Flaunt Boutique - Hair Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

One of the worst haircut experience of my life, given my predicament. I picked Flaunt because they open on Sundays and I had a wedding to go to. I thought it would be a treat to get a trim and style for the wedding, but what I ended up with was just a bad experience that caused me to be late to said wedding. I told the person booking the appointment that I wanted a trim and style for a wedding that I was attending. I got a junior stylist that got water in my ear (definitely a bad sign) and this is especially bad since I have swimmer's ear and water in my ear equates to an ear infection. The trim was basic and when I showed her some styles that I wanted, she said they were not doable due to my short hair. She then proceeded to curl my hair and pinned the curls randomly... it looked horrible. I paid and ran out of there asap. The trim and hairstyle took over and hour and I was late to the wedding AND had frizzy hair. This did not bode well for my evening that just continued to go downhill from there. read more

Hallelujah!!! I have found a stylist with whom I can form a committed relationship. I am tempted to buy a dress and throw a party with cake.... for serious... this took a long time. Flaunt is for most (overly westside oriented) Torontonians a little out of the way, but holy mother, the place is worth the trek (I actually have a friend in Roncey that does just this). It's an industrial space that offers a great, non-stuffy atmosphere and as one should expect from any stylist, an amazing cut that is what I asked for and grows with me. I love that I can indulge in my perfect version of what a trip to the salon should be: a glass of wine and girl talk, followed by me walking out beautifully tussled and ready for whatever the city has in store for me. It's therapy on so many levels... affordable therapy! Ditch your overpriced Yorkville snobfest and try my girl Kay on:) read more

I have a new favourite salon! I've been searching for a new salon for a while, and after a few OK experiences with group buy website coupons and seemingly pricey, yet mediocre salons, I was ready to pay a bit more to get a good haircut. My hair is very temperamental, it's fine and prone to breakage, so I cannot overestimate the importance of a hair stylist that knows how to cut and style it properly. I made an appointment with Kay at Flaunt after much consideration and I am happy to say I'm sold on the salon. It's a very trendy place, which may scare away some people who are looking for a simple experience, but look beyond it because it will be worth your money. When I walked in, I was promptly greeted by the girl at the counter. She offered to take my jacket and then proceeded to ask me if I wanted water, coffee, tea or wine! I was so surprised that I didn't take advantage of the wine offer. Next time! I waited only about 5 minutes to be approached by Kay. Very friendly, easy to talk to girl, with a passion for art in many forms. I usually don't talk to my hair stylists but I spent the entire time she was cutting my hair talking to her. She asked me what haircut I wanted and after I explained it to her, she gave me her own opinion and suggested a style she thought would work for my hair. It was very nice to hear because far too often stylists go with what you ask for and don't question it and you end up with a less than perfect hairstyle. The haircut itself took a very short time (in total, I was there about 30 min., that's including the wait and blow drying), and Kay did an amazing job! Not only did she do exactly what she promised - gave my hair some layers, cut it exactly to the length that I wanted (no more telling the stylist to cut my hair an inch longer just so I can get the length I actually want) and it looked amazing! I'm still doing a little happy dance every time I end up in front of a mirror because I love my haircut. The best thing is (and that to me is a sign of a good haircut), I can let it dry naturally and it still looks great! Low effort, high satisfaction. I would recommend the salon. Bear with the trendiness, drink your complimentary wine and get the haircut you deserve. It's worth the money, and it's cheaper than some lower quality, pricier salons. read more

My hair cut appointment was set for 12 Noon... I finally sat in the chair for the cut around 12:45. Waiting 45 minutes is not cool. Not sure if the stylist was slow, or overbooked, or was just running late. Either way, I was planning on leaving the place by 12:45 so that I could get my kids to the dentist appointment. (Which I was subsequently late for by 15 minutes... domino effect!) The place is nice though. Well decorated. Staff all seemed friendly. Shampoo girl was really nice and the receptionist was nice too. Music / ambiance was good. I was in such a rush I really didn't have time to really look at the haircut. Had to go to my local salon to get it touched up the next day as there was some noticeable differences between the right and left side of my head :-) I probably will not be back. read more

