This review is not for the salon itself, but only for the aesthetician who works there…read more I did not really like the receptionist based on my only impression on the phone where she refused to give me the Aesthetican's number and kept telling me to go on the website, but I imagine that is probably because they rent out a part of the salon and refuse to provide receptionist services for the aesthetics section. Again, this review is not for the salon itself, but only for the aesthetician, Joanne. It was my first time there and I went for a brazillian wax and I loved it. It was the least painful, most efficient and shortest procedure I have ever had and I had a LOT of hair. She made sure to get every single one of them! She was also very nice and professional and gave me some advice. Overall, I would definitely keep going back there for waxing for sure.

I called to get my hair partially highlighted on the same day, and they happened to have a spot. When I arrived, apparently they had not put my name down and still managed to squeeze me in.

Lani has been cutting and colouring my hair for many, many years. Even though I have to drive over an hour to get to her salon, each visit is worth it. She carefully keeps a file on exactly what she has done in the previous appointment, she is flexible with appointment times and really cares. She wants you to go out of her Salon feeling good about how you look. This is the feeling I have whenever I have my hair cut and highlighted - no surprises, always happy.

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.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Carolyn at Tocci Salon. My hairdresser argued with…read moreme from the start about what I wanted done, insisting she was the expert and refusing to do the style I'd asked for. The disagreement escalated into a genuine argument, and I ended up in tears and had to leave. What makes this worse: they wasted 40 minutes of my 2-hour appointment on this back-and-forth before deciding they weren't ready to do what I wanted -- and then blamed the lack of remaining time as the reason. I did show up for my appointment. Despite that, the salon charged me the full $200 CAD cancellation fee, coding it as a "no-show." I disputed the charge with Amex and explained exactly what happened, including the 40 minutes I was present and the fact that the salon itself ran out the clock. Amex sided with the salon and I was charged the $200 anyway. I would not recommend Tocci Salon. If you go, be aware that if a stylist decides mid-appointment not to do your service, you may still be billed as if you never showed up.

I didnt realize that she did a poor job until i got home. The outer part looks yellow, the inside part looks so purple. Uneven. Keep that in mind I was asking for GREY colour. Then I decided to complain and came back a week after. She agrees to fix my hair with no charge. As she should. At this time, she got it right. My hair looks darker and grey on the bottom. Just like what I was looking for. THEN AFTER A WEEK (I went there for a second time on Aug 24, today is Sept 1), my hair looks so yellow. I even used purple shampoo just like what the stylist suggested but the colour is gone. I literally spent $320 (+ my time) for nothing. So disappointed.
