Had a pic of "cut" I was given. I warned the stylist that I had a number of " "cowlicks" and to be…read moreaware of them. The stylist started slowly brushing through my hair to see which way my hair fell (which should be the proper procedure). That is when the owner came by, wound up a timer and set it for about 20 minutes. She then promptly sat down, arms crossed and watched. Obviously, this got the stylist nervous and she quickly started cutting. And out popped my cowlicks like 'wack-a-moles! At the end of the cutting, hair product was liberally applied to control what was left of my hair. What a disaster!

This is my new "go to", for colouring and haircuts! Jeez…read morewhere to begin. Ok, PROS: the place looks very nice and is kept spotless; the staff are helpful but not pushy; Benji was both my colourist and stylist - she asked me questions about my hair such as how much time I wanted to spend working with it each day; how short/thick I wanted it, etc. She was excellent! I came away feeling Beautiful! I'm definitely going back! CONS: well, ok. There are steps involved if one is going in for a Colouring as that is done upstairs. Also, If you are looking for a really cheap hair salon - this isn't it: I had highlights put in to take away some of the white (I passed grey some time ago). This, together with the Excellent head massage done while rinsing after the colouring and cut & style, set me back about $160. These people know their worth - and believe me, they are worth it!

I've gone to Chatters Nanaimo twice now and both times received amazing hair cuts. This particular…read moretime was with Ry, and she was super knowledgeable about my hair right down to my hair type's Ph level. I have a curly pixie and she was not intimidated at all. I also booked this appointment online and I learned that it is okay to book any spot that is open but was advised to book ahead as they get quite busy. But the BEST part was, apparently they have a loyalty program and I ended up getting $12 off of the price! As if I needed a reason to go back to Chatters (both Nanaimo and Victoria have great hair dressers), now I'm definitely not getting my hair done anywhere else!

Terrible! I walked two steps into the store and the sales person/ stylist came right up to me, said…read morehi, she smiled, and then asked me "why do you look so tired?" I was stunned and asked her pardon, and she proceeded to say the SAME thing! I asked her if she indeed said that and she said yes. I didn't know what to do and was insulted, so I turned around and walked out. Needless to say, not a good experience and I left empty handed.

Curly haired gals, if you value your locks, do not go there! I had the worst hair cut ever!!…read moreInexperienced is an under statement, even I know you cut vertical layers in the hair and go back and re define each curl & sections so there is no definite layer/ledge look.... Amber, dry cut my hair, sliced into the ends so they are uneven in lengths and frayed with frizz and won't curl because there is no strength in the ends. Sections with very short & long pieces, not even blended. Going to Vancouver, to pay another $100 to correct the cut. UGH!

I wanted a keratin treatment like I have received a few times in the States to smooth out my hair,…read moreso I chose this place and wish I had done my research better. The treatment was not what I expected and didn't last nearly as long as they usually do for me. In fact the young woman who gave me the treatment didn't iron out my hair at the end as everyone else has always done. Not only that, but she made me wait a whole half hour for her after my appointment time and charged me almost three times what I'm used to paying! Unfortunately, I regret having gone to Adia Salon before I took the time to really find a good place in town for a keratin teatment.
