I moved from Seattle area to Vancouver, WA in 2009. It took me 2 1/2 years to find the "pearl" who does my hair since then. I first asked my neighbor if she will share with me the name of her/his stylist because she always looks perfect. She recommended me Charlene at Halo Designs for a consultation. She looked at me and right away she told me what she will do to makes me feel "Beautiful" and she was right. Since April 2011, Halo Designs makes me feel "Beautiful", color, cut, styling. I always have many compliments. Charlene is very...very.. professional, she is an artist and she loves her career; it shows! She is also well represented by Katy who does a wonderful job making you feel at home, she is the best, caring and hard working, also the new addition to the Salon, Amber who is will be doing "miracles" for your hair for customers like me who needs a lot of work, because Charlene choosed her. Halo Designs is a place who knows your needs and they go to any lengths to meet your special requests even at the last minute. Trust me, you are not a number at Halo Designs, you are a guest, this is how I feels every time I go there and that's why I am always looking forward to my next visit. Thank You Charlene to make me feel "Beautiful" ! Johanne G. read more

I have seen almost every stylist at Halo Designs and loved everyone. Most recently I have been getting my hair cut by Jaymie and colored by Amber. My daughter also gets her hair cut by Jaymie, my brother goes to Kiersten, my boyfriend goes to Amber... we're all Halo addicts. Charlene is very talented and experienced, I have seen her numerous times as well. Having worked at a high end salon for over 4 years, I am picky and I have very curly natural hair which can be hard to make look good. Jaymie always does though and I have seen her do many beautiful haircuts and colors as well. Amber is the balayage queen, (the other girls are no pushovers) and I will have Amber color my hair until one of us dies. Charlene, the owner is making sure that The girls are always continuing their education and wants clients to feel very satisfied. I haven't personally had my hair done by Kiersten but she is always so bubbly and sweet and her clients always look great. I recommend this place to everyone. read more

Charlene is amazing! I've been going to her for several years and am constantly changing my length, style, and color. I've had almost blond, almost black, brown, and many shades of red hair, and it's been ear length, waist length, and everything in between. She never ceases to amaze me! I moved a few hours away and went to a few different stylists here to try to find someone closer to my home, but even those with killer reviews that came recommended by people I knew just didn't come close to the level of skill that Charlene has. She belongs in L.A. or New York, but Vancouver is lucky enough to call her their own. Seriously, I always have to walk around with a sizable stack of her cards since I'm asked so often who I go to. Do yourself a favor and schedule in with Charlene! read more

I have been a client of Charlene's for 16 years and she has shown nothing but kindness, friendship and integrity. She would never accept her salon treating any client with unkindness or not following through if someone was not satisfied with their service. ....Also. People. Be aware that there are bots that post negative comments all over the internet that are not based in any reality. This is a fact that is only going to get weirder as AI develops and grows. The post from July 2025 from a Jeanie M here on Yelp is one of these. There is no client on Halo Design's books with that name or will has anyone left a haircut half done as shown in the photo. Use your wits when making decisions and listen to the positive comments. Thanks. Rant over. read more

I have had my hair cut and colored by Charlene Bancel, owner of Halo Designs for over 15 years. I am always asked who does my hair. What I love about Charlene and the gals that work at her salon is their focus on continuing education. They attend professional development opportunities consistently. Not a week goes without someone commenting on my hair cut and how they love the color. It amazes me how often this happens and how many men will comment as well as women. This is the salon to go to. Friendly and professional. I lived in China for three years and my hair was very damaged but I waited for every visit home to have Charlene cut and color it. Happy to be back in the states now and getting it done more consistently. You won't be sorry. read more

Love this salon. Brooke and Kiersten have both done my hair. I have naturally curly hair, but have damaged it from straightening it everyday for almost a year. Brooke has really helped get me get my hair back to its curly state and Charlene (the owner) has been getting me back in the habit of using Olaplex (I used to use it a while back when I was wearing my hair natural) to help restore my hair from all the thermal damage I had done to it. I already see such a difference! Also, Brooke and Kiersten cut my boyfriend's hair and they're both very talented at men's cuts. Everyone is talented and experienced in everything regarding hair!:) read more

