I have been working with Erin to grow and improve my fine, thin, but naturally curly/wavy hair since 2019. It has been healthier than ever before and has become fairly effortless to style and manage thanks to her advice and education. Her guidance and conversation draw me back, despite the 45 min commute.
Erin has navigated the pandemic with grace and ingenuity, she obviously puts her employees first, and creates loyalty in her staff and customers. The availability of curly hair products and aids through online purchase, with either pick up or delivery is a benefit to both customers and the salon

These women have worked their magic on my hair. I used to be someone who blow dried their hair all the time because I did not know how to take care of hair. They know exactly how to colour and style my hair so I can enjoy my curls!
Added bonus- the conversations, friendliness and the hand masks!

I went to this salon with the hopes of becoming blonde. My hairstylist Kate was shown mulitple pictures of the style i wanted. She reassured me that it could be achieved. Throughout the stay, Kate asked me multiple times if I had coloured my hair, in which I truthfully responded no too. She continued to accuse me of colouring my hair, even after I told her no. In conclusion, the blonde I was hoping for was never achieved, and I left the salon with my hair looking exactly the same as when I arrived. Kate charged me for her service, and told me If I was unhappy she would be willing to fix my hair

Over my lifetime, I have had some good stylists for curly hair, at least two in Toronto, also in Arizona, UK.. But I live far away from the GTA, so finding something closer to my rural location was wonderful - so I thought. BEWARE - the stylists here do not know how to cut real curly hair. They dry cut it as you come in - and try to match the ends -which only works for straight hair. Curly hair needs washing and drying and then cut curl by curl to get the shape you want - I have had this done a number of times. The other clientele walked out with limp, poorly cut "long hair" with curls on the end

My stylist was running late so I had to wait about 20 minutes before I saw her. When I met with her, she informed me that they hadn't booked me for all the services I had asked to get. I was given the option to just get a haircut or leave to come back another day. The receptionist implied that I was lying. No one was apologetic. I opted to get the haircut since I had already waited 20 minutes and wasted 10 minutes on the booking issue. Hair dresser hadn't cleaned the hair washing station and made me wait another 5 minutes before getting started (this same hair washing station was then used for
