The W of Studio M & W is Stefan W which stands for ... Wonderful! He brought his coiffeur craft…read moreover from Charleville in France - a town famous for its puppetry festival, which I worked at a few months ago. He's also a bit of a perfume connoisseur so we had a lot of puppet-and-perfume-related chat and I got some great tips on places to go to sniff interesting things. I'm not from Montreal so I took a circuitous route to find the salon and happened to end up in the midst of riot police, burning barricades and protesters outside the Palais de Congres on my way there. The fact that this did not even come up in conversation I think says something about the calm atmosphere that prevails at Studio M & W! Nice salon touches include: - a very stylish knee-length black robe with pleated tie belt (worn underneath the clipping-catcher longer robe) - choice of fizzy or still water ... - ... which came on a platter cocoa-sprinkled with the stencilled monogram of the salon - fancy! And the cut? He expertly and precisely interpreted my need for an updating of my assymetric style into something "un peu plus boheme, un peu plus exageré" which is exactly what I got. And the proof of the pudding - my hair was admired by strangers not once but twice during my walk back to my flat!

I once booked an appointment at Studio M&w. I told the person who was booking that I needed…read moresomething very specific and did not want any creativity or "art" performed on my head. When I arrived there, the receptionist told me that my appointment had been re-scheduled because the stylist who had been suggested to me BY THE SALON did not want to cut my hair if he couldn't do whatever he wanted to do. Just as well, since these "artists" rarely give a cut that doesn't require you to hire a live-in hairdresser to style your hair daily. I don't understand why they didn't call me back to tell me that my appointment was cancelled. I wasted a lot of time getting there, only to be reassigned to some "C" grade stylist. So I left.

Even wrote down the haircut I wanted in French so there would not be any communication issues. They ruined my hair with layers when I did not ask for it. Not only did they ruin my hair with choppy layers but also the customer service is terrible ! I couldn't stop crying after my haircut and first visit and the owner Sam reached out to me asking for me to go visit again. He wanted to "fix" my haircut and I went on the same day as I appreciated the gesture. There was NO APOLOGY whatsoever . I got soaked in the rain the second time I went (as it was raining) . Sam started lecturing me on the fact that I'm young, my hair will grow back etc . They did not even offer some hot water or anything. There are two owners . One is a woman and the other is a man named Sam. The woman gave me a haircut and she chopped everything off! I said I did not want conditioner and she kept saying I need it. Also, I didn't want layers she gave me layers. I wrote it down in French, exactly the haircut I wanted but she refused to read it. Sam refused to apologize for any of this- my discomfort, the time I spent visiting them the horrible haircut. According to him, it was not horrible. They said I was lucky to get to sit on their chair. I never met such arrogant and self obsessed hair dressers. Never visit them again. Avoid at all cost if you care about your hair. Now I have a choppy cheap chair it. Sam didn't have a curve scissors to adjust the layers. They are not well educated in the hair space at all. Worst haircut of my life. It will take years before my hair grows back. Worst ever!!

If I remember well, I have been coming to Mod's hair for 4 years now. I encountered this place thru…read moreFacebook when lots of my friends like this place. For the longest time, I had my natural black hair; I was ready to take a slight risk to highlight my hair. I was appointed to JP (Jean Phillipe). When I arrived at the institution, I was welcome with warmth. Special love goes to Claire. Such a sweetheart; she is beautiful. Took care of me with drinks (great Cappuccino)and by conversing like we have been friends forever. JP is a hair colorist; he was very understanding about my fear to change my natural hair color. He put me on ease; tried bunch of samples on my hair. It gets confusing, but he was super helpful. Trust me he did a fantastic job. Check out is Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/le.mec.du.balayage I just love that dude. First time, JP gave me a caramel blond highlights over my black hair. Second time, I had ombré highlights of caramel blond again. Both times, I loved it, and can't wait for his next creation. For hair cut and style, initially I was Akiko, (who was the sweetest person and a great stylist) but she left to pursue her career somewhere else. My last two hair cut and style were done by Ly! He is a Superman for the hair. He can talk and feel the hair. He can work any texture of hair. And you ask how I know.... well he took care of three sisters's hair, and we all the girls have different type of hair, from frizzy, fine and wavy. He never goes drastic with me; he knows with my features what style would suit. He is an absolute creature. Beside JP, I love Ly too. Beside my sisters, few of my friends go to JP and Ly. The combination of both is lethal.

It was my first time ever getting to enjoy a manicure spiff up while the dye was setting in my hair - so I ended up with both black hair and chic black nails. It was such an enjoyable glow up! My stylist was super sweet and gave me EXACTLY the hair colour and cut I wanted, which is, as many will know, not an easy thing to always achieve when you go to a new stylist. He listened carefully to everything I explained that I was looking for, and went out of his way to ensure that I got it! I even left with my specific dye recipe (which is kind of like a half-black, half dark brown mix) on a slip of paper, since he understood that I travel a lot and it would just make it so much easier to hand the recipe to my next stylist! I was so appreciative of that, because it's often hard to get a stylist to understand the kind of colour I'm looking for (surprisingly enough). Cut out the reddish, tone it down to a cool, deep, darkest brown bordering on black but not as unnatural looking as black. He nailed it. The next time I'm back in Montreal, this is where I will take myself immediately. The nail salon is next door, but they have a door between the hair salon and nail salon, so that your stylist can simply walk you through, with your towel on your head, sit you in a chair, and the manicurist knows exactly how much time there is to get your nails done before you have to go back over for your rinse. It's such a great working relationship. I was so happy with the manicure that I went back again for a redo a week and a half later! Fair warning, though - this salon IS in Westmount, the moneyed part of Montreal, so you will pay through the nose for your perfect salon experience. For me, it was worth it. A girl's gotta treat herself once in a while, and since I only typically hit a salon once every six months, I could justify it! Ha!
