My 3c hair is extremely dense and shape is really important, and it's caused me a lifetime of hair struggle. I hadn't cut my hair in a while, and it was way too long and a bad shape; and since its the beinning if the school year I figured it was time to try a professional again. I scheduled an appointment with Takeyce Mais, and it was amazing! She took my vague description of what I wanted and worked absolute magic. She also gave me some great tips specific to my dry curls. I feel awesome and confident, and I'm so glad that I gave salons a try again! If you have difficult curly hair, this is the place to go!

I booked with Ghergis Hagos, and had to cancel and rebook a couple more times due to my schedule…read more The salon doesn't look pristine from the exterior. I requested a chin length bob-style cut. I showed the stylist two clear pictures of what I wanted. She proceeded to cut my hair, from the crown down to the base, from 2 inches to a centimeter and a half!! Also the cut was not straight, it had dangly and hanging bits. This was NOT what I had asked for. I was extremely upset and flabbergasted. The stylist did not listen to me. Instead, I came out with an extreme 45 degree angled and graded cut. Was my hair cut down to the extreme due to the cancellations and re-bookings I had made? I DO NOT recommend this salon neither the stylist.

I went to MOMO Hair Salon to get my first digital perm. Not going to lie, I was a bit nervous since…read moreI wasn't sure if my previous thick black hair could be transformed into nice curly waves. Wow, Liz and Sumi certainly worked their magic on my hair. My appointment started out with a thorough consultation to understand my hair type, my face type and how I style my hair on a daily basis. Then, we proceeded to a trim to the side of my head and at the back of my head. Sumi asked lots of great questions and walked through every step of the process to make sure I was aware of the procedures and communicated what was going on, which I really did appreciate. Then, we proceeded to the application of the solution which was pretty cool as it was 3-person teamwork project to apply solution while putting my hair into curls. It was actually a fun experience. The final reveal of my hair was amazing. I was in awe of how my dull and boring thick black horn could look naturally shaped with the curls. The style was clean and smart and the staff provided helpful tips to ensure that I can maintain my look for a long-term basis. I highly recommend this spot if this is your first or ongoing perm appointment. It was one of the most pleasant experiences, especially for this person who does not like sitting in a chair for long periods of time.

She really took the time to understand my hair type, how I style my hair, and the look I was going for before getting started. I can tell she really care about the final product and how it will look like and whether or not I will be happy about it. The perm turned out exactly how I hoped. It was natural texture, clean shape, and easy to style. If you're thinking about switching up your look or trying a men's perm for the first time, this is 100% the place to go.

Salon de Elephant has been my go to hair salon the past 1-2 years! Located at the intersection of…read moreYonge and Elmhurst, the space is on the 2nd floor (not accessible as you need to navigate a flight of stairs). They have a team of great stylists and an easy online booking system. They do have a big customer base where sometimes you have to reserve a few weeks in advance for the stylist you want. There are different prices in regards to which stylist you want (based on their experience). I've gone to Salon de Elephant numerous times and have gotten cuts from Kei, Michael and recently Maria. Each time I've gone all stylists have been professional and friendly. I tend to go for the same hairstyle and each stylist was able to cut my hair to my liking. The hair wash and massage is always a treat - definitely a great head massage as you lie back and relax. Overall, great salon if you're looking for something around the Willowdale area! Will be returning for my next haircut.

After several bad haircuts in the past year by hairdressers who didn't listen to what I wanted and…read morethought they knew my hair better, I was very nervous about seeing yet another hair salon that I didn't know. To say that I was hesitant is an under statement. At first I couldn't find the salon because it's actually called Jacobs hair salon. I had booked an appointment with Sara, I explained to Sara what cut I wanted sadly she wasn't able to give me that cut due to my hair being straight on top and curly mid scalp. I wanted to bring out as many of my curls out as possible (I love my curls) So Sara went to work in the most unconventional way that I have ever experienced (it was new to me) I don't think Sara used a comb or a brush, she started cutting and I had my fingers crossed under the cape. Long story short, I LOVED what Sara had done to my hair, exactly what I had asked for. I left super happy, I didn't want to write a review until I had been able to style my own hair. I will be back for sure, maybe sooner than later because I want bangs to go with this great cut.

Surprised to see the bad reviews here, but I will include the disclaimer that I'm a guy and I went…read morefor a haircut only. I made a reservation here because my hair is wavy/curly and I find that the average men's barber shop always cuts it too short. Wanted to try something different and saw this place specializes in curls. I waited about 5 mins after arriving before I got in a chair. My stylist, Sara, did a great job. I showed her a photo and I really don't think she could have matched it any closer. She was kind and attentive throughout the process and made sure things were going in the desired direction. Super pleased with the results. I will definitely be back.

I initially tried Lola Salon because of their great reviews and I wasn't disappointed. I've been to…read moreMaddy a couple times for a cut and style (if you're student it's about $40 before tax/tip). She took the time to discuss what I wanted to do, and it didn't feel rushed. During the shampoo there was a little head massage which I thought was an awesome touch. Both times I was really happy with the result and excited to show off my new hair. It's worth mentioning that the vibe of this salon is one of the best I've experienced. Everyone I spoke with was friendly, you feel welcomed coming in, clients seem at ease and happy. Between that, the awesome student pricing option, and the fabulous cuts - 5 stars!

The online booking system doesn't even provide a bang trim option. I get prioritizing full cut and colour apts for the money but, from a customer service perspective this is terrible treatment. As a QTBIPOC I can't help but wonder if this is typical Karen behaviour. This is especially so based on comment about textured hair. I won't be back and suggest others take their service elsewhere, especially if you are of the Global Majority.

Called to talk to the salon about my hair and one of their main stylists gives me her PERSONAL instagram (not the salons page) to send her images and walk through whats possible. The manager calls me up a few days later and books me in. I walk in and I have a junior stylist not even on their website who does a terrible job and is visibly uncomfortable by curly hair the entire time (also upon looking her up online after... was still practising on straight haired dolls only a few months prior). I sent a message to manager the next day to talk through what happened - and the manager begins to get hostile and tell me her stylist was sad i was unhappy ... does not offer to fix it. After some back and forth agrees to a refund, then has her entire staff block me off of instagram. Incredibly unprofessional.

In the past I had gone to Jonathan's Torch's Curly Hair Institute (which is great but not as close). Although I felt they did a fairly good job, they ended up charging me and extra $47 for "overtime". My appointment went 20 minutes longer and they charged me for 30 minutes more. When I wrote to complain about this, they suggested the issue was that I hadn't sent a picture of my hair (which is super short) in prior to going. The main reason my appointment went over was because I was asking about colouring my hair - how they would do it and prices, because was considering on coming back to do that. There is no way I would go back now. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!
