I started going to Harlot's after my mom went a few times and raved about how nice they were…read more The staff are friendly, attentive and are happy to discuss your preferences/concerns. I learned after my first appointment that I reacted to a certain type of hair colour, they were careful to mark it on my card. And they were careful to check on future appointments whether I had reacted after the last time. They ensure you are pampered for the time you are in the salon. My primary stylist was Eamond (the owner) and Anna for colour. I have had others as well and I don't have anything negative to say about any of them. They are also open on Saturdays which really helps if you work Monday-Fridays. I would recommend them to anyone living in the downtown core looking for a smaller, everyone-knows-your-name type of salon.

Gotta love WagJag etc when they give you a chance to try new salons for a pittance. I have to admit…read morethat I was a little apprehensive buying this one-there weren't any unfiltered Yelp reviews and that's my main way of researching anything. A blog post talking about how wonderful April is made me think it was worth a try though...and who can resist cut and colour for $39? First impressions for me come from how easy it is to ask questions or book appointments before I trudge in the door. They win on this because they answered my emails promptly and allowed me to book my appointment without picking up the phone. So preferable to having my boss give me evils while I organise my hair during working hours. And it also means I have the date and time in writing. It would not be unusual for me to have forgotten what time I picked by the time I hang up the phone. I was lucky enough to get a Saturday afternoon appointment just before Christmas and on the final day of my voucher. They left a message the day before to remind me and also let me know that there was parking available and to be careful on the roads because the forecast was bad. I thought that was so sweet! More brownie points. I arrived slightly late and looking like a drowned rat thanks to an ice storm. My stylist, Vesta, greeted me and took away my sopping wet coat. I was also given the opportunity to ditch my boots and put on slippers. So nice and cosy! The salon looks small from the street but there's also a downstairs which is where we went. Everything was spotless and the decor is modern and monochrome. I can't say enough positive things about Vesta. She was a dream. The time flew by because she was so sweet and such fun to chat to. None of the usual small talk about holidays! I didn't even reach for my book the whole time. She listened to what I wanted and made a real effort to work with me to achieve it-both in terms of colour and cut. I love the shade we chose and my new 'do. We went for a bit of side bang and she told me that I can come back to go shorter if I feel brave. For free! It's nice to not feel at all pressured. I get to see how well I cope with this first instead of having to jump straight in. Think she definitely got my personality! So yes. Recommend. Cosy, friendly salon with staff who listen, make you tea and want you to leave happy. Pretty perfect. P.S.: Free wifi Super easy to find: just north of Davenport on the west side of Avenue

My highlights are never brassy and April really listens to what you want! I've tried all different shades of blonde and always been happy! The music and vibe in this salon is nice and relaxed as well. You can bring a book, work on your BB, or just chill and chat. It's never crowded, and the products April uses smell great and make my hair feel amazing! I highly recommend April Maloney salon to anyone!

Everyone in the salon is super friendly, and Dragan and Angie themselves make an effort to get to know each and every client and you can immediately tell they have great relationships with their clients, especially regulars. On my recent visit I went for a cut and blow dry with Sarah. She was both professional and friendly, and incredibly talented. The salon squeezed me in for a last minute lunch time appointment on a Saturday and Sarah worked some magic on my hair. It's now just the right length with face framing layers, and she miraculously got my straight hair to hold on to a curl for the whole night!! Sarah was meticulous despite this being a last minute booking and it was thoroughly appreciated. Drinks were offered upon my arrival. Thanks Dragan, Angie and Sarah! I'll be back.

When it came time to make my first appointment, I was impressed by the online booking system.

Civello has a relaxing atmosphere a good vibe. The massage, gentle shampoo,chit-chat, cut and cleanliness left me relaxed and feeling great.

Pretty disappointing experience during my most recent visit to Civello Uptown location. I expected…read moreto come in for a relaxing hair appointment and come out feeling great and instead I got stressed and so upset I left basically in tears. I first made a hair cut appointment with Kimi last Friday, who did a nice job with my cut. I liked how she did the layering. I also made a hair colour appointment on Tuesday with Laura. I wanted to do a dark purple tint and had a bit of balayage from my last hair colour. I came with a pic of my ideal colour and said I didn't need it to be vibrant..just a tint where I can see purple would be fine. I was aware if I wanted it more vibrant I would have to bleach and make another longer appointment. So we agreed to just put dye over my old balayage. However, this is when my experience turned sour. I arrived after commuting well over 1hr by uber to salon. Only to find out that their water is not working. They said they only found out a bit over 10 minutes before my appointment so they did not call me. I was not too happy but understood that things happen and they did offer to uber me to their Rosedale location or reschedule and comp my appointment. I still really wanted to get the hair dye though. So they just dyed and hair dried in uptown salon but washed my hair at the blo bar salon nearby. When I was getting my hair dried I discovered that my hair is much more red than purple. Horrified, I wanted to get it redone. It was more burgundy than purple with a lot more red tones to it. Laura failed to tell me that my hair had warm undertones already in it and that it would bring out more red in my hair. I was not prepared to see so much red. I rescheduled with Rachel to get a hair toner or gloss. She explained about the warm undertone and said if she added blue toner or gloss it might tone out the reds but she would not be sure how it would turn out. She was super nice about it but her uncertainty made me change my mind and not do it. She was sorry I was so disappointed about the colour and just recommended I wait till it fades and do a colour correction at cost. So now I have paid for a hair colour I dont want and need to spend more money to get it fixed. Like it is not a hideous colour but it is not want I wanted or paid for. So everytime I look in the mirror I get upset. Overall, I have never been so disappointed after a hair appointment. I wanted to feel nice and left feeling upset. There was also another person at reception who was not that friendly either. She had brown hair tied up in a bun and wore glasses. She kind of gave me some curt looks and responses. Even Laura was there and saw me but did not even say anything to me. Side note, a collegue of mine was suppose to see Laura for a hair cut but the client she had before had to get their hair fixed due to a mistake Laura made and my coworker was left waiting for 40 minutes after her appointment time. She ended up being passed over to a higher up staff member. Just very unimpressed. I do not recommend Laura. If you go to this location anyways, try Rachel or Kimi UPDATE - After calling the salon, I was offered a full refund, which was very appreciated. However, I don't think I will return anytime soon. I feel like they could have dealt with my situation better. Everytime I think of this location it now just brings back bad memories.

This is my favourite salon in the city hands down. Everyone in the salon is incredibly talented and I see nothing but great work come out while I'm there--But I always see Stacy Fitz ("girl Stacy") for cuts as she does the most fantastic job with my hair. If you are going for a fashion cut/shag or mullet in Toronto you must see Stacy! Looks great on the day of but continues to look great as it grows in for the next 4 months after I see her! Also the lovely Dana is the queen of colour! For platinum upkeep, flawless highlights or fabulous vivids book in with her!! The new protocols they have in place to keep clients' time in salon minimal are still very convenient and all-in-all make me feel much safer. All stylists and staff wearing masks, sanitizing hands and stations frequently and between clients and maintaining a distance whenever possible.
