I've given this salon multiple chances and unfortunately continue to leave unhappy. My most recent…read morevisit was $250 for a root touch-up and long layers. Within 4 weeks the colour faded unevenly and turned brassy, and the roots did not blend. The layers removed too much density and made my hair feel thin and wispy. Nowhere near to the reference photo style. I declined a $90 gloss and feel the colour service relied on that to correct poor formulation. Permanent dye is also being repeatedly pulled through hair that's already been coloured giving it a dry, patchy look. On another visit, I asked for soft fringe bangs using a clear reference photo, but they were cut wet and left choppy and uneven! This is like basic hair technique 101!

I've been going to Citrus Hair Salon for around 8 years. I've had several wonderful hair experts…read morehelp when my favourite person Amanda Shires wasn't available but I try to make sure that she's the only one I see. She knows my hair better than I do. We've gone through a bunch of different hair colours over the years, I used to dye my hair and started disliking the dark root look, so when Covid hit, I decided that I would start to grow our my natural colour. As a professional musician, our band is always having photos done, I didn't want to look grey, I wanted to somehow keep a hint of blonde but maintain a somewhat natural look with my salt and pepper coming in. I discussed this with Amanda who knew exactly what to do, she suggested foils and we've been doing foils ever since. I would never go to any other salon. Citrus Hair Salon is so classy, from the wonderful staff that greets you at the door to the person popping by with snacks. They have fantastic communication, you get a phone call and a text if your stylist is running late. The salon itself is very stylish, the wash area seats are soft and padded and you never get neck strain unlike other salons when your hair is being washed plus they have an array of wonderful products. If you like hair extensions - they have those too! Amanda is not only an expert with colours and styles, she's an incredibly beautiful and kind, smart, charismatic human. There needs to be more stars available to add to this review - great doesn't quite match the service and quality, it should say extraordinary. Thank you Amanda for taking such good care of me all these years and to the owner and all the staff as well. It's easy to write a bad review, I wish more people would write reviews when people and establishments are outstanding.

Names provided on their website. Sitting in my styling chair and having Kim take care of me, I was actually quite impressed. Not only was she a delight to deal with but she's an absolute expert at what she does...I received exactly what I was looking for. I was really enjoying myself...the energy, the vibe and knowing I was in good hands with Kim who was cutting my hair for the first time. I was in this Zen place thinking to myself in my chair ....finally I found my salon. ........................Until At the end, as I was checking out.....Luna charged me $120. I reminded her that actually Kim's fee for a woman's cut on the website is $100. She mentioned that this is the minimum and that it can increase based on the length of hair, quality of hair...and this and that....which is funny because they call you before the appointment and ask you all that stuff, but don't mention any price increase, until you have to pay....lol I asked her again and she said, the website is not accurate... wow...ok.... Anyhoo, I did find it a little disingenuous especially considering that Kim my stylist mentioned it was easy to cut my hair because of how healthy it is...so why the extra charge then?..... Anyway, moving on....Kim gave me a great cut and she's worth every dollar. What really pissed me off was something else..... I was paying cash, and as I handed Luna my bills she asked would you like change back? I said yes. Twice she asked me and then gave me this look like you're not leaving a tip?! She asked me again, you want ALL of it back?...Yes, I said....As I wanted to manage the tip situation with Kim herself upon a little chat before heading out. What made this even worse was, as Luna was giving me back my change...she dropped every single nickel, dime and Loonie on the desk. Before giving me ....this judgemental look. Every single minute of that enjoyable experience in that salon before checkout crashed and burned. Ok....I'll tell you....it wasn't even the money. I felt judged. I did speak with Kim afterwards outside only to be fair, as I wanted her to know, because she is a great stylist. However, it is exactly due to people like the front desk girl Luna cashing me out that I will not return here. I'm sad to say. Hair salons are like any other businesses. Reception is everything. The first thing the customers experiences and the last thing the customer leaves with...either brings them back or not. Interestingly, Upon arrival, the front girl was someone else and her energy and service matched an upscale environment, professional and courteous. Pity for them she wasn't the one at the front as I was leaving. If you are the reception for the evening, it is not your business how much tip clients leave or choose not to leave. It is however, your business to problem solve which she didn't do. At all. "The website is not accurate" is all she gave me with a blank stare. She didn't even attempt to ask or consult my stylist about the fee confusion, or to ask management to look into the matter and honor what could have simply been an honest misunderstanding. She just dropped my change as you would throw a street performer without a second thought, as to customer satisfaction or your own professional responsibility to the salon and its owner. If it weren't for Kim's great cut they'd only get 1 star.

