I really didn't want to leave a bad review…read more I went in Monday for a blowout with a friend before a wedding we were going to. I have very long hair, just above belly button, and had previously thought about cutting it bc it was getting too long / weighing down. That said, I did not want to get my hair cut at a blow dry place. I just wanted a wash and some light curls. I go in, the stylist says my hair is too long to hold the blowout, recommends trimming it. I say a trim would be nice, thank you, no more than 2" please. After the wash, he brushes my hair and says "are you ready?" I get nervous bc why would I need to mentally prepare myself for a trim? So I stop to say please do not cut more than 2" and I show him where on my chest i want it to fall. I repeat this many times, and say I will be so upset if he cuts more, please do not cut more, no more than this length. He replies of course, do not worry, I'd never do you dirty. I can tell by how long it takes for him to cut the hair that it was a lot. He puts it in front of me and I immediately panic. I get so upset I want to cry , I say this is 6", what the hell did you do, I told you no more than two. He insists it is 3", but he's holding a full ponytails worth of my hair. I literally show him inch by inch how much he cut, but he stands by it and says it will look amazing. I'm so upset, but tell myself I wanted a cut anyway, so whatever. He then blow drys and curls it , but it's pretty uneven, so I go in the bathroom to finger comb it through furiously. I have to tell him to recurl one side bc it's going in opposite directions. I start to like the length, and calm down. I laugh about it with my friend and we joke about how this will be a funny story. I did give him a decent tip , and wasn't going to post about it because I thought, whatever things happen. The following morning though, once the curls drop -- and for context I have pin straight hair, never really style it -- and I look in the mirror. You can see by the photo alone how atrocious the cut it. He said he's cut hair for 10+ years, but how the hell could that be true when he was proud of that cut. I can't speak to other stylists, but the man did not respect what I asked for and gave me a really awful cut. I now have to pay more money to fix a haircut that happened against my consent. I understand people have bad days, and want to be empathetic to that, but I do also want to share my experience to make sure others do not experience the same.

My face and back of my shirt were soaked. I touched the back of my hair after the first shampoo and my hair was dry so told the lady and she wet it. Then she changed my soaked towel put in conditioner and said I'm leaving you for 10 min. I said wait, I gotta get to work. She said "you'll be put by 920". I said are you sure? It's 856am?? She said yes I promise. Came back washed the conditioner out. It's 9:02 and she said someone will be with you soon. I said you're telling me I will be out in 18 min and you're leaving me here. It'll take her less than 15 to blow dry my hair?? "Yes yes don't worry" she said. Soooo the stylist came to pick me up at 9:14!! She put her hand in my hair and said "your conditioner needs to be rinsed out" which is true bc the person who washed my hair did such a terrible job!! Another stylist said "no Swan washed it". That's the hair washer. Sooo I missed my work meeting bc I got out at 9:35. Got charged $50 for terrible service. I didn't tip. I said to Swan, you told me 3 times I would be out by 920 why would you say that? She said yeah I'm sorry. Never have I experienced such unprofessionalism at a hair salon

I visited Blo Blow Dry Bar in February so this review is a little late…read more I was a little skeptical after reading so many terrible reviews but I went ahead and took a chance and I am SO glad I did. My stylist was Marina and she is AMAZING. I am from Texas and wanted big Texas hair (very few stylist can achieve this) and she did a FANTASTIC job! I was getting compliments before I even left the mall where this dry bar is located and all night throughout the night I got compliments. I am still thinking about how amazing my hair looked and want to come back to Toronto just so you can do my hair again. Thank you Marina!!!! YOU ROCK!

