Not usually one to write reviews, but this is one of the WORST experiences I have ever had. I got my 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. :( read more

See all

My wife booked an appointment with Stephanie to dye her hair here for the first time and was told it was $67. 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. read more

I recently went to Becoming, since I hadn't had my hair cut in over a year, and wanted something nice for my birthday. I have never been charged SO MUCH MONEY on a hair cut and balayage over $350 dollars, and you obviously have to tip according to the price of the service, so you can imagine how much my final cost was. they said the additional cost was due to product. While the stylist did a great job and was very proud of herself, it is definitely not what i asked for and showed her a picture of. I went in asking for a subtle beige/ blonde and came out with an ashy white blonde. Also while I was there, a mother dropped off her two kids for hair cuts, and was charged almost 265 dollars. for two childrens cuts and a bit of frosted tip that is insanely steep. While the stylists are good, I unfortunately can't recommend this place, unless you are in a very comfortable money situation. read more

I finally decided to write a review. This place has a wonderful ambiance and I had a great stylist. Now comes the difficult part. I paid over $400.00 and my mistake did not ask for the price before as this was a recommendation from someone I know and I knew what she paid for. Lets just say I am not a high income earner and it was a total shock. A trim, high light and cut. It took for ever for everything! My husband called and was worried. Although this was some time ago and i have never been back. With tax and tip I payed close to $500.00 and my friends and I have a good laugh! Believe me its a lessen learned. ASK before.......I wish I could afford them because it was the best cut, color and style I have ever had! The 3 star rating is simply for lack of transparency with cost and service was really really slow. read more

Where do I begin... upon my arrival my stylist was working on another client's colour job; which would have been completely understandable... but I came to realize that we were double booked. The most lovely stylist Kim did help me in the meantime. Once my alloted stylist did start to work on my hair she was rushing to get the colour on my hair. She dropped colour everywhere and had no idea how to hold a conversation. After applying my colour she neglected to check on me (due to having 2 clients at once). Luckily Kim cleaned the dye off my face and constantly looked at the clock to keep an eye on me. While having a junior wash out my colour my stylist (an advanced stylist) texted from the colour counter. The junior soaked the back of my shirt even with a towel... thanks for my second baptism. Knowing I had a 7pm appointment she completed my haircut within 10 to 15 minutes. At the cash she rang me through for over 200$$$$. There was a sign for 25% off colour, which was extremely misleading, as I had to purchase an additional treatment to get that deal! So I left with decent hair, a wet shirt and a negative disposition towards this salon... Doubt I'll be back. read more

Becoming does an amazing job with the cleanliness of the hair salon. They took my temperature upon entering and gave me hand sanitizer. After having my hair washed Amanda brought me back to her hair station and then returned to sanitize the seat I was in for getting my hair washed. Everyone who worked in the salon wore a mask at all times. They have done a marvellous job to help everyone stay safe! read more

Booked a haircut with a junior stylist. To be honest, for $65 including tax and tip, it was just a okay experience. I didn't love my haircut but I didn't hate it either. For $65, I was just expecting more. read more

I have visited Becoming Hair Studio 3 times since COVID and am amazed at their service. My hairdresser Savvy has given me undivided attention and even provided with a mask when mine was not working. I feel very safe there and will continue to go as we reopen our towns. No more COVID hair for me! read more

Inviting and stylish salon. Employees very friendly and attentive. Prices competitive. Armani and Christine were exceptional! read more

Went here after reading some reviews. In consultation my stylist was warm and understanding. The day of my appt however, I was asked to come 30min later than scheduled. I still had to wait and because I had to get home I almost had to skip the cut. It was all crammed in but I missed the massage and fun stuff and still ended up with a 300+ bill. She did an okay job w colour but the cut was not what we discussed in the consultation. No hard feelings, I just want to go somewhere where the stylist does not say "what's your name again?" while I am waiting for her or come back from break smelling like cigarettes to work on my hair (personal preference , I know some people dont care about that, but I do). I am sure this is a great place, but it just didn't make me want to come back. I felt like an afterthought. read more

Way over priced. The British lady is very nice and did a great job on my hair, but another girl there is very rude when you talk about pricing. I would not go back because I found they just make up prices. read more

I went there based on a recommendation that I got from a random person while I was getting my nails done. I have been looking for a good hair Salon in Aurora and I had nothing to loose. I booked an appointment and requested a senior. I got an inverted bob and needed someone who was really good. Upon Arrival I was greeted promptly, I was asked to sit while they set up my work area. I got a cut, wash and blow dry. After I got my hair washed I received an excellent neck and head massage, I was really happy with my hair and the quality of service. It was well worth the money tip included was aprox $200. I will be going in soon to get my hair done. I will post who did my hair next time I go in I'll ask her name read more

Wow is what I say about this wonderful Hair Studio. I am 63 years old, so needless to say, I have been to many stylists over the years. Jess Stevens is by far the best!! From my first visit to my most recent visit, I have been pampered from the moment I walk in the door. The ambiance is perfect. The outside world just seems to go away. Everything you wish for when you want/need pampering. My first visit I went from a bob to a pixie, can you imagine how nervous I was! Everything went perfectly and I was delighted with the cut, color and style. I would recommend this salon to any age group. You will not be disappointed. In reading the previous reviews, what comes to mind is....only negative reviews are posted. (and only a couple) so the positives out there, and there must be many, are very pleased and don't feel the need to post. read more

I did love this place until I got an unexpected email from the owner who now I understand sent to many of of the salon clients. The email was in reference to stylists who used to work at the salon and who had recently made a decision to depart. The email was both unnessary and unprofessional. It outlined politics of the work place which I did not need to know and fell short as slander towards individuals who decided for what ever reason to leave their place of employment. The tone was bitter to the point that i would not want to return to such a place. I have since discovered through a newspaper advertisement to where these young ladies went. Vanguard in aurora for those interested. read more

Front desk was really friendly and helpful, the rest of the staff not that much. Although I explained exactly what I wanted, the final result was way far off than expected. Uneven hair cut and wrong colour.. Not planning to return or refer to others. read more

Over many years of experiences with different hair dressers (good and bad) I was recommended by my girlfriend to try Denise. At that point, I didn't have my "go to" hair dresser due to the fact that I just wasn't lucky enough to feel 100% confident about the outcome of my hair with one specific stylist. The first time I ever had my hair done by Denise, I was in shock as to how much I loved my hair. I am very particular about my hair and trust me, I could be difficult, but Denise took into account exactly what I wanted and needed. In addition, I am Asian so asking to get my hair a light, perfect golden blonde is extremely difficult. However, Denise works her magic and always turns my blonde into that nice golden natural looking blonde that is always hard to lift when it comes to Asian hair. I always have a great experience with Denise and I would recommend her to anyone who wants a style, cut and colour to suit their hair style needs. read more
