I went in on August 25th, and I was greeted by friendly staff who did not hesitate to spoil me in every way possible. Though was a "walk in" on a rainy day, I was quickly accommodated and I was given Taylor, a young stylist who is still learning. I was glad to have her and grateful for the head and neck massage I received with an Aveda product before washing and cutting began. SOOO Good!!! Other complimentary features included a hand massage and beverages on offer. The cut took a bit longer than some do, but given the circumstances, with a young stylist, I was fine with that. It was a great day to drink in and enjoy the experience. The cut turned out to be a very good cut, and I noticed that other clients around me seemed very satisfied also. Before the leaves fall off the trees, I'll be back!!!

Haircuts come with complimentary hot towel, scalp massage, and beverage (coffee/delicious herbal tea/Hot apple cider + spiced rum if you're lucky). I'm a guy so my haircuts aren't as complicated as many of the people reading this might be getting, but i can say that even for a simple "guy" cut, the stylists I have had take great care and have great attention to detail nonetheless. I have never been disappointed. Melissa is my regular hairdresser, but I'm sure the rest of the stylists are of the same calibre. I pay upwards of $25 for my haircut + wash. If you're a student, make sure to mention it, as there's a discount for this.

Some people are worried about having students cut their hair but I've never had a problem and I have short hair that is easier to mess up. Service is always great. The moment you walk in they take your coat and offer you a beverage (coffee, tea, water). Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I'm not sure about walking in because I've always made appointments to avoid having to wait or being turned away because they can get busy. Downside is that it is located downtown and parking is always a pain. You also never know who you're gonna get so you won't know how good or experienced they are or how long they will take. But you can always request the same student or stylist if you're comfortable with that one person. I've had a fairly new student before who needed quite a lot of guidance from a senior stylist but I was fine with it. She did a good job and the stylist was great at teaching.

The process took a couple hours (longer than I expected) and the price was higher than I thought was appropriate for the level of experience of my stylist. I loved the colour but it faded out very quickly to reveal an uneven bleaching and patchy blonde. I would be careful to specify what you want, and not let the salon "be creative" (which is what I had said). Overall a good experience, I would go back for a cut but not for another colouring.

Great booking system and they offer reminders via email and text. They're managing the current COVID guidelines and going beyond. They sent out a general email in advance explaining they're re-opening process, and another one with more specific details of procedures and what to expect (how many in at a time, waiting outside, mask protocol and others). They're situated in a nice heritage-looking building on the main street in Erin (literally on Main St.). Inside is really nice, modern and comfortable. Both staff were so very friendly in greeting me. I had my appointment with Maddison, and though I didn't know what to expect as I hadn't been before, I turned out to be one of my best haircuts ever. I showed a picture and had a vague idea of what I wanted, but also took her feedback for what she thought would work. The result was that I loved the cut! All throughout the cut it was a pleasant visit too. I came here since options were so limited given current circumstances, but I'd honestly consider continuing to go here moving forward for such a positive experience. A true gem.

I'm happy I did this. I do not usually just pop into some other hair lotions for my own hair. Doing highlights is quite a time consuming and that I could see the way she loves her job. It's her passion. She assisted two other returning male clients with their own hair that they had been joyful. I booked an appointment ahead and I really do recommend you do this since Holly is extremely active. She's lots of returning clients. As soon as I came Holly greeted me away with my first name with a large grin. It was really welcoming. I showed her the image she'd ask some questions simply to confirm she knew it entirely. Holly has a fantastic memory she'd even remembered what fashion you'd from last time and offer you advice throughout. I am so happy I took the guts to try out this location and I am very happy. I'd defiantly return for the highlights!

Quite frankly Athena is advising everyone. But what was done to my mother is terrible. She didn't want to return after I was so upset but you guys did an amazing job on her. It looked beautiful everyone loved it as did she. Platinum hair, from grey black and the cut was amazing. So first issue, she makes an appointment writes it down, I was sitting right there when she did this and when she goes for the appointment they said she didn't have one. She worked all night stayed up goes in and they can't get the appointment in the computer. So she booked again and this was a nightmare, the stylist was late and there was no record of her ever being there so they said they don't know what was done. She should have left because if they can't figure it out from looking at her hair they are not qualified. Well when she walked in the door I was devastated for her, they darkened her roots the hair that was at the back of her neck was still black. The colour was yellow blonde. They said come in to fix but I don't blame her for not wanting, as her roots grow in she will have a brown stripe of one inch. Was it so hard to touch up roots an tone. I'll never step foot in fresh again, I wanted the brown removed and you gave me partial foils. So I still had brown and streaks which for me is horrible. Stylist should listen to the client, I want brown gone... I hate ombré... I'm going to hate baby silvers of blonde and still have my grey.