I have been at Flaunt Boutique for over a year now, I have gotten great haircuts and recently great dye job. The studio is easy to get to, the inside is very warm and welcoming and has this cool industrial feel and look to it. It's like...a mix of industrial chic. The receptionist are always kind and offer to take your coat right away. They then always ask if you want something to drink (coffee, tea, water...) while you wait (I usually get there 10-15 min early). My favourite stylist is Laura! Perhaps because she was the first person I saw there, but I have always been very happy with the way she cuts and dyes my hair. I have had to sit with other stylist as well whom were very very competent and skilled while Laura was on holidays. When you first sit in the chair, it is very important for them to learn more about you, and what your vision of your new hairdo. It's usually a good 5-10 min talk to make sure that they recreate what you want. They give really useful tips and great advice to how to shape hair, etc. I hope this review helps someone who is debating to try the salon or not! Very friendly environment and talented staff! :) read more

OMG! amazing. i had an appointment with Adriana today. i'm so glad i waited a month for an appointment with her, coz it was totally worth it. i showed her a pic, asked her opinion, she concurred and voila! my makeover was done. she makes it look so effortless, but the precision of her cut shows her true genuis. i have never been one of those "i only trust xxx with my hair", but i just got converted. Not using any other salon from now on. read more

I come to Flaunt on a regular basis (every two weeks) and they never seem to fail. From the front desk service by Amanda and the reminder calls by Mitchell. Andrea is my stylist and she rocks it every time. She comes up with creative looks and gives me her recommendations on new trends and styles. I would recommend Flaunt as it gives you a piece of flare to your dull life. read more

Flaunt Boutique - Modern art and look at those awards! - Hair Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

See all

Flaunt is my new salon. In December I needed help with my trashy blonde roots and shaggy cut that was becoming mullet-esque as it grew out. I couldn't get an appointment with my regular salon (who I felt were overcharging me anyway), so I tried Flaunt. Since Dec I've been back once for colour. Jehn was my colourist/stylist and both times she did a fantastic job. She's super attentive and really works with you to give you what you ask for. Also, she's sweet and chatty, but doesn't do that forced hairstylist chit-chat that is requisite in other salons. Good atmosphere, music and all-round friendliness abounds at Flaunt too. Recommended. read more

Just visited this salon today - I've been bouncing around salons in the area a little since I moved here. First I want to say that I have "easy" hair and am usually pretty happy with my haircuts. The receptionist was a very sweet guy who made me feel instantly welcomed, which is an impressive feat at such a trendy salon. This continued when I met my hairdresser, who was also friendly and made me feel at ease. We talked about my hair plans a little and she was very thorough. Actually, she was thorough the whole way through, asking what my preferences were each step of the way and telling me about what she was doing and the products she was using. I'm planning on growing out a pixie cut and she made it sound like it would be something fun and exciting rather than something I'd have to put up with for a year or so. So far, this has been true: I am happy with the haircut I got and plan on going back. read more

As others have said, finding a new salon can be traumatic and do not trust easily as it is. When I booked the appointment the gentle was great about asking me what I was looking for and helping choose the right stylist for me. When I met Jehn I liked her right away and loved that she listened and asked great questions. We started working on a plan for my hair for the next few months that would transition me smoothly. I loved the results of the colour and partial highlights - can't wait for next time when I get a fabulous cut. While the colour was setting, I had some time with Tamara, their esthetician. She was adorable, bright, and really new what she was doing. My brows have never looked this good. The salon charges more than I am used to, but the value is there and I will do it again. read more

The first time I went to this place, I loved it. Ivan gave me an amazing cut. Walked out feeling like a new person. Couldn't wait to go back for a followup. I was a couple of weeks later than the 8 weeks I usually do it so my hair had grown out quite a bit. I basically told him I wanted the same thing as last time and Im not sure who he thought I was but the cut was nothing like the last time. It was so boring. Its way too expensive to walk out with boring hair. Kind of turned me off and I've made my way back to Fiorio on cumberland. read more

