Absolutely love Paulina! Expertise in colour and gave me a great cut too. Love be my hair!!! Thank you Paulina! I'll be back.

In the Pickering mall, i had gel applied to my fingernails which was not done correctly. Two weeks later I needed my nails done and went to NRG Salon in same mall. The girl told me the other place should not have put gel on. NRG removed the gel with the electric nail sander - used mainly for fake nails. This procedure has completely ruined my real nails. They are splitting vertically and horizontally across the quick causing a lot of pain. I will never return to these two salons. Never! hi read more

A waste of time today. Holden did not honour our pre- booked appointment. We were happy to return 30 min later as told but when we showed up again, he was serving another new customer and we were told to wait again. Very bad service. read more

I went to Vivian for a haircut on May 14th. Showed the Pic of the haircut I wanted - just some face framing layers with little layers behind, but instead, Got a long uneven Wolf/hush choppy uneven cut. She chopped off so much hair at the top, back and sides which took my hair a year to grow this long. It's so hard to maintain everyday now and I have to wait months to grow it out. I believe this is the last time I'll go back to this studio. 1 star for not listening to request and just off on a hair chopping tangent =( It's better to go to a master hairstylist/hair-cutter. read more

Had a great first couple of experiences, and tried getting a cut from all the different hair stylist at this location. Not all of them did a great job, but hair stylist that did was very inconsistent with quality. Their best stylist is no longer there and has been on "vacation" for months. For the price, this place is underwhelming. It's great if you need a convenient hair cut while at the mall, but it comes at a premium price. Be sure to be very specific with what you want and make sure to watch carefully or they start cutting it differently from how you asked. read more

While walking around Markville, I came across this new salon located on the second floor across from Best Buy. They were opened about a week now and have 20% promo going on and I saw quite a few people getting a haircut or just checking them out. I was also in need of a haircut so I decided I'd check out this place while they still had their promo going. The place is pretty big and nicely lit. Very modern looking. Luckily there was no line up so I got seated right away. My stylist, Jay, was pretty nice (I think he's the boss?), however when I semi-jokingly told him to make my hair look decent he said "I'll try my best" without much confidence. I got scared for a second LOL, but it was too late to back out. Half way through my cut I was thinking I didn't like my cut but in the end after everything was done, I was very very happy with the results! Because they're still in the opening period, some were a little frazzled with how the cash register worked and kept asking 'bout prices but there's always room for improvement. Their prices are a-ok! Not too expensive but not bad either. Since they're located conveniently in Markville Mall I'm most likely going to return back to this location too. read more

Gatsby Studio - October 2019 - Hair Salons Near Me - Markham, Ontario

See all

Got gifted a Groupon and my lucky self got scheduled in before the pandemic took over. As you can imagine, it was not busy at all, so I'm guessing they just didn't have as many staff on. I was on time but had to wait a little while for the next stylist to finish up. I didn't mind so much because it's a mall and I can just wander around for a couple minutes. I'm not going to name the stylist just because I think this is something every stylist I've dealt with in Markham has done. They don't actually ask me what I'm looking for.. They just wash the hair, comb it, and then start preparing the scissors, which then prompts me to say "hey wait, don't you want to know what I'm looking for?" As with most people, I have an idea what I'd like to achieve, but sometimes, what a person wants and what their hair will actually allow is not the same. It's up to the expert to advise. I always feel a little cheated when that conversation gets cut short. I've only had 3 stylists in my life that took the time to review my idea and advise if they think it would be best suited for me or if the idea wouldn't work for whatever reasons. They work with all types of hair everyday so I trust them. Don't get me wrong, I ended up with a decent hair cut and I'm happy to give 3 stars for the whole experience, but at the end of the day, the cut wasn't what I was expected. He did seem to take great care to make sure it was even and stuff. And I love that the staff here don't try to up-sell you on stuff you don't need. They're super nice! Oh on a last note: holy smokes you guys need to cut the heat of the blow dryer. My guy kept using it on the same scalp and I had to pull away multiple times because it was SCALDING hot. I let him know but he did not move the dryer further away or use a cool setting. After I went home, my skin was really red and painful in spots. They're a solid choice for most people, but I think maybe just read reviews and see if you can schedule for a particular stylist you feel more comfortable with. read more

I'm actually surprised by the ratings here. I booked a men's haircut online and I was pleasantly surprised with the result. I recently moved here and was looking for a new place to get my haircut. This was the third place I've tried and I can comfortably say I'll be returning here. Of note, my current style involves short back and side (like a 2 guard) and the top is left long for styling. My hair tends to run thick and becomes flat due to its heavy weight overtime, but they put in the effort and care of removing excess layers which the typical barbers may not be as accustomed with. read more

Thanks Paulina for the great hair cut. She was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. Thanks also for the last minute availability.