Once seated, he asked me what kind of hair style I wanted to get. I described to him, the length and the image I wanted. Then he told me to move to the hair washing station, he washed my hair and gave me head massage. When I get back to my seat, he gave me mini shoulder massage. It was a very relaxing experience! We had a bit of casual conversation throughout the haircut experience, about his background and where he came from. I specifically asked for short bangs and he asked my daily routine.

The price is slightly more expensive than with other stylist or other places, but it is totally justifiable. Nit, on the website, it says that haircut include eyebrow cut, but he did not offer it maybe due to COVID-19?

I made an appointment for a haircut. Usually a haircut means including shampoo and blow dry. If I…read morewant a single cut only I would specify that. However, when I sat down, Ada start to cut my hair and spraying water. I thought maybe she will wash my hair later. She didn't; she just said she would put some moroccan oil on my hair because my hair was dry. I was skeptical about it because when I was at another hair salon, the hairstylist put the moroccan oil after my hair has been washed. Then she asked Richard to turn on the curler. I felt odd because I didn't ask for my hair to be curly. I was the last customer of the day. She just kept cutting and then she curled the ends of my hair. She said, "I want you to have a different style. Do you know the star XXX? She looks nice with this hairstyle." But that is not what I'd asked for; I just want my hair to be straight with layers and the ends trimmed. She also said," I bought the curler for $100 but now curlers are so cheap, only $40 something. You see how I curled the hair? I will teach you next time." It was strange that she said that; no hairstylists would say that when they curled your hair. It was 30 degrees outside but she asked Richard to turn off the air conditioning. Saving electricity? I don't know why. She kept cutting then she asked me to stand up to let her see my hair. She said she would see my hair better if I stand up. If she cannot cut my hair using the mirror nor just by looking at my face while I was sitting, she is genuinely unprofessional. This is the first time that a hairstylist asked me to stand up in order for him/her to cut the hair. The phone rang after a few seconds, I sat down as she went to answer the phone. When she took off the towel on my shoulder and the protective coat that I wore after she finished cutting my hair. She said. "Wait, your hair." The she cut the ends of my hair again on my shirt and she said, "Don't move" as her scissor was close to my neck. It is really unprofessional for the hairstylists to cut the hair again after they took off the towel and the protective coat. She charged me the price of a single cut at the end. However, I never ask for a single cut only; I expect the haircut includes shampoo and blow dry. Also, I, the client, shouldn't need to stand up for her to see and to cut my hair; that just means she is unskillful. Moreover, she shouldn't cut the client's hair after taking away the towel and the protective coat from his/her clothes. Importantly, she didn't cut the hairstyle that I, the client, had asked for. She had done a hairstyle that she wants instead. If she is that arrogant, then I will just try another hair salon. P.S. After I washed my hair that night and the curls were gone, I realized that my hair on the right side is half inch shorter than my hair on the left side. I suspect that the good reviews were written by their relatives or friends, or just for a discount from the hair salon. Their prices are not cheap; same prices as other Chinese hair salons. The owners (Ada and Richard) are not professional at all, regarding their skills and service. There are better choices of Chinese hair salons in Vancouver.

