I went to Fantasy Cuts for the first time referred by 3 co-workers and was very surprised by what my hair can do :) Ask for Pam - she is the queen of Ash blonde. Pam took some time to ask what type of cut and colour I want and really listened. After she was done, we both blowdry my super long hair and she styled my hair what i requested (beach look) and gave me tips on how to maintain the health of my hair. Price is fantastic, I paid 200 for cut and ash baby beach look highlights. I would definitely go back again! I would recommend this place. The ladies are kind, loud, no BS but they are very competent. I will go back again.
These ladies are amazing hair artists. Go and ask to get the Elumen treatment by Ann, and you won't be disappointed! The colours stay vibrant and look great in the sun. Their pricing is super reasonable as well and definitely worth. See before and after pic, I paid $260+tip for the highlights+balayage+trim package.
I went in on a Sunday afternoon. Very satisfied with the results. Good price and she really paid attention to the details. I would definitely recommend. Thanks to Pam for doing an awesome job.
I hate that I have to write this review because the ladies here are nice. Alas, I've gotta keep it real. I visited this salon twice, so the 2 stars is because my first visit wasn't so bad. FIRST VISIT: I went in with medium brown hair (with a lot of grey hair, because I'm unlucky and started to go grey super early), and asked for a head of icy/silver-ish BLONDE highlights. I showed a picture of a blonde. (I'd read reviews and saw that this place was known for lifting darker hair, so I was excited to try them. My hair can handle a lot of bleach and not snap, and it also lifts fairly fast, so I wasn't too worried about that.) After 6-ish hours (and $280 + 20% tip) I left with my hair still quite dark, but with some nice (dark-ish) gray highlights. It wasn't what I wanted, but you know what? I didn't mind it, and it was 6 hours of work for a reasonable price. Every other salon wanted to quote me $500+ because my hair is long. The color I ended up with here suited my skin tone, and though there was some dreaded gold tones and some obvious mistakes, it wasn't THAT bad for the price. The lady who did my hair was nice, too, and I appreciated that they were all wearing their masks properly, had hand sanitizer on-site and asked clients to wash their hands upon entering the salon. SECOND VISIT: 2 months later I came back, hoping to get my roots done and for some icy-blonde highlights (I wanted to be blonde!). They convinced me that I needed the whole top half of my head highlighted and the whole head toned. So it would cost $220 this time (and despite it turning out REALLY bad, I left a 20% tip because when they blowdried it, they parted it to the very far side where it looked more blonde, and I didn't part it back the right way (and subsequently see all the orange and patchiness) until I was in my car. As you can see from the attached photos (all from my second visit), my hair is a smorgasbord of colours. Read the captions. I took the photos in 2 different types of lighting so you can get a fair look at the true tones. They are raw and untouched. In one, you can see that the underneath side near my temples is a cool blonde (more like the color I wanted), but has a random patch of brown through it. At the part, it's all orange/yellow/silver/brown. A little bit of everything, really. Then at the crown, I lifted it up and it's REALLY gold/orange with bits of brown and yellow. In the picture I showed the hair stylist, the girl had beautiful icy blonde hair--a color I know I could get quite easily as my hair lifts well and is strong. Needless to say, after getting home and having a good long look through my hair, it's basically a disaster and I'm going to have to pay a HUGE amount of money to get this fixed after already spending $600 here to look like a calico cat. Again, I hate having to write this review, but I spent a LOT of money here and don't want someone else to end up $600 poorer and with gold/streaky hair. I didn't complain to them because I don't want to go back there at all to have it 'fixed,' as I'm (naturally) terrified that I'd leave with nothing but more stripes/patches and major damage. Edit: I have more characters so I want to add some good points: The lady who did my hair was SO good at cleaning the bleach off of me; she used a face cloth and wiped my ears and neck. She was also gentle with brushing out my hair after. She was quietly friendly and a nice person, and so is the owner (both of whom seem to enjoy what they do). I also saw them do a haircut on a girl a chair over, and the haircut looked beautiful. On their Instagram, you can also see pics of other people's hair bleaching that turned out nice. I didn't have such luck (they didn't even take a pic of mine because surely they knew it didn't look nice). They also did come back often and check the hair to make sure it wasn't burning off.
Great prices ($180) for balayage ashy blonde on my natural ginger. Pam was very diligent and good at matching the random Pinterest photo I brought in. Easy parking on the side street. No frills salon, don't expect any champagne or extra pampering but the stylists are nice. Pam was having a bad personal day (she got in a car accident) but she didn't let it affect her work. She gave me a free trim with my colouring! My only complaint is maybe new washing station... my neck/lower scalp is bruised from yesterday. Lack of padding at sink?
