I don't like to leave bad reviews, but I cannot help myself. My issue started the morning of my…read moreappointment. I woke up feeling terrible (a really really bad cold) so I called to cancel. Because it was less than 72 hours notice, I knew I would have to pay 50% of the appointment. whatever! so I rebooked 5 days later to give me time to heal. Turns out it was a nasty cold and I wasn't healed. BUT, I was not going to pay again, so I went to the appointment coughing my lungs out. Turns out, they didn't book enough time, my hairdresser was rushed, and I ended up paying $148 (I have super short hair) for a mediocre haircut that I had to fix myself at home because it wasn't even, and I left with wet, un-styled hair. AND, the receptionist is cold and unfriendly. Not even a smile. (for the record, I did not fuss about the price or anything, I just paid and left. I barely had a voice, so I wasn't going to waste what little I had on that) She just wasn't nice. Needless to say that I will not be returning.

Not super thrilled with my experience…read more It's a nice salon, great location, and the front staff is very nice. My cut was not the greatest. I went in with a chin-length growing-out pixie and walked out with an ear-length mushroom. I can work with it, but I didn't want that much cut off and I certainly didn't want poof around my ears, which is really unflattering for my round head shape. My head looks so short that when I saw myself in my mirror afterwards I thought my mirror was distorted. I also felt very talked-down-to as someone who doesn't fuss with my hair on a daily basis, with my stylist barely speaking to me and feigning shock when I told him, no, I don't style my hair every morning. All that said, the cut is acceptable as a not-terrible growout cut, but I wouldn't go back.

Got just a regular wash and cut - which turned out pretty good - but do be warned to ask for a…read moreprice breakdown beforehand. They only list a "base price" on the website which is just an apprentice price and it goes up and up from there. They also change your "hair length" (as they charge more for longer hair) if your appointment takes more than 45 minute. This is only actually your scheduled appointment time too, if the person before you took longer and you're seen later as a result of that also expect to be dinged with this fee. I would suggest to the business just to add a price breakdown on the website with the costs for cuts at each length with each level of hair stylist just to allow for customers to be more well informed before coming in and so that nothing is a surprise! Otherwise the staff is very nice, the vibe is that they all get along well and there's conversation all around. The stylist I had was Nina and she did a good job and was absolutely lovely!

I'm always a little weary when I try a new location in the Glebe. Parking is usually a nightmare…read moreand limited at best, so when I decided to try Hair on Second, I was already a bit apprehensive. Laura (my stylist extraordinaire) assured me upon booking that it would be a breeze, and she was right. This location is super conveniently located next to a pay and display parking lot. The prices are totally reasonable, and they have short term (2 hour max) and long term (whole day) options available. What a relief! Leading up to my appointment I had been indecisive, to say the least. Laura was patient and helpful with helping me to decide on a look that was close to what I pictured, but also achievable in one shot (I tend to want really big changes that take many, many procedures, and Laura always manages to help me get as close as possible in one go so that I don't leave disappointed). The rest is pretty standard- I have dark hair and had booked in for highlights and color, so my visit was fairly lengthy. While I was there staff was polite and friendly, and it was very clear they have positive relationships with their clients. One of my friends came to meet me and was so impressed she herself is looking forward to her own visit in the near future. If you're looking for a good spot for a cut or colour, hit this place up. Ask for Laura. She is AMAZING.

Don't get me wrong, I love the salon experience, I just can't justify salon prices to maintain that "freshly cut" look to my hair. Somerset Hair Studio is near the corner of Bank and Somerset, on the north side of the street. The space is a bit dated, not fancy, but clean and pleasant. When I arrived the woman at the counter greeted me enthusiastically, offering me tea or water and inviting me to take a seat until Nick was ready for me. After a brief few-minute wait, I took my seat in the chair. After showing Nick a photo of what I'd like to have done, he confirmed that I wanted lots of layers, and then went to town. I have never had anyone approach cutting my hair with as much confidence. Like I said before, it wasn't fancy, he didn't wash my hair before cutting it or style my hair before I left. Given that the cut was $20, that it only tok 20 minutes and that it was exactly what I had asked for, this was probably the best hair cut I've ever had. I'm looking forward to going back in 6 weeks for a trim.

My experience a Studio B was flawless. I've been meaning to book an appointment here for ages, ever…read moresince my friend Rebecca (who has outstanding hair!) brought me along on a couple of her appointments. After a couple of years of red hair, I decided it was time to treat myself and change my look a bit. Knowing the girls here do a fantastic colour I called and was able to book with Amy just two days in advance, which was awesome. When I arrived I was greeted warmly by their lovely front desk attendant (whose name I wish I had gotten - she was super sweet!) and was asked if I could like anything to drink. I barely had to wait 5 minutes before Amy popped over and ask me what I was interested in doing. I basically told her I had a few ideas but would love her expertise. My hair was a dark auburn, so I wasn't sure how much of the colour would lift, but I was in good hands with Amy. She used several colours, a lightener and finished it off with a toner. The colour came out perfectly. A warm mix of brows, blondes and a but of red left it. I don't think I've ever been this thrilled anywhere else. Bonus? AMAZING scalp massage...I think I may have floated off the floor! Amy knows what she's doing and is a totally cool girl - they all are. The shops is full of positivity and fun. The atmosphere is one of the best I've encountered in a salon - funky, artistic and girly, it's the perfect place to rediscover yourself. They always have awesome music playing, and today Amy and I rocked out to Alanis Morisette's Jagged Little Pill. So awesome! As V noted, they do free touch ups. While my colour was setting a young lady popped in for a bang trim and they welcomed her warmly and she was there and gone within 10 minutes. I think this is a super thoughtful extra touch. If you're looking for an awesome hair transformation along with amazing staff, this is the place to go. Located in the Glebe across from Olga's Deli, it's super easy to find. While it's not cheap, I also didn't find the prices crazy expensive either.

Today was my second time at Studio B and I love this spot!…read more Both times I've been in the staff near the door look up to smile when I walk in and the receptionist has immediately welcomed me, offered coffee, etc. After going wayyyyy too long without a cut and colour this time, I am so pleased with the final result! Arran mixed a bit of red into a dark mahogany and the colour is perfect for fall! Arran is particularly great if you're not endowed with thick hair, like me. She also has fine hair and knows hot to cut to maximize volume/style. My one gripe would be: no head massage either time when dye is being washed out/hair is washed. This is my favourite part of getting my hair done so kinda a bummer. I'll keep going back for the wonderful 'dos and great staff! Try this spot, you won't be disappointed.

I dealt with both Aline and another hairdresser. Bleach bath was left on too long causing burning to my scalp and further damage to my hair follicles and breakage followed by rough combing/tugging of wet hair. My hair was literally falling out everywhere including on my lap and the salon floor. It has taken me weeks and a lot of tlc and expensive products to replenish some of the health and moisture that was lost in the process. I was so in shock that despite a price increase at the cash after the process was completed (that was different than initially quoted) I paid the bill. I just wanted to get out as quickly as possible.

The app't was done at 1144 - 10 min !! - a very poor cut. Stay away she's not worth the disappointment. My husband said to not go there again. I was going to a wedding and had to try and make my hair more presentable.
