I'm so happy to have found Lauren at Fox and Jane. I hadn't had my hair done in quite some time, and I was a little nervous as I went to the appointment without knowing exactly what I wanted. Lauren was patient and worked with me to find a suitable style. Throughout the appointment, she took the time to educate me about her process and my hair needs. Lauren is highly skilled, friendly and informative. The workspace is beautiful, clean, bright, and pleasurable. The rest of the staff seem very friendly as well. I am looking forward to visiting again for my future hair needs. read more

I had a haircut by Fernando. I spent $120.00 and left with 5 strands cut and looking exactly the same. Not worth it. Whoever wrote a master at transformative cuts was clearly lying. Nice guy but wow... did I get ripped off .... read more

I had a blonde balayage (level 8) that I they recommended I get toned for a refresh. But instead, it was darkened to a brassy, irreversible medium brown. The result is so overly warm, it looks dark orange. I was told it would just be a toner and would wash out, but that hasn't happened. Instead of a refreshed balayage, my hair now looks completely different--darker, dull, and way overly brassy. This is not what I asked for, and it has ruined the dimensional color I had. I look sickly with this orange hair and the only option I have is either to bleach my hair again and damage it or darken it to a dark brown with no dimension. Either way I'll be waiting months to a year to start over and get the look I've been working towards. With this, they are not apologetic and don't take accountability. Don't go here!! read more

Have been a couple of times now. The first time my hair was cut by Kyle. Great haircut but he wasn't available the next time I needed a cut. Was going away and needed a cut before leaving. Shiva was available so was able to get my hair cut by her. Great cut. Loved it. Super easy to maintain. read more

I found SHIVA formerly of 'Fiorio in the Beach'. She's a talented colourist who now works at The Fox & Jane. If you've got the January blahs go see her. She listens Colouring your hair can be fraught with anxiety. She may suggest something you've never thought of or ever thought would work for you. Shiva is professional and personable. I've been her client for a few years. I am happy to recommend her. read more

Fox & Jane Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I went to this place for a haircut, I wanted a traditional bob, I showed them photos and they told me there was no problem. Amber mutilated my hair. When I informed the manager that my hair was ruined, she told me not to cut it anymore. She told me to leave or Amber would finish the cut. Tears of despair and despair came out of my eyes. My hair was completely ruined. I waited a week until someone could cut it even more, my hair was half 4 cm long, how could they cut it more, it's the worst place I've ever been to, don't ever go, my confidence is on the floor and my self-esteem is down while they were laughing at me. read more

I had a really negative experience at this salon. I booked with Renee who I hoped could do a colour correction on my hair. I've never paid this much for a hair dye job in my life, and I was disappointed in both the results and the service. By the time I contacted the salon owner, I was not willing to go back to the salon and was hoping for a partial refund as a resolution but the salon owner was not helpful. The details: I wanted to go from an uneven ombre style to a silver hair colour. I spoke about this in detail with my stylist Renee who kept emphasizing the number of hours required for the transformation and the hourly rate (which was $100/hr). By the time I was in the chair for the appointment, Renee confirmed multiple times the look that I was going for. I said silver, okay with it being a darker gunmetal silver... I got a dark ash brown colour with highlights. While it was a professional hair transformation, it wasn't what I requested for. I was hoping after a few washes that it would lighten to a dark gunmetal silver, but it did not. Hair colour transformations can be difficult and expectations can be misaligned, which I understand. The one-star review is mostly for the awful service that I received. The stylist dropped the comb multiple times, flinging it around unprofessionally and got hair dye on my hands. When she washed my hair she got water in my ears and berated me for not being able to get my shoulder aligned to the chair (but this is because I'm short). My stylist was stand-offish the entire time and even yelled at another stylist for changing the radio station. The working environment seemed very toxic. I wanted to record the experience for my online blog, which my stylist agreed to initially. My recording phone was visible the whole time and she even actively participated in the video. She later decided she was uncomfortable with this, and instead of just asking me to turn off the camera, she threw a full-on 20-minute temper tantrum in the salon in front of other hairstylists and customers. None of the other hairstylists said anything about this, as if it's normal behaviour. I was mortified and wanted to leave immediately. After yelling at me, the stylist came back and apologized to me profusely. I still wanted to leave, but I was left with wet hair in the sink. I would never ever come back here. read more