I've been coming here regularly to get my hair colored for the past 3 years and Julie never disappoints!! Service is efficient and my hair always turns out better than I hoped for. Julie is amazing at working with Asian hair and the best part is my hair is still as healthy as ever! Another win is that the prices are affordable compared to other hair salons in the Vancouver market. I highly recommend Julie because she will make all your hair color dreams come true!!
Judging from all the reviews and photos, I thought that this place would know how to turn fine, straight Asian hair into voluminous, healthy locks, and they were able to do just that. Julie is the owner who helped mix my hair colour (warm brown) but Ann coloured and cut my hair. They were able to achieve quite a light colour for not using bleach. She cut off a good 5 inches of damaged hair. I wish she gave me a warning but luckily I wasn't too attached to the length. I also received a moisturizing treatment ($30) to hopefully minimize some of the damage to my hair. End cost: $200. I will definitely come here again and I would recommend this place. But I will also tell people to expect loud, no-frills, but competent type of service. This is not a boutique type salon. Just be prepared for that.
I have been coming to Fantasy cuts for years and Julie never disappoints with both cut and colour. She is a hair wizard and always knows what colour/cut will suit my face best. She even curls my hair after to make me feel extra pretty. I recommend Julie to anyone who is considering colouring their hair! Overall, everyone who works at Fantasy cuts is sweet and genuine and its a great experience overall :)
I found out about Julie and Fantasy Cuts after my cousin recommended her to me. His girlfriend has been going there for years and I've always admired how beautiful her hair is always, so I decided to check her out. I went with my mom that day and first thing I walk in I was greeted by Julie. She smiled, welcomed me and asked what she could do for me. I told her I wanted to get my hair done. She quickly ushered me to a stool and brought me the colour swatch books. I told her I wanted blonde highlights. She instantly went to work, prepping the stuff and making sure I was comfortable. Throughout the whole process, even when other customers came in and she was attending to them, she would always come back to me to ask if I was ok. Ever since then I've been going to her to get my hair done. Shes really good, pays attention to details and the clients needs. She always offers suggestions and advice but respects the decision of the client. Her salon is quite big as well, shes always cleans up after each client. She does offer other services like ear piercing, eyelash extensions, waxing etc. Haven't had a chance to try the other services except ear piercing. Got my cartilage done after so many years of wanting it but being scared to do it. She did it in seconds and didn't hurt at all. It didn't get infected and healed right away. In the end, I really recommend this place. You won't be disappointed.
Booked a cut + full head colour appointment with Pam, and showed her a picture, but Pam and Julie recommended that to get the shade I wanted, I should get it toned with highlights. The appointment ended up lasting for a good 4 hours, with Pam serving other customers and cutting their hair in between waiting for the toning to be done on my hair. I was totally fine with that, as both Pam and Julie made sure that I was taken care of throughout - with Pam even offering me healthy snacks and tea which I really appreciated! Her service was absolutely delightful, and fun conversations with her helped the time pass fast. My hair turned out somewhat different from the shade that I wanted, with the end product being more ashy than brown, but I really loved it still as it looked great and was a really nice change for spring! Wish I lived in Vancouver (I was visiting from Toronto) so I could come back more often, but would highly recommend this place - great prices too. Just make sure that if you're looking for the exact shade as the picture you bring in, then I recommend really making it very clear to your stylist to avoid surprises. Update: I went back to the salon the day after to clarify the difference in colour, and Julie and Pam explained really patiently why they didn't do the colour in the picture I showed them - that colour would have faded to yellow (which I'd said I didn't want), and thus the current cooler ashy tones they gave me would fade a little warmer after a few washes. This reassured me quite a bit, and I'd say to trust the expertise of the Fantasy Cuts team! :)
Definitely not the colour I asked for but Julie explained that achieving the colour I wanted would fry my hair and I truly agree because my hair had been over bleached. I had previously wanted a light brown back in June but the colourist dyed my hair blonde and said I looked better a blonde. I paid her 500$ for frying my head and she would not dye my hair brown as I asked for. I only paid 160$ at Fantasy cuts and the colour is so beautiful and blended in so well. Julie really explained what colour I would achieve and even showed me samples of hair colour to give me an idea of what my hair would turn out to be. She was very friendly over the phone as well and assured me she would correct my hair colour and box dyed hair and that is what she has done. I'm so happy with the results and even my hair cut and style. The entire process took about an hour and a half! :) I'll definitely be back!

