The business is in a converted old house and it's very cool. I saw Sydney for my appointment and she was professional and experienced. She did an amazing job on my hair and I am very happy with the results. I will definitely be returning!

They used semi permanent and said it would fade as her natural hair grew out. It lasted 3 weeks! And they wouldn't do anything about it after me calling. I paid 150$ for her to have a different color for 3 weeks. Very disappointed, had they clearly said it would fade it weeks, I would have told them to do permanent. Businesses should stand behind what they do, and ensure that customers are satisfied. Sadly won't ever go there again.

My boyfriend and I used to come here all the time when our hair stylist was still working here…read more When she left we tried the other stylists which were all decent, but apparently the owner is quite the douche and started making the stylists charge full price for a quick touch ups. $40 plus tip just to clean up my sides. I had my hair buzzed a couple weeks prior, so I hardly had any hair to begin with. I was taken aback when I paid almost $50 to trim a few hairs. Heard that the owner also treats his staff very poorly. I'm glad that we were able to track down our old stylists at her new shop. She has never charged us outrageous prices for a quick touchup like this establishment's owner does.

Probably the worst place I have ever gone. I have never in my life been treated so poorly than the…read moreway I was treated here. The place is not very taken care of, the receptionist just sits on Facebook and her phone doing nothing. The stylists are talking about things that don't need to be talked about infront of clients . Oh and the owner. Don't get me started on the owner, Lawrence is it? Yes. If you want to feel like a nobody. Go see him! I have been going there quite often & usually I see the same person, this time I saw someone else, & it was HELL. I showed her a picture of what I wanted & she more or less told me what she was going to look good -- I thought hey she's a stylist, she's a pro she couldn't screw it up too bad right? Wrong! She did something completely different than I has asked for, she didn't even ask me what I thought of it, she was MIA the whole time the color was sitting in my hair. right away she said it looked orange & I should use a toning shampoo to make it look better. I looked in the mirror right away & I wanted to cry. What has she done to my hair? It looked disgusting, it is orange & black, chunky oh & very fried!!!! I complained right away & said I wanted it fixed & they told me I could call & get it fixed for free! I was soo appreciative. I booked in for a fix, I've had my hair up since since it makes me feel absolutely insecure! I was than told 2 days after that I would not be getting a free fix, because it's 1 not fair to the stylist ( because I booked in with a different stylist because I was NOT letting Wynn? I think her name was. Touch my hair ever again.) & this was through a text from one of their stylists who the owner asked to message me? Real professional on the owners part. So I than call & ask to speak to him. & all he has to say is nothing he can do & I cannot have a fix & that was that., he said some hurtful things & not to mention he said if I couldn't afford a fix I couldn't afford that salon? & that they could just get new clients Really? Why should I have to pay for a fix? That makes no sense! I was a loyal paying client aswell? It's been almost 2 weeks my hair is still up in a pony tail & they refuse to do anything for me. Let's be honest my hair looks like shit. Isn't the whole point to make clients feel good about themselves? I will never go back again. I have told all my family & friends as well, there was a discussion on my Facebook about it aswell. So many people complained about the way Lawrence had treated them, not very good customer service if so many people are unhappy. It's a small town people talk. Oh did I mention the stylist that offered to fix my hair. He fired? Ohhh such a professional place! Go to Cochrane angles if you want to be treated terribly & hate your hair!!!!

My last hair cut was by a charming frenchman in Montreal, but I could no longer ignore my split…read moreends. Seeing that he was half a country away, I figured I ought to track down a skilled stylist here. On the basis of some very positive reviews right here on Yelp!, I decided to take the plunge. I'm super vain about my hair, so getting it cut is a big deal for me. I was super pleased with Stacey, my stylist, and with the whole salon. First of all, I came in early and they were super polite and talked about getting me in ASAP. I got hooked up with some delicious tea in the small waiting area, enjoying the atmosphere. It was very open concept, chic and open, and it didn't feel crowded at all. Love, love loved how gorgeous the interior was, which is exactly what I want in a salon. Loved getting my hair washed, although I was a little disappointed with the lack of scalp massage :( Stacey asked what I wanted, and totally consulted with me the whole time. She also listened to me chatter along the whole time. I love my one-inch shorter hair (I also like it when people listen to me when I explain that I'm growing my hair out). I adore my new hair cut, and while it wasn't cheap it was definitely worth it. Also, their pricing is comparable to most major salons anyways. And my hair remains wonderful. Perfect.

Fabulous salon! A…read moregirlfriend and I were headed to Calgary to celebrate my birthday weekend and during our drive we decided we wanted blowouts in order to look our most spectacular for our night on the town. The Ginger Group was the first salon to pop up on Google and the receptionist was happy to get us in that afternoon (which came to a surprise quite frankly, because it was a Saturday, after all). Once we arrived we were kindly greeted and met by our stylists right away. Unfortunately, I forgot the name of the gentleman who tended to my messy locks... but he did have a station right next to another gentleman who, to our excitement, frequently had his bow-tie-wearing weiner dog roam the salon. That was a cute touch. The space itself, was perfect also, with its lofty vibe and industrialized pieces. I, personally love a laid-back environment without the snobbery that comes with certain uptight salons. My girlfriend showed up with her hair drenched in coconut oil from the night before, and was extremely worried about being judged by her stylist due to the fact she too, had worked in a salon with women who were umempathetic toward clients behind their backs. Our stylists were phenomenal. The female who worked on my friend was super understanding about the oil and casually chatted her up about our plans for the evening. As did my stylist. They were both kind, informative, and talented professionals. Our hair looked fabulous the entire night and carried all the way into the following day. Thank you for the wonderful experience and allowing me to look fierce on my special day!
