I've given this salon multiple chances and unfortunately continue to leave unhappy. My most recent…read morevisit was $250 for a root touch-up and long layers. Within 4 weeks the colour faded unevenly and turned brassy, and the roots did not blend. The layers removed too much density and made my hair feel thin and wispy. Nowhere near to the reference photo style. I declined a $90 gloss and feel the colour service relied on that to correct poor formulation. Permanent dye is also being repeatedly pulled through hair that's already been coloured giving it a dry, patchy look. On another visit, I asked for soft fringe bangs using a clear reference photo, but they were cut wet and left choppy and uneven! This is like basic hair technique 101!

She is definitely skilled, able to thin out my hair while still maintaining length and style. I've got so much more volume now and my hands go through my hair like there's nothing there. Nobody has ever made my hair as light as Kana, let alone as nice looking afterwards. Before I touched it, I honestly thought I'd have to ask for more to be taken off. But nope!

I've been going to Citrus Hair Salon for around 8 years. I've had several wonderful hair experts…read morehelp when my favourite person Amanda Shires wasn't available but I try to make sure that she's the only one I see. She knows my hair better than I do. We've gone through a bunch of different hair colours over the years, I used to dye my hair and started disliking the dark root look, so when Covid hit, I decided that I would start to grow our my natural colour. As a professional musician, our band is always having photos done, I didn't want to look grey, I wanted to somehow keep a hint of blonde but maintain a somewhat natural look with my salt and pepper coming in. I discussed this with Amanda who knew exactly what to do, she suggested foils and we've been doing foils ever since. I would never go to any other salon. Citrus Hair Salon is so classy, from the wonderful staff that greets you at the door to the person popping by with snacks. They have fantastic communication, you get a phone call and a text if your stylist is running late. The salon itself is very stylish, the wash area seats are soft and padded and you never get neck strain unlike other salons when your hair is being washed plus they have an array of wonderful products. If you like hair extensions - they have those too! Amanda is not only an expert with colours and styles, she's an incredibly beautiful and kind, smart, charismatic human. There needs to be more stars available to add to this review - great doesn't quite match the service and quality, it should say extraordinary. Thank you Amanda for taking such good care of me all these years and to the owner and all the staff as well. It's easy to write a bad review, I wish more people would write reviews when people and establishments are outstanding.

Names provided on their website. Sitting in my styling chair and having Kim take care of me, I was actually quite impressed. Not only was she a delight to deal with but she's an absolute expert at what she does...I received exactly what I was looking for. I was really enjoying myself...the energy, the vibe and knowing I was in good hands with Kim who was cutting my hair for the first time. I was in this Zen place thinking to myself in my chair ....finally I found my salon. ........................Until At the end, as I was checking out.....Luna charged me $120. I reminded her that actually Kim's fee for a woman's cut on the website is $100. She mentioned that this is the minimum and that it can increase based on the length of hair, quality of hair...and this and that....which is funny because they call you before the appointment and ask you all that stuff, but don't mention any price increase, until you have to pay....lol I asked her again and she said, the website is not accurate... wow...ok.... Anyhoo, I did find it a little disingenuous especially considering that Kim my stylist mentioned it was easy to cut my hair because of how healthy it is...so why the extra charge then?..... Anyway, moving on....Kim gave me a great cut and she's worth every dollar. What really pissed me off was something else..... I was paying cash, and as I handed Luna my bills she asked would you like change back? I said yes. Twice she asked me and then gave me this look like you're not leaving a tip?! She asked me again, you want ALL of it back?...Yes, I said....As I wanted to manage the tip situation with Kim herself upon a little chat before heading out. What made this even worse was, as Luna was giving me back my change...she dropped every single nickel, dime and Loonie on the desk. Before giving me ....this judgemental look. Every single minute of that enjoyable experience in that salon before checkout crashed and burned. Ok....I'll tell you....it wasn't even the money. I felt judged. I did speak with Kim afterwards outside only to be fair, as I wanted her to know, because she is a great stylist. However, it is exactly due to people like the front desk girl Luna cashing me out that I will not return here. I'm sad to say. Hair salons are like any other businesses. Reception is everything. The first thing the customers experiences and the last thing the customer leaves with...either brings them back or not. Interestingly, Upon arrival, the front girl was someone else and her energy and service matched an upscale environment, professional and courteous. Pity for them she wasn't the one at the front as I was leaving. If you are the reception for the evening, it is not your business how much tip clients leave or choose not to leave. It is however, your business to problem solve which she didn't do. At all. "The website is not accurate" is all she gave me with a blank stare. She didn't even attempt to ask or consult my stylist about the fee confusion, or to ask management to look into the matter and honor what could have simply been an honest misunderstanding. She just dropped my change as you would throw a street performer without a second thought, as to customer satisfaction or your own professional responsibility to the salon and its owner. If it weren't for Kim's great cut they'd only get 1 star.

