The salon is clean and inviting, minimalist hip esthetic that you would find in a big city. All of the employees were extremely nice. Even the cup of coffee I was brought while I waited was great. Emily was absolutely incredible! She was such a pleasure to be around, listened to what I wanted, executed my requests like a boss, and was very professional and accommodating. I have super curly hair and requested a cut out of the norm, she was happy to oblige and did a fantastic job! Her personality was warm and made me feel at home. I would definitely recommend Atomic and Emily to everyone I know in the area! Thank you for making me feel and look awesome!

I was initially so excited about this salon. My daughter had a wonderful experience with Shannon. I…read morebooked in with Sara for a cut and color. I was very clear about wanting an ash or cool blonde. Initially the first "reveal" of color showed a greeny-pinkish disaster and Sara said that it would be better "next time" and was willing to let me leave like that. This was the first issue. I couldn't leave like that, so she re-bleached my hair and put on a toner again. I left with strawberry blonde hair with orange ends that she said could not be colored. That visit cost $230. Sara told me she gave me a discount because she had initially left the toner on too long. I cancelled my subsequent appointment because I was not thrilled with the whole experience. I went elsewhere and they gave me the ash blonde I wanted including the ends with no problem. Atomic was really good about following up and wanting to know why I had cancelled with Sara as I had expressed to the receptionist my dismay at paying so much for a service that was in no way satisfactory. They said I had a free cut and color waiting there as a compensation. I didn't ask for this complimentary treat, but four days ago I decided to go in and I asked for Sara so there would be no hard feelings. Mistake! Even as I went to sit in the chair I asked her if it was okay and she just deadpanned back, are you okay? I was in and out in 17 minutes. She didn't wash my hair or offer to condition it. She offered no beverage. She told me my hair was too damaged to color and basically made me feel like total crap. She said she wouldn't touch my hair and would refer me to a colleague. At one point she held up a piece of my hair and rolled her eyes. Just so immature! This was supposed to be a level 3 highly professional colorist. I felt like I was in a bad sit com. As I'm leaving she asked "do you want to buy product?" and even that was so unprofessional, instead of offering to take me through what might have helped re-condition my hair, she just said it in a flat and completely unpleasant way. I went in today and met Emily who was very sweet. She said she would color my hair, but only if I got another cut (she charges $58) and a $20 hair treatment. She would consult with Sara but thought the color would be complimentary. The whole thing left me feeling I'd been given the runaround. I cancelled with Emily, just because this salon made a treat turn into something very different. It's a pretty salon and it's staffed with tons of stylists, and has a great reputation! I feel I got paired with the wrong person, one who lacked professionalism and maturity and spoiled what was a good experience for my daughter and also could have been for me. There are limited options for a higher end salon in Ladner and Tsawwassen but I would rather drive downtown than go through this again. So disappointed.

There is street parking as well as underground parking. They do both men and women hair and are very affordable. I had a simple cut and even with a wash, I was done in about 30 mins. I liked that. I also liked that the stylist did not try to upsell me on service like hair color as it was obvious my grey was showing or to do a hair treatment. We were lucky to get our hair done without an appointment though it would be advisable to make an appointment for women hair service, especially if it's going to take a while. For men hair cut, walk in is usually fine. I will come back here again.

Finally, we found a stylist that not only knows hair at an expert level, but actually listens to what you want, and what you're looking for. No matter how intricate, how detailed, how creative and how unique you want your hair...Ali will know as he's an expert at what he does, and he does it humbly and with care as he demonstrated with us. After all the butcher jobs prior by other stylists, I was expecting my husband to come home with another failed haircut and was pleasantly surprised. Loved his cut, because it was exactly what we asked for. The second time around was the same. Beautiful job. Expertise. Consistency. Optimal customer care. That's LoLo Hair by Ali.

I agree with the comments about the cleanliness of Lather, especially during these difficult COVID…read moretimes. However, there is following all business protocol rules as laid down by the Provincial Government, and then carrying them too far. While Lather is small in area size, the stations are well spaced. Sanitizer is available upon entry and masks are worn at all times by both the client and the hairdresser. What I find disturbing is that the owner of Lather appears to be unable to distinguish between normal or expected levels of Covid vigilance, and unrealistic or delusional paranoid beliefs and behavior. The front entry door is locked and even though there may only be one client in the Salon, you are told that you cannot come in to sit in the waiting area (which is empty) for the 5 minutes until your appointment. You have to stay outside in the rain, wind and cold until your Stylist is available to unlock the door and let you in. Not the best treatment of clients who are supporting your business, nor would this unnecessary practice entice future customers. JM

A hidden gem in Steveston. A-Styles is independently owned and operated by a lovely hair stylist,…read moreSuzie. She is a dedicated, passionate and friendly woman who will do everything possible to achieve the hair style you desire. My long hair is my pride and joy so entrusting someone with it is a big deal. Suzie knows my hair and knows how to cut it to my preference and suit my face. I think she remembers every client specifically - she knows each hair whorl on my boyfriend's head and cuts accordingly! She listens to what you say and takes care to do it right. Hair cuts, hair dye, hair styling and hair perms, she does it all. She also has a generous guarantee that if you do not like your hair, you can change it back within a week (I guess that works most for hair dying, can't expect her to grow back your hair). Which brings me to my most recent hair adventure with her. I decided on the Ombre hair style. A big change for my dark long hair. Getting all the colours and gradient right took a few tries but each time Suzie was really patient and determined to get it right for me - always fitting me into her busy schedule, even if she has to stay late. Fulfilling her guarantee for your satisfaction - I always give her a tip regardless of her guarantee though - how could you not with all her dedication, time, effort and love for your hair? **See my profile pictures for my ombre hair** Sometimes there's a small wait before it's your turn, but as you get to know, it's only busy Suzie takes a little extra time, if needed, to get every single hair perfect or at least to the best possible. Overall, Suzie's prices are cheap, especially her hair dying, but her service is far far FAR from that. A genuine and cozy place to cut your hair and share a warm conversation. I heart Suzie and my hair does too. And from the conversations and what I see with her other clients, I think they feel the same way.

It was so nice of her to think ahead and give me choices. She also remembers everything we talk about even if I only come in 3-4 times a year. She listens and she cares. She won't cut your hair too short and she will style your hair well!