Yorkville location: I've been a loyal Blo customer for many…read moreyears in Vancouver, going regularly for blowouts twice a month. The Vancouver locations have always shown excellent customer service and have consistently respected the longstanding relationship we built. On the rare occasions when something unexpected forced me to cancel outside the allowable window, they were always understanding and never penalized me. I recently moved to Toronto and have now had three appointments at Blo Yorkville -- and unfortunately the experience has been very different. My appointment was for 6:15pm, scheduled around my daughter's birthday dinner. I also had a long-awaited furniture delivery set for 3-4pm which ran significantly late. I called Blo's Toronto main number to explain the situation and ask about my options, and was told I would be charged the full amount if I didn't show. Wanting to avoid that, I chose to leave the delivery and rushed to my appointment. I arrived at 6:10pm, five minutes early. There was only one stylist working, and she informed me she didn't even know about my appointment. She was still working on another client and estimated a 10-15 minute wait -- but based on what I saw, it would likely be longer. With the salon closing at 7pm and the stylist still needing to finish her current client, it was clear I wouldn't receive proper service. Despite the fact that I arrived on time and was physically present, Blo Yorkville still charged my credit card as a "no-show." I did not miss the appointment -- they simply had no stylist available for the booking they confirmed. This was deeply disappointing, especially compared to the exceptional service I've always received from Blo in Vancouver. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and reviews both their scheduling practices and their approach to customer care. Loyal clients should not be penalized for the salon's own staffing issues.

Now with…read morethe restrictions lifted, no way can I wait another month to schedule a haircut at my regular spots. So I went out on a whim during the Civic holiday dialled around in Chinatown to see if I can walk in for an appointment. Let's be real, there is no day off in Chinatown. Lucky me! Jane was free on the first call, and I did not need to wait or book appointments! $22 for a women's cut with cash only! What what?!?! Remember to tip! I usually pay at least double for a haircut, and can I honestly say it's double the quality of what I get from Jane? Nope. Jane took an after pic of my haircut. I only wanted a basic B hair chop with minimal layers at the end and she nailed it. Whoops forgot to take the before pic for comparison. You'll just have to imagine the girl from the Ring, that's me, hair to my waist. Jane and I had a good chat. Her native tongue is Cantonese, and she's giving me tips on how to style my hair. She mentions now with the pandemic, her client base is much more diverse. For health and safety, she is always masked and I put on a transparent disposable salon gown. I was the only person there! Likely, people didn't know she kept the store opened on Civic holiday. The place is very spacious for one person operating the whole shop. Jane explains she operates all three chairs there and switching between chairs for the next client coming in so that the chair doesn't stay warm for the next person.

Once moving back to Canada it was nearly impossible to find a place that does good and reputable Brazilian Blowouts treatments. The day I found Rachelle was the happiest hair day ever!

After she is done with my hair I feel like a totally different person! My frizzy curls have turned smooth and straight and so so so manageable! Not only does your hair feel like silk, it dries so much faster as well. I do it about once every 3 months and love how my hair feels and looks now. Thank you Rachelle for everything!!!!

Used to be better? I've been here many years ago…read more I find the salon more cluttered than before. My usual stylist at another salon is on vacation so I figured I come back here for a trim. For a typical Japanese salon, I would give it 2.5 stars for the price and what I got. Came here for a haircut, maybe 3 inches to bring my hair back to above shoulder length and add some layers back to give it some shape with my fine hair. I'm used to Asian salons will have a good shampoo, head massage with the conditioner and another rinse through after the cut. Didn't get much of a massage. No 3rd rinse. It was literally 30 mins with Tomoyuki on the director level. Cut was fine. Nothing I am amazed with. Not sure if it's worth it. I think he rushed it because the customer next to me was just getting her hair rinsed out after colouring and/or treatment so he was going back to servicing her when I was done with my cut. Unlikely coming back. Some might like his speedy service though. He's polite. Just my expectations for this price I've had much better service with a decent haircut.

Jhade, David and I discussed the type of hair cut I wanted (aka... a wash and go style) and David walked Jhade through the techniques of how to cut my hair in that way.

I didn't really know of it as I just stumbled on it while exploring the second floor of Chinatown Mall. My first time was great. I was a walk-in and the ladies were able to accommodate my requirements for the dye and cut. Took about 2 and a half hours at the price of $90 for everything. Not bad at all. Second time I went back was spring of 2019 to get a trim had a male staff work on me. I felt the cut he did was over-layered and didn't try to ask much want I wanted. Third time was today, winter of 2019 and I loved it. I wanted to change up my style just a bit and decided to get see through bangs. As usual, no appointment and were able to see me with five minutes of settling in. They were fast, efficient and got what I asked for! The only con is that while they do accept debit, they much prefer cash. Attitude changes once they learn you're paying by card.
