Went in on Friday as a last resort because no one else was available (that should have been a red flag). Got into the salon and noticed there was a notice saying they add a $4.00 sanitation fee to every service (no other business has added a charge for doing this). I sat in the chair and noticed it was wet and slimy, I got up to see they hadn't wiped the sanitizer off very well at all and that a bunch of clumps of hair from the previous client was in the chair. The guy began to cut my hair and stopped in the middle of it 2-3 times to answer the phone and once to talk to another customer in person. I found this really odd. The haircut finished and I went home to shower and when I got out I saw my sideburns were way higher than I asked and they were uneven on each side by about a 1/4" I also noticed that the rest of my hair was not cut evenly or faded correctly. I called and told them I was disappointed with it and they asked if I was sure. They asked if I wanted them to fix it or get a refund, I opted for a refund as other than shaving my head or giving me a Jarhead style cut not much could be done. I went in the next day to get my full refund which after seeing the receipt wasn't full because they told me with attitude that they don't refund tips. Understandable enough I suppose, but I wish I'd have looked at it better before tipping or paying at all. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL. If you want a better haircut than go next door to the liquor, get a bottle cheap wine, drink it all really fast and then cut you're own hair.

I went for a much needed haircut today. Big, big disappointment. I made an appointment and was brought in on time. I wanted to have my hair trimmed, as it is just beyond shoulder length. Ok - I shared that. I was brought to my chair, my hair was separated in clips and about 3 inches was cut off the length in about 5 let downs from the clips which were holding my hair up- which it was truly needed. . No examination or talking about what I really wanted, no wetting my hair, no offer of a shampoo or curl. I was done in about 10 minutes. I then had to ask to have my bangs trimmed.(UGH!!!!!!! But Why????) I was just a put in a chair, and the hairdresser did not ask me If I wanted a wash, blow dry or curl. What was even worse, my husband went in before me and had a 30 minute haircut and style. My hair is 5 times the length of his!!!!!!!!!! This is a very poor salon. And really, I did not want you to tell me that you hated the snow and could not work for the past 4 days. It is supposed to be a special experience to have your hair done, You were not even busy, but DID mention that your rates have gone up as of Jan and there was nothing you could do about it.... I really don't care! I wanted to have an experience and I felt like cap when you finished. Maybe if you had even offered to show me my haircut in a mirror after you WERE DONE with me, I actually had a date with my husband after this, and wanted to look pretty. You failed and we will not be back. Stay away from this place....

Great haircut, no gratitude. My wife and I went to the Ladysmith shop yesterday for much needed cuts. We were on time and stylists were ready for us. Cuts were excellent and efficient. I was impressed so I left a $20 tip for each of us feeling that the stylists, having been out of work because of Covid could use the extra. I guess a $20 tip for a $22 haircut was not enough because neither of the stylists could bother to say thank you, or goodbye, or a single word. I guess a thank you was too much trouble for what I thought was a pretty generous tip. This won’t happen again.

Fantastic cut and colour by Sawyer! Easy to book an appointment, and the salon is pleasant, clean, easy to find and good parking. Sawyer is super professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable, plus has a great sense of humour! I was given good information to make informed choices about the style and colour I wanted. Sawyer is excellent, the salon and prices are great, and I will be back soon! Highly recommend.
