Professional CON ARTIST. PLEASE AVOID! This place preys on elderly and those scared to speak up. She will not give a price consult. Protect your money and go elsewhere. If you must go, bring your boyfriend or husband and get them to establish a price before you go forward with any service. Leila, her sister and family are like the Gypsies in Europe that steal dozens of iPhones (per day) and wallets full of cash from unexpecting tourists. The rats and pickpocketing thieves that everybody hates. They are the slimiest scum of this earth. So fake nice and tacky and overtop manipulative. Support ethically owned Canadian businesses. TLDR: came in with blue hair that was blonde underneath, walked out with black hair that I spent $300 to achieve only two days prior. My hair is black again and she charged me $200 when it should've been not more than $50 for the service. Brought $50 worth of dye from sally's and she mixed black dye into it and ruined my hair! Total spent: $500 and my hair is back to black from Leila's greed. She's a monster. Website listed funky colours prices as $75 and $70 for regular ones. Even a foil all over the head colour was only $140 MAX. So how does she reckon that a sloppy all over a colour where products were brought from the client warrants charging me $200? Red flag** observed 90% of customers as 70+ in age. No sign with prices of services anywhere. No flyers or posters. Prices made up on the spot based on how much she can thinks she can rip you off. Other complaints state similar occurrences. This lady needs to be reported to the Better Business Bureau. I will be the one to do it. Leila even had the audacity to ask me to leave her a Google review. Here it is lady lol. She knew she needed to lift my hair more to get it evenly blue so she turned my hair black, knowing she could skip out on colour removal and the bleaching process. That's why she said my blue dye and hair was cheap and ugly. Insult the client to get them to agree to let her dye it black. Lazy. She worked on my hair less than 5 mins. No wonder she wouldn't give me the quote, knowing full well that I would not have gone through with it. I also wasn't given a receipt or a price breakdown on her justification of cost. At the end, she said I was lucky I wasn't charged $250. FYI I had the consultation prior but she REFUUSEDD to give me a quote. That's the whole point of having one - to come in for a hair assessment to get a price confirmed. I kept asking for a ballpark range, she kept stating she was going to give a really good deal since she didn't know the price. I assumed it would be $50 max! She should have removed the colour and lifted it more before adding blue (without her black mix). This takes effort to do vs what she did to me. She is lazy and greedy. *** What I got** she haphazardly mixed all the dye I brought (with her own black dye) and the dumped it all over my head in a sink!! I didn't get to sit in a salon chair and have her work and take time to thoughtfully colour it. After that, she left me sitting with my head in the sink for almost 1 hour while she flirted with a grandpa. Her sister washed my hair and it was done. She didn't do any more work on me. She told his granddaughter 10 times that they were going to take him home and that the little girl could keep the dog. He looked uncomfortable and kept his head down. They laughed uncontrollably and spoke their language. They were so inappropriate. Literally flirted the whole time with the man. Nobody wants you lady. Lmao After that, my scalp was burning and I was dizzy and disoriented from not only the chemicals, but having my head hanging backwards for TOO long. After I went home, I couldn't get off the couch for almost 3 hours because my whole body was so sore. And my hair is green and patchy too. read more

Leila's Hair Studio - Price list - Hair Salons Near Me - St. Catharines, Ontario

I never leave bad reviews, but after my experience at Leila's Hair Studio, I feel obligated to warn others so they don't waste their time, money, or risk serious hair damage. I booked an appointment for a haircut and blowout for an event. I made it very clear that I wanted a simple, fresh blowout with a trim. What I got instead was a disaster. The stylist asked if I wanted my hair to look like hers, which I assumed meant the way it was finished after a blowout--not an entirely different styling service. At no point was I told this meant I would be charged significantly more or that she would skip basic steps like washing my hair. Instead of receiving the standard shampoo, conditioning, and protective treatment that should accompany any blowout or cut, she went straight into styling my dry hair with excessive heat. My hair was literally steaming while she curled it, which is an immediate sign of heat damage. A good stylist would have recognized that and adjusted, but she continued. The final result? Crimped, uneven curls, a slightly off-center part, and dry hair flakes left in my hair--not the smooth, polished look I expected. Within 30 minutes, my curls had already fallen apart, and the next day, I was horrified to see that my hair felt brittle, fried, and full of split ends. The worst part? The price. Their website advertises a haircut and blowout for $35. I was charged $79.10--more than double--without being informed of any price change beforehand. When I went back to ask about it, they dismissed my concerns, saying the extra charge was because she "styled" my hair instead of doing a blowout, something I never asked for or agreed to. If I had been informed ahead of time, I never would have gone through with it--especially since I am a student on a budget and chose this salon for its supposedly reasonable prices. To make matters worse, I contacted the salon multiple times over two weeks to try and resolve this. They completely ignored me. No response, no acknowledgment--nothing. This is not how a business should treat its customers, especially when their mistake damaged someone's hair. I have photos to prove everything--before, during, and after the appointment--and will be disputing the charge with my credit card company since this salon clearly does not stand behind its work or value customer satisfaction. If you care about your hair, your money, or basic professionalism, DO NOT go to Leila's Hair Studio. There are plenty of salons that actually listen to their clients, deliver what was promised, and don't charge hidden fees. Save yourself the frustration and find a place that actually respects its customers. read more

I've been going to Leila for a few years now for my blonde foils and she is amazing ! I love how she does my hair, and I've been to quite a few stylists over the years but she is the best! The salon has such a fun vibe and it's just a wonderful experience every time. read more

0 stars. Clearly this lady does not know how to cut short hair or maybe just hair in general.... her prices online are incorrect. She will charge you way more when you come in saying "the hair is longer so technically its more" its a KIDS cut. Online it clearly says 15 for kids 9 and under and 18 for 13 and under... it does not say $15+ or $18+.... and honestly a cut of the scissors is a cut of the scissors. You are not using more product or time... and speaking of time it took about 25 mins to cut 2 boys hair ... rushing much? When were going to pay she notified me it would be $50! When questioned she acted like she was in the right to do what she wants pricing wise stating that the website is under construction (no signs of that so nice try).... its a TRICK! Her prices are salon prices without the knowledge and skill. Dont waste your time. Oh and the cuts ..... they were sooooo far from what was asked for from my boys. She was shown a picture but scalped them with her buzzers anyway. When this was mentioned prior to leaving she stated we were disrespectful to her job (hey if you can't cut hair expect to hear displeasure in the results..) she clearly can't take criticism as she yelled at me to leave calling me a bitch dropping the F word around my kids... so unprofessional its not even funny. I gave her it back as she clearly needs someone to put her in her place! Dont even bother.... you WILL be disappointed read more

I'm very satisfied and recommend you give Leila's Hair Studio a try. read more

Avoid this "salon" at all times. One hairstylist, not ever busy. There is a reason for that. Family members just hang out, and do nothing. She hacked my hair with a razor, never consulting with me before, just went ahead destroyed my hair. It will take 2 visits to a professional stylist to fix her amateur attempt. Give this place a double wide berth. 2 thumbs down. read more

This salon is the best. Modern, clean, and friendly atmosphere. Leila is one of the best hair stylists I have ever known. She takes the time to explain what she is doing and why.
