A friend of mine recommended Nick to me, since I was looking for someone new to cut my hair…read more I love having freshly cut hair but I hate paying salon prices. Don't get me wrong, I love the salon experience, I just can't justify salon prices to maintain that "freshly cut" look to my hair. Somerset Hair Studio is near the corner of Bank and Somerset, on the north side of the street. The space is a bit dated, not fancy, but clean and pleasant. When I arrived the woman at the counter greeted me enthusiastically, offering me tea or water and inviting me to take a seat until Nick was ready for me. After a brief few-minute wait, I took my seat in the chair. After showing Nick a photo of what I'd like to have done, he confirmed that I wanted lots of layers, and then went to town. I have never had anyone approach cutting my hair with as much confidence. Like I said before, it wasn't fancy, he didn't wash my hair before cutting it or style my hair before I left. Given that the cut was $20, that it only tok 20 minutes and that it was exactly what I had asked for, this was probably the best hair cut I've ever had. I'm looking forward to going back in 6 weeks for a trim.

The place is clean and welcoming. The staff are very nice. Though I'll never again accept to have my hair done by other than Shokhan known by Sho now. Her skill is amazing. You can tell by the way she holds her brush. As for dying my hair, she immediatly new what colour I should go for. My recent visit to the salon was last week when I had my hairlight done. It was amazingly beautiful! She has a magic touch! I believe she's an asset wherever she works.

I decided it was time to recognize that returning home once a year meant I needed to find a…read morehairdresser in Ottawa. So, I looked for one near work. There were some locations with some ok reviews, but I walk past La Coupe Courante (LCC) everyday and decided to look specifically into them. There are more good reviews for LCC on Google than other locations, so I figured I'd give them a try. I am so happy!!! He was able to fit me in at lunch like I asked and did my hair perfectly. My hair actually looks so good. I can be super picky about it and have had issues in the past with uneven cuts after going too long without a hair cut, but it was cut and styled so nicely. He also told me I could stop by for free trims on my bangs when needed, which I definitely appreciate. The price for a cut is 55+tax, but you get 20% off on your first visit. I'm 100% calling this my new hairdressers and am so glad to have found someone downtown who offers a great cut at a reasonable price.

Got just a regular wash and cut - which turned out pretty good - but do be warned to ask for a…read moreprice breakdown beforehand. They only list a "base price" on the website which is just an apprentice price and it goes up and up from there. They also change your "hair length" (as they charge more for longer hair) if your appointment takes more than 45 minute. This is only actually your scheduled appointment time too, if the person before you took longer and you're seen later as a result of that also expect to be dinged with this fee. I would suggest to the business just to add a price breakdown on the website with the costs for cuts at each length with each level of hair stylist just to allow for customers to be more well informed before coming in and so that nothing is a surprise! Otherwise the staff is very nice, the vibe is that they all get along well and there's conversation all around. The stylist I had was Nina and she did a good job and was absolutely lovely!

I'm always a little weary when I try a new location in the Glebe. Parking is usually a nightmare…read moreand limited at best, so when I decided to try Hair on Second, I was already a bit apprehensive. Laura (my stylist extraordinaire) assured me upon booking that it would be a breeze, and she was right. This location is super conveniently located next to a pay and display parking lot. The prices are totally reasonable, and they have short term (2 hour max) and long term (whole day) options available. What a relief! Leading up to my appointment I had been indecisive, to say the least. Laura was patient and helpful with helping me to decide on a look that was close to what I pictured, but also achievable in one shot (I tend to want really big changes that take many, many procedures, and Laura always manages to help me get as close as possible in one go so that I don't leave disappointed). The rest is pretty standard- I have dark hair and had booked in for highlights and color, so my visit was fairly lengthy. While I was there staff was polite and friendly, and it was very clear they have positive relationships with their clients. One of my friends came to meet me and was so impressed she herself is looking forward to her own visit in the near future. If you're looking for a good spot for a cut or colour, hit this place up. Ask for Laura. She is AMAZING.
