Best salon in the city. Stylish, cool and chill. I have very long hair and I am so grateful for how much thought and time they put into my haircuts; so many stylists just do a little trim and have a chat and put no effort into it, but not at Two Horses. Such attention to detail and always a great job. Thank you!!!! read more

Wow, my last update for Two Horses was in 2015, that's kind of bonkers. I definitely have a lot more grey hair now then I did then, but I had an equally rad time and love my haircut so much. This was my first time visiting their new location over on St Hubert, and though it's a bit hectic to get there past the ongoing construction, the sidewalk is intact and the spot is totally lovely. There is a big bright clean welcoming tattoo area, and then a gorgeous room for haircuts and colour. The space is a great mix of vintage textile art, rocker tattoo design, mid-century modern furniture, vintage taxidermy and other bits of found art highlights, and gorgeous wallpaper and tiling. It really looks great in there and feels comfortable and cool. I had to wait about 20 minutes for my cut, but I was served a coffee with oatmilk which was delicious, and the non-binary friendly relaxed vibes were deeply nice to sink and soak in for a bit. The head massage and wash were wonderful - apparently they have some new chairs for the wash and these were definitely more comfortable than some others I've experienced. I had my ridiculously long wild witch hair cut by the kind and wise Christie, and it was such a pleasure to get to chat with her. Most importantly, I dug her advice for the cut and love how it turned out. It feels healthy and looks like me and I feel like I know how to take care of it without having to add a bunch of work to my life. Big big fan. read more

Two Horses - Tattoo area - Hair Salons Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Update: Got my hair cut by Tristan and another tattoo from Karmen! Have to say I'm hooked on this place! Tristian did an amazing job on my hair, taking his time and again like Karmen-- making me feel very welcomed. He also cut my boyfriends hair (shaved his head) and even with his hair cut--being so simple, took his time to make it look amazing! Also the pricing being very reasonable; 50$ for mine and $11.50 for my boyfriends. All around an amazing time and an amazing job done! Karmen again did an amazing job on my tattoo and I'm so proud to have her work on me! Overall, I don't think I'll be going anywhere else but here for my tattoos or haircuts! read more

Update: oh my gosh!!! I just got a haircut with Jess who's the nicest person! I have really thick and coarse hair and she cut it perfectly with layers and taught me how to rid of the frizziness. I've traveling all around the states getting haircuts but this has definitely been one of my favorites! As for my 3rd tattoo with Erica, perfection as always, will soon come back for a 4th I've gotten my past two tattoos(soon 3!) with Erica Cyr and every time it has been perfect! She's very sweet and genuine and has helped me flow all my ideas/concepts and finalized them into awesomeness!! The whole staff is great and inviting and even ask you what your pronoun(s) are to make you feel more comfortable, I definitely recommend this place to everyone! And keep read more

I've been getting my hair cut and coloured by Isobel for years now and I wouldn't consider seeing anyone else to touch my locks. She's always helpful when it comes to hair advice and life advice too (bonus!). I have yet to see Jessi Preston for a tattoo but according to sources close to me who have visited her, she's an extremely talented traditional tattoo artist. Their shop is beautiful and welcoming, just like its owners. I recommend them for any hair or tattoo needs. read more

See all

Two Horses is a gorgeous, chill place to be. Jessi has done two of my tattoos over the last 4 years. Not only are they my favorites, they're also the ones I get the most compliments on. Jessi's art rad, and that's enough to be worth going to her, but the experience is also always great. She's professional and welcoming, she works fast and her hand is much lighter than many of the other artists i've been tattooed by, so I've found that it hurts less (which I like), I've never had any trouble with healing or anything. Everything she's done has just looked great from the moment she was done with me. Jessi and Izzy make a badass team. Highly highly recommend this place read more

It's very well hidden, and also very much worth your time and money. Two Horses was recommended by a friend and I find it's the nicest, most unique hair salon I've ever been to. Very high quality products and extremely competent staff. Will go again. read more

