Horrible service, I needed makeup and updo for a wedding,
my appointment was arranged to have first an updo and than a makeup
once I got there, the ordered makeup was done first and it was done in the hallway, outside of the salon, after that Anica washed my hair to do the updo,
running water partly destroyed the makeup, the makeup was also very poor and totally not professional. The updo I got fell apart right after I walked out from the salon, but because it took too long to do this, I did not have time to return with a complaint.
also they have asked for more money than was estimated and

I had a great experience at Modmop. I asked my stylist for a new cut/look on the spot and she delivered. I love the new, shorter look, but still feel in my comfort zone. She listened to what I wanted and gave my hair a fresh upgrade.

Really great experience with Ashley at Modmop! She was recommended to me by a friend and I couldnt be happier! Was looking for a blonde look that wouldnt be too high maintenance and she definitely delivered. She was very honest about the different services and explained which would be best for what I was looking for and why. She completely understood my vision right away and Im super impressed with the results! I will definitely be returning!

I love the salon, warm and contemporary. Anica gave me an amazing hair cut, she took her time and approached it with method and fine tuned all the details. She also cut my mom's hair and for the first time in 10 years, my mom has been happy with the results of hair salon in Ottawa. Anica is very talented and she does her job with gusto. Thanks so much for a great experience!
