Personally not a huge fan of going to the salon to get my hair done…read more For some reason, they just don't listen and end up cutting off way to much or I leave with a style where I think "really?!, you think this looks good?!" But, Ilona (the owner) pleasantly surprised me (even after I saw all the hair on the floor) and I would like to officially announce that I believe it was my best cut EVER!

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.

After moving from Toronto to Ottawa, I needed a new stylist. I did lots of research and tried…read morePainted Hair Co. I was not disappointed. Painted Hair Co. offers hair services. I don't think the location's physically accessible, as there are 2-3 steps in the front. I didn't use the bathroom, so I can't comment on that. I visited Rachel, and her services were fabulous. I had wanted a dramatic hair change, and brought photos. For the first time in my life, my haircut was exactly like the photos I brought in. I don't think I've had such a successful haircut before. I came back a few months later, and again, Rachel went above and beyond. I'll be returning and cannot recommend Rachel at Painted Hair Co. more.

I initially was very unhappy as I felt it wasn't as dramatic as I wanted, and also because he was rushing towards the end and did not want to take the time to give me sleek, straight hair. The cut is not very straight either... I had to leave with poofy wavy-ish hair... It looked like a wig... after a few days, (and after straightening my hair) I became happy with the results, the colours I wanted started to become noticeable to me. Also, it is a very expensive salon imo. My short hair cost over $300 to have done which I did not expect. Make sure to ask for estimates beforehand
