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.

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.

Not usually one to write reviews, but this is one of the WORST experiences I have ever had. I got…read moremy hair RUINED by one of the "master" stylist to the point where it was so over processed I went somewhere else and they had to cut off over 6 inches. I could literally see and feel my hair breaking off, don't think I've ever cried that much in my life. My hair was long, healthy and soft and ever since coming here it's been dead. Not only did I have to pay for the balayage (which was expensive on its own) but I've also now had to spend $100's of dollars on Olaplex products to TRY to fix my hair. All I want is to get my hair to how it was before. Every time I look in the mirror all I can think about is how short and damaged my hair is now and regret ever coming to this place. If I can give you one piece of advice it would be DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!! I've never posted a review but once I figure out how to post photos I'll post the before and after and you'll see the damage they did to my hair, it's bad!! :( Adding the pictures, the left was my hair right after my appointment and the right is a couple weeks after. (ps. my hair wasn't actually that orange, it is the light) but you can see how much shorter my hair is and that my hair is now super thin, breaking and falling out. I'll be honest tho, This picture doesn't even do it justice of how bad it really was, parts of my hair weren't even reaching my shoulders from the breakage and the parts that were were breaking with every touch. My hair now it just past my shoulders with how much they had to cut,, YEARS of growing my hair out RUINED. Never been to a place as bad as this! :( If I can save even one person from having the same terrible experience I'll be happy cuz this was honestly THE WORST experience I have ever had. :(

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.

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.
