So glad Thair is open again for haircuts. I got my haircut by Traci, the owner. She's amazing &…read moreI've been coming here for years. The new location is even closer to the subway exit at Ranleigh. They were at a different spot on Yonge street before. This location now is larger, on the ground floor & more open. I love it. The front of the salon has shelves with the products they sell. It also serves as the reception area with two chairs & a desk where their receptionist is. Then beyond that you will see the salon chairs where all the cutting & hair colouring takes place. In the middle of the first floor are the basins for washing peoples hair. There's a space behind the basins with a big long table where the manicures get done. Then at the back of the salon is a single bathroom. I've been told the facials & massages get done on the lower level. I haven't been down there yet but I'm booked for a facial in three weeks so I'll update my review afterwards. Traci cut my hair on this occasion & I asked her to cut it shorter than usual. She washed my hair & then the cut itself took about 40-25 minutes. We chatted during the cut. I haven't been to the salon since October 2020 because of covid. Traci did an amazing job on me as usual. Since it was super humid & hot the day I came I asked for no blow dry. So she just added some styling product to my hair & I was ready to go! I got some hydrating hand sanitizer to try & asked about the NuFace machines. They gave me lots of info on NuFace which is a microcurrent machine used to help improve your skin. They use it in their facials too. I'm going to save up & get one in the future. Anyway I really recommend this place as they are eco-friendly. They also have great service, great staff. Love the way their salon looks too. Expect to pay for quality. This is not one of those places that charges $12 for a haircut. For me their prices are totally worth it as my whole experience here from start to finish is golden. Their products being eco-friendly are pricier than drug store finds too. But if eco-friendly & non-toxic is important to you this is the place to go to.

I have just shown her a picture from Instagram as my hair inspiration and she just did her magic! I love how gentle and relaxing her hands were. Her combing and brushing techniques were not rough on the scalp. She entertained me too with her stories as we had a girl chat during the session. If you'd like to have a total makeover with your dull, colored hair into a striking, beautiful balayage, you deserve to have Gemmy! My mom also loved the keratin treatment she received from Gemmy's talents! I highly recommend people to book their appointments with Gemmy ;)

You will find Nina Sugaring inside of Elysia Beauty Bar...so don't be confused when you can't find…read morea storefront with "Nina Sugaring" on it. Walk up the two flight of outdoor stairs and enter the beauty bar. You will go straight down the hall, turn left and Nina is located at the first door on the left. Cute beauty bar offering a bunch of different services. Now let's get to talking about Nina and her sugaring! Can we say perfectionist...because that is what Nina is. I have been getting waxed or sugared for well over a year now and I can say that Nina is the best I have ever come across. I have been to others that were quicker but NONE that make sure the job is completely done. I went in for a maintenance appointment which took about 35 minutes. It was not more or less painful that what it normally is but Nina provides great conversation throughout and ensures you are comfortable...in a situation where most would not be. Her price cannot be beat and the quality is just something you don't find very often when it comes to this type of work. There is no other person I would ever go to but Nina. FYI: There is parking on Kingsdale just past the Beauty Bar...super convenient and very reasonably priced.

I came here a few weeks ago to get my hair cut and coloured red. The haircut was fine, but the…read moreshade of red was quite far off from what I asked for - I asked for a warm, copper-ish colour, but the final result was significantly darker, not to mention a much cooler shade of red (bordering on a plum-ish colour). So I emailed asking to discuss a possible refund or re-do appointment. Reasonable, right? I would have accepted a simple no, but instead, the owner sent me a crazy rant accusing me of being a customer who came in ages ago and left without paying. This is impossible for a few reasons, but mainly: I just moved to Cabbagetown a few months ago, and would never have travelled over an hour from my old address to get my hair done here. I'd never even heard of this place until a month ago. I tried to call and explain to resolve the issue, but she didn't let me talk and called me all kinds of names, cussed me out, and threatened to call the cops. It's very unfortunate that someone stole from this salon, but that someone was not me, and accusing me of that and acting the way she did was totally unacceptable.

I've been going to Hairender for electrolysis treatments on my upper lip for a few months, and I am…read moreextremely happy with every aspect of my treatment. First of all, the results have been amazing. Every time I see regrowth, there are fewer and fewer hairs. The process really works. I'm looking forward to having a totally hair-free upper lip! The standards of hygiene and cleanliness are obviously very high, and the office is a pleasant environment, with what seems to me to be very advanced equipment. They use a kind of magnifying scope thing so they can really focus in on each hair. The price is very reasonable. I had always assumed that electrolysis was very expensive, but that's not the case. They were able to tell me the price per session over the phone before I came for my initial assessment, and have been very upfront about how many sessions I'm likely to need as my treatment has progressed. As someone on a student budget, I really appreciate that. The electrologist I see, Caren, is unbelievably kind and friendly (she's so great, I actually look forward to my treatments!), and incredibly skilled. She gets every single hair, and even though I have a really low pain threshold, she manages to make the process as comfortable as possible. It's really not painful, it just stings a tiny bit. I would recommend Hairender to anyone and everyone who struggles with unwanted hair. I used to have to wax my upper lip really frequently, and I would have to pluck my regrowth literally every day, and even then, the new hairs would often be visible under the surface of my skin. Electrolysis is freeing me from that burden, and really improving my appearance. I am so happy that I chose Hairender!
