Wow! I've driven by this hair salon several times but never stopped until today, and what a great…read moreexperience! My hair stylist was Alena Ostash and she made my evening remarkable. My hair looks so much better! She took the time to listen to my concerns and to find out exactly what I need even when I didn't even know. The atmosphere is nice, the music helped me to relax and the products they have went well with my hair. The only suggestion I'll give them is to improve their phone customer service, when I called to make my appointment the lady that took my information was a bit unwelcoming but as soon as I got into the salon everything went way better than I thought. I already booked my next appointment! I'll keep you posted

I brought my man here on a Groupon to check things out. I was worried about the reviews but then I…read morelooked at the yelp reviews that were hidden. I had to find out the truth for myself but luckily Michael said he would take one for the team. We arrived and we're greeted with a cheerful and kind crew. Including two very cute and personable dogs. I love pet friendly places, it always feels more cozy and fun. Mallorie got us both set up with coffee then started on Ms hair. She was very attentive to his feedback and was good with the clippers. An added bonus is that they take care of men's unruly eyebrows as a complimentary part of men's cuts. Win! I love the vibe here ( the music, the modern decor) and would recommend this place for someone who wants to find their regular hair place. They seem to have some loyal regulars who have discovered this gem, somewhat hidden in a strip mall on 34th. In fact, it seems like every client I saw (4) while I was waiting had been there before and had a history with their stylist. That says something. Repeat customers are a good barometer of a businesses success. The only thing I would hesitate with is if someone were not animal friendly, then they may not like the dogs running around. But to be honest they are so friendly, they even won over a cat person. I decided that I would come back in a few weeks when my hair was ready for a cut. I am reserving the last star for when I get my own hair done here.

You're offered complimentary coffee, treats during holidays and occasions as well as lively conversation - what more could you ask for??

This was a very odd experience for me, and I've really struggled with how to review it…read more I've been looking for a salon close to home - when I saw one of the stylists from this salon post a promo on one of my neighbourhood facebook pages. The deal was amazing - $100 for a cut and colour. There were two stylists specifically named in the post, so it was unclear if everyone was offering this deal or just the two named. I called the salon and the person on the other end of the phone wasn't really interested in listening to me. I had to repeat myself a few times and clarify what I was saying. He booked me with somebody else, so I asked him to confirm if everyone was participating in the promotion, he said "I think so". I confirmed the booking, but was left feeling uneasy. I decided to reach out directly to the stylist who made the post to ask if everyone was offering the promo, or just the two of them. She didn't answer that question, but did move me to her. Ok great - it was confusing, but I was excited to be booked in. I was going for a solid colour and a trim. She was excited with what I wanted, but suggested a couple of "money pieces" at the front, which she would lighten and then use a toner on to "pop". She was so excited, so I said go for it! The stylist I saw seems to know what he's doing. The end result was really nice, HOWEVER - the process itself was confusing and frustrating. She worked soooo slowly as she applied the colour. I'm not sure if she was hungover, or not feeling well or what, but I swear to god, it almost seemed like she was falling asleep a few times. She also was incredibly rough as she worked. She used a foil board to apply the lightener around my face, but she kept pushing it into my forehead and moving it around - I'm surprised I didn't end up with bruises. She was also constantly removing dye from my face (not just near my hairline, but also from my cheek, my eyebrow, and near my mouth somehow), and her glove made contact with my lip more than once (they ask you to remove your mask once you're in the chair). At one point, she admitted that she had forgotten what she was doing in respect to the "money pieces", and had wasted time trying to "perfect the blonde", when we were in fact actually adding colour to them, not leaving them blonde. In the end, my 2 hour appointment took 3 hours. The "money pieces" don't really look any different than the rest of my hair, unless in very specific light and were a waste of time in my opinion. And we didn't even have time for the trim because her next client had to wait while we finished. Other stylists offered to step in to help her catch up, but she was reluctant to let them. Here's the kicker - While the price was good and the colour turned out nice, once I got to my car I discovered that there were GLOBS of purple dye in my ears. I'll post some pictures, but it's hard to see - there was a lot of dye in there. 2 stars because the salon is clean and the colour turned out nice enough, but I won't be back. The whole experience was just weird. **EDIT TO ADD**: Kudos to the owner, Kelly for reaching out to me and apologizing for my experience. He did offer to do my trim for free as well, but I really don't want to go back there and risk running into the original stylist. Also - within 3 weeks of my appointment, my hair has faded into a pretty disappointing brassy colour. Nothing like the photos I posted at all.