Today was the first time I've gotten my hair done in over 10 years, and I was not disappointed! Carol was awesome, she listened to what I wanted and let me know everything she had planned for my hair. I have dead straight fine hair and she showed me how to style it properly to actually hold a curl!! I will definitely be back! Thank you Carol! read more

Fox & Jane Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I had a terrible experience at this salon. I found this salon off of Google, and given the great reviews, I thought I'd be in good hands. Initially I had booked an appointment with Shiva, and took off a vacation day in order to attend the appointment. Not even 48 hours notice I get a text message letting me know Shiva will not be coming in, and that a stylist name Kyle could accommodate my appointment. I came to this salon as a full blonde, and during my consultation I showed many photos of what I was looking to achieve (you can see in my photo what I had shown), which was to darken the blonde, while still having some warm blonde highlights throughout. He felt confident that it was doable, and showed me the toner (which is going over blonde highlights, and assumed that was the colour he was going to use for the low lights). He then gave me a waiver, which I felt was a red flag, basically saying they are not liable if they damage/mess up your hair, and you have to pay regardless. During the actual appointment, the stylist kept talking about his previous job, and how his boss would negatively comment on his clients photos regarding his work, and half way through the appointment he says out loud "I change my mind about the toner" and runs to the back, didn't show me what he changed, and at that point I started feeling like he didn't know what he was doing. As it was time to put the toner in, he left it in for 20 minutes. At other salons, they leave the toner in for max 5-10 minutes, while checking up on it frequently. He disappeared in the back for 20 min without really checking on how dark the colour was getting. When I see my hair, it was so tangled because he backcombed the highlights, and it was a solid ashy dark brown with not one blonde highlight to be seen (you can see the fine grey highlights in my photo). I started addressing my concerns, and then he then points the finger at me saying I signed off on the toner and this is what I asked for (even though he sporadically changed the toner without telling me what he changed). I showed multiple photos and have never experienced such a big mess up/miscommunication at any salon i've been to in Toronto. The colour wasn't even remotely close to what I asked for. I look to the stylist to know what to do when it comes to the colour I wanted. He then panics and puts some treatment in my hair to try and lift the colour, and then hides in the back while i'm sitting there for 20 min having a mental breakdown and on the verge of tears. The manager and other stylists saw and walked by me several times and chose to ignore me. Finally the manager comes to talk to me after 20 min, while I've been abandoned by their stylist. She basically told me the only option is for me to pay (no discount) because I signed a waiver and to come back a few days later and have the same guy who messed up my hair try and fix it. After this whole situation there was no way I was going back to him after this whole ordeal. At this point I just wanted to leave immediately. After I was charged full price with dripping wet hair which I probably paid for the blow dry, the manager says "skip over the tip part" which basically tells me she acknowledged that he messed up big time on my hair. She also told me to "dm her on instagram" if I had any questions, why not give me your card or personal cell phone, that's not the best way to treat a new client, that you messed up her hair. After I got home, luckily I was able to get a last min appointment at Lone & Co (shout out to George for fixing this mess on my head). I understand sometimes stylists may mess up from time to time, but the way that this situation was handled was very unprofessional. Manager should have been involved immediately, and a partial refund would have been appreciated, and giving your client the cold shoulder while my hair was ruined by one of your employees is unacceptable. I will never go back to this salon, and suggest you go somewhere else if you are thinking of going here. $200 flushed down the drain for an inexperienced stylist. read more

Fox & Jane Salon - GREY HIGHLIGHTS THAT SHOULD BE BLONDE! - Hair Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Great cut from here. They did just what I asked for and it's growing in great. Not the cheapest around but a great cut is worth it.

