Absolutely horrific. Where do I begin? Please make sure you view my photos & Screen Shots…read more I came in and asked VERY clearly that I wanted platinum blond hair (my hair was already light blond, just had root growth). I said I wanted my under hair all back to my natural color, no highlights. I wanted it to be this way so I wouldn't have to touch it moving forward. My plan was only to do 1/2 head of highlights in the future. The "blond specialist" told me I would see the dark. I said YES that is what I want. I told her not once but 3 times I did not want it natural or blended. When I do braid tails I want to see the difference. So she puts my hair in foils and I'm thinking ok she's doing highlights on top and dark low lights on the bottom. NO she was putting highlights on the under parts too and a few lowlights that didn't even go to my ends. Completely dismissed what I asked for and did her own thing. Aswell she put in a 10 developer which DARKENED my blond hair. I didn't get anything close to platinum or what I asked for. Furthermore my haircut was completely uneven. I had so much gold in my hair. She also didn't do the highlights close to my scalp... they were uneven in many parts so of course I would have to come in sooner and spend more. It's a dirty trick some places do. I had an inch of roots by my part. Also the very few lowlights she did she didn't even put in evenly. I have panels and the ends didn't get any of the color. I have spent everyday hating my hair and felt ripped off spending almost $700 on a hair that wasn't close to what I asked for. On top of this they are jacking up product prices a lot. I got R&Co which they added an extra $20 more than the the company sells it for. After a few uses the cap became clogged to I contacted R&Co with a video showing the faulty product. The product is supposed to be a fine mist and as you can see it come out thick and not a mist. The company emailed me back telling me it is their policy that all salons that buy from them must either refund or replace the product and it would be MY choice which I preferred. I contacted Ari & Blair letting them know I contacted the company and what their policy states. I copied and pasted the email. I asked for a refund to be put on my credit card which they have on file. They refused and told me I could come in and get a replacement. I responded with no, I asked for a refund. It also costs me more money to hop in an uber as I do not drive. Again they are very dismissive and do what they want. Since they ignored AGAIN what I requested I decided to contact R&CO and tell them they are not following policy. This bring me to this negative review which I was on the fence about writing but after their dismissive email I decided no this experience is beyond bad. They are over charging, jacking up product prices, don't listen to what you ask and you will pay more than Vancouver prices for awful looking hair. Good thing Calgary has other places and I have already booked somewhere else to fix the awful hair they gave me. To be honest this has to be the worst hair color and cut I have ever had and the most expensive. I'm actually on the fence about contacting bbb about this. The other negative reviews are very accurate.

I said it hurts, but she ignored me and kept grabbing on to my hair and pulling it...I was in shock at how this behavior seems ok by them... Back home now and my scalp is still red and my head hurts. Will switch to a hair salon that doesn't intentionally hurt me.

I'm naturally brunette with loads of grey "sparkle" roots and colour my hair blonde, she always finds a way to make it look great and blends it well. I recently did the hi lift colour on my roots, which lifts colour and tones at the same time, and I am thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Kristyn at Karma. I always enjoy chatting with her and have fun visiting the salon, and as a bonus they have tasty chai lattes and dairy free milk.

Instead, I walked out with a darker shade than what I came in with originally, AND roots that were left completely untouched, leaving me with a terrible, patchy hair. I paid $550 for this disaster--a color nowhere close to what I asked for and roots that look awful and unfinished. They do NOT care about their customers AT ALL; they only want your money. I contacted them immediately to request a refund, and they couldn't even be bothered to take my complaint seriously. Instead, they suggested I come back for roots "fix." Really? My hair is already breaking from this mess, and is nowhere close to the color i had asked for, and you expect me to come back & trust you again? The fact that my roots were left completely untouched and patchy speaks volumes about the low quality of service here. Let alone the fact that didn't even come close to achieving the color she said she'd do. Save yourself the money and stress. I spent $550 only to leave the salon in tears.