I booked an appointment for a balayage treatment here because of all the good reviews on Yelp and I was really excited to get my hair done here as I've wanted balayage for some time but needed experts to do it. I was booked in for balayage with Tina. After showing her a few pictures of what I wanted, unfortunately my result was not what I wanted at all... I went home, and it looked like I had subtle highlights, and barely anyone noticed a change, and I paid over $100 for this, so obviously I was disappointed. I booked a meeting Tina a few days later, and asked her if she can help me out with it and re-do it, or do something about it, but she said there is nothing I can do. I was disappointed, however I decided to try again a few days later and this time talk to a manager - Amanda. She told me to come in a few days later and booked me with another lady by the name of Maggie who is a L'oreal professional colourist. Maggie was amazing! She changed my hair into what I wanted, and into actual balayage. I just had to pay a difference of $25, which was not bad. Both Amanda and Maggie were really nice and helped make my bad experience into a good one. I think I will be going back to Maggie if I ever need to color my hair. P.S. - Love, love that they serve you tea, coffee or wine while you wait! Don't be afraid to ask for more. After all, colouring your hair takes a while. If you're going to come here, it really depends on who you book with, so make sure to read everyone's reviews and go from there. read more

My experience here was truly amazing .. Xiao was a delight to work with and really talented in what she does. She is a perfectionist and made my experience worthwhile. I highly recommend this place. read more

I was in the market for a new hair salon and stumbled across the somewhat secluded Flaunt Boutique (located on Carlaw, just north of Queen), which is super close to home, so I bit the bullet and made an appointment. Upon walking into Flaunt, I felt at ease - the people were super friendly, and the salon had a great, chill vibe. Flaunt is going for a loungey atmosphere and it totally works. They are also willing to accommodate their clients' schedules, which is a nice little perk. I had the pleasure of having Manny cut & style my hair. The initial consult was great, he listened to what I liked & didn't like about my hair, then showed me some pics of what he was thinking of doing...so far so good. The wash & scalp massage was lovely and I was pretty much hooked....by the time we got to the cut & finished product, I was really excited. I was also really impressed with how Manny showed me some of the styling techniques, so I can attempt to do it myself :) Manny did a fabulous job and I think I may have just found a new salon & stylist! Yay! Women's cuts range between $50 & $85. read more

I went in to get a simple colour change , from brown to blonde , an ended up with highlights which i had to pay for , I went back when the manager was there and he " fixed it by putting more highlights into it. 3 days later my hair went green ,I lost $300. I am so frustrated. DO NOT GO THERE ! read more

Flaunt is my new favourite in Toronto! The staff were super friendly, it had a great atmosphere, and I was given a delicious latte. I had my hair cut by Kelsie, who I genuinely enjoyed talking to! She was very funny and attentive to my hair needs. I don't ask for a lot, but most hair stylists end up messing up anyway. Its a few months later and my hair still looks great! I will definitely be back soon. read more

Had my hair styled here two months ago from Adriana. I am still getting compliments on this cut. I can't wait until I'm back in town so I can go back!! read more

I stopped by this uber-hip locale on my way to the climbing gym one evening and booked a haircut. I was in need of a trim, the vibe was cool and reviews great. Several years later this is still my go-to. Laura is awesome. I'm adding myself to the list of Yelpers who are totally in love with this place. read more

Had my hair highlighted and balayaged with Kelsie - she was amazing! Listened to what I wanted but also gave realistic expectations and advice on what she thinks would work best, which is exactly what I want from someone who should be an expert at what they do. She walked me through the entire process and the end results were great. Although she ran a bit behind, and was unable to complete my blowout, she handed me over to Xiao who gave me the best blowout I've ever had..seriously I didn't want to wash my hair knowing I wouldn't be able to ever get those same results myself. Customer service was overall great, with the multiple offers of a beverage including wine! I will definitely be back! read more

2 weeks before a friend's wedding, I decide that my shoulder length, grown out bob needed a long overdue overhaul. I hadn't cut or coloured my hair in almost a year and I knew I definitely wanted something edgy and fresh. I normally go to a salon located close to my work whenever I need a sharp new cut...but my stylist there doesn't do colour...and since I had a fair bit of black left in the ends of my hair, I knew I would need to find a stylist who had experience with lifting colour but who could also do an amazing cut. I researched a bit and found Flaunt on the toronto life list of recommended salons as well as on yelp. The receptionist asked all of the right questions over the phone and booked me an appt with a Sr. Stylist, Adriana. From the moment I arrived, it was a good experience. Reception greeted me right away and when he needed to answer the phone, one of the other team members came forward and offered, coffee, tea, water or a glass of wine. (Nice!) Adriana put me in the chair almost immediately after I had arrived and took the time listen to my concerns and what I wanted my hair to be down the road. She made sure I had a realistic attitude towards my ideas and explained BEFORE she started that if I wanted the colour lifted, that we wouldn't be able to go all the way platinum on the ends and that I would need lose some length to get the colouring to look right. i was flexible in anything she could do to make me look better.... We did about 4 processes on my colour between removing colour, bleaching the platinum peekaboo highlights that I wanted and then toning my natural colour so that it wasn't brassy from the processing. Adriana had me in the chair for almost 4 hours! And not once did she make me feel like I was being rushed or cutting in on her other appointments...(which I kind of was). She was even patient with me when she was finally finished and I asked her to take another snip to my bangs to texture them a little more. While I am pretty frugal and only sit in a salon chair once every 6 months or so It was a great experience and well worth the money spent. I will definitely be going back Flaunt to continue on with our plan for my hair. read more

