They used semi permanent and said it would fade as her natural hair grew out. It lasted 3 weeks! And they wouldn't do anything about it after me calling. I paid 150$ for her to have a different color for 3 weeks. Very disappointed, had they clearly said it would fade it weeks, I would have told them to do permanent. Businesses should stand behind what they do, and ensure that customers are satisfied. Sadly won't ever go there again.

I've been going to Scissorworks for YEARS (to Kayley) and I have been incredibly impressed with her…read moreprofessionalism and ability. She is warm and engaging and full of good ideas. She makes you feel like an old friend and she's always on time. The review left by this lady "Ann" is not only incredibly childish and unfair, it's completely unfounded. Have you never been sick a day in your life, Ann? Have a little compassion. Sorry that you weren't able to have your hair done but perhaps reexamining your priorities in life will enlighten you and allow you to spend your time doing things other than harassing sweet young women who are doing their very best, ANN! Next time you're sick and have to miss out on something hopefully you'll be called out for doing something like "drinking on a patio." You could use a positive person in your life like Kayley if this is how you live it. I bet you're your new hairstylist's new favourite client.... Anyways, keep doing what you do Kayley, because you're absolutely wonderful and so so talented.

Tease me, twirl me, and just SHAG ME!!! Yes I've started a…read morenew love affair and Shag has gotten me all hot in the head. Well hair. This posh lil spot is absolutely dynamite. Parking is available to the side of the building and back, few spots in the front but I believe those are for expecting mothers. They offer a bevvie at the door, and smiles galore. Ever had long hour hair appointments where you find yourself staring into void space and dozing off? Shag is upbeat, the atmosphere is sleek with lots of eye candy, art on the walls and good beats. Magazines galore and WIFI to boot! There's also a communal table in the center of the work area which is great for socializing, and not having to be confined to your chair. I love it! More importantly is the craft that's going on in this busy hive. I have dark hard-to-dye hair, and if you have dark hair, you'll know where I'm coming from. Keeping a lighter shade of hair is an absolute nightmare, having to lift the roots and then color, and then match up the two over laps. I came in to have my roots colored, and expecting to have over dyed ends AGAIN, I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't need the rest of my hair dyed. Karissa is a master of her craft, and checked on me very frequently just to get the color right. I haven't gotten a cut yet, but that'll be my anticipated visit. The color set me back $60 and came with conditioning and style - just right as I was heading out that night. Reasonable, and moreso because I was so delighted with how well it turned out. Definately making this my go to salon, and recommending this place. You shag, I shag, we all should shag!

I wasn't sure what we could do since my hair was bleach blonde dyed black on the roots, but Kelsey went above and beyond and got my blonde back in one session. It's important to note that it came out so easily because it was a salon dye. Something like a box dye would be a lot harder to get out. The atmosphere in here is great and everyone is super friendly!

Julie is amazing! I…read morehave been going to Elite Hair Spa for nearly 20 years and cannot rave enough about it! I'm a former actor, dancer and model and I could always count on Julie to give me a fabulous cut and colour to get me camera or stage ready! I really appreciate the relaxed spa-like ambiance, it's a place where I go to get away from it all. Julie takes the time to discuss my hair and offers excellent advice on styles and products that would work best for me. There is always a consultation beforehand so I always know exactly what's going to happen. I appreciate the quality and the integrity of all the stylists there. Allison and Chang are also awesome! I've referred some of my closest friends here. This is a rare gem, the prices are reasonable the quality is amazing. I get complimented on my hair all the time! Julie has decades of knowledge and experience and she really cares. I'm grateful to have a salon I can trust.

Every three months is when I get my haircut and Shear Synergy Salon is where I like to go but specifically to Anita. Lovely Anita who does the most amazing head massage while she shampoos you that makes your toes curl while sending you into a slight orbital coma onto another galaxy and into another time. Situated in the east side of the Dragon City Mall in the heart of pulsating Chinatown, Shear Synergy Salon is the place I go to get beautified. I usually will whet my haircut time with a dim sun lunch at the Regency Restaurant and then top it off with a delicious bubble tea. Shear Synergy is so conveniently situated too, I simply have to take the number 3 bus a block from my home and I land smack dab in front of the Dragon City Mall. My haircut lasts usually anywhere from 45 to 60 minutes for a mere 30 dollars and I believe Shear Synergy has 3 stylists to choose from, I am a loyal client however to Anita who simply understands Asian hair, when leaving other hair salons in the past I am usually very dissatisfied with my haircut simply because they don't understand the properties of Asian hair and its temperament and I usually end up walking away looking like my uncle. But Anita does it just right, she's hip to popular Japanese hairdos and has a knack for the anime. So if you want a stylish trim or an all out make-over try Shear Synergy Salon.

Really unhappy with my last experience with red bloom, and I won't be going back…read more I hadn't been to a salon in a few years, I had just let my hair grow and it was almost to my bum. I wanted to cut my hair and go lighter. I made an appt, (with Jodie Lynn) and was told I would need to come in for a consult. At the consult things seemed great, Jodie showed me pictures of colour, we discussed doing balayage, and she cut a small swatch of my hair and said she would see how it lightened up. I also showed her the picture of how I wanted my hair cut. I had high hopes. When the appt came, I was sat down and asked to fill out a sheet that asked how chatty I was feeling, how the health of my scalp was, and which two complimentary services I would like today. I thought that was pretty cool, and remember my previous stylist from this salon used to always give me hand massages and I loved them, so I choose hand massage and aroma therapy. I handed the sheet to Jodie and neither of those happened. Jodie seemed to have forgotten everything, but I didn't mind refreshing her memory, showing her the picture of how I wanted my hair cut, and that I wanted to go lighter. Then she also mentioned she lost my swatch of hair..which I thought was odd. But she said "it lightened up nicely". I was very clear I wanted my hair cut two inches below my chin, so it was just slightly above my shoulders, and she confirmed that with me. She then proceeded to do foils on my whole head- not balayage. She cut my hair to my chin, not two inches below, and my hair was uneven. I asked for it to be cut blunt, and one side was very obviously shorter than the other. When I compared the sides in front of her she said "that's how blunt cuts are" ummm what? They're uneven? She didn't offer to fix it. Also what I found very off putting, they asked all of their clients to fill out the "best of calgary" survey choosing red bloom in front of them. While my hair was processing I was also asked to do this. It seemed very high pressure, and I don't agree with it. I wanted to say no, but I also didn't want to look like a bitch in front of other people or have Jodie screw up my hair in spite so I felt I had to. When the customer is leaving the salon, why not ask them to vote on their own? Maybe offer $5 off the next service if they do the survey, if you're so desperate to get votes. Instead you bring them an iPad and hover over them to ensure they are choosing red bloom? Not impressed at all.