Fantastic! I was a fairly regular user of this salon when it was Fuss, but the new management and team have really turned this place into a gem. Jairo made me look and feel like a million bucks. His attention to detail, constantly checking up on my highlights and his overall wonderful and cheerful personality made my day. He is extremely talented and got my haircut and highlights to look exactly as I had requested. This is indeed very rare and I will definitely be back. read more

Fox & Jane Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

See all

Great feel, fun people, sharp and modern cuts. "Do you do boys? Urr... men. I mean. Hmm. Let me rephrase. "Do you cut men's hair, or only women's?" Rocky start for me, but it got better. Fuss is a funky little Leslieville salon with great music, lots of space, and staff that seem universally skilled, cheery, and awesome. They seem to get along, lots of chatter and a lively atmosphere, especially on weekends. Good in-house product, too. Pro-tip: what? It's a great hair salon. What kind of pro tip can I give you, here? Go get your hair cut there. That's my pro-tip. Okay fine, pro-tip: somewhere, hidden away in the recesses where maybe only the stylists get to go, there is a Boston Terrier puppy and he is exquisite. read more

Fox & Jane Salon - Clean, modern, East End salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The best hair salon experience to date! While all staff were lovely and nice, my personal interaction with Alexis and Niky were inspirational and I cannot recommend them enough. Make sure to plan for your visits to allow for their artistry and creativity. They are exceptional at finding the hair styles that bring out the best in you! read more

Fox & Jane Salon - Cut and colour by Alexis. - Hair Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Wonderful staff here. My stylist Melissa was great and not just she is originally from the Maritimes like me. Relaxed atmosphere and for those of us in the rainbow community very queer positive. read more

I had an amazing experience at Fox & Jane, Toronto. I met with Kristin. We discussed new colour and style option. She was great. Very knowledgable and honest. The atmosphere was very bright and comforting. I will be recommending this place to everyone. I will definitely be back! I am very excited to have this salon experience again!! read more

I had my hair lightened . . . and my clothing? I went in wanting a lighter shade of brown, and ended up with a big orange spot on the back of my navy shirt :( And after a few rounds of phone tag trying to speak to the owner to see what could be done, she simply stopped returning my calls. Friendly at the start, unprofessional in the end. read more

I like Fuss. I've been a client for about two years, and haven't had a bad cut. They take the time to determine the essential equation for great hair: your face shape + cool style + your colouring I have had one mildly disappointing colour experience at Fuss, but I feel like that was an anomaly. I've seen Jenny, Stacey and Michelle, and would recommend Michelle. Totally talented stylist, plus she's from New Zealand - very cool and chatty. Sometimes the wait for an appointment can be a few weeks, so book in advance. And watch the tab as you get your colour, cut, highlights, etc... the last time I got to the register it ran me $225+. Ergh! read more

I love a stylist who isn't afraid to tell me I'm wrong, who can use their hair-cutting powers to not-so-subtly influence me to do what they think I should do rather than what I, in my style ignorance, think I should do. I recently had a cut with Anastasia and she did exactly that - and the cut is fantastic. Exactly what I needed (not what I thought I wanted). Prices are pretty similar to what I'm used to paying elsewhere in Toronto. Booking was incredibly easy - the person I spoke to was both friendly AND helpful. I'm a last minute kind of gal, and often find that this is at odds with my hair whims, since so many places book up in advance. Not so at Fuss. I called on Wednesday and they fit me in on Thursday. Fantastic. The salon itself won my heart immediately with it's funky black and white tile entrance, chandeliers (I'm a sucker), textured wall paper, and lovely wood floors. They had just opened their upper floor when I was there, which appears to have doubled their space. Anastasia set me up with coffee and made sure I was able to sip on it whilst cutting my hair. Thrilled to find a great salon in my new hood. I will definitely be back - and next time I might even make the colour leap that Anastasia suggested. read more

