I had been given an exceptionally poor cut earlier in the same day by a different salon. I had lost several inches of length. Olga's salon gave me an appointment the same day and Olga gave me an expert cut and style which more than enhanced my hair look. I came away, at the end of the day, in a win position: I have found a stylist who is skilled and who listens and to whom I will happily return. My "need to be rescued, quick" was answered. Thankfully! No more wondering where to go to get great friendly hairstyling service in Gibsons. Very pleased to have met Olga and Tara. Thank you Olga and Tara!

I need to warn everyone about my recent experience with 2545 Salon & Spa (875 Gibsons Way #102)…read more On October 14, 2025 I paid $93.45 (tax in) for an "Unlimited Monthly Tanning Pass". What actually happened: -Used it successfully only three times. -Next three visits (during posted hours) the salon was randomly closed. The first 2 times had no notice. The third time, just a sticky note saying "understaffed, appointments only and to call the Sechelt location. -I called asking what was going on and if I could get a refund or extension since I tried numerous times to use my package. It's only for a month so I only have so much time to use it and when the hours on google are posted as OPEN, I should be able to access the beds. Owner Lauralye replied by email, said I was being aggressive on the phone and banned me. Completely false information. I never even raised my voice so this one threw me for a loop. When I kept asking for my money back, she permanently banned me in the same email thread. They offered a partial refund which was never received. I left a 100% factual 1-star Google review with receipts attached they got it removed/hidden. Now they are leaving themselves fake google review. Laughable. When I kept pushing, they threatened me with legal action and accused me of being "aggressive" (I have every email -- I was nothing but polite the entire time). Zero refund, zero apology. So yeah - they have no problem stealing people's hard-earned money, then threatening to sue you if you dare speak up. I cannot believe I have to go through this for ninety-three freaking dollars that they simply decided to keep. I have my receipt, and the entire email chain (including the ban, the legal threats, the fake "aggressive" accusation, and the deleted review). Happy to privately show everything to anyone who messages me. Please think twice before you hand this place any prepaid money - tanning packages, gift cards, whatever. I've now had to file with Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT) and my credit card company for a chargeback. Just posting this so nobody else in Gibsons loses almost $100 and then gets threatened for daring to complain. Sad that it has come to this but I have exhausted every option and tried my best to deal with this privately. Unfortunately I have been pushed too far. It's almost Christmas and these days, every dollar makes a difference. This is my hard earned money after all. Support local... but not when the local business keeps your money, deletes your review, and threatens to sue you for telling the truth.

I had a manicure and pedicure done as well as a trim. This was my first time at the salon. I was…read moredisappointed. The person at the front was not particularly attentive. I had to wait a few minutes out front. I was not offered any refreshments. The technician was friendly, but the service I selected did not include all the parts of a manicure, when I asked about it I was informed that the service I chose did not include it, I wasn't offered an upgrade. During filing, I had to point out several areas where the nail had not been completely smoothed out. When I left the salon I noticed that the polish was a bit streaky and thin in some areas. Overall, it was not the pampering spa experience I had looked forward to. It was expensive and I don't think the service matched the price. This is something I had splurged on. The room was painted dark or black and had signs of wear and tear everywhere. The lighting was too bright, and the bed was covered in obviously well-used and worn towels. Music was irritating not relaxing. Next time I will go somewhere else, or wait until I'm in the city where service is better.

The hairstylist did not ask me if the water temperature is fine when she washed my hair, and she…read moreput something to cover my nose and my mouth when she washed my hair. That was odd because usually the hairstylist would only cover the customers' eyes. It was difficult to breathe. Also, she told me to sit up while she was still drying my hair at the back. Usually, the hairstylist would have wrapped my hair before they told me to sit up. She made me look bad and uncomfortable. I asked for layers and she did not give me a lot of layers. She said she would give me a little bit. That was not professional. The she tried to make my ends curly using the hair dryer and I told her I wanted my ends straight. She did not understand layers; she kept asking if I wanted thinner hair. I said no. She asked me twice if I wanted bands and I say no. Moreover, while she was cutting my hair, she let the hair fall onto my hands which could have been avoided. She did not put on the cape for me - she needed me to hand the other side to her instead of putting it on me. The service was terrible and she was indeed incompetent. Furthermore, when I said the haircut looks good, she kept on cutting. I said, "It's good' several times and she was still cutting my hair. Then she asked my sis, who was sitting beside me, "Is she okay?" I did not know why she said that; she was embarrassing me. When she finally stopped cutting, she looked at me with an anxious look and told me I could go back if there is any problem. She made me look bad with her exaggeration. In addition, she left a lot of the hair on my face after she finished cutting my hair - she only handed me the tissue box when I looked at the mirror and tried to wipe the hair off my face. Moreover, she and another hairstylist were chatting and looked at my sister with a weird gaze. That made her uncomfortable. When I tried to pay, the receptionist showed me a higher price after he knew that I was paying in cash. Why would they charge less if you are paying with credit/debit card? That was not right and he did not explain. Then the receptionist said, "No change? Tips?" after I tipped them. He was insulting. I think they knew that they should not treat customers this way and this was why they charged me $3 less. I was surprised when I saw the price but now I understand.

