Prior to going to Jason David , I phoned and explained to the receptionist (who was the owner) that my last hair cut was a bad experience, but I needed to have it cut again and I needed someone who was good at cutting and styling. Joan assured me that all the stylists were senior, had experience and getting a good cut was not a problem. Believing Joan would be true to her word, I booked my appointment. My stylist was a man named Richard Lassalle who seemed to be a nice person, but somewhat detached and at times not totally confident in what he was doing. Joan stated that he had 22 years experience, but I would definitely question these numbers at this point. Long story short, the cut was basic and not STYLED, as I would have expected with someone who supposedly had his years of experience. Richard's station was empty of anything but his dryer, brush and comb. There was no canister of Barbicide to disinfect the comb when he dropped it on the floor or a spray bottle to wet my hair when it was beginning to dry while he was cutting. There seemed to be a disorganized sense about his whole manner. When drying my hair Richard didn't seem at all confident about what he was doing and was not able to blow dry and style my hair so that it looked good. His station was also devoid of any products to use in the final stage of the process. Somewhat disorganized and lacking overall. I trusted Joan to be honest with me, but that clearly did not happen. When I phoned later that day and asked for my money back, Joan said she would book me another appointment. I stated that I was not interested in going back and asked for a refund. Joan said that they don't give refunds. When I reminded her about our initial conversation, she stated that " I seemed like the kind of person who would be hard to satisfy". That was simply not the case. I am very aware of the difference between a well styled cut and a basic simple cut. The manner in which Joan, as the owner, dealt with this situation was totally unnprofessional and she demonstrated a lack of any credible customer service skills. I do not feel my experience was a one off situation, but rather a more common occurrence with this salon. I would not advise anyone to go to this salon unless you are established with a stylist there, who is a true professional, has kept up with training and knows what he/she is doing. Had I known ahead of time that the stylists rent their chairs, I would have known that the Groupon cuts would only go to those who are fairly basic in their skills and abilities. The more skilled stylists would not waste their time or space!!! read more

I have been seeing Marium at the Salon for numerous visits and every time I come out feeling spoilt rotten, had a wonderful conversation just like with an old friend and what can I say - the hairstyling is fabulous! Marium can be counted upon to provide helpful feedback about hairstyles and ways to manage your hair that actually work for your hair type, her cuts last the longest than any other I have ever gotten and she is honest and simply a great stylist! I have people who see her when they are visiting from Europe, she is that great! What I value most about her is that she gives candid feedback when I am utterly confused about what to try out since she knows my hair and does not give me the usual " well, what would you like done?" Well, as many women, sometimes I don't know. I want something different - so having someone that actually has an opinion and shares her knowledge is what I want and value! If you want a great stylist that has extensive international training, makes you feel like a million dollars and remembers your quirks from previous visits, is kind and fun, then Marium will be your cup of tea! In regards of recent reviews, I felt I had to speak up and defend my favourite stylist in the city! She really is as good as it gets! Full marks! read more

I went to see Richard Lasalle for the first time last week as he came highly recommended by a close friend. I'm not very comfortable in the typical high end salons but was pleasantly surprised by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The receptionist, Joan was so down to earth and was a pleasure to interact with. I was early for my appointment and observed Joan handling a few more 'high maintenance' clients. She still served me with a positive attitude afterwards and treated me like I was an importnant client. Richard was polite and listened to my ideas for my new hairstyle which I absolutely love! His station was not filled with clutter and I did not feel any pressure to buy any of the products he used on my hair. I would not hesitate to recommend Jason David Hair Salon to anyone looking for a new and comfortable hair salon experience. I will definitely go back again and I am now using their tanning service as well which is so convenient as I work just down the street. Thanks, Joan and Richard! read more

Love this place! Got a massage done here with the amazing Cori. I have had only a handful of massages as I get very uncomfortable with other people touching me but with back problems and stress getting a massage is a necessity. Cori was lovely from the moment I got there. Very polite and friendly. She made sure I was comfortable the whole time. I'm such an awkward and tense person it was amazing how quickly I relaxed. Her massage was so good, any time I told her she was going to hard or areas that needed work she took all that into consideration. She didn't rush me at all or try to sell me anything so that was appreciated as well as a lot of places can be very pushy. I always walk by this area on my way to work every day and never noticed it, a hidden gym. A big salon with lots of stylists as well. I will definetly be going back to Cori and to try out the hair services. A very happy and relaxed client read more

I went to see a stylist by the name of Connie Gallo after a recommendation from a friend for a colour correction and was not disappointed. The colour is gorgeous, and suits me very well. I'm not one to typically try a new stylist for such a dramatic colour change (and I've had basically the same colour for 15 years), but I was not disappointed. The cut is a quality cut and the colour is a high end job - shiny, rich, and suits my skin tone well. My cousin who is a hair dresser in Montreal saw it last week and said it was an excellent job and I trust her judgement implicitly. Although I'd read mixed reviews about this salon I couldn't be happier with my hair - it's sexy, healthy, and after 8 weeks the colour hasn't changed or faded in any way - yay!! I will keep going back and would recommend Connie to anyone. read more

I went into this hair studio to get my haircut after I had a bad haircut and experience from my last stylist. I was fortunate enough to be placed in the hands of Kathleen. Kathleen did an amazing job! She listened to what I wanted and ensured that I was happy with my haircut. Kathleen was professional, thorough, and charming. I have been back a couple of times and I will keep going back due to the fact that I can relax and be confident that I will have a great haircut after Kathleen works her magic. Overall, this is definitely a great hair studio with talent. I highly recommend Jason-David Hair Studio, and I especially recommend that you ask for a haircut from Kathleen. read more

I've seen Thomas a few times. Every single appointment I walk out disappointed - but hopeful that he will eventually listen to my thoughts at the next appointment. The last appointment, I asked for a trim and 3 inches were taken off and harsh layers put in because "he thought that's what I should have". Any suggestion that I make he shuts down saying "nope, not gonna work". He has never asked how I style my hair, always insisting on a poker straight flat look. Every time, I end up sitting there and wishing that a different stylist was doing my hair. Everyone else looks great. If you pay cash, you don't have to pay taxes. read more

Last November, I moved from Quebec to Vancouver. I was very anxious to find a new colorist because I've been having the same colorist for many years back there. I'm also a very difficult customer therefore it was imperative for me to found someone that could be up to my level expectation. I went to Jason-David Hair Studio and I have found in Kathleen exactly what I needed and what I was looking for, she's professional and she's very good at what she do. I've been going on a monthly basis to Jason-David Hair Studio since I moved here and I will keep going back. Thanks to Kathleen my color is wonderful. read more

I regularly see Connie and thoroughly enjoy my time with her. She delivers everytime and my haircut lasts for 6 weeks or more. The colour she uses is great, it doesn't dry out my hair or scalp like I have experienced in other salons. She's open and honest if you ask her about a style / colour. The stylists are older, experienced, more confident and relaxed and this translates into the vibe and atmosphere of the salon. read more

I just got an AMAZING hair cut by Despina who is very professional and kind. She took the time and care to explain how to fix my horrible cut I got a couple months ago on Denman (Envy Hair Studio). I've got curly/wavy hair and it's diffcult to find the right person who knows how to cut curly hair. Despina did a great job and I would recommend her to anyone with curly/wavy hair! read more

Recently got a hair cut with Kathleen and she did a great job. She actually listened to what I wanted and didn't do a basic mens cut. She changed my style because I was unhappy with the basic haircut and just simply things she did made the whole hairstyle a lot different. Very happy and would highly recommend Kathleen for mens cut. read more