Salon was beautiful, staff were friendly and the price was right... My haircut, on the other hand, looks nothing like the photos I showed my stylist. Luckily it should in about three months. I'd probably give this one a miss unless you're cool with the possibility of leaving with a potentially unexpected look. read more

The second that you walk into Fuss, you can feel the energy. That may sound like a cliche phrase, but I promise that it fits the studio PERFECTLY. Today was my first visit to Fuss, and certainly won't be my last. After hearing rave reviews, and needing my first haircut as a resident of Toronto I decided to go and check it out. As soon as you walk in you're greeted with a smile, amidst the noise of scissors, sinks and chattering conversation. If you're not a conversationalist during your haircut, you definitely will not fully appreciate the people behind the scissors. I walked upstairs into a neat loft area, with just two chairs and a sink room, with next-level sinks which make you feel like you're in a spaceship. Seriously. I didn't take a picture because I was in a spaceship, okay?! It's intimate, funky and feels like you are miles away from everything. Dana is my stylist of choice after one visit. Cheerful, bubbly and a joy to talk to, the 45 minute cut went flying by like nobodies business. After a convoluted, non-technical and probably downright terrible attempt at describing what I was looking for, Dana simply said "Okay, so I think what you want to do is take this from Mad Men style to Boardwalk Empire. Right?" Boom. The girl gets me. Bravo. The cut was great, and quite reasonably priced for the great job and atmosphere. I definitely recommend Fuss to all, but you may have to fight me for a booking or two. It looks like it's tough to get a booking same-day or even next day... especially if you're picky with stylists! read more

It was so easy to book. The receptionist was very kind and helpful -taking my coat and offering me refreshments. The dogs are extremely cute and spiked collar puppy got in my lap and kissed me. Excellent first date! Meghan cut my hair and she made magic. She was sweet, TALENTED, and not chatty. She is very nice and if you're not looking to be too social (I'm quiet) she seems to have good intuition on people's preference. My hair is exactly what I wanted. It is fresh to death. LOVE their gender neutral rates which were surprisingly cheap. I've had ugly cuts for more $ than I paid here. She took me from long, verging on icky hair to short, messy SEX. I love that they are all just rad, talented stylists. I will be back! read more

My friend has being raving about Fuss for the longest time. Let's just say she has gorgeous golden curly hair and she is totally my hair guru. I booked my appointment online and coincidentally got Tracy, the same stylist that does my friends hair. Tracy made me feel super comfortable and I trusted her to do whatever she thought was best with my badly damaged hair. I loved her recommendations for shampoos and how to keep my hair looking healthy. The way Tracy styled my hair made me super flirty and feminine :) always a good feeling. I will definitely come back. read more

I had a wonderful experience at Fuss. I got an appointment on the day and time of my choice, but I also booked two weeks in advance. The waiting time before the appointment was very short (less than 5minutes). Daniel cut my hair and he did an amazing job. He took the time during the consultation in the beginning to make sure we're on the same page and made some suggestions that turned out great! Washing, cutting, drying and styling (simple, as I keep it simple at home too) took about 40 minutes altogether. I was incredibly happy with the result when I walked out and weeks after I still am. I got so many compliments for my hair afterwards, people literally stopped me on the street to compliment it! read more

I got my hair cut here in November before lockdown. Vada cut my hair and she was excellent! She gave me exactly what I was looking for and also provided helpful hair-care tips. In addition to this, I felt very safe while at the salon as they have invested in all the necessary protective measures/procedures (masks, plexiglass, physical distancing, etc). I am hoping that the government allows them to re-open soon!! read more

I started seeing Dana about a year ago. She is nothing short of amazing!! I see her almost every two months (my hair grows at an exponential rate and I have some grey which shows through my dark hair). Her energy is contagious. I honestly look forward to my hair appointment - not just for the transformation - but also because I can totally relax and laugh my butt off when I am there. The salon itself has funky decor...check out the bathroom on the second floor with old playboy magazine articles/ads used as wallpaper. So cool. The prices are what I would expect to pay for a great cut and colour. I have never, ever had a bad cut there and I am picky. I used to dread going for a haircut and now I can't wait. read more

