I went to this salon for the first time after last lockdown was over. My hair stylist was Raquel. I really liked her personality and her work. I got a hair cut and I loved the cut. I am planning to go back to get my colour/balayage done. I liked that she did not rush me to get it done asap. She said that I still could wait it out. Looking forward to going back to this salon once the lockdown is over.

I recently visited Locale J for the first time and I was extremely happy with my cut! My appointment was with Joe and he was very patient and thorough during the consultation. Can't wait for my next visit in a couple of months!

I have been a client of Alessias for almost 3 years now and I always leave glowing with how incredible my hair looks and feels. She takes the time to go through the process with me, listens to my requests and shares her input of knowledge and experience and I am never disappointed. I just want to thank Alessia and the team at locale j for the quality you bring to this industry! :) from: a very happy client who recommends this salon all!!

Went for a consultation with Joe D. after seeing several other stylists in the area.
Joe pinpointed the problem I was having with my bangs. He is knowledgeable, personable and left me with a good feeling. I booked a future appointment.

My wife has been going to Joe D for years, so naturally I started seeing him when I moved to Toronto. Does amazing men's and women's styles, down to earth, and makes you feel welcome the moment you step in the door. I give high praise to the whole crew at Locale J.

I have been seeing Joe D. for years and years. He is unbelievably talented. Ive changed hair styles and colours several times over the years and he never ceases to amaze. If youre looking for someone to trust, look no further. The salon and team vibe is also incredibly fun and welcoming. Always a pleasure.

Horrible customer service!!! I went years ago and got a cut with Steve. Initially I liked what he did so I went back for a very drastic cut. He didn't listen to what i wanted at all! He cut my hair waaaaay too short and i atead of balayage, I ended up with one thick blonde streak on the left side of my head. I attempted to get it fixed which they did for me, but it didn't really help. I hadn't been back for years because of that experience, until last week. My regular stylist is no longer working i Toronto so i had to find a new one. A friend recommended a different stylist at Local J so i thought
