Worst Haircut I have ever had - Back cut & shaved half way up my head without any consultation. minus 5 stars Thumbs Down read more

My stylist moved to Calgary and I wanted to find another stylist in my neighborhood, (Broadview/Danforth). I was aware of Sheila's Shear Art for many years but always thought it was a salon geared towards women. I called, Sheila invited me over, gave me a great cut, no muss no fuss. My hair is super fine and needs a cut that will give it some body .. a piece of cake for her to do. Super happy with her work. She gave me a tour of her 30 year old business. I had no idea how many rooms she had for esthetics, massage therapy, multi service salon. I met her daughter Farzana who is also has her own fan club of clients. Two very nice gals providing excellent service in the area. read more

I have had some terrible hair service in my time and I have to say, this was so refreshing. The moment I walked in, I was at ease. The decor is relaxing and beautiful and the lighting was perfect. I've actually never seen such a beautiful salon, right down to the chandeliers. I received a wonderful shampoo from Alex, complete with a little scalp massage and then received the best haircut of my life from Farzana. She did everything right and she listened to what I had to say. The entire experience was breath-taking. Worth every cent. read more

Sheila's Sheer Art is wonderful. Everyone is very friendly, provides great cuts and colour and are very knowledgeable about products for your hair. Since going to Shella's my hair has never felt or looked better. Great place to get your hair done!!! read more

I went to Sheila's as a walk in client, and on a whim entrusted her to advise me a on a new hairstyle. Using pictures she took herself at a hair show in New York City, she helped me update my look. I have received many compliments and now I'm a regular client. I have always felt like the staff are professional and attentive. I received an invitation to the salon's Christmas party, and even got a gift at my last visit before the holidays. For men, I think the price is reasonable for the level of service and the quality of the haircut. read more

I've been going here for a little over a year now and I've never been disappointed. They give great advice for styles, do a great job with any requests and listen to what you say while they're cutting. I can honestly say that my hair is way better since I've been going to them. Prices are really good too but I'd say the best part is how nice Sheila and Farazana (sorry if the spelling is off) are. read more

I have been to Sheila a few times and got ok cuts for the outrageous prices. This time, I took a photo and it wasn't even close. I went back later and she cut a bit more off. This morning, I went in again to complain, and her daughter loudly announced that it is exactly like the photo if I just fluffed it up a bit. At this point I was getting annoyed and just left. As someone else pointed out, they are always renovating and having gala parties. $75. down the drain!!!! NEVER AGAIN!!! I would rather go to First Choice and pay $30. for a bad haircut. read more

I stumbled upon Sheila many many years ago (close to 20 now!) while still in university and living in the neighborhood. I'm VERY particular about my hair and was even more so back then. I took a chance with Sheila and have been going back ever since! Sheila understood my concerns and cut my hair better than anyone....why? Simple....because she listened to me! Over the years, she's occasionally offered me ideas and products, and has never been pushy....actually she's been very generous with samples, which shows that it's not just about pushing sales, but rather about truly caring about her customers' needs. Both Sheila and her daughter are very knowledgeable and attend hair shows regularly and are up on the latest industry materials. But again, they're never pushy and are not a stuck-up snobby place! Since it's been close to 20 years, we've actually gotten to know each other personally as well and that feels nice. Without a doubt I would recommend Sheila's Shear Art....I'm confident that if you're looking for a place that has knowledgeable professionals, but without the attitude, then give her a chance and I think you too will become a loyal customer and friend. read more

I am a regular customer of this salon and have been for some time. It is disappointing to me that the service is declining and the prices constantly on the increase. Have you noticed that the salon is being redecorated every few months and that they drive high end cars? The cost of getting a color and cut nowadays makes this place out of bounds for simple people. Such a shame. read more

I had my hair cut by the owner, Sheila. She took off a lot more than I asked, even when I specified I was growing my hair out and then thinned out my already very fine hair. Overall the cut is a lot more difficult to manage and will make my next cut harder because of the very deep layers she put in. When I told her I had wash and wear hair, she insisted on "styling" it for me before I left (she arranged a small strand in a series of knots) and charged me for a service I didn't want or request. If you like stylists who listen to you and do what you request, this isn't the place for you. She also pushed her retail products on me. read more

