Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had in my life. I was horrified! First, they assigned me…read morea young lady who clearly didn't know what she was doing. It was obvious that she was a student still learning how to cut hair. You could tell she did not want to do it and was rude and very unprofessional. When she asked me what I wanted I told her that I usually go for a number 2 for the sides and a 5-6 for the top length. She started looking for her supplies in her drawer and couldn't even find her comb and then she said that she only had a number 4 for the top and that's all she was going to be able to do. She did not have the proper supplies!! I said to use her own discretion thinking she was a professional but I promptly realized she didn't even know how to properly hold the sheers to cut the sides or even the trimmer, which I thought would not be difficult to manage. She used the number 4 and it was way too short and since she was holding it wrong (I could feel something weird happening on my hair but could not see it) she made me bold and completely ruined my hair. The sides are uneven, the top is completely bold, the front is too short and I honestly look like someone shaved my head but used different numbers for each side. I did not get her name but she was young, in her twenties, long brown curly hair, glasses and she said she was half Jamaican, half French, which she mentioned because she asked me if I was from Calgary and told her I was but that my parents were from Colombia. I usually don't write reviews like these but I was so horrified that I had to say something. I just cannot believe that they would charge me 37 dollars plus tip for completely ruining my hair prior to an important Christmas event I'm supposed to attend in a few days. The haircut is so bad that I'm actually thinking about not attending this event because I would have to wear a hat. Whatever you do, DO NOT go to this Chatters, the quality is absolutely terrible, the people that run it are unprofessional, not knowledgable at all, they were supposed to have 25% off but was still charged full price. There was no compassion or willingness to fix the issue and compensate me in one way or another, I just paid and left. I just wanted to get out of there and run as fast as I could! I'm going to let the photos I took speak for themselves. And I will most definitely be taking this along with my evidence to the Better Business Bureau to place a formal compliant against this business so they can issue a fine. I'm going to contact my bank and show them the evidence and stop payment on the $42 dollars (including a $4.50 tip) they charged me for a haircut that is going to ruin the rest of the year!

I understand the concept of highlights but this... my strands are all SEVERAL different colours from root to tip. I dont know how im going to fix this. Ive been so happy with my hair for years and now im basically in tears. My hair is ony of my most treasured features and now i think ill have to just get it completely corrected. Staff were lovely but for what i got i was incredibly over charged. If you plan to spend 300+ on what essentially equated to highlight and toner go somewhere else. I am really unhappy with the results. My hair is a multicolored frizzy mess. Im from out of town but i would not return if i were local.

This place is a hidden jewel - for real. I'd had my hair (naturally curly, colour treated and…read moreregularly straightened) utterly destroyed a couple of months earlier with a botched colour correction. I went to my usual stylist and she did a FANTASTIC job correcting the correction, and cut as little as she could while still maintaining my length. Sadly, and despite her best efforts, my near waist length hair was totally fried. Fast forward about six weeks: I'd just had surgery and wasn't super mobile, but I wanted the straw that once was my hair cut off, so I thought I'd swing by a salon close to me. I was a little apprehensive, as I knew nothing about the place, and could find only a couple of reviews, but it was that or hack my hair off with a kitchen knife. So I took the plunge. BEST. DECISION. EVER. I asked for a chin length stacked bob. The stylist was super thorough in her questions, incredibly sweet, and gave me a haircut that may be the best haircut in the history of mankind. This woman can cut curly hair like she invented it. For thirty bucks. For real. I haven't paid thirty bucks for a haircut since I was a child. I wish I could remember her name. I'll edit this later to include it. It's probably something like Her Excellency, The Empress of Hair, or The Most Grand High Hair Fairy. Edit:The stylist's name is Melina.

Really unhappy with my last experience with red bloom, and I won't be going back…read more I hadn't been to a salon in a few years, I had just let my hair grow and it was almost to my bum. I wanted to cut my hair and go lighter. I made an appt, (with Jodie Lynn) and was told I would need to come in for a consult. At the consult things seemed great, Jodie showed me pictures of colour, we discussed doing balayage, and she cut a small swatch of my hair and said she would see how it lightened up. I also showed her the picture of how I wanted my hair cut. I had high hopes. When the appt came, I was sat down and asked to fill out a sheet that asked how chatty I was feeling, how the health of my scalp was, and which two complimentary services I would like today. I thought that was pretty cool, and remember my previous stylist from this salon used to always give me hand massages and I loved them, so I choose hand massage and aroma therapy. I handed the sheet to Jodie and neither of those happened. Jodie seemed to have forgotten everything, but I didn't mind refreshing her memory, showing her the picture of how I wanted my hair cut, and that I wanted to go lighter. Then she also mentioned she lost my swatch of hair..which I thought was odd. But she said "it lightened up nicely". I was very clear I wanted my hair cut two inches below my chin, so it was just slightly above my shoulders, and she confirmed that with me. She then proceeded to do foils on my whole head- not balayage. She cut my hair to my chin, not two inches below, and my hair was uneven. I asked for it to be cut blunt, and one side was very obviously shorter than the other. When I compared the sides in front of her she said "that's how blunt cuts are" ummm what? They're uneven? She didn't offer to fix it. Also what I found very off putting, they asked all of their clients to fill out the "best of calgary" survey choosing red bloom in front of them. While my hair was processing I was also asked to do this. It seemed very high pressure, and I don't agree with it. I wanted to say no, but I also didn't want to look like a bitch in front of other people or have Jodie screw up my hair in spite so I felt I had to. When the customer is leaving the salon, why not ask them to vote on their own? Maybe offer $5 off the next service if they do the survey, if you're so desperate to get votes. Instead you bring them an iPad and hover over them to ensure they are choosing red bloom? Not impressed at all.
