I've had long hair, angled bobs, pixies, faux hawks and now my current, highly stylized short on the sides long in the middle do- as well as an array of complex color schemes. He's excellent. Strangers, who are often hairdressers themselves frequently stop me to compliment, admire and take a closer look. And, he's got personality too- he makes me feel like a million dollars everytime I visit. Definitely recommend- especially for short cuts.

I went to the Curious salon in Aspen Landing for a ladies cut. I recently moved to Calgary from…read moreVictoria, and finding a new hairdresser is tough. I saw this salon while grocery shopping, and decided to try it out on a whim - very glad I did! The initial appointment booking was positive - the receptionist asked a couple of questions about my hair, recommended a stylist and was helpful in finding a good time (evenings and weekends... :P) When I arrived for my appointment, the salon appeared fairly clean and tidy with lots of product displays. I was sent to the hair salon downstairs (I didn't realize the building was so big!), where I met my stylist Shauni. She was friendly and welcoming, and totally put me at ease immediately. Here's the thing. I like to change my hair up, and I like a stylist who isn't afraid to make some suggestions based on my face, the way I describe my routine, the length of my hair and any goals I might have (growing it out, something "beachy", etc...) I can be somewhat vague and I don't always know exactly what I want when I arrive at the salon, so I love someone who can be flexible, take charge and produce a great cut on a limited amount of information and direction. Shauni totally did that. She was a great listener, made some suggestions (we cut bangs instead of a side fringe because she pointed out it would get a bit flippy with my glasses - observant!!) and was a confident, efficient stylist. The hair wash chairs were the most comfortable I think I've ever been in. The salon was helpful and friendly, and there was a down-to-business attitude that I really like - I was in and out within about 45 minutes. I love my new haircut, and I'll be going back to her again when it's time to get it cut again!

This would have been 5 stars except for my experience with one stylist. My usual stylist wasn't…read moreavailable. The one recommended seemed competent, but I found his attitude extremely arrogant and snobby. He doesn't really care about what you want, or your lifestyle. He doesn't care whether or not you will be able to style your hair at home following his work. He doesn't care about the issues you're having with hair loss, etc, but know that if you talk about this, he will push you to spend a fortune on very expensive store products that make no difference at all. He is very arrogant and seems to think his skills are over and above. You will look runway-ready when he's done with your hair, but unless you're a stylist yourself, you will likely not be able to duplicate the look at home, in fact, you will struggle with it every day. If I return to this salon, I will 100% avoid this stylist.

If you've curly hair, straight away go to Kimberly at Hedkandi 8th Street. I found Kimberly…read morethrough Instagram and have been followed her for few months to get a feel of her style and I was impressed. The variety of clients and styling she does is amazing. I decided to try her out for my haircut this summer. I had a slight idea of what I wanted and she asked me the right questions to get further understanding of my needs. She is so friendly and the entire experience was so relaxing. With curly hair, you really need a stylist who can educate you on how your curls behave and what cut will enhance the volume or reduce it, how to style them at home , etc. Kim educated me on all of that and recommended some great products to try. That's it! After that awesome experience I decided to trust her for coloring my virgin hair!!! It was a huge step for me, and yesterday after spending 3 hours cutting and coloring my hair, I can say hands down this has been the best my hair has looked in years! She walked me through the pricing, the process of painting my virgin hair, what kind of placement and tone we could achieve etc. She had asked me to create a pinterest board at the time when I booked my appointment, so I had been saving all the looks I liked. That helped her a lot in knowing exactly what I wanted. I love love my new hair painting and fresh cut. Kim and Kenzie (her assistant) made sure I was comfortable with the process and answered any silly questions I had. I was super nervous but these girls made sure I was aware of everything happening. I love this team, they are well-coordinated. Everyone at Hedkandi has always been so nice and amazing! Hands down the best place to go with your curly hair.

They always call to confirm appointments a few days before your scheduled appointment which I really enjoy because when my schedule fluctuates it gives me an opportunity to reschedule. So far all the staff I've dealt with have been friendly and personable and I haven't had any unpleasant experiences, overall I would definitely recommend stopping by and giving this place a try!

Pure Form rescued me from a hair emergency and I am so grateful!…read more My friend and I were bridesmaids in a wedding on July 1. She booked us an appointment with her regular stylist (not from Pure Form) for up-dos more than 2 months in advance because we knew it would be hard to get someone on a long weekend Sunday. The plan was to go to the stylist's house because her salon wasn't going to be open on July 1, and we could save a bit of money. It all sounded perfect, until the stylist cancelled on us the day before our appointment!!! After phoning a few mall salons and finding out they didn't open until 11 or 12 am, my friend tried Pure Form, a salon that she used to go to but hadn't been in over a year. The receptionist remembered her and was very sympathetic to our situation. She asked around the salon and luckily a stylist volunteered to come in on her day off. We arrived at the salon and met Lindsay at 8 am on Sunday morning because we needed to be out of there by 10 am for wedding stuff. She was in a great mood and very friendly, especially considering the time :) Lindsay listened to what we wanted and encouraged us to speak up if the style was going somewhere we did not want it to go. She did an amazing job and we both left feeling fantastic. The styles stayed put for over 16 hours, through photos in the heat and lots of dancing. My boyfriend liked my hair style so much, he suggested I do it like that every day. Yeah right - I can barely pull off a pony tail on my own...

This is the most amazing hairstylist in the city and especially if you have Asian hair. I feel like I am with a New York stylist.. Raymond is so attention filled, he explains everythign he does and I always leave looking like i have lost 20 pounds because the hair shape he has choosen on me suits my whole persona. He is reasonable too and right in the heart of Chinatown... parking is a B&^%$# however but well worth it... 500 stars if I could Hair city is where I wanna live!

In general Calgary is lack of good Asian hair stylists compare to Vancouver, so I was happy that Raymond handled my hair fairly well. However, I started to get fed up with this place because even if you made an appointment, you still have to wait at least half hour for the hair stylist to come to you, then half way, he will be going to another person, and then you have to wait for him to come back to finish the job. In average, it takes me 2 hours to complete a simple hair cut from the time I walked in on time for my appointment. This has never happened in any other places I've been to. Also, although Raymond is a good hairstylist, when it's really busy, he got distracted, stressed and so he didn't do as a good job as he could. My last hair cut was horrible, I spent 2 and half hours there just got a few hair trimmed. I could have done that myself at home! Anyways, I am going to try some other places. It's just not worth the wait unless you really have tons of time.