Emerson is the most unprofessional terrible hairdresser I'm ever seen in my life. I was so upset and angry with my visit there I felt the need to write this review so others won't make the same mistake I did. First when I arrived for my appointment I was told he was going to be a few minutes. I had to sit and wait almost an hour before he even said hello. I had booked for ombré. He told me it would be no problem and then started talking about what I wanted him to use on my hair it was obvious Straight away he didn't seam to know what he was doing. After wasting another 30 minutes of him talking about what he could do and then saying he didn't know if it could do it he proceeded to ask the other stylists for help. One girl seamed to be v confident and know her stuff told him what to do and he just dismissed her. Long story short after 6HOURS in the salon I left with orange hair that was so badly damaged I can't ware it down. He had to color it and bleach it 5 times because it kept putting the wrong color on. Another client he was working in at the same time was also clearly not happy with her hair. I'm so mad I went to see him and I believed him when he said he was fully trained. He was rude from the start, got color on my clothing and did a flat out terrible job. He did offer to have me return to "fix" it but I wouldn't let him near me again. Iv since spent $250 at another salon to get the right color and cut 5" off because the damage was so bad. My advise to anyone stay away from Emerson you'll only regret it. read more

I had to create an account to write this review, but it is totally worth it! I found this place on a Dealfind, the salon is in my neighborhood but I had never been inside, super cool little place on the drive, my stylist was Emerson, I should say now that I am not the easiest client to have, I mixed race and have the hair to prove it, it's super fine, colored and there is A LOT of it. I know what I like and am pretty specific about it; has to look good both straight and curly, has to have movement ad layers, but not sacrificing my length. Emerson listened to all of my wants and needs, talked me through what he wanted to do, took my own past experiences seriously and just overall made me feel like he had been preparing for this hair cut for months. As I said, my hair is high maintenance, its bright red with fuchsia undertones, he put a deep moisturizer pack on my hair and I got a luxurious scalp massage, which unfortunately turned Emerson hands pink (sorry!) and started cutting. I got a wet cut, blow-dry, flat iron, dry cut, and I left with an AMAZING hair cut! Had everything I wanted out of the layers and movement, but not to short, looks super cute curly, and Emerson was so informed and fun to talk to, I will definitely be back and bringing friends :D Overall a great experience, especially considering I have interesting hair to cut, highly recommend to people who are particular about what they want, or other curly girls who like to play it straight on the weekends. read more

Just came from my 4th or 5th, every 2 month visit for cut and colour with Michael (aka Mike). I learned of this stylist from my sister in law who was more than pleased with how he did her hair and suggested I try him. I was desperate for a new stylist, as mine, who I had been seeing for about 5 years had up and left for Edmonton. I spent about a year trying different salons to no avail. I always thought she was great at both cutting and colour, but I did not know what a true artist could do. And that is what Michael at the Googh Salon is. An "Artiste". I finally have a haircut that is stylish even after a month or so; the cut is allowing my hair to fall just right. Colour wise, while I stay to a basic brunette shade, rather than foils etc. to cut down on the cost, has been fantastic. At Christmas one of my guests said, your hair colour is really nice..........not something that has been pointed out to me many times before. My previous stylist used to take one hour to do both a cut and a colour; I loved it - in and out in no time. And yes Michael takes twice that long; my guess is it would agitate him to not put full time and effort into each client; but you know I actually don't mind the time it takes - it is worth it for the result; I am definitely getting a great haircut and colour. And hey, what are we going to the salon for anyway? read more

I walked into Gough last fall and got a great cut from Michael, who listened intently to my request for an easy-care cut that would travel well, as I enjoy a variety of sports and don't want to fuss much with my hair. I walked out with a GREAT cut that was stylish, fresh & fun, as well as his invitation to return for a free clean-up in between cuts if I needed it. Not only was Michael friendly & professional, he gave me exactly what I asked for, and I thoroughly enjoyed the vibe in this sweet salon on Commercial. As well, I received a ton of compliments on the style, which grew out, always looking great. When I walked back in a few months later, Michael gave me a clean-up cut as promised, gratis, and again, it looked great for another 3 months. I'm definitely returning for the ammonia-free colour he recommended, and will stock up on the great products this salon stocks. I'm looking forward to his expert style suggestions, and getting another great cut! Over the past 3 years, I've been to a number of good salons in Vancouver, and The Gough Salon is the best so far. read more