Once seated, he asked me what kind of hair style I wanted to get. I described to him, the length and the image I wanted. Then he told me to move to the hair washing station, he washed my hair and gave me head massage. When I get back to my seat, he gave me mini shoulder massage. It was a very relaxing experience! We had a bit of casual conversation throughout the haircut experience, about his background and where he came from. I specifically asked for short bangs and he asked my daily routine. He wanted to make sure that he cut my bangs to the style that I can maintain everyday. I was really happy with the result. The price is slightly more expensive than with other stylist or other places, but it is totally justifiable. Nit, on the website, it says that haircut include eyebrow cut, but he did not offer it maybe due to COVID-19?

I made an appointment for a haircut. Usually a haircut means including shampoo and blow dry. If I…read morewant a single cut only I would specify that. However, when I sat down, Ada start to cut my hair and spraying water. I thought maybe she will wash my hair later. She didn't; she just said she would put some moroccan oil on my hair because my hair was dry. I was skeptical about it because when I was at another hair salon, the hairstylist put the moroccan oil after my hair has been washed. Then she asked Richard to turn on the curler. I felt odd because I didn't ask for my hair to be curly. I was the last customer of the day. She just kept cutting and then she curled the ends of my hair. She said, "I want you to have a different style. Do you know the star XXX? She looks nice with this hairstyle." But that is not what I'd asked for; I just want my hair to be straight with layers and the ends trimmed. She also said," I bought the curler for $100 but now curlers are so cheap, only $40 something. You see how I curled the hair? I will teach you next time." It was strange that she said that; no hairstylists would say that when they curled your hair. It was 30 degrees outside but she asked Richard to turn off the air conditioning. Saving electricity? I don't know why. She kept cutting then she asked me to stand up to let her see my hair. She said she would see my hair better if I stand up. If she cannot cut my hair using the mirror nor just by looking at my face while I was sitting, she is genuinely unprofessional. This is the first time that a hairstylist asked me to stand up in order for him/her to cut the hair. The phone rang after a few seconds, I sat down as she went to answer the phone. When she took off the towel on my shoulder and the protective coat that I wore after she finished cutting my hair. She said. "Wait, your hair." The she cut the ends of my hair again on my shirt and she said, "Don't move" as her scissor was close to my neck. It is really unprofessional for the hairstylists to cut the hair again after they took off the towel and the protective coat. She charged me the price of a single cut at the end. However, I never ask for a single cut only; I expect the haircut includes shampoo and blow dry. Also, I, the client, shouldn't need to stand up for her to see and to cut my hair; that just means she is unskillful. Moreover, she shouldn't cut the client's hair after taking away the towel and the protective coat from his/her clothes. Importantly, she didn't cut the hairstyle that I, the client, had asked for. She had done a hairstyle that she wants instead. If she is that arrogant, then I will just try another hair salon. P.S. After I washed my hair that night and the curls were gone, I realized that my hair on the right side is half inch shorter than my hair on the left side. I suspect that the good reviews were written by their relatives or friends, or just for a discount from the hair salon. Their prices are not cheap; same prices as other Chinese hair salons. The owners (Ada and Richard) are not professional at all, regarding their skills and service. There are better choices of Chinese hair salons in Vancouver.