Had my first haircut at Fuss last week - no complaints! Granted, it was just for a simple cut, so no room for scandalous coloring disasters here. However, Tracy managed to tame my lion mane (ok so maybe I don't go for hair cuts very often) into something manageable and thoughtfully personalized. She understood my 'low-fuss' tendencies. Also - evening appointments available! I find this super handy, as I live in the area and can quickly zip over after work. Conversation was fine, and not forced - which can be a real pet peeve of mine. As others have commented on, it's mildly on the pricey side compared to other places of similar quality. But I'm willing to overlook that given the pros. Fuss, you've converted me - I'm booked for regular appointments now. read more

I came here after messing up my hair with a dye job I had done. Bad mistake. I had Trish help me after a great recommendation from someone who said she was amazing. She really was amazing! I have already booked my second appointment with her for maintenance and am so happy to have her as a stylist. She really worked with me in achieving my hair goal. read more

I visited this salon and had a terrible experience. I had gone in for a colour and ended up with a much different look. When I voiced my concern, they refused to provide me with a refund. It was so upsetting. I have had to go elsewhere for a colour correction. read more

This is by far the best that I've received​ in Canada or the US. I am always extremely nervous to have someone new cut my hair. However, Trish eased me quickly. She listened to what I wanted, gave recommendations based on what I said. And overall helped me get a better experience and haircut. I will go back to use Trish for as long as I live in Toronto. read more

Love this salon! Great stylists - I've seen Kristen, Stacey, Martha and Trish. All of them are amazing, friendly, professional and experts at what they do. Relaxed yet trendy atmosphere. Good music and hair products too! Highly recommend. read more

This is the email I sent FUSS yesterday. Sat, January 15, 2011 3:33:52 PM cancellation policy To: info@fusshairstudio.com I went to your salon for the first time several months ago and had a great cut and style by Martha. I was very impressed and glad that I had finally found a local salon that was professional and affordable. I attempted for a week to make another appointment with Martha for this Saturday. No one every seemed to answer and would call back over a day later. By the time we spoke Martha was booked. I mentioned that I had to leave three messages to finally speak to a human. The receptionist laughed and said if I wanted it badly enough Martha was available at 9 a.m. I did not share her mirth. I woke up this morning with a terrible flu and called as soon as I could to cancel the appointment (just after 9 a.m) I had with someone else for this afternoon. I was told there was a 24 hour cancellation policy. Really? I was not told that when I booked. And to add insult to this ridiculous policy I was asked if I wanted to book another appointment and would be charged double for missing today's. Now there is some incentive to rebook. I have a very demanding job and a toddler. I would not have cancelled if I didn't have to but I will now not return as I was completely. insulted by how I was spoken to. I understand that you lose money with last minute cancellations. I also understand that if you are busy there are last minute bookings, especially on a Saturday. Restaurants tried this same policy and it failed. Such self-importance and stringent policies eventually always backfire. You have lost a client for good now and I will be sure to let others know of my experience. read more

Went in here today for a mens cut. Haircut was OK-good, but everything else was well below par. As I was having my haircut, the lady next to me was having her hair blow dried and the excess waff from the hairdryer started blowing my hair (fortunately it was not the other ladies hair) into my eyes / mouth - nothing was done to remedy the situation. Though I didn't make a fuss about it at the time (no pun intended) I was making pretty obvious non verbal signs that I was not having much fun - coughing, squinting, etc. Finished up the cut in about 30 mins which is fine, then walked down stairs and proceeded to wait for what felt like an eternity (but was in reality a solid 5 minutes) for the lady at the cashier to finish serving another client (who was simply paying not booking in for another appointment) - there were two other ladies who ended up behind me also waiting to pay. Would not go back or recommend to others. Not a lot wrong with the stylist though the faint smell of cigarettes when having one's haircut is not appreciated (a tad pricey, but I knew that already). Really need to work on making it a better overall experience for clients especially at those prices - details matter. Also, as a side, the acoustics upstairs are terrible and not very amenable to be able to hold much of a conversation. Should be a relatively easy thing to fix - but should be done sooner rather than later. read more

