I went to Camilla and she is great, really happy with how my blonde turned out. I'm really particular & she blended my roots wonderfully. Got toner spot on also. I like that the products they use aren't overpowering either with the artificial fragrance. The salon itself is pretty basic, nothing fancy or over the top. They offer tea or drinks, which is really appreciated I'd recommend Camilla for blondes and will return. read more

one of the worst cuts ever, yesterday. nafesh Said she had 8 yrs experience, and was a senior stylist. English was passable. her experience was not. the cut is uneven, long on top, very short on the sides. the look is lop sided. 53$ wasted. service was fine, on time, and receptionist pleasant. read more

Had to wait 20 minutes after my appointed time, and had to walk out of the store and into a CIBC bank to get cash, because they apparently don't take credit like literally any other store. Inconvenient. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. My hair was not messed up once but twice at this salon. The first time I went in my hair was already light and I've attached the image that I showed of what I wanted. Instead what I ended up leaving with was darker hair and yellow looking bangs - even the bangs I asked for were curtain bangs and it was nowhere close to them. The colour along with the haircut she gave me was the worst service I've had done to my hair (and I've had my hair done for almost 10 years now) I cried once I got home because that is how much I hated the hair. I decided to call salon multiple times to get ahold of the owner to see if someone could fix my hair. I didn't even want the original picture anymore since my hair had been turned so dark and I knew I wouldn't be able to achieve that hair anymore. After waiting a week, I was finally able to speak to the owner and was told that I'd have to have the same stylist, Cassia, fix my hair because that is their policy. I expressed that I'd prefer someone else but was told it had to be her. I decided to go in and show what my hair looks like and what can be done to fix it. I was told that because my hair is so dark it's hard to see the highlights ... even though the dark was applied by the stylist on my already light hair ... The haircut was also butchered the first time but I decided to fix that myself and just wanted the stylist to fix the colour. At the moment I didn't know what I wanted because I really couldn't tell what could even be done to the hair to get it fixed but I made an appointment two weeks from that day and hoped in that time I could decide what I wanted done with my hair. After the second appointment, my hair just looks horrible, again. I asked for the bangs to match new highlights that I wanted around my face, the money piece. Instead what I left with was multiple shades in my hair. The "highlights" that were put in are not blended, half the hair is not toned and there are streaks of orange ... even though I asked the stylist to leave the toner in longer; she left it in only for 10 minutes, which left me with brassy hair and multiple tones. In the salon hair looked fine so I said thank you and left. As I sat in my car and looked at the hair I noticed all the different tones and the blending. 5 minutes later I go back in the salon and express my dissatisfaction with the hair to another stylist that was at the front desk; I was told that Cassia was not there anymore. Not sure how she disappeared in 5 minutes but very very unprofessional in my opinion. I was told I can make another appointment with another stylist to get it fixed but I really don't know why I would go a THIRD time. Both the times that I spoke with her I tried to be very nice despite the fact that I was really angry. Now I am out of almost $200 and left with shit looking hair that I need to figure out how to fix. Attached are all the images of my hair. I am honestly so fucking angry. If she didn't know how to work with my hair or achieve the look I asked for she should've been upfront about it and the owner should've had someone else fix it the second time. The salon may be a teaching salon but my hair is not for experiment. The biggest mistake I made was going to this salon a second time and hoping they'd be able to fix it given the opportunity. read more

Best salon in north van always happy with their talented stylists and fantastic service.

I almost don't want to write this review in fear that the world will get out. Because right now Marie-josee is my best kept secret and I LOVE HER! I have had some hair woes over the years. My original Vancouver stylist and I broke up due do communication issues, and since then I've had a long run of horrible hair nightmares and flaky stylists. Marie was recommended by a good friend and so I thought I'd give her a try gearing up for my new job. I walked in to (a very gorgeous) salon, and sat down in her chair. I had wanted a balayage but after my last experience (wherein my stylist didn't lift my hair long enough and I ended up with reddy orange tips) I decided I would just settle for an all over colour. I communicated this and Marie said it would be nice to throw some highlights in to accent my face and break up the colour a bit. I explained my anxiety, she understood and said she knew we could do it and even showed me a picture of what she was thinking (which ironically was exactly what I had wanted). Long story short I walked out with beautiful subtle tone-on-tone highlights and a promise that we would add more later on. I went back a second time and we added some more highlights, gave my hair a nice little trim, and I left feeling beautiful and like a million dollars. This girl is AMAZING at colour. The salon itself is clean and bright, and uses Milkshake, Kevin Murphy and Loma products. My long stint of trying to find a new stylist is over, thank god. Marie is the best. read more