This review is long overdue but here goes. Having read the reviews here on yelp, I went in to see Emma excited to hopefully find a new hair stylist. My previous stylist had understandably moved back to her home country. I came in and the cut was going fine when Emma's boyfriend walked in. She excused herself and went to talk to him. I would have understood if he was quickly dropping something off or anything else quick, but they stood there and had a play by play update on each other's day. She couldn't finish the cut and then catch up? I sat there, in her chair, twiddling my thumbs. I was bewildered and couldn't leave with half my hair cut or pipe up only to get a shitty rushed hair cut. I was disappointed at her lack of professionalism. This is something that is easily remedied. It would have been nice to make her my go-to stylist because the cut was decent, but from my first impression, I'd rather find another. The first cut was the interview and she'll not be getting my business again. So the next time I needed a cut I went to see Jen. I was still looking for a stylist to call home. I told her what I wanted, which was a basic trim for my bangs and edgy layers. We get to talking and I tell her how oddly proud I am about my first white hair. It was not initially part of my bangs, but then, she cut it as part of my bangs. She cut my first white hair. I don't know why she would do that. If a client tells the stylist something about her hair that she likes, why would the stylist cut it? Especially since I wanted a trim and not something totally different. Perhaps it's only a hair, but I feel that Jen did not listen and like Emma she'll not be getting my business again. read more

Well, after many months of searching I have finally found myself the perfect hair stylist!! Being new to Vancouver it was difficult for me to find someone that I trusted, was not too conservative and provided excellent service. I am happy to report Lisa is the best hair stylist I have ever had. Lisa and her team at Lisa's Chop Shop are so awesome. If you're looking for a new style that's a little outside of the box, or inside it as well, the Chop Shop is the place to go. And to top it off, the team are so much fun. You are never short of conversation and or something to have a good laugh about! On my first visit I told Lisa I wanted to try soemthing a little different and wasn't too sure if it would suit me. I said to her it doesn't really matter because it's just hair and it will grow back. (I know, I'm every stylists dream client....no worries). Lisa said to me, and I quote, "No, it does matter. I don't want you to walk out of here not liking your hair and just waiting for it to grow back. I want you to love it and think yes! I made the right choice." So, we chatted about different ideas until I was sure and I walked out of the Chop Shop with hair that I LOVED. Now I'm a regular client and wouldn't go anywhere else. Check out Lisa's Chop Shop...you will not be disappointed, I promise. read more

I should have left as soon as I was told the age old myth that getting frequent trims would lead to more hair growth. I was dealt with Olivia on my visit. I unfortunately did not feel that I was given her undivided attention as there would be several times where I felt that I was talking to a wall. Her focus would end up being else where on a different conversation while I would be voicing the concerns of my hair and what should be avoided when trimming or putting in layers. By the end of it, I was left with what looked like a hack job and it looked no where near the picture I had showed at the start of it. There was poor blending of layers and I ended up with two clear tiers of hair. I also requested for the front bangs to be left alone and she had thinned them out as well. I felt that she had used poor discretion, as it seems that one side of my head was favoured heavily with short layers. I thought maybe it would grow out and I would feel better about it, but I find myself having to spend extra time trying to straightening out all the little layers so it doesn't look like I am wearing a mop on my head. I would not go back again. Maybe if it was the owner I was booking with. But next time I need a quick last minute freshening up, it would not be here. read more

Lisa's chop shop is a totally different experience than most other salons I've been to. All the girls are friendly and fun, and there is a unique, eclectic feel to the place, from the decor to the stylists themselves. Each of the girls gets to personalize their station so you get a sense of the mind and creativity of the person doing your hair. Although they have a flare for funky and out-of-the-ordinary cut and colour (I went there myself for a zebra-printed, shaved undercut, and they did an amazing job, by the way!), I witnessed several beautiful cuts of the more mainstream variety emerge in the just the few hours I was there. And don't let the casual and comfortable environment fool you, these girls take hair seriously, and Lisa, the franchise owner and meticulous detail hawk, is adamant that all her employees feel the same need for perfection as she does. I had a wonderful, caring, and relaxed experience there, and best of all my hair looked pretty kick-ass as I strutted out of there. I will definitely be returning!! read more

I'm the kind of person who has had mediocre (at best) experiences at hair salons and avoids them to the point of badly trimming my own bangs and ends...well after over six years of not combing properly and repeated dye jobs, it's gotten to the point where my waist length hair has split ends everywhere - irreversible damage.. One blow of the wind, and it would be in tangles, sometimes dreadlocks if it was 5 minutes of standing outside on the ferries.. So it was time to chop it all off and start fresh! After extensive research and a few recommendations, I finally took the plunge and got my haircut from Lisa yesterday, and I gotta say, it's the best short hairstyle I've ever had. Also, she is an easygoing and down to earth person, which helps as I gambled by bringing in my nearly three year old son. I would definitely get my haircut from her again, and I couldn't say that about the 5-6 other stylists I've seen in Vancouver. read more