I was itching to do something with my hair - trim, bangs, color, etc., - but I knew I would be traveling for work so I wasn't able to book something in the states. Fast forward 3 weeks later, I'm in Montreal and in search for a hair salon that can not only cover my "dead-in-the-center" intense grey hairs but can maybe guide me to do something different/dramatic. After doing some light research on Yelp (criteria involved good reviews and proximity) I found Two Horses. It was just what I was looking for: urban, hip, fun and out of the ordinary. I don't really get many hair salons in Marin, CA that are both a Hair Salon AND a Tattoo Parlor. I HAD to check it out - I was not disappointed! I was near the area so I decided to look for the place and book an appt in person. They were able to fit me in for the following weekend. On the day of my appt. I showed up 10 min late but Hannah was extremely friendly and patient. She listened to my wants/nice to haves and was very honest about what would/wouldn't work. I went from a fading ombre/bra strap length hair to an A-line/chin length textured bob. I have a ton of hair so it was a long appt. for a root touch up, balayage, and hair cut but time really flew by thanks to all the attention to detail and the open dialogue during the process (along with the random topics of conversation) with Hannah. I never felt rushed and it really was a great overall experience. Next time I'm in town I'll def be coming back! Highly recommend. read more

Two Horses - A-line textured bob with a soft curl - Hair Salons Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I'm writing this review from my husbands Yelp account. I would put 5 stars but he says he never does so this is a 4.5! :P I came to Two Horses yesterday to get an ombre dip dye done. I don't usually spend a lot of money on my hair, but I wanted to this time. After some friend asking, this place was recommended, and it did not disappoint. Melanie had a brief consultation with me by email with pics etc until an appointment was booked. I showed up and the vibe was really chilled, excellent music playing, like the Cure and other great indie stuff. Melanie was super nice. She offered me a drink, I took a beer. We spoke before about what could and could not be done to my hair, and Melanie was always fair and not just trying to make money etc like other salons but honest and experienced. And so,we got to work: talking, cutting, beginning the dye. After a couple of hours, we were done, and the result was really marvelous. Ombre dip dyes on other people seem hit or miss but I love the job, and would recommend this place highly, even to hesitant folk. Great place! xxx read more

The most kind people ever. Quick wait time, excellent technique, I couldn't be happier with the results.

I have gotten tattooed by a few people in the past but Jessi Preston is by far my new favorite artist. Her work is fantastic and you will never meet anyone as rad as her. Friendly, approachable, genuine...I mean the girl is just the coolest! The shop looks amazing! Great environment with cool decor. If you're looking to get a traditional style tattoo, look no further then Jessi Preston at Two Horses! I guarantee you will not be disappointed! read more

Amy did a great job with my mani pedi the other day. The atmosphere is nice and intimate, makes a girl feel special, instead of hurried along, like in most nail salons. Amy was very sweet about my chatting her ear off instead of reading a magazine or looking at my phone. When it's just the two of you in a room, it gives the treatment a hangout vibe, which appeals me to over "sitting through an appointment". Oh yeah and, my nails looks great! read more

I've been in Montréal for just three months and found my other salon experiences in the city pretty lame (I hate having my beard cut into a triangle, and was always re-cutting it when I got home). Jen at Two Horses had only been working at Two Horses for 5 days when she gave me a great haircut and even greater beard trim. Looks like I found my place in Montréal. (The lady at the front desk is also basically the nicest person in Montréal). read more

Christie gave me one of the worst haircuts I have ever had. Even after I showed her a picture. She hacked my hair into an odd triangle shape - I cried as soon as I got home. Will never return. I did receive a call from the owner who was very aplogetic and offered to fix it for free. I opted to go with my old stylist for the fix, but the gesture is well recieved and points to good customer service on their part. read more

I was recommended Two Horses through a friend - it was my first actual salon haircut in about 5 years, so I was a bit anxious showing up to an unknown salon, with a hairdresser I've never met. To get to the space, you must wander up to the 3rd floor of a vaguely sketchy business loft building on Jean-Talon. Do not let this deter you. Upon arrival, I was offered a beer and perused the vintage clothing selection while I waited, and everyone working there was super friendly and total tattoo babes. My hair-dresser was Ashley, who is extremely friendly and charming. She gave me a great cut and made the whole experience very pleasant indeed. I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes things a little different. PS- Cash only ;) read more

I recommend this place to everyone! Especially those who compliment my hair! Thank you so much Two Horses for a perfect cut! read more

I went here to get a hair cut. A guy friend recommended it to me. He told me it was a cool relaxed vibe and for the most part it was. But honestly it seemed more like a playground for the "party girls" who run it rather than a place of business. The girl who cut my hair, Izzy, I believe, dresses licentiously, which may explain why my guy friend likes it so much. The haircut was ok, but there are much classier places to get better haircuts. read more

Love the ambience and the people. Their shop in shop vintage boutique always has cool and interesting stuff. The cold beer during haircuts is something seem more often at barber shops, and I always envied them for it. I find it refreshing to find it at a salon for women. Too bad that haircuts not always work for me. I have coarse hair, not the thin, white hipster type. Perhaps someone a bit more specialized on ethnic hair would be a great addition to the salon. Can't wait for that to come back to Two Horses! read more

