I have a simple hair style so have used 5 different stylist and have been satisfied with all of them. In terms of cost I think it is fair for the quality you get.

I got my hair coloured and was a bit disappointed. I spent approximately $200 on my hair (just getting it coloured-nothing else) and for that price, you want to love it! I showed pictures and described what I wanted but, after coming home, my family and friends told me it barely looked different and I have to say I must agree which led to my disappointment as it wasn't what I asked for. I was also charged for toners and other treatments that I wasn't aware were being used nor asked if I wanted them!!

After a rather traumatic and expensive experience at another salon, the Bitter Wendigo saved my…read morehair! I am a naturally dark brown, curly haired person who had the aspiration to go blonde a little over a year ago. In order to get there my hair went through the gradual process of highlights, to an overall bleach wash, never truly getting my hair to match the vision of a platinum ashy blonde head that I was dreaming of. My last two visits at another salon, before finding the Bitter Wendigo, had left my hair 50 shades of crazy due to inconsistent toners and lazy applications. I was stressed and my hair was too! Cut to me panic searching "Oshawa hairstylist" through Instagram tags, and stumbling across the artfully curated feed of the Bitter Wendigo's very own, @dontbe.jaded. Jade's Instagram feed is mosaic of dreamy hair colour, styles, cuts, and even some edgy fashion inspiration. What had sold me the most is on her profile not only was there a story dedicated to her blonde hair portfolio, but you can directly book a free consultation or a regular appointment with the Bitter Wendigo. I did not hesitate to book a consult, because I knew at that point I had nothing to lose! Walking into the Bitter Wendigo, located in the up and coming downtown Oshawa, I was immediately put at ease with very cool set up of the salon. As you enter you see a thoughtfully decorated gallery/shelf archway around the front desk that leads you into the styling stations. If I could describe the aesthetic of this place it would be an artists/musician's cool city apartment?! Chatting with the stylists, I find out that I'm not too far off and that they have not only opened the place themselves, but they also have decorated it too. This isn't your run of the mill clinical/spa type feel salon, it's warm, interesting, unique - a reflection of the owner's, the magicians. The free consultation with Jade goes swimmingly and I am immediately put at ease. She asks about my hair journey, analyzes my hair and its condition, then asks what my expectations are. From there, she develops a game plan and explains to me in detail, each step of how she would approach getting my hair to where I want it to be with a price/time breakdown. I was so impressed and had nothing but confidence in her abilities. The big hair day comes and my outlook is completely different than my past experiences of sitting in a salon chair. Where I was once on edge and filled with uncertainty, I was now comfortable and optimistic. The stylists are very friendly down for a chat or a comfortable silence, they let you just "do you". There's coffee, water, tea and just all around good vibes. The four or so hours in the chair pass comfortably and I cannot wait to see the end result. My hair is bomb. Dope. Cool. The platinum/ashy/pearly/bouncy blonde curly hair of my dreams?! Gone are the bands of strange orange/blue/muddy tones. I am shook. Jade is a scientist/magician/fairy god mother. 100/10. Would recommend. pictures attached below. If you are looking to try something new or don't know where to go or what to do, go to the Bitter Wendigo!!!

Although the front desk service is still top notch, this place has high turnover and quality has gone down. In the past year I have gone through 3 stylists, because they keep leaving! I need stability people. Someone who understand my hair and what I like, so I can enjoy my trip to the salon. In the past year I have returned home with a terrible hair cut because none of the 3 hair stylists understood my hair. They didn't have the time to! If you can get a stylist who will stick by you for a few years, then I'm sure Aquilibrium will be a great place to go. However, based on my recent experiences they have turned away a loyal customer. The hunt for a new stylist begins!

The front desk is friendly, professional and is exactly what I would expect from my own establishment so kudos for that. Unfortunately, I will not return to this place because the girl who cut my hair ruined it. I should have known going with a junior stylist wasn't smart - you always get what you pay for. Additionally, she was cold and didn't say a word to me. Even when I tried to engage her in conversation she was very short. It was like trying to squeeze water from a rock. The salon is generic and like every other salon out there. I did not like the atmosphere at all. It could of just been me but the people there felt very "bougie bougie"
