    Brian did a great job with his advice and recommendations, with the new color process, cut and highlights. Service was wonderful.

    Booked in immediately. Brian gave me the best cut I've had since moving to Nanaimo! The character home is so lovely, a wonderful find!

    I got a poor haircut here. Furthermore, the hairdresser kept leaving the room, so the whole thing took a very long time. Not recommended.

    Probably one of the best places to get your hair cut in Nanaimo. Cute building, good service. I will continue to go there.

    My mom and I both got our hair done, and were very happy with our results. 10/10 would recommend.

    I need to warn everyone about my recent experience with 2545 Salon & Spa (875 Gibsons Way #102)…read more On October 14, 2025 I paid $93.45 (tax in) for an "Unlimited Monthly Tanning Pass". What actually happened: -Used it successfully only three times. -Next three visits (during posted hours) the salon was randomly closed. The first 2 times had no notice. The third time, just a sticky note saying "understaffed, appointments only and to call the Sechelt location. -I called asking what was going on and if I could get a refund or extension since I tried numerous times to use my package. It's only for a month so I only have so much time to use it and when the hours on google are posted as OPEN, I should be able to access the beds. Owner Lauralye replied by email, said I was being aggressive on the phone and banned me. Completely false information. I never even raised my voice so this one threw me for a loop. When I kept asking for my money back, she permanently banned me in the same email thread. They offered a partial refund which was never received. I left a 100% factual 1-star Google review with receipts attached they got it removed/hidden. Now they are leaving themselves fake google review. Laughable. When I kept pushing, they threatened me with legal action and accused me of being "aggressive" (I have every email -- I was nothing but polite the entire time). Zero refund, zero apology. So yeah - they have no problem stealing people's hard-earned money, then threatening to sue you if you dare speak up. I cannot believe I have to go through this for ninety-three freaking dollars that they simply decided to keep. I have my receipt, and the entire email chain (including the ban, the legal threats, the fake "aggressive" accusation, and the deleted review). Happy to privately show everything to anyone who messages me. Please think twice before you hand this place any prepaid money - tanning packages, gift cards, whatever. I've now had to file with Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT) and my credit card company for a chargeback. Just posting this so nobody else in Gibsons loses almost $100 and then gets threatened for daring to complain. Sad that it has come to this but I have exhausted every option and tried my best to deal with this privately. Unfortunately I have been pushed too far. It's almost Christmas and these days, every dollar makes a difference. This is my hard earned money after all. Support local... but not when the local business keeps your money, deletes your review, and threatens to sue you for telling the truth.

    I had a manicure and pedicure done as well as a trim. This was my first time at the salon. I was…read moredisappointed. The person at the front was not particularly attentive. I had to wait a few minutes out front. I was not offered any refreshments. The technician was friendly, but the service I selected did not include all the parts of a manicure, when I asked about it I was informed that the service I chose did not include it, I wasn't offered an upgrade. During filing, I had to point out several areas where the nail had not been completely smoothed out. When I left the salon I noticed that the polish was a bit streaky and thin in some areas. Overall, it was not the pampering spa experience I had looked forward to. It was expensive and I don't think the service matched the price. This is something I had splurged on. The room was painted dark or black and had signs of wear and tear everywhere. The lighting was too bright, and the bed was covered in obviously well-used and worn towels. Music was irritating not relaxing. Next time I will go somewhere else, or wait until I'm in the city where service is better.