I wanted to leave a review after such an amazing experience at Techniks with Stephanie. She greeted me at the door and made me feel very welcomed and at home. My skin was very dry prior to coming in for this facial and Stephanie educated me about makeup and why my skin was so dry. The facial itself was very relaxing and I loved that she didn't rush. (Ive been to some places where it feels like they are rushing to finish you and get you out of the door). At the end of the service she sat with me and gave me a few samples to take home and try which I ended up loving. I would highly suggest this service to anyone, I left with my skin feeling hydrated, refreshed and younger looking. I'll definitely be back:) read more

The cuts are fine. The issue I have is their booking system. I work close by and they are convenient for me but booking an appointment is a nightmare. They do not have a receptionist with a centralized system so when you call in, they will give you a stylist's number to call. I did this few times, and most of the time the stylist doesn't pick up the phone or get back to you. I walked in there today to make an appointment only to be given someone's business card. I am done. I don't want to jump through hoops to make an appointment. There is gotta be a better way, Techniks. If you are reading these, get your booking system streamlined. A customer that calls in is a potential profit for you. If you redirect them, you lose profit. If you are so cavalier about how you run your booking, then why bother having a business? I was ready to spend money that will be spent somewhere else and I am sure I am not the only one. read more

This is the second time I've made an appointment and upon showing up they've had no idea who I was or any clue about any appointment. Despite having confirmed their text message that confirms I did have an appointment booked. Horrible staff and horrible service do not come here unless you want your time wasted. read more

I went here once before after getting a sweet discount on a special for a wax. I thought I could also come here to have my hair done. I phoned up and asked for an appointment for Saturday for a cut and wash. The girl that answered asked if I wanted to see Stephanie. Stephanie was the gal that did my wax and I knew that she didn't do hair. I said no, I need a hair cut. Then she replied, oh I'm sorry I thought you wanted a facial. I said no and repeated that I needed a hair cut and if there was anyone there available for a Saturday appointment. She said she would have to have someone call me back to see if that can be arranged. I'm astonished that a front desk person, in this instance, a front desk vegetable, needed to ask if booking an appointment at a hair salon would be ok for one of the stylists. I let her take my name and number just so I hope that someone will call me so I can complain. No one has. read more

I have been a client here for just over a year and Kim and her team are simply amazing. If you live on the North Shore and want an amazing hair salon close home this is your must have go to place! Great vibe, very experienced yet affordable stylists who are consistent and accommodating. read more

I recently was lucky enough to go to techniks studio for a hair cut and then a hair show. I got to experience what the salon is like on the regular plus how the team works together in an outside setting with possibly a little bit of added performance stress as well. I can say not a single thing about the group besides everything is amazing. From the gal Sasha who cut my hair to Shelly from Wales with her amazing skills and fantastic vibe and Jeff the top dog with style oozing from his obviously over qualified and extremely talented self. They were organised and gracefully and classy in every aspect. The other staff were also amazing as I was fortunate enough to witness all of them interacting and things moved smoothly from start to finish because of everyone. They do amazing hair, they are beyond considerate and thoughtful. There's a good vibe throughout. I would recommend this salon to anyone and everyone and I give it a 10. read more

I have tried to book an appointment here for 5 days with Stephanie the Wax person. Like the Review below I have been told "we will call you back" about 6 times. I was trying to get waxed before vacation and had prepaid for a groupon here so when they didn't respond, i still waited because i had already paid. It is now a day before my trip still with no appointment I went to another wax place who gladly took me in day of on her lunch because I told her this story. I have now received a refund from groupon because i=of this experience and will not be giing this business my money. If you guys are reading this, if you say you're going to call someone back CALL THEM BACK and also like said in the other review it's ridiculous that if you call the salon they can't book you and have o check with someone else. It makes it impossible to book an appointment because of the lack of coordination. read more

After trying almost every hair salon in North Vancouver I finally found the one. I have booked with Kim a few times now and she is an amazing colourist and stylist. It is comfortable and all the staff are super friendly and knowledgable. The new location is gorgeous and well designed. I highly recommend this salon. read more