So let me preface this with I am a (snobby) Canuck living in NYC who is usually too lazy to write reviews. Had hair envy because my sister came with these amazing hair cuts with cool colours. Decided to give it a try not expecting much (I work in a conservative office so always felt limited in what I could do). Farzana listened. Then she created this amazing cut with literally a rainbow of hair colour hiding beneath my regular hair. And she suggested products. I am always weary of the upsell and frankly have found my hair to get greasy with most anything. Yup - was wrong again! Using the products as directed prolonged my colour meaning less salon visits go figure! In summary - I am still employed at my conservative company and the party hiding at the back of my hair comes out often to play! Farzana is now my hair goddess! Thanks Shiela's!!! Love ya!! Not sure how to add pics so put the rainbow as my profile pic. read more

I have been going to Shelia's for 17 years and never had a bad cut/colour. They have won my loyalty with their talent. They are a family business, a mother/daughter duo with incredible experience. Every year they train in NY, New York to learn new techniques and maintain their craft. They're extremely experienced in cutting, styling, colour and have great product knowledge. Overall: amazing talent, affordable prices, excellent service, close to public transit and street parking - what more could you want! People always comment on how great my hair looks, I always tell them to go to Shelia's. read more

I went to Sheila's for several years when I lived in the neighborhood. They are an extremely nice mother/daughter team with a knack for excellent customer service. They always gave me great cuts and blowouts. I also went to them to have my hair styled for formal events (my graduation, weddings, formal parties, etc.) and they always did an incredible job. I recommend getting your hair done by Sheila's Shear Art! read more

I've been going to Sheila's for the last 20 years and now my children go as well. I've always had a great experience and will continue to use her services. I've gone elsewhere but continue to go back as that is where I can be assured I'll get the haircut I want. She keeps up to date with styles and trends and is always ready to help with a change in hairstyle if that's what you are looking for. But for me, she's the only person who cuts my hair the way I like. I will continue to keep going back to Sheila's and now my kids are hooked too. read more

Though the staff were nice, I was really disappointed by a very bad haircut from this salon. I asked for layers for my long hair, showed photos of the haircut I wanted, and got far from it. I basically got a mullet with shorter bangs than I wanted. Even my most polite friends admit the cut looks very unflattering. I went back and bought extensions to try save it, and they made to pay for them. At the very least these should have been free. They will give you a free haircut within a week to fix any issues, but my hair was already much shorter than I wanted with short, scraggly layers, so more cutting wasn't going to help until it grew out. Be cautious with your hair here. read more

Yorkville prices and "First Choice Haircutters" service sums it up. Terrible service. She repeatedly pushes her retail products on you. Didn't stick to the price we discussed. Her inattention is highly offensive when contrasted by the prices she demands. Wasn't offered coffee at an early morning appointment. Didn't remember anything about me after 3 or 4 visits. Don't do it! read more

Have never been so poorly treated by a hair stylist in my life. The mother/ owner was ridiculously rude to the point where I was on my way out of the door to do my hair at home instead. The daughter ended up doing my hair for me, she knows what's she's doing. However, charged double of what she previously quoted me weeks prior. I would definitely not go back. To pay the prices they charge and get treated like garbage is NOT worth it. read more

Ever since I started going to Sheila's (about 3 years ago), it has become my wonderful once a month pampering day! I am so happy with the colouring, and the cut that I get, every time. Adding the new colour to my hair has changed my life! I never thought I could go red without it fading fast. Farzana just knows what she is doing. She keeps up to date on trends, products, and styles -- as her team regularly attends shows and classes all over the world. She often gives me samples of new products, to try, and only sells what she herself can vouch for, in terms of styling aids. As for the cuts that I get, sometimes I am not even sure exactly what I want, and Farzana will help me decide. Other times, she listens to exactly what I say. I trust her completely and I will never go anywhere else. In terms of pricing, you get what you pay for: excellent service and quality -- and the perks of delicious tea, cookies, and treats is something I look very forward to. While this salon is family run, it has both a neighbourhood AND fancy feel. I am always treated kindly, by the entire team. On the occasions that I have taken my kids (and spouse) they too have gotten great haircuts and styling from Sheila. She too, is top notch. So, while I live in Mississauga, it is so worth the trek for me! Definitely recommend! read more

High end prices low end service. More interested in selling products than what you would like. Small Mom & Pop shop, Save your money

Farzana is top notch. I have challenging hair and in the past I've often been terribly disappointed by haircuts, but never at Sheila's. Also, Farzana's blowouts are phenomenal. Her friendly disposition and excellent teas are great bonuses, too. read more

Use to go to Toni-Guy, but this is very convenient with comparable cut. Costs substantially less.