I've been seeing Meghan for more than four years and have followed her to several salons because she's that good. She's professional, caring, and always goes the extra mile to help with my hair--breakage, frizz, and even some hair loss. She genuinely wants what's best for her clients and never lets me overdo it with products or heat. Halo Design Salon is such a great space--bright, modern, and spotless. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and they use high-quality products that make a real difference. It's the kind of place where you feel welcome the minute you walk in and leave feeling your best. read more

My cut looks nothing like the photo once I came home and started to look it over from the side and back. I showed Jamie a clear photo more than once... (Check out the pics section for this business to see the pic I showed her VS the cut I received!) and worst of all, when I called to schedule for someone to attempt to fix this cut, I was told I would have to wait a week! A WEEK? Walking around with a horrible haircut for a week??? That's horrible to make someone do!!! Now I have to go somewhere else and pay another $50 and I will not have the cut I originally wanted because she cut off way too much hair :( read more

Charlene has been exclusively doing my hair for over 20 years now and she's amazing!! People constantly compliment my hair, no matter where I go. She is always updating not just the business, her own skill set and her products to continue to carry all the best for her clients. All the staff at halo is also wonderful and taking every opportunity to pursue more education in thier field. Charlene goes above and beyond to ensure that her and her staff are keeping with all the latest cutting edge trends but still grounded enough to cater to those who enjoy more traditional looks. Best salon in the area by far read more

All I can say is WOW! I went in a couple days ago for a haircut and color with Jaymie and she far surpassed my expectations! The best haircut I have ever had... By far! Jaymie was confident in her work as she should be! She listened to an idea of what I wanted, looked at a picture I brought in and then gave me something even better. She even did an awesome brow wax! The salon itself was great.. Clean and comfortable. The other stylists were so friendly and easy to have conversations with. It was just an all in all fabulous experience! I highly recommend this salon, if I could give 10 stars I would! read more

If you are looking for a hair salon in Vancouver, look no further! Halo Designs, and specifically Elizabeth Davies, will never disappoint. Elizabeth is the definition of perfection. She has been cutting and coloring my hair for the past 3+ years and I get compliments daily as a result of her work! Elizabeth is very passionate about her art. She listens carefully and offers the best advice between what I want and what will work with my hair type. Elizabeth definitely stays current on all the trends and can easily replicate a haircut/hairstyle from just a photo. You will not be disappointed! read more

All the stylists at halo are experienced, friendly, and professional. I've been getting my hair cut there for years and have never had a bad experience!

I always feel very cared for when I come in, and leave with exactly what I wanted. I don't have a negative thing to say about this top notch salon! Support small businesses in Vancouver! 10/10 would recommend!!!!!! read more

Amber Hall of Halo Design is an incredible colorist and stylist. She has been styling my hair for the last year and I can't tell you how many complements I have received. I have sent a number of people to her and they have all been very happy. She has a great personality and is always a joy to talk with. All the staff at Halo are great! They give you premier customer service, have a nice, clean, easy to find location. I definitely recommend using this salon! read more

I wish I could upload a picture of what my hair looked like when I came in here. I let a friend attempt to highlight my hair and she gave me pumpkin orange chunky stripes all throughout. I was soooo embarrassed. I went into Halo Designs praying I wouldn't have to shave my head and Charlene went to work. I left with the most amazing cut and color and no signs of any pumpkin disaster. Thank you Charlene! Lovin' my new do! read more

I was in great need of a hair cut and got a referral to this hair salon. Immediately when I walked in everyone greeted me and was super friendly and proved to be great company! My stylist was Louise, she provided me with a great cut, explain how my hair grew and the best ways to style it. I normally am not one to get my hair washed but I found to be quite relaxing and refreshing! I highly recommend this salon! read more

I love it they keep up on the new styles cuts and color and really care about what the customer is looking for.. Thank you Amber and Halo team ! read more

Charlene designed me the best haircut that I've had in years! It is easy care for me, which is very important, but also very stylish and flattering. The price was reasonable as well. Charlene was also able to advise me on appropriate products to maintain the style. I will definitely be back. read more