I've given this salon multiple chances and unfortunately continue to leave unhappy. My most recent…read morevisit was $250 for a root touch-up and long layers. Within 4 weeks the colour faded unevenly and turned brassy, and the roots did not blend. The layers removed too much density and made my hair feel thin and wispy. Nowhere near to the reference photo style. I declined a $90 gloss and feel the colour service relied on that to correct poor formulation. Permanent dye is also being repeatedly pulled through hair that's already been coloured giving it a dry, patchy look. On another visit, I asked for soft fringe bangs using a clear reference photo, but they were cut wet and left choppy and uneven! This is like basic hair technique 101!

5 stars!!! I have…read morebeen traveling from Northern British Columbia specifically to visit Dameon at Salon Haze, and the experience is consistently exceptional. Dameon exemplifies professionalism, precision, and creativity in every appointment. His attention to detail, genuine care, and personalized approach make each visit feel more like a curated experience than a routine service. His advice and decision on quality products is proven to be a 'Best Seller' when he recommends and then applies to my hair to show the remarkable difference for beauty and quality you immediately see! His ability to connect on a personal level--always with warmth and sincerity--has turned what began as a client-stylist relationship into a meaningful friendship. Conversations are always engaging (especially if you're a fellow cat lover!), and his positive energy is truly appreciated and loved. Salon Haze is an outstanding salon and Dameon is a standout talent within it. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking expert-level styling in a welcoming and polished environment. Thank you for consistently delivering such a high-caliber level of service. Debbie E.

I booked a cut & colour at Rainbow Room and was clear in explaining that the only reason I wanted…read morecolour was to cover up some grey on the side of my head near my temples - I was fine with the rest of my hair colour. The person I spoke to said she didn't know how they would do this and I would have to consult with the stylist when I came in. She said she would book me in for foils just in case that's what was decided. The next day it occurred to me that I might be taking up too much time with a foils appointment that wasn't necessary - so I called again and explained the situation, this time to someone else. She assured me all they needed to do was touch up the roots with colour, and it would be simple - no foils required. However, she didn't change the appointment type and when it came down to it, I sat for nearly an hour with the colour setting (which should have taken 30 minutes tops), watching the stylist cut another client's hair. She didn't explain the extra wait proactively, and I had to ask how much longer it would be. When she was done and I told her I'd never experienced a stylist anywhere taking an entire appointment while I waited needlessly, she told me that since my appointment was for foils which takes longer, and she didn't know I wouldn't be needing them, she got booked in for another cut. She also said nobody told her my situation (as I'd explained on the phone twice). She did a nice job on the cut and colour- minus the sloppiness of leaving dye all over my hairline and forehead- but basically, her attitude was 'don't shoot the messenger' rather than trying to make the situation/process better for me or future clients. Why weren't notes made on the file and passed on to the stylist ahead of time? It was decided that foils weren't necessary, so why wasn't the appointment type changed given that it required more time than standard root touchups? These gaps in your process just scream poor management and hassle to me, so I won't be back.

When I called, I found out that it was very inexpensive for a blowout and ensured I had someone that could deal with thick and a lot of hair. Unfortunately, when I got here, the gal was so nice and kind, but she just didn't know how to manage my hair. Just not as well trained in the way she held or used my brush or hairdyer. Understandably, I have difficult hair to deal with. Takes me a long time to dry my hair. It was a nice try, and less work for me in the end. We ended up with just a straight blowout, no waves. I went back to the hotel and had the bridesmade stylist quick fix it for me. My number one test for any haistylist to start trimming my hair is a blowout. If they can't pass that test, no way scissors are coming near my hair. Not many options around the area, so just ensure you have someone that can work with all kinds of hair here and you may be okay. The staff is very nice though.