When I brought up some issues with my hair they suggested some products, but were not too pushy about getting me to buy their products. I bought one thing, and I did not ask for a breakdown, shampoo, conditioning, cut and styling for long hair was probably around $80-90. If you leave a nice review, they will give a 10% discount on products. I was also told they do free touch ups and trimming for bangs, so that will come in handy in a week or two.

Not your standard vanilla salon!…read more Not that they won't do vanilla....there is nothing wrong with vanilla. I'm vanilla. I'm not a very exciting hair customer. This place is so much more because of the staff. So the store front caught my attention initially. It is off 104 Ave. Great locale. Parking can be found easily across the street in the Harveys and Best Buy parking lot (street parking is a pain and the Dennys parking lot is iffy. Not sure if they tow?) The building itself looks like a historic brick build. The salon is a glass house. So much natural light! It can get quite warm on a sunny day. And shockingly, that much natural light can make every blemish on your face come to bite you. The lobby has your standard fare - tea, coffee, water upon arrival. Grest smelling soap and warm towels in the unisex bathroom. Updated and modern furniture. Skincare and haircare lines are promoted and beautifully displayed. But man, it's all about the people that work there! They represent style! Blue hair, purple hair, dreads, braids, shaved, tattoos, piercings....and skill. I've gone to the salon with and without a beauty agenda. I've seen 3 different stylists. They've nailed my vanilla look. I walk out of there bouncing. Things to know: Make an appointment. You can just show up, but you might not get in. Check in with Yelp upon arrival! You will get a 10% discount that you can apply to your visit.

There seems to be just the one stylist so best to book an appointment if you don't want to chance it. I told her how much I wanted off and how I wanted it cut. I didn't ask for a wash so she sprayed it with some water and got to work. Another customer came in and she told him it would be about 20 more minutes and I didn't feel rushed at all. I found the stylist to be skilled and she took her time to cut my hair with layering and thinned it out. I was there for close to 30 minutes and she charged $30 which I found decent compared to other salons. She told me she used to work at a salon in West Edmonton Mall and has been cutting hair for years. Great place for a haircut and friendly service! You never know what great places you will find in strip malls.

Friendly, personable service…read more At first glance this place seems to cater to only women but it's a unisex establishment. My first visit here I was worried they would put me in curlers and place me under one of those dome thingies that women use to dry their hair when they leave the house. Didn't happen. I was relieved when I walked in and saw other men just being dudes waiting for a haircut. Kim, the owner, is amiable, talkative and genteel. She even remembered who I was by name when I saw her again several months later. That's dedication. This place also offers pamper-y, salon-y, spa-like activities for the ladies such as waxing and threading which I didn't partake in. I'm just saying' so you know. Ya know? I don't quite get how needles in the forehead and hot wax on your intimate parts constitutes pampering, but who am I to judge? You can make appointments but walk-ins are also welcome. I'm a better man for having got a hair cut here.

Ricci Hair company is located just off St. Albert trail in a small strip mall. The decor is very modern urban. My hair stylist name was Danielle and she was a total gem. Despite being over ten years my junior she was super easy to chat with. She took her time with my cut and communicated with me throughout to make sure I was getting what I came in for. She also took her time to style my hair and finished off by giving me a couple samples of products she used today. I think I may have to give up my cheap Walmart hair cuts as this girl left me feeling like a million bucks and I came out with a cut that was exactly what I asked for. Also she let me know that they consciously try to be environmentally friendly by recycling as much as possible, dispose of chemicals were necessary and using products that are environmentally friendly as well.
