Lindsay, the owner of this cute little salon, has been my stylist off and on (whenever I am in New…read moreBrunswick) for over 10 years. It's fantastic to see her rocking her own business, and managing to stay afloat even through COVID restrictions. When I saw Lindsay recently, it had been close to a year since my last trim (thanks, COVID). She made it a thoroughly enjoyable experience, still taking the time to do a full head massage while washing my hair, and then applying a hot, steaming towel to set in the conditioning treatment - I've never had that done before! I was extremely happy with my haircut - she chopped off exactly 6" in exactly the way I asked, and made me feel like a glam queen. I can always count on Lindsay to aptly decipher my hair needs and give me precisely what I hope for going in. I didn't even have to show her a photo of a similar hairstyle - she just knew. She's super flexible with booking appointments, even getting you in sooner if something opens up. I hear from Lindsay that she's very busy these days, and I can understand why! The salon is very conveniently located in central downtown on Queen Street, upstairs away from the bustle of the sidewalk below. Everyone is masked up, the bathroom is the first thing you see when you walk in the door and hand sanitizer is also right inside. There are a nice selection of unique products as well, including locally made beard oils, etc. but never any pressure to purchase anything extra. Also, finally, I have to say, this is the least expensive hair cut I've had in the last several years, so be sure to tip REALLY well!

I came here on Saturday to get my hair done before a formal event…read more I arrived 15 minutes early and checked in at the front desk and they hung up my jacket. The receptionist informed me that my stylist was finishing up with another client and that she'd be a few more minutes. I was greeted by my stylist a few minutes later and she took me in. She asked me how she could help me and I stated I wanted a shampoo blow out, bang trim and curls (I showed a picture of what I wanted). She washed my hair, which was okay but more effort could have been put in. I have had hair washes at other salons and they usually massage your scalp while washing your hair. An area of improvement could be to massage the head slightly and wash the hair located at the back lower bottom of the head. Afterwards she took me back to the hair station and explained some hair products she would put into my hair to make the curls last longer. I was impressed that she took the time to explain each of the products. She blow dried my hair in sections, then gave me the bang trim. She trimmed my bangs to how I wanted and described and I was very happy. On to the curls, she efficiently curled my hair within 20 minutes and did a good job (see attached photo). It was very similar to the curls I showed her in the photo. The curls also lasted the whole night! Overall, I was pretty satisfied with the experience. Some areas of improvement could be to give a slight head massage when washing hair and I felt the staff could be a bit more friendly.

Disappointing interaction indeed

Fine, even though she kept me waiting for 15 mins so clearly being on time isn't a priority. I asked if she could remove the acrylic nails and if she knew of a place that did acrylics in the area (I don't live in this area and really needed a mani for the wedding I'm in on Saturday.) She said "I can fit you in in 3-4 weeks or you could try a strip mall." She removed the acrylics then took me to ring me up. Acrylic removal only. No cutting or shaping my real nails. No cuticle trim. No hand lotion. Nothing. I was charged $51.75!!! I have a pedi scheduled with them tomorrow (which I will be canceling) I would rather cut off my own feet then give them another penny.

Growing up…read morein Fredericton, I've always struggled to find a hair salon that knows how to properly blow-dry and straighten my hair. I decided to give this salon a try and specifically asked the receptionist before booking if there was anyone experienced with my hair type. She assured me that all their stylists could work with any hair type, which gave me confidence to proceed. While my stylist was lovely and did her best, I am disappointed with the results. When I ask if a stylist is experienced with my hair, it's because there's a specific technique required to properly straighten 3/4 hair--it's not the same as working with straight or wavy hair (types 1 and 2). Unfortunately, my hair ended up fluffy and didn't stay straight for long, likely because these techniques weren't applied. That said, I do appreciate my stylist's effort and her willingness to take feedback throughout our session, even if the results weren't what I had hoped for. I paid approximately $80 for a wash, hydrating treatment, and straightening with blow-drying and iron. I was told the service was $50 plus $15 for the treatment, but the additional charges were NOT discussed with me. Including the time tip, I ended up paying nearly $100 for a very disappointing service that was not all-inclusive as I had expected. They had assured me that all their stylists were capable of handling my hair type, but this was not reflected in the service I received. I have an event tonight, which is why I wanted to get my hair done, but now I have to redo my entire hair myself.
