Tony Shamas pioneered balayage techniques in Toronto, creating natural-looking dimension with customized placement.

Still cant get over how they botched my hair the last time around and this was after Amber used clarifying shampoo to take away the uneven tones .. so just imagine how much worse this was. The most disappointing part is that Ive always had wonderful experiences with Amber so I booked again with her as I only trust her to handle my hair, yet they allowed an assistant to dye my hair while I still paid Senior stylist fees. None of this made sense and broke my trust completely. The salon shouldnt be double booking clients if they cant keep to their promises. I would have rather waited

Very friendly staff and pleasant environment. I got my haircut and blow dry from Tina. She was extremely polite, a conversationalist (usually I dont like talking during a service but Tina was an exception)and helpful. She helped me pick the exact cut I was looking for and followed my brief precisely. I love the new haircut. Its something I had never done before and got me the new look I wanted.

Walking into this salon I immediately feel relaxed. The atmosphere is excellent (including the interior decorating). Tony is effortlessly incredible and is hilarious to speak with during your hair appointment. I made an appointment with him for full highlights and a cut and I couldn't be happier with the results; you can tell he is very passionate about his work. I have also been a client of Tina's for many haircuts and she is very talented and fun to speak with as well. Highly recommend this salon.

This salon completely DESTROYED MY HAIR! I went to Amber for a period of time to relax (smooth) the roots of my long, beautiful low back length hair. After going to her my hair started BREAKING OFF WITH ONLY INCHES OF HAIR LEFT where the relaxer was applied. This had never happened to me before. I had been to other salons for this service with no issue. When I first called to book the appointment, I was told I didnt separately book a blow dry and the service could be applied and Id leave the salon with wet hair - huge red flag and precursor to bad relaxer application nightmares that would