Okay I can't talk about the actual structure that is Two Horses (though holy smokes- I'm itching to visit!) , but I was tattooed by Jessi during her visit in NYC this week . I was so crazy nervous because I'm a huge baby in every way possible. Her kindness and professionalism made the whole experience so so awesome. She's the real deal: an artist and a genuine human being. 10/10. read more

Got a great tattoo experience being tattooed by @ little_ a_tattoos at @two horses_mtl! Everyone was very cordial and very professional but also very chill ! read more

I've been to Two Horses several times now, both for tattoos with Jessi and hair with Izzy. Both are super friendly and masters of what they do. I've been thrilled with the quality of work that comes out of Two Horses and will definitely be back for much, much more! read more

After spending a third summer in Montreal I finally found this salon! Two Horses is easy to get to from my apt in the plateau and close to the Jean Talon market. While convenience is important to me so is the quality of my experience. From the first call to make an appointment I felt comfortable and welcome, my visit and experience at the salon was much the same, comfortable and welcoming. Tristan my stylist took the time to listen to my requests for my hair cut and color during our consultation. He then skillfully styled and colored my hair exactly according to my vision, even surpassing my expectation. During my two visits to the salon I felt completely comfortable and relaxed, not just because of the kindness and comfort given to me but because of the confidence I had come to feel in Tristans work. After reading other reviews I can guess that the other stylist much have similar qualities. In addition to the skill set of the stylist this salon has cool decor and music (including the sounds of buzzing from the tattoo artists at work) giving it that creative vibe that I love about Montreal. I will plan my 2020 summer cut accordingly and plan to return when I return to Montreal next year. read more

It's a safe space for everyone. Hands down the best place to get tattooed and get your hair done in montreal! There is the sweetest dog, Boy, who also works there full time. It's always an amazing experience. I can't recommend enough! Bravo! read more

Jenn took really good care of me. We discussed quite a lot before she began cutting my hair. As a result, I love my new haircut, it's so easy to live with! I think that I have found my hairdresser in Montreal and will definitely be back with my kids (I will send my husband your way too!) :) read more

I got my hair cut and colored last week by Ean and a tattoo from Erica today. This shop is the definition of good vibes and both Erica and Ean far surpassed my expectations with the quality of their work. Would highly recommend either, and this shop in general!! read more

The place is a little tricky to find but definitely worth the effort. My shellac manicure lasted three weeks and still looked great because Amy did a retro half moon style. Two Horse is bright and welcoming and the little spa is like a secret getaway. read more

Moved to Montreal in August and just found Two Horses. Went once to Helmet based on yelp but it was way too trendy and busy. I felt like they were just trying to churn out clients. Two Horses is perfectly chill, a great space, and had a great haircut from Mel. Perhaps it's out of the way but totally worth it. I found my new salon and can highly recommend Mel. read more

I haven't been fortunate enough yet to get tattooed by Jessi, but I have been getting my hair cut by Izzy for years and she is THE BEST. I live in the states now but still get my hair cut and colored by her whenever I make it back to Montreal. The shop looks amazing, is very relaxed and really convenient. I only wish I could get back more often! read more

I get my haircuts and my tattoos at two horses and it's the best place in the city for BOTH. Unlike most tattoo shops, the atmosphere is pleasant and comfortable. Stop by for a consultation and you'll see. read more

I visited Two Horses for the first time this week to get a facial with Amy. The place is gorgeous and the service excellent. I loved the atmosphere in the room, I felt relaxed right away and almost fell asleep on the table. The products used were great, really liked the subtle smells. And last but not least, the price, such a great deal for the quality of the service and you get 15% off on Tuesday and Wednesday. I will make a point of going back when visiting Montreal again. read more

Christie cut my hair and I was thrilled with the results. I didn't know quite what to ask for except that it had been a long time since my last cut, and my ends were fried and I knew that needed to be taken care of, but I still wanted to keep some length, and aside from that I deferred to what she felt would work best. The cut I ended up with was exactly what I would have asked for if I had had a better idea of what I wanted. She was also really nice and easy to talk to. I'll be back for sure. read more

Fabulous spot. Jen Zombi is fantastic and has a keen eye for damaged hair while maintaining a cut that works for natural parts and curls. I would recommend her to anyone! Plus this place is super cool and they serve delicious coffee. read more
