Since COVID hit in March, I haven't had any professional hair maintenance. So I was scared. But I must confess - this is coming from someone who hates getting my hair cut even in the best of times- this place was great. My hair was shorn to the agreed length. The products used were excellent quality. The cost was reasonable. I will be back here for sure!

This was the absolute best hair experience I have ever had. I've always been a bit nervous about…read moregoing to a salon. After all - your putting your future style in someone else's hands. Literally. However I booked the appointment hoping for the best. And I was not disappointed in the slightest. I was greeted at the door by a very friendly face - the same person who was cutting my hair. I came on for a cut, however you will see in the attached photo my hair was kind of... terrible. I called it seaweed. I had a terrible orange band of colour (from a box dye kit I used a while back.. pro tip. Dont do that lol) the roots were blue and the ends were green. In other words. A mess. Not even a hot one. Anyway. I digress. I had problem hair. So number one was to freshen my cut. Make it even, layer it, give it a side shave and keep the length. My stylist Natalia Titoud did an AMAZING job. Like I said however, I had initially come in for only a cut. While she was washing my hair I asked about colour - to make a long story shorter she said she could most certainly do that too. She also had time which was fantastic. Not only was she able to fix my awful hair - she gave me confidence. She also worked under my time constraint (as I had work that day) in a very professional manner. I will most definitely be going back. I have never been more satisfied with a salon experience in my life. My stylist was amazing. And even more so, the other staff were fantastic too! Helping each other out without hesitation when required. Friendly and relaxing environment. Yep. It's safe to say I would reccomend this salon to anyone. I waited a while to review this place as I wanted to see how my colour got along. It's been about two weeks and I have never had so many compliments on my hair. Ever. Also, the colour is still vibrant and as beautiful as the day it was done. I am. Very impressed. Many thanks again to my stylist Natalia Titoud and the La Vita salon and spa staff! An incredible experience that left me feeling beautiful and confident. Thank you! The photos were taken and the hair was styled/cut by Natalia Titoud.

I took a chance going here for the first time because my beloved hairdresser left her salon and I…read morehad no forwarding information. I got blonde highlights and a cut with Zhala. I could tell instantaneously she was a hair expert in the way she handled my thin fine hair. She was so gentle, and gave me beautiful icy highlights. She also cut my hair into exactly what I asked for. Despite having thin hair most hairdressers talk me out of layers but I wanted them and she didn't try to talk me out of it and just gave me an expert haircut that was exactly what I asked for. So impressed and happy to have found my New go to hairdresser!

What a rip off this place is. So unprofessional. I arrived on time for a morning haircut apt (so…read morethere wouldn't be any backlog). Gosha was late starting and kept me waiting a long time. Once I got in the chair, it seemed like she didn't know how to cut hair. She just touched it and examined the strands of hair piece by piece. It was very strange - it seemed like Gosaha had never seen hair before in her life. She took forever to get started and forever to finish the trim and I thought thank God I can get the F out of here but no...she had the nerve to walk away without saying a word with my damp hair starting to air-dry into a friz. I assumed she was going to get product but she started another customer. At this point it was nearly two hours and and I had to take a piss and get my day going. I almost wish I would have ripped the bib off and left but I sat there like a fool waiting. My day was wasted and the cut was nothing good. I could have gotten the same at the ten dollar dump and still had my Saturday to enjoy. Do not go the Aura or to Hosha, this place is a sham. They call it high-end because the give you a coffee but I don't go to a salon for a coffee or waste my day - I have a damn life. I heard they are closed, if so I'm glad. If they deserve to gtfoh.

I have decided, this is the only place I am getting my hair done after my first visit... Unless I…read moream moving to another province. My sister in law took me to this salon to get my hair coloured or highlight. My hair stylist provides me lots of good information and also good advise for my hair colour. He is very honest... He only does what he needs to do... Like do partial highlight when that is only what I need for my visit. Unlike some other places always tell you to do full package when you don't need it yet. I have done highlight at other places before and never got any compliment. With him, I am not only getting compliments from my friends, I am getting stopped by strangers who tell me they love my hair style and colour highlight. Not only I am satisfy with my visit at Aura salon, my little princess is also very spoiled with her princess hair cut every time she goes there. The price for kids is reasonable... Especially if you are taking your kids to melon head, take them to Aura salon. All staff there are so friendly and they work as a team!!!

I have never ever had a bad experience here. The staff is nice and funny and will always suggest things for your hair if you have no idea what to do with it. It took me years to find a good hairdresser and they won me over. Take it in that I am super picky with my hair:)

Just Cut, No Talk, "Get 'Er Done" type place…read more Contrary to the other reviews, my experience at Young & Beauty Spa wasn't a positive one. When a friend & I arrived for an appointment, the hairdresser that we asked for, as per the other reviews, was busy cutting someone else's hair. No biggie, we'll just sit and flip through mags. After telling him what I wanted to do with my hair and asking him what type of look he thought would suit me, Tony was more or less unresponsive. I tried to talk to him, engage him in friendly banter and he wasn't having it. When he would respond, it would be a one word answer. I asked for bangs, he just said that longer ones would be better, so he never really cut the hair the way I wanted. At one point, he was soo rushed, while combing my hair down, he clipped my ear quite a few times...and he wasn't gentle either. Setting: Music was reminiscent of something that would be played at a Thai brothel! eg. George Michael's "Careless Whisper", Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly" = DEPRESSING! The damn loop played twice while I was there. Also all the "hairdressers" were wearing flip-flops and one even walked by, taking a bite out of a nectarine. So this'll give you an idea of what you're signing up for. YES, the cut was like $20 and he looked precise with his cutting technique. However, I think I'd rather pay more to someone who was more interactive. My hair was never washed, so I guess you get what you pay for! Many customers walked in, no appt, and asked for Tony who, to me, just seemed overworked, and overall uninspired. After he was done with my friend, she came to me, and asked if her hair was even on both sides...it wasn't! It was like 0.5" longer on one side. She went back to Tony, who was already on someone else, and told him about her hair, and he tried to convince her that it was even. She asked him to get a ruler to measure it 'cause it was totally off. He didn't really say anything, but begrudgingly cut the other side.

If there were zero stars I would rate this salon a zero. Firstly, at the Appleby Location there is…read moreno receptionist so it is hard to book an appointment. The hair stylists or estheticians answer the phone. When I called Philip the owner personally about this concern he booked my appointment for a manicure and pedicure. When I arrived at the salon at my appointed time I found that only a manicure appointment was booked. This; as a birthday present was extremely disappointing. I checked on the website to check their prices and it was erroneously advertised as $70.00 online. I brought the exact amount of cash. Therefore; I did not have the amount needed and was told that the prices were incorrect on the website and had not been corrected. I am extremely disappointed in the way this establishment conducts their business. I am very appalled at the treatment I received from Philip the owner who represents his business. This soured my birthday which should have been a joyous occasion. Barb, the esthetician is very professional and so are the employees that worked there,

I had long dead dry hair and after asking her to cut it medium length with long bangs she cut it exactly the way I asked. Overall, look was great. She has great taste in aesthetic.