Having been haunted by a bad, brassy dye job years ago, I swore off hair dye till I saw greys. Fast forward to the present, I had found a few pesky greys and was acutely reminded that life is too short for silly fears. I got a subtle balayage and cut here by Emily and at first it didn't quite hit the mark and I left disappointed, yet again swearing off hair dye. I called the studio and they were kind enough to amend it. Long story short, the second time around was bingo! It's been about two months and I still love my hair. I am really happy to have done this and at such an accommodating salon in the east end! read more

I went in to have my highlights done, and the stylist did a great job. She was also quite lovely to talk to. She asked if I was getting a cut that day as well. I said I hadn't booked it and was actually only looking for a little trim because I'm trying to grow out my layers. At the end of the appointment she spent about five minutes trimming my ends and bangs - just getting rid of the dead ends. When I got to the cash register she charged me for a full hair cut - $60. Also the highlights were $110 - but when I booked my appointment highlights were listed at $90 on their website. In the week between booking and getting to the salon for my appointment they decided to raise their prices by $10. Then she also charged me $10 for toner...also not mentioned. So, I was not planning on spending $220 that day. My fault for not clarifying between the prices of a trim and a full-on haircut, but I would've hoped that after charging me $110 for highlights she would have thrown in the trim - or charged me a lesser rate, maybe $10 or $20 for the trim. Not sure if I will go back. When I questioned the cost they just explained all the breakdowns of the pricing with no apology. I'm happy with my highlights and the place has a great vibe, but I'm not certain if what I got was worth $220 (with tax and tip). read more

I first started seeing Emily at World Salon and followed her to Fuss when she moved to the salon in the fall. I've been a loyal fan of Emily for years because I like to take risks with my hair, and she's always up for doing something different. I like that she keeps up-to-date with the latest hair trends and isn't shy about telling me the looks I can and can't pull off. After wearing a platinum blonde asymmetrical undercut for over a year, we're now trying out a lavender-coloured bob, and I get tons of compliments. read more

super expensive for me to get my hair done, and it looked terrible. the most i've ever paid for my hair, and the worst result i've ever gotten. my hair has been severely damaged ever since! do not go there. read more

I hadn't managed to get myself to a salon in *shudder* years, and my hair was pretty destroyed. Any change would have been a step up for the mess on my head. Except the ladies at Fuss must also be magic, because I'm pretty sure my hair has literally never looked better. Never. And it's been days since the cut. I could not recommend this salon more. I'm never going anywhere else. read more

So this was my first haircut at a more premium salon and I have to say that it was a great experience. I didn't have any idea what I wanted to do with my hair when I came in to see Kristin, but she was very understanding of my specific needs and she took her time to make me comfortable and informed before doing anything to my hair. The haircut itself looks fantastic and she was very open to curling my hair and messing around with it otherwise. Outside of the excellent results, Kristin was fantastic to talk to and answered any questions I had. Oh, and the place is very LGBTQ+ friendly, so don't feel intimidated if you're thinking about going :) read more

Fuss is amazing and Martha is a treat! She has done wonders for my hair. I would recommend Fuss to anyone!

I have been going to Fuss Hair since 2008 and I love it. The staff there is super friendly and they always have a positive vibe happening. My husband gets his hair and beard done by Kristin who does miracles with his beard! I've seen several stylists, most of who have been their for years now and I have never been disappointed with their services. They are also very involved in the Leslieville community, always willing to donate for school functions and for charity. I highly recommend Fuss Hair Salon. read more