I've been going Kelsie for my last two haircuts and have loved the experience. She is very thoughtful about delivering a stylish and good looking haircut that meets my lifestyle (easy to maintain and infrequent visits). I love the space and the drinks are a definite plus. It's become my go-to haircutting location (somehow the word salon does not feel very manly =P) in the 'hood. read more

This place was simply one of the best hair salons I've been to. Having many, many (which is an understatement) bad experiences with hair dressers, I was pleasantly surprised with the level of service, style and most importantly, the price. I had a blow out done with a glass of wine in hand and it was the perfect start to a very eventful day - all for $40! read more

Kelsie is a star! I had chemical damage from a bad highlight experience and over a year Kelsie helped get my hair back to heathy! She gave me realistic expectations about what we could do considering the damage my hair endured, was very knowledgable about what products could help and cut my hair in a way that managed the breakage. I'm so impressed by her and would highly recommend her! read more

My birthday was coming up and, after a few years of colouring at home, needed my hair brought back to life and a fresh new colour. I called and had the most delightful conversation with Jennifer in which she took the time to walk me through what I could expect for my appointment, which she was able to get for me on extremely short notice. When I came in for my appointment I received the warmest welcome, was offered refreshments (water, tea, coffee, wine) and waited only a couple minutes before my stylist, Xiao, came to greet me. I showed her pictures of what I wanted. What I wanted wasn't doable because of the state of my hair and the upkeep it would require, but she made fantastic recommendations to get me something close. As she styled, she took them time to find out more about my schedule, care routine n hair history, offering advice and tips to ensure I could keep my new colour looking great. I thought it would be an all day affair and was prepared to settle in but in just a couple short hours she had finished and the big reveal couldn't have been more amazing! It was better than any of the pictures I had and my hair felt completely revitalized. I've gotten endless compliments since then and love my new colour. I'm so happy to have found Flaunt! read more

I went to Flaunt last week. Firstly, I would like to say that they reply to emails very fast! We also managed to get my mom a mani and pedi! I had Kelsie as my stylist. We had a nice chat while she was doing my hair, and in the end, I was very satisfied with the final product. My mom was happy with her nails too. The place itself has couches and has a chill vibe to it. They also have hair products on their walls for you to buy. The stylist can also give you recommendations for what to use on your hair. Overall, very nice experience! :D read more

After reading the reviews about Kay, I had to give her a try and honestly I am SO glad I did! I am totally sticking with her. Kay is a fabulous stylist and colourist!! Not to mention her little tricks of the trade to make my oh so thinning hair (due to meds and such) look full again! Not only is she great at the cut and colour, but she also provided great product tips and tips to save you money while buying quality hair care products. She is such a awesome person and interesting conversation came very natural with her- wasn't the forced-blah, blah. She's very true to herself and that made her even more of a cool person! Thanks Kay!! I'll see you soon!! read more

I got highlights done by Xiao, I would recommend this stylist. She's knowledgeable and gave me several options on what I should do with my hair. I opted for the rough dry since I was in a rush; however, I felt like my hair still had a slight smell of dye when I got home. Otherwise the salon is roomy and fabulous. They offer beverages like wine and coffee while your hair is being worked on. Cost was very reasonable. read more

I've been coming here for all my hair and waxing appointments for the last 6 years. Kay and Tamara are two key people in my life who have shaped my hair, eyebrows (and other areas) like no other. Because of my pixie hair style, I'm here every 5 weeks and each time I come, it's like walking in to meet friends. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. Amanda works the front desk and she's super sweet. She multi-tasks between signing you in, signing others in, hanging up your coat, answering phone calls, checking out customers, all the while getting you your drink. Everyone here is truly a gem. read more

I was here last week (or the week before). Manny was my stylist too! He's awesome. I now have these super cute bangs. Thanks Manny!

