I've been here twice both times seeing a stylist named Amanda. The first time I got a really nice…read morecut. The second time, I did a double take a few days later when I was styling my hair. I noticed that one side of my hair was significantly shorter than the other. I pulled the left side down and it came way past my chin. Then I pulled the hair down on the right side and it barely reached my chin. Most stylists take your hair and pull it down towards your chin to make sure both sides are even length. My hair was totally not even. I remember Amanda taking her scissors after my hair was dried and lifting a bunch up here and there and snipping what I thought was chunks out here and there. Quite odd. My haircut is lopsided thank you very much Amanda. I'm not sure if I'll go back again. For the price I paid, I expected a more even cut not one that looks like one side got hacked.

Been going here for 6 years now and very satisfied. Complimentary drinks of Italian soda and spring water too. Hair stylist are very friendly and lots of room to sit and wait too.

Never leave a salon with wet hair. I thought it looked ok but upon inspection after it dried, my…read morehair looks like a 50$ wig i over paid for. The colour is all over the place. I understand the concept of highlights but this... my strands are all SEVERAL different colours from root to tip. I dont know how im going to fix this. Ive been so happy with my hair for years and now im basically in tears. My hair is ony of my most treasured features and now i think ill have to just get it completely corrected. Staff were lovely but for what i got i was incredibly over charged. If you plan to spend 300+ on what essentially equated to highlight and toner go somewhere else. I am really unhappy with the results. My hair is a multicolored frizzy mess. Im from out of town but i would not return if i were local.

"I've been a client of Wissam for over twenty years now, and I have to say that I couldn't be happier. My hair is always one of the first things that people ask me about and it's all because of Wissam . Whether it's a drastic cut, or a trim, I always leave the salon with a quality style that always turns out better than I even ask him for." Over the years I have lived all across Canada and will fly to Calgary to get Wissam to cut my hair. The cut is always amazing and is easy to style and falls into place perfectly. I've tried other salons and it's just not the same. I highly recommend Wissam he is one of the best stylists in Canada !

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.

OMG, talk about everyone walking in the a salon and then walking out looking like a celebrity…read more Again one of my personal haunts that I didnt want to yelp in fear that I wouldnt be able to get an appointment with Raymond in the future..... 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!

I want to write an updated review as I see the reviews that are posted here are too old. I've been…read moregoing to Raymond since I moved to Calgary from Vancouver in 2012. 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.

Late December I made the mistake of walking into a mall salon (which I should have looked up on…read moreYelp before hand). I had a colour and cut and was not impressed with the cut and the colour was mediocre (I probably could've done a better job at home). I happened to see the boys of Jami Symons Salon do a hair show early January and was amazed. I called their salon and was able to get in within in hour - this was a sign! I was more than thrilled to be able to get an evening appointment as well. I lucked out and had Jason as a stylist. He took the time to sit down and discuss my thoughts and goals with my hair. I had been in and out of terrible haircuts for just over a year and had what I liked to refer to as a "mop" going on (thanks to my naturally pin straight, fine hair). I've always known I looked much better with short hair but needed that extra boost from a stylist. Jason gave me an AMAZING asymmetrical bob. The cut, style, atmosphere and personality was worth every penny. Also their ORIBE products smell AMAZING and make your hair feel like silk. After seeing most of their work, I would hands down recommend the stylists at Jami Symons to anyone.

After about a year the colorist left and Trina began to both colour and cut and style my hair. For the first time in my life, I had found someone who understood curly hair, how to cut it and shape it for my face and who left me feeling like a million bucks. I have also found that because of the expertise and the continual learning that the stylists embark on, it has ended up saving me money as I do not have to cut my hair as frequently. I have not had a single bad hair cut. Not one! The new trainees take care of you and as another reviewer said, the head massages are divine. The front end staff (Especially Andrew!) are skilled and just the right amount of friendly. If you are looking for new home for all things wonderful for your hair, call them up, tell them what you are looking for, and book a consult with one of the amazing stylists. I promise, you won't be disappointed.