I found fantasy cuts salon on Instagram and checked their reviews on Yelp and google. They had amazing reviews, lots of photos, and were said to be very responsive. I had booked my appointment with the salon on Instagram and I was able to communicate easily and get the time slot I wanted. Their also understanding when it comes to quick change of time for your appointment. When I had arrive, they told me to wash my hands and go straight to the chair. Then we got right into discussion with what I wanted with my hair. Once that was finished, they gave me the price(affordable) and got started on my hair. All the staff were friendly and grateful that they had new comers like me coming into their Salon. I had Anne who is a lovely, kind, and a good listener. Especially with what you want. She worked very efficiently and she walked me through every. Also, she continuously gave me options and asked me questions so that she was able to achieve my look. With that, my hair came out so natural and blended. Literally what I wanted. I would 100% recommend this place. read more

One word - AMAZING!!!! Julie is a true artist and has a passion for what she does. It is her own salon and she is always there working hard. This was my first time, a good friend took me, she has been going there for years. Fantasy Cuts has a new lifelong client ! I gave Julie some thoughts on what I wanted but told her to do her thing. I had a few photos on my phone, we looked at them, talked about the styling and then color. Everything she said was spot on and made sense. Salon was clean, comfortable and I was lucky, I had no wait, but when I left, 3 people were waiting for Julie. Call her, or walk-in. I came from the West End, if you don't drive (like me), get off at Commercial-Broadway, and catch the #9 or #99 heading to Mount Pleasant (Get on Shoppers Drugmart side). STRONG AND HONEST RECOMMENDATION from me, client for life! Thanks Julie. read more

Got my black hair dyed into this beautiful cotton candy color by Pam! She was very honest and warned me that the color would fade quickly but I still wanted it regardless haha! She did an amazing job and I got the exact color I wanted. Also got a trim too. In total this was $200 but so worth it :) read more

I checked on Yelp and hope I can get a completely change - Julie made it all happen :) I used to have super long, messy, half black half dyed brown hair and I want to change to long bob and dye some new colors. I came there and showed Julie some Tyler Swift's long bob hair pics and she immediately got what I want and recommended me to try light brown with blonde as highlight. I'm not sure about how it would go but after 3 hrs I got exactly what I want! And with all the process it cost me almost $200 including keeping color shampoo and tips which is not too expensive. And whoever saw my new hair all gave me good comment and asked me where I did it. Anyway, Julie is the best :) read more

I'm so glad I ended up choosing this salon and its team to give life to my boring virgin, dark brown asian hair (re: stubborn and hard to work with). Not only were they able to accommodate me last minute on a Saturday in December (aka party up-do season), but owner Julie and her team worked their magic and gave me silky ashy blonde highlights (which even hours later, I can't stop staring at). You're not going to be offered coffee or champagne, but you will be greeted with courtesy and treated well by Julie and her team. The price was very reasonable for the highlights and I will be back there for my touch ups :D read more

I came here pretty much for a hair trim and left with more than half my hair on the floor. It was aggressively layered. The hairdresser started randomly cutting my hair vertically with what appeared to be dull scissors. I now have random fly aways everywhere making my hair look electrified. You cannot actually see the flyaways in the photo so it's worst in person than it looks in the dim photo below. It looks like someone ripped my hair as opposed to cut it. She literally cut it as quickly as she could like she was a blindfolded Edward scissor hands without a care in the world. Didn't wash my hair or wet it at all, which is kinda important when you have any sort of waves. There is a random thick chunk of hair on the left side that's very obvious and is sticking out in addition to the random flyaways which are very short and difficult to tame. The 15 min haircut somehow resulted in what appears like 20 years of sun damage due to the broken hair. She kept pushing for me to dye my hair. I'm not sure she was actually trained to cut hair. I don't know how to fix this. Just an FYI, I have wavy thick hair- maybe they do better with thin, straight Asian hair. Just get your 5 year old kid to cut your hair, they'll probably put much more care into it. You've been warned! read more