Flaunt boutique has a chic and relaxed atmosphere. The venue itself is really nice, and little things such as the many perfume bottles lining the bathroom countertop, the towel service, etc add to the positive experience. When you arrive you are also offered a variety of drinks for while you wait. As for the stylists, I have only ever had Laura, and I love how she cuts my hair. She consults with you first and explains what she wants to do and why (in line with and after you explain what you want), so there are no surprises while she's cutting. She does a fantastic job of cutting the hair in a way that complements your features. All in all, this place is great! read more

I was at the flaunt boutique for the first time in June. I had the most enjoyable experience. The sales lady was exceptional. Can't wait to return. Highly recommended read more

With my usual stylist on maternity leave, I thought I would try out another salon. I'm pretty easy going when it comes to my hair. I like almost every cut I get. I was sure I'd love Flaunt. It looked like a fun/hip little spot and the stylists were all sporting ink and funky hair colours. This was all a plus in my book....but the positives pretty much end there. When I arrived at the salon and sat in the waiting area for my appointment all I could hear was one stylist going on and on about "bratty kids" that come in and bad mouthing other clients children. The things she said were pretty shocking and if the client knew I'm sure she's never return. So it turns out that this gal is my stylist....great. She does redeem herself by having a pleasant demeanor at first. Polite chit chat and whatnot. Then comes the grumpy attitude bad mouthing other salons. I felt really uncomfortable with all the negativity. I'm quite an upbeat person and it weighed on me. The cut - I was very open to ideas and suggestions. I like anything that looks like a style really. We decided on something very specific and she did the exact opposite of what I asked for. Full out football hair. Not even a bit of the edgy cut I was hoping for . In summary - Flaunt is trying too hard to be this edgy/hip/underground spot . The concept is cool but the experience is pretty dishonest. The stylists (or at least one) come across as harsh and unprofessional. I felt like a bratty high school kid with a chip or two on her shoulder was cutting my hair! The cut is bad. For the first time ever I can say I will not be returning to a salon. See ya Flaunt! * I prefer not to name the stylist in case it was just a grumpy day for her. Hopefully for the salon it was read more

I've had a ton of bad hair cuts in my life so I'm very cautious about trying new places. When my regular stylist closed her business, I decided to try Manny at Flaunt and have been going there since. I've been so happy with the cuts and service. I get compliments on my hair cut months after the cut. read more

I was a longtime client but won't go back...waited over 45 mins from the scheduled appointment time. A really weak apology followed...haircut was good (as usual) but the lack of respect for my time was completely unacceptable. read more

Oh well, i got really surprised to get what I've got after all the reviews I read about this place. The welcoming part was nice, and the master was nice and friendly also, but unfortunately the haircut itself didn't meet my expectations at all. The most important thing that at the salon my haircut looked fine even though I didn't have "the wow" feeling. You know, the feeling when you are so happy with your new haircut and you checking every single mirror, window and mirrored surface. It was an OK haircut so far. But after I got home, I washed my hair and I tried to style them.. God..that s when I realized that it was just awful. It seemed like it was just chopped bluntly and rough, the back was very uneven. I asked for a longbob, so I knew, that on the back it will be an inverted semi-circle, but it looked more, like somebody grabbed my hair from the back and just chopped a chuck off. Also I had some strands that were longer that the whole haircut, as it was just left unnoticed. The haircut was made by Kelsey, I guess it was a mistake to go to the colorist to get a haircut. After all I had to go to another salon to fix my hair. I received a very nice haircut, which looks very nice even if without styling. read more

I highly recommend this salon. Tamara (the esthetician) and Ivan are simply two magicians. Tamara has very gentle hands and her manicure is the best one I have ever had. She is a perfectionist. Ivan is a true artist, he will transform you into a different person right in front of your eyes. If you let him, he will take you out of your limits of what you thought can be done with your hair. The atmosphere is very cool and everyone is super friendly. A+! read more

Never actually went to the Salon. Mens cuts vary depending on the stylist from $25 - $60....

So after many times having hair cut with Kay , I noticed a pattern in how successful the cut will be. Book her for early hours at the beginning of the day. You will get good results. read more
