I was looking for a new hairdresser since moving back to Calgary and thought I had found it but…read morewhat I experienced was the opposite! It was right up there with the very worst experience I ever had. I went to have a hair cut on short hair, and highlights. I noted twice that I wanted when someone looks at me to experience blonde. I came out of there, apparently not having been heard, with dark hair a horrible color and not at all what I wanted. And the cut? Well it was a chop job, no notice taken when I stated that I had two crowns and cowlicks ( I would expect a stylist to take those into account but no). I said that I did not like the color and that it was too dark and she argued with me! Am I not the customer here? So I decided to contact the stylist for a color correction only to be told that it would be another $200 on top of the $300+ I already paid. Are you kidding me? And again arguing with me!!!!!!!!! This is my wallet and I am horribly dissatisfied with both the color and the cut. In my opinion people need to know what they are getting themselves into here! I will never ever darken their door again!

I've been the the refinery for 3 appointments since they opened and had fairly good services each…read moretime until recently. The stylists are quite good at what they do but the professionalism is lacking (starting service 15 mins past the appointment time, taking personal calls on their cell phones while performing services, and sometimes sharing really personal information). I often take the day off work and schedule my hair appointments first thing in the morning when the salon opens because the salon is so far from my house and it turns in to a day event. I'm fairly punctual and always arrive 5 mins before my appointment time. Each time I have come in for a service there is never anyone there before me and I have to wait in the hallway until a stylist shows up at 10:00 or 5 mins past. Not the worst thing, but a bit annoying. Today I booked an appointment for 10:00 am on Friday before a long weekend and the same thing happened again. No one was there. Another employee showed up a few minutes after 10:00 and let me in but explained she did not know where my stylist was. I waited in the salon for 20 minutes while the other employee tried to get a hold of my stylist and the owner. The owner finally called and said there was an emergency and the stylist would not be coming in. The employee started to cry and asked if I could come back later in the afternoon and unfortunately I was not able to because of other appointments I had scheduled. I left my name and number for the owner to call me when she got in and left the salon. 6 hours pass and still no call from the owner. I call back at this time and the owner answers. I explained that I was upset with how this morning went down and that I understand that emergencies come up but I was very inconvenienced by taking the day off, driving across the city and not being able to have my service done. I explained that I booked the day off to get the service done because I have family coming in from out of town for the holidays and then I leave for vacation on the next business day. The owner apologized but took a bit of a defensive tone and explained the stylist was in the hospital and there was nothing she could do to foresee this happening. I said I completely understand that and asked if there was anything the salon could do to compensate for my inconvenience. The owner said she can't offer me anything over the phone but could discuss the possibility of a free service next time I come in but it would have to be in the next day or two. I explained I had family coming in from out of town and was not available for an appointment until I return from my vacation in 2 weeks. The owner said she can't really do anything for me in that timeline and again that she has no control over an emergency. I felt a bit frustrated with the response from the owner as it felt really unprofessional and defensive. I completely understand that emergencies come up but I am expecting service to be done at my appointment and felt like an apology should have been made and the salon should have tried to accommodate my schedule to make up for the missed service. No other stylists were available at the time and I just had to leave. It's a really beautiful salon but I will not be returning after this experience.

Hannah is my go-to stylist. Hannah is incredibly kind and she's super knowledgeable about hair/hair…read morecare products. She always takes into account what I am looking for regarding my hair, my hair texture, and what she thinks will look best for my hair. I trust her with my hair, which I think can be hard to come by at times. If I notice there's an issue at home (ie my hair is so fine that shampoo weighs it down, she offers many solutions!). My hair is healthy thanks to Hannah. If you're looking for someone who slays the blonde game, you're gonna want to see Hannah! ALSO: I asked to have blue added into my hair beginning of August, and it still looks FRESH!

Took 3 weeks for the manager to respond to me with "we only offer fixes a week after the service is done" and refused to make any corrections. The stylist was reluctant to take any of my suggestions, and left me with this horribly patchy bleach job that will cost me $600+ to fix and go back to what I had before this appointment.

And so are the stylists. Hair 2000 is a great salon to go to if you want a modern, funky hair cut. The stylists really know their fashions and are willing to give you whatever hair cut you want. They also do waxing, facials, hand and foot care and many other services. The prices for the wax are pretty high, but that's because they use high quality wax and cloth. The beauticians are all highly certified and trained professionals, so you shouldn't feel weird if you're getting your bikini or face waxed. Trust me, they've seen it all! I like that when you enter Hair 2000 someone immediately greets you and offers you a beverage; coffee, tea or water. I've never been a fan of drinking while getting my hair cut though. It seems like I'd end up drinking a bunch of my own hair. No thanks. If you've got the cash and want the style, Hair 2000 is a great salon to go to. If you don't want to spend all that much on your hair or body, I'd probably suggest something a little less fancy and a little cheaper.

Conveniently located next door to my local…read morewatering hole, you can imagine the consumption of alcohol and hair cutting were commonly mixed (for me, not my hairdresser). 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!

This is the second time in a row I have gotten my arms waxed and there is still hair on my elbows and random places when I leave. Also I booked in for a full arm and was asked where should it end, in which reply just before my shoulder. Well the Esthectican told me she stops half way on the upper arm. So now I technically have a 3/4 arm wax. I understand probably most people that's all they want. But you asked and I answered. I just wanted everything gone. Which I did not get and that's what I'm paying for right?

After a month I had over 1 inch of roots showing, and I am not very impressed.