I had a "911 Hair Emergency" due to the extended vacation of my usual "clipper." Suspending my fear of a bad job at the hands of someone new, I summoned courage and entered Lisa's Chop Shop. What I found was a fun, clean, high-energy place. I explained my problem and the Chop Shop team immediately jumped to the challenge. With the intake paperwork completed, Lauren ("Ren") was assigned to my case. She assessed the situation, gave me some options, asked my preferences, set to work creating her art. On top of the fantastic cut, Lauren performed the most marvelous and relaxing head massage. After having had a few days to live with Lauren's creation, I can say that I'm 110% happy with my Chop Shop experience. I heartily recommend Lauren at Lisa's Chop Shop for a fantastic hair cutting experience. She is my new go-to for haircuts! Greg read more

I had all but given up on my hair after a home dye job gone wrong, when I walked into Lisa's Chop shop on a whim. I made an appointment with Lisa, and she did an amazing job with my hair. She dyed my damaged, dark brown, long hair, a beautiful mixture of bright blue and purple. Lisa really cares about her clients, she took great care of my damaged hair, but still managed to make it look cool as hell!!! Even more than that, the atmosphere of the chop shop is welcoming, and relaxing. Everyone there is fun and friendly, and they all go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable. Being there, you feel like you matter, and leaving you are a much happier person than when you went in. Plus the massages :) read more

I saw Jen B for a haircut this week after my regular stylist at another salon went MIA. I'm not too sorry he did because Jen is lovely. She's one of those awesome stylists that A: does what you want, not what she wants B: does it well and C: is very friendly. I hate getting my hair cut. Hanging out with a stranger and pair of scissors? Not my favorite but Jen is so chill and kind that I felt totally at ease. The salon itself is great. Comfy waiting area, funky eclectic art...the place ain't cheap but it's on par with other Vancouver salons. I will definitely be going back.

I've been going to Lisa's Chop Shop for a couple years now. I think the best way to describe going there is that they work hard to make it an experience. Mainly I've had my hair cut by Lisa, but everyone I've gone to is easy going, interesting and fun to chat with. Lisa in particular has an amazing energy and is thoughtful, curious and inspiring, so I always feel reinvigorated after my hair cut. They do a good job of customer service and will not only call to remind you of your appointment, but will reach out periodically to ask you a week later how their service went. I wish more businesses did that. Oh right, the cut is also pretty spot on. read more

Dropped by Lisa's Chop Shop to see Jessy for a shave (full scalp and face). I've been shaving my head for over 20 years and Jessy's shave was one of the closest I've ever had. She was meticulous in her attention to detail. The orientation of the hair follicles on the back of my head vary from the bottom to the top, and I usually have to tell the barber about that in order to get a close shave.

After an unpleasant experience with my past hairdresser I was on the search for someone new. I just started going to the chop shop after a recommendation from a friend. I saw Lisa and think she is fantastic at her craft! She really takes time and makes sure you are getting what you want / what is going to work best. I was really happy with the cut and the overall experience. I would definitely recommend Lisa's chop shop for anyone looking for a new stylist. read more

The salon has an upbeat funky vibe that you might not expect when walking by.this salon is a nice break from the the super fancy and overpriced ones scattered around the city.

I was fortunate to have Angie cut my hair weekly at a different salon before I moved to Hawaii, and…read morenow that I have moved back from Hawaii during COVID, she's got her own place and it's fantastic - the same things that had me going to her weekly before are the same now: - Super friendly and talks as much or as little as you would like. - Super fast yet clean and effective with the cuts! - Wallet-friendly: $15 for kids, $17 for men, $21 for women. - Those with wheelchairs or baby strollers fit nicely. - COVID made waiting indoors a little different but the couches are still there. As a parent of a toddler and someone who needs a short, military cut all of the time, Angie checks nearly all of the boxes! Parking can be hit or miss on the street meters out front, given how busy Main Street can be. She only accepts cash or debit card, but it's a great choice for a haircut when you're in town!

I have been going to Angie since she opened her place. Wonderful service and very reasonable rates…read more Highly recommended!!
