butchered. I went to first choice and Draga, an AMAZING hairdresser not only fixed the awful dye job, but gave me the white blonde highlights i originally wanted and a beautiful haircut that was all one length. I am soooo happy. Also Tonyc charged like $500 to fuck up my hair and first choice FIXED it perfectly for $200. Needless to say First Choice, specifically Draga, will be the ONLY hair salon i trust from now on. First Choice Haircutters, 16640 Yonge Street, Newmarket, Ontario.

There should be a No star option on yelp. HORRIBLE melon head location in Aurora. Lilly, was my…read moresons hair stylist. (That name was on the receipt). He didn't want to sit on the vehicles and instead wanted to sit on my lap. First huff sound from Lilly . She started to work on him and his hair was falling and sticking to mine and my sons clothes. I asked for a cape, and another puff and huff from her. He started to cry and cry as she cut . I asked for a break, a huff!!! I then commented that she isn't friendly like other melon heads in markham that we goto. She seemed so annoyed by the break and sobbing that I told her to just finish up. And then hair started to get into his mouth and he was trying to grab them out, and she continues!!! Asking me to hold his hands down. I asked her to stop! Looking around at the other staff, they also didn't look so friendly so I didn't ask them to take over. She was about to charge me full price! I had to remind her that April is $15 at her location. As I was putting on my son jacket, I heard her then charge the next person full price. So they aren't honest either. This lady should not be working with children. She was cold hearted and not thinking of the child's feelings. I've never left service without leaving a tip and this behaviour didn't deserve a penny. We left with a bad impression of melonheads. I hope this experience doesn't affect our next hair cut!!

We went again, I asked for shorter hair. She asked if I wanted it like my husbands (very short hair), I said no, I wanted longer on the top, a little boy comb-over. When she was using the clippers it was stressing my son out and she asked if I could get him to put his shoulders down (He's 2). I was talking to him and he got very upset. I asked her 3 times to stop, but she wasn't paying attention or was ignoring me, I was really mad. He ended up with short short hair, just like my husbands. It's not a terrible haircut, but not great either. It wasn't what we discussed and I wanted to smack her when she didn't stop for a second when I asked. 2 stars because the first haircut was OK. I would have given it a 4 star. Second haircut is a 1 star because of how angry I was and that he didn't get the haircut I asked for. Don't know her name, but she had bouffy long black hair.