I love going to the Googh salon. I have been getting my hair cut and colored with them for years. From the very beginning I was treated with respect and kindness. The owner Mike does my hair and I enjoy his level of professionalism and fun. I have also gone to his other stylists and they offer the same level of experience. I have suggested all my friends to try them and they all love getting services done here as well. My cut and color is always what I ask, no surprises. Which is amazing when you go and get your hair done because it can be difficult to find. The prices are affordable and the products they carry are amazing. I have gotten my hair done for events as well and the style is always what I have asked for. I will continue to be a loyal client. The Googh salon is a wonderful hair salon for The Drive to have! read more

I have curly hair and usually hate salons. Most stylists don't know how to cut curly hair. I tried Googh after I saw an ethical deal groupon thing and made an appointment for the next day. Emerson was really fantastic!!! He was super into cutting my curls and did things I've never seen a stylist do. It was fun to watch. It's a tad shorter than I like but after a few days now I absolutely love it. No one has ever cut my hair like this before... super fresh and I'm very happy. Also, the head/neck massage was reallllllly good and the massage chair ended the whole experience on a very very positive note. I will most likely be back for Emerson! Also, they recycle the cut hair to soak up oil spills. Very happy with this salon. :D read more

Great service from Emerson ! It's my second time here and the customer service from all the staff is great, makes you feel very welcomed. I got a cut, tone and color and it turned out great! Something I love about this hair stylist is that he won't give up until it is perfect and exactly what you wanted. His head massages are to die for, I would go and get just head massages if I could. He definitely knows what he is doing. Had a very great time with all the staff, lots of entertaining conversations. Michaels blow outs are amazing as well. Overall, will definitely be returning. Thanks again guys! read more

I had been seeing a stylist for more than 10 years, and she was fantastic. Got all my friends and colleagues to go to her. But she was unwilling to try something different, kept telling me my best style was chin length. I wanted to try shorter hair. So I walked into the Googh Salon and Sonoko cut my hair. Gave me EXACTLY what I wanted. I have since gone to her three times, and one of those times was for highlights. She is really fabulous. I am SUPER paranoid about trying new stylists, so this was new territory for me, and I have not been disappointed. I highly recommend her! read more

They overcharged me on my first online purchase (Dec. 2021). I had to complain and make sure they followed through with a refund, received credit. So much wasted of time. Wanted to support local, and it had been years, so used credit towards second purchase, and they ship me an intimate item that I didn't want (I emailed them confirming this), acknowledged their error eventually, sort of, hours of back and forth later... and then took OVER SIX MONTHS to give me my money back - more than one email and phone call per month to get my money back, which they agreed to, sent the product back - crickets... and then they tried to give me a credit instead of the refund they had promised. I tried to speak with the owner after the manager botched helping me and multiple calls later, crickets again. HORRIBLE customer service (NO customer service?) I will NEVER shop there again. If you don't want to waste hours and hours of your life, and have a second job to keep them accountable... don't shop there either. Shameful behaviour for a company from one that claims to be women friendly, making me feel ashamed at every turn for trying to hold them accountable... battling them saying they can't return an intimate private item that they should never have shipped me... gross. The last time I needed was more invisible load, effort away from work and away from my kids with the assumption that I could just float the company 3 digits for over 6 months. Shame on the owners. I'd tell them how they could have made this experience better but they refused to call me back, clearly didn't matter to them. I am left wondering - What is the chance that 2 for 2 purchases went badly, purchases made with years between them and that those are the ONLY purchases that go badly with them? yikes. Original purchase date: May 11 2025 (many emails went completely ignored by them) Item shipped back to then in July (many more emails ignored by them ) Refund FINALLY issued Oct 16th 2025. If you are currently having issues with them, call them and speak with (edited female employee's name out at the companies request), an outlier in the company, who deserves to run the place before they ruin it. Follow up with an email with your agreement/understanding so they can't deny and lie to you like they did to me.