I am always wary of getting a haircut and haven't found my go-to place.. until now! I have an important meeting coming up and wanted to shape my hair a bit better so I bit the bullet and booked an appointment on the phone. Jimmy is friendly, attentive, and an expert in the art of hair. I felt at ease telling him what I wanted and he also gave his recommendation before making cuts. One thing that I REALLY liked is that unlike other salons I have been to, he never tried to upsell anything. Other salons usually push me to get hair treatments, saying my hair is terribly dry or frizzy (which it is not!). For me, that fact alone shows me he respects his clients and gives them what they came in for instead of trying to squeeze more money out. Because they are inside Markville Mall (close to Best Buy), there's ample parking and you can do a little shopping after your hair appointment. The salon also has a water cooler and washroom for guests. I am definitely coming back to maintain my hair and maybe will try colouring next time! read more

This turned out to be the best impromptu haircut my wife and I have ever gotten. I was iffy on getting my own haircut since every place I go to never gets it right, but boy did this place deliver. Guy cut my hair, and before he did he gave me a consultation on whats the best way to go given what I have. I havent been this happy about a hair cut in a really long time. The techniques he did blew my mind. Must come back! My wife also had an awesome cut and perm and is heading back tomorrow for some color. read more

Today was my very first time visiting the Gatsby Studio in the Fairview mall. The salon is quite busy but I was able to get an appointment thankfully!!! The stylist I was seat with is named Hanan. Cannot say enough nice things about her and the service she gave to me. I had full head highlights, toner and Olaplex treatment. For the first time in 4 years I was thrilled with my hair! She will definitely be my forever stylist. I give her a 5 star review easily. My only suggestion for this place is to turn the music down a little, it is overly loud and unnecessary. read more

For Fairview Mall location: The pricing on the website and in store is different and they don't even tell you.....Felt scammed. The price list in store is no where to be found but the stylist informed me the prices for all stylists is the same & since I already saw the prices online one would assume that is indeed the price...why else would u have a website with prices on them?....i guess in this case the website was made to mislead customers? They said the prices online are for grand opening which passed but they just didn't change it online & denied knowing about it. So on the website there is a before discount and after discount price....The before discount price for long hair is $45 and $31.50 after discount on the website. So what I expected was $31.50 plus the coupon they gave me for $5 off for haircut that's $30+. (Refer to photo) But instead I was charged $45+tax with the $5 coupon intact....So the coupon was either useless or they just charge you whatever they want....I inquired about it and the staff said it's $50 & they already gave the $5 discount. I confronted them about their unethical behavior with the differing prices online & at checkout and showed them the prices online and they just said sorry and chose to ignore the differences. Dishonest business. Customers beware. read more

I can't believe what they've done to my hair, I asked for a nice women short hair cut and showed photos of hair model and asked 3 or 4 times and made sure the hair stylist Rafi understood it, then he trimmed my hair so short, shorter than man's hair, I cannot understand how it's even anything related to the photos I showed him. When I complained and showed him the photos again, he panicked a little then lied and said that wasn't the photos I showed him. When his manager Haxen came, he didn't take the responsibility either and said whatever the stylist said was right. Horrible horrible experience, never had such bad haircut experience in my life. I had to buy a very expensive wig to cover it and wait for months til my hair grows back, don't Know how to express my rage right now. read more

Booked an appointment to get a haircut at the fairview mall location. Went straight from work (downtown) only to find out that the barber is out on a meeting. Would have been good if someone notified me that tha barber is not there. Note: when I made the apppointment, the guy advised me that if theres amy changes that thry would call me.. but no call.. noone is even aware that I have an appointment. NOT AGAIN.. WILL TAKE MY BUSINESS SOMEWHERE ELSE IF THEY TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS LIKE THIS! read more

I have had my haircut and color done at Gatsby and I've been quite happy and satisfied with those services, which is why I thought of getting eyelash extensions here too. It cost $113 but the extensions were quite crappy. They kept falling out even though I didn't touch my face! Tina, who did my lashes was an absolute sweetheart, I feel bad writing this review coz of that, but my money was wasted and I didn't get the lashes I wanted. read more

Great customer service bench the 3 stars but docked 2 stars because of my haircut , unfortunately looked very amateur-ish but layers were extremely choppy and uneven. read more

Great haircut by Jay. Very friendly staff. Salon was able to take me in as a walk-in without hesitation. Great care was taken in cutting my hair, and it didn't take too long from beginning to end! read more

I have and will always love Jay's salons. He takes amazing care of his customers and never finishes until you are absolutely happy with the result. I went to the grand opening at Markville to get a perm and my hair dyed and I was super nervous as it was my first time. Kyle was the one who helped me and was super helpful and reassuring about my questions and worries. I love them and am super happy with what they've done! read more

I went for a hair cut and the lady had no idea of what she was doing, I got a horrible hair cut that my wife had to fix at home!

Got my hair japanese straightened here yesterday, and it feels healthier than before (had super dry hair, which was dull). Ive been cutting hair here for the longest time and am always super happy with the results! Highly recommend! read more

The nails are great and I loved jasmine the nail tech. This was my second time in a hair salon and I went in on Tuesday and was told around $280 but went in on Valentine's Day and it was $360. I went to get my hair done and all I can say is that they're not gentle at all. Lady was back combing my hair to bleach but when she was back combing there was a lot of pulling and using of the rat tail comb to poke my head. When combing out the back combs she didn't start from the bottom and work her way up to reduce risk of knots, she just started yanking at the back combs. It hurt a lot and I could hear my poor hair breaking especially after bleaching for so long. Washing out the dye they got water down my shirt which was a little embarrassing. I got bopped in the head or shoulder ten times when they were blow drying my hair. I sat there for 6 hours and it costed around $368 and I tipped around 12% because they had to stay later than closing on Valentine's Day, but in my opinion, it was not worth it and I wasted money. The colour didn't match what I wanted at all which was ash brown and I walked away with choppy silver hair with a green tint. read more
