The color came out perfect, although not as dense as I would have liked. As for styling I saw the manager, he was a nice enough guy and did an excellent job cutting my bangs so they were extremely blunt. After a month I had over 1 inch of roots showing, and I am not very impressed. I would go back for the cut but no more color for me, it is way to expensive for color that doesnt last long, and goes brassy quickly.

MVP's core market is men, and they seek to please their core market however possible. They provide an array of televisions and video game consoles for your entertainment while you wait, an assortment of magazines to read, an internet connected computer, and a foosball table (seriously). Additionally, each station has a TV which you are provided a remote control for. As far as entertainment goes, definitely the best experience at a salon for me. But how about the cut? Although I've had a couple of bad experiences with new hairdressers, most of my visits to MVP have been successful. Most of my cuts were done by Lubna (who I strongly recommend), but some of the other staff had a hand once and a while. I particularly enjoy the head massage and hot cloth on my face, and of course the haircut!

Please make sure you view my photos & Screen Shots…read more I came in and asked VERY clearly that I wanted platinum blond hair (my hair was already light blond, just had root growth). I said I wanted my under hair all back to my natural color, no highlights. I wanted it to be this way so I wouldn't have to touch it moving forward. My plan was only to do 1/2 head of highlights in the future. The "blond specialist" told me I would see the dark. I said YES that is what I want. I told her not once but 3 times I did not want it natural or blended. When I do braid tails I want to see the difference. So she puts my hair in foils and I'm thinking ok she's doing highlights on top and dark low lights on the bottom. NO she was putting highlights on the under parts too and a few lowlights that didn't even go to my ends. Completely dismissed what I asked for and did her own thing. Aswell she put in a 10 developer which DARKENED my blond hair. I didn't get anything close to platinum or what I asked for. Furthermore my haircut was completely uneven. I had so much gold in my hair. She also didn't do the highlights close to my scalp... they were uneven in many parts so of course I would have to come in sooner and spend more. It's a dirty trick some places do. I had an inch of roots by my part. Also the very few lowlights she did she didn't even put in evenly. I have panels and the ends didn't get any of the color. I have spent everyday hating my hair and felt ripped off spending almost $700 on a hair that wasn't close to what I asked for. On top of this they are jacking up product prices a lot. I got R&Co which they added an extra $20 more than the the company sells it for. After a few uses the cap became clogged to I contacted R&Co with a video showing the faulty product. The product is supposed to be a fine mist and as you can see it come out thick and not a mist. The company emailed me back telling me it is their policy that all salons that buy from them must either refund or replace the product and it would be MY choice which I preferred. I contacted Ari & Blair letting them know I contacted the company and what their policy states. I copied and pasted the email. I asked for a refund to be put on my credit card which they have on file. They refused and told me I could come in and get a replacement. I responded with no, I asked for a refund. It also costs me more money to hop in an uber as I do not drive. Again they are very dismissive and do what they want. Since they ignored AGAIN what I requested I decided to contact R&CO and tell them they are not following policy. This bring me to this negative review which I was on the fence about writing but after their dismissive email I decided no this experience is beyond bad. They are over charging, jacking up product prices, don't listen to what you ask and you will pay more than Vancouver prices for awful looking hair. Good thing Calgary has other places and I have already booked somewhere else to fix the awful hair they gave me. To be honest this has to be the worst hair color and cut I have ever had and the most expensive. I'm actually on the fence about contacting bbb about this. The other negative reviews are very accurate.

I noticed that one side of my hair was significantly shorter than the other. I pulled the left side down and it came way past my chin. Then I pulled the hair down on the right side and it barely reached my chin. Most stylists take your hair and pull it down towards your chin to make sure both sides are even length. My hair was totally not even. I remember Amanda taking her scissors after my hair was dried and lifting a bunch up here and there and snipping what I thought was chunks out here and there. Quite odd. My haircut is lopsided thank you very much Amanda. I'm not sure if I'll go back again. For the price I paid, I expected a more even cut not one that looks like one side got hacked.

Seeing that he was half a country away, I figured I ought to track down a skilled stylist here. On the basis of some very positive reviews right here on Yelp!, I decided to take the plunge. I'm super vain about my hair, so getting it cut is a big deal for me. I was super pleased with Stacey, my stylist, and with the whole salon. First of all, I came in early and they were super polite and talked about getting me in ASAP. I got hooked up with some delicious tea in the small waiting area, enjoying the atmosphere. It was very open concept, chic and open, and it didn't feel crowded at all. Love, love loved how gorgeous the interior was, which is exactly what I want in a salon. Loved getting my hair washed, although I was a little disappointed with the lack of scalp massage :( Stacey asked what I wanted, and totally consulted with me the whole time. She also listened to me chatter along the whole time. I love my one-inch shorter hair (I also like it when people listen to me when I explain that I'm growing my hair out). I adore my new hair cut, and while it wasn't cheap it was definitely worth it. Also, their pricing is comparable to most major salons anyways. And my hair remains wonderful. Perfect.

Fabulous salon! A…read moregirlfriend and I were headed to Calgary to celebrate my birthday weekend and during our drive we decided we wanted blowouts in order to look our most spectacular for our night on the town. The Ginger Group was the first salon to pop up on Google and the receptionist was happy to get us in that afternoon (which came to a surprise quite frankly, because it was a Saturday, after all). Once we arrived we were kindly greeted and met by our stylists right away. Unfortunately, I forgot the name of the gentleman who tended to my messy locks... but he did have a station right next to another gentleman who, to our excitement, frequently had his bow-tie-wearing weiner dog roam the salon. That was a cute touch. The space itself, was perfect also, with its lofty vibe and industrialized pieces. I, personally love a laid-back environment without the snobbery that comes with certain uptight salons. My girlfriend showed up with her hair drenched in coconut oil from the night before, and was extremely worried about being judged by her stylist due to the fact she too, had worked in a salon with women who were umempathetic toward clients behind their backs. Our stylists were phenomenal. The female who worked on my friend was super understanding about the oil and casually chatted her up about our plans for the evening. As did my stylist. They were both kind, informative, and talented professionals. Our hair looked fabulous the entire night and carried all the way into the following day. Thank you for the wonderful experience and allowing me to look fierce on my special day!

Pure Form rescued me from a hair emergency and I am so grateful!…read more My friend and I were bridesmaids in a wedding on July 1. She booked us an appointment with her regular stylist (not from Pure Form) for up-dos more than 2 months in advance because we knew it would be hard to get someone on a long weekend Sunday. The plan was to go to the stylist's house because her salon wasn't going to be open on July 1, and we could save a bit of money. It all sounded perfect, until the stylist cancelled on us the day before our appointment!!! After phoning a few mall salons and finding out they didn't open until 11 or 12 am, my friend tried Pure Form, a salon that she used to go to but hadn't been in over a year. The receptionist remembered her and was very sympathetic to our situation. She asked around the salon and luckily a stylist volunteered to come in on her day off. We arrived at the salon and met Lindsay at 8 am on Sunday morning because we needed to be out of there by 10 am for wedding stuff. She was in a great mood and very friendly, especially considering the time :) Lindsay listened to what we wanted and encouraged us to speak up if the style was going somewhere we did not want it to go. She did an amazing job and we both left feeling fantastic. The styles stayed put for over 16 hours, through photos in the heat and lots of dancing. My boyfriend liked my hair style so much, he suggested I do it like that every day. Yeah right - I can barely pull off a pony tail on my own...