Embarrassing and horrible experience with a consultation. I was turned away at my appointment…read morebecause the stylist Mhark had less faith than I did with my hair. I have had the experience over 15yrs of trusted stylists; primarily Space Salons. This group of outfits is a tragic representation of what a skilled stylist is meant to provide. The additional blow to ego was a stylist telling me that I couldn't pull off a shorter, edgier style. I left embarrassed and rejected.

Jackie Newbury did an amazing job with my hair. I have really long hair that typically goes flat…read more She asked what I wanted, gave a recommendation and I went along with it. The entire haircut, wash and blow dry took less than 45 minutes but she ensured I was comfortable with what she was doing. She gave life to my hair and I can't wait to return for my next haircut. I don't trust very many hair stylists, but I'll definitely be back to see Jackie!

First she was in such a bitchy mood. She was complaining about her clints and how cheep they are. I showd her a picture of the hair I wanted and she said it will cost me $450 to $550!!!! And i said well no i do not have a budget for that. Please do something super simple. I tent to move my head as i got distracted, she pulled my head and said STOP moving! After all my highlight was finishd, I absolutely hate it! My roots was red and she was trying to convince me this is perfect I don't know what im talking about! And she charged me $450!!!!

I've been going to Space Salon for years, and Amberleigh is the only stylist I trust--she always…read moreknows what to do, and makes me look fabulous. Never once have I been in tears after seeing her. It's been a while since I have had a hair cut (July, right before my trip to Vegas), as I have been trying to be conservative with my money in order to save for my upcoming trip to Burma. Since I like to have my hair cut right before a trip (my previous haircut was in February, before I went to Bali), I called Space Salon to see if Amberleigh had any appointments available. To my shock and horror, I was told that she left Space about 6 months ago. And of course they can't (or won't) tell me where she is. I just want to cry. Who is going to cut my hair and not make me look like shit? If anyone knows where Amberleigh went, please tell me! I beg you! UPDATE: December 29, 2017 I FOUND AMBERLEIGH!!! YAY!!!

Black 2 Blond is a lovely spa/salon space of both size and style. It looks brand new but has been…read morein business for 2 years. Well maintained and clean. They do everything here from, hair color to cuts, to mani and pedis, to fascial sand threading!! They really do try to embody all beauty all in one place. The front staff is very polite and they will take your coat and give you a tour if you have never been there before. I found a Groupon for a manicure and wanted Shellac, that's what lead me this way. I really don't know why anyone would bother with regular nail polish anymore. It lasts me about 2-3 days lol. Anyways, they are knew to doing nails and so only have one table. I wonder if they will add more in the future! The lady that did my nails was a lovely Irish import that I enjoyed chatting with during my treatment. She took great care and time with my nails and did an impeccable job. It was a full 60mins and she did it properly!! It is a bit expensive with $15 added to their Manicure rate of $40. They also charge you for shellac removal. I probably wouldn't come here on the regular for these prices but if you want to treat yourself or find a Groupon they do wonderful work! It's been five days and the nail polish is already starting to lift on some of my fingers. I will have to go in and pay to have it removed again. Wish up keep.

Well, I am sorry to say that I found them as I was moving out of town…read more I had an EXCELLENT experience here. I actually had no idea I had booked at a Japanese hair salon until I walked in and felt... like it was different, yet oddly familiar, lol. I'm actually half Japanese, but it's never occurred for me to go to a Japanese salon because I didn't inherit Japanese hair. Anyhoo, I was given a great cut that worked with my weirdly textured hair with odd remnants of "chemo curls" in parts, and straight in others. I was in the midst of moving h*ll, so I'm not sure but I think the stylist said she goes by the name "Loco" which I think is a nickname based on her name Hiroko... Anyway, she was awesome.

I am so happy that I've started going to Salon Esprit! My sibling recommended this salon to me…read morearound a year ago and the first time I went had an image of what I wanted my haircut to look like and my hairstylist DID NOT DISAPPOINT. My hair stylist is patient, helpful and always ends up cutting my hair the exact way I had hoped for it to be cut. Its's obvious that all the stylists that work at this salon value their costumers. These are some of the friendliest people I have met and I always feel at ease in this salon. My hairstylist is KD by the way! She's super sweet and extremely talented:)
