Personally not a huge fan of going to the salon to get my hair done…read more For some reason, they just don't listen and end up cutting off way to much or I leave with a style where I think "really?!, you think this looks good?!"

After moving from Toronto to Ottawa, I needed a new stylist. I did lots of research and tried…read morePainted Hair Co. I was not disappointed. Painted Hair Co. offers hair services. I don't think the location's physically accessible, as there are 2-3 steps in the front. I didn't use the bathroom, so I can't comment on that. I visited Rachel, and her services were fabulous. I had wanted a dramatic hair change, and brought photos. For the first time in my life, my haircut was exactly like the photos I brought in. I don't think I've had such a successful haircut before. I came back a few months later, and again, Rachel went above and beyond. I'll be returning and cannot recommend Rachel at Painted Hair Co. more.

Got just a regular wash and cut - which turned out pretty good - but do be warned to ask for a…read moreprice breakdown beforehand. They only list a "base price" on the website which is just an apprentice price and it goes up and up from there. They also change your "hair length" (as they charge more for longer hair) if your appointment takes more than 45 minute. This is only actually your scheduled appointment time too, if the person before you took longer and you're seen later as a result of that also expect to be dinged with this fee. I would suggest to the business just to add a price breakdown on the website with the costs for cuts at each length with each level of hair stylist just to allow for customers to be more well informed before coming in and so that nothing is a surprise! Otherwise the staff is very nice, the vibe is that they all get along well and there's conversation all around. The stylist I had was Nina and she did a good job and was absolutely lovely!

I'm always a little weary when I try a new location in the Glebe. Parking is usually a nightmare…read moreand limited at best, so when I decided to try Hair on Second, I was already a bit apprehensive. Laura (my stylist extraordinaire) assured me upon booking that it would be a breeze, and she was right. This location is super conveniently located next to a pay and display parking lot. The prices are totally reasonable, and they have short term (2 hour max) and long term (whole day) options available. What a relief! Leading up to my appointment I had been indecisive, to say the least. Laura was patient and helpful with helping me to decide on a look that was close to what I pictured, but also achievable in one shot (I tend to want really big changes that take many, many procedures, and Laura always manages to help me get as close as possible in one go so that I don't leave disappointed). The rest is pretty standard- I have dark hair and had booked in for highlights and color, so my visit was fairly lengthy. While I was there staff was polite and friendly, and it was very clear they have positive relationships with their clients. One of my friends came to meet me and was so impressed she herself is looking forward to her own visit in the near future. If you're looking for a good spot for a cut or colour, hit this place up. Ask for Laura. She is AMAZING.

A friend of mine recommended Nick to me, since I was looking for someone new to cut my hair…read more I love having freshly cut hair but I hate paying salon prices. Don't get me wrong, I love the salon experience, I just can't justify salon prices to maintain that "freshly cut" look to my hair. Somerset Hair Studio is near the corner of Bank and Somerset, on the north side of the street. The space is a bit dated, not fancy, but clean and pleasant. When I arrived the woman at the counter greeted me enthusiastically, offering me tea or water and inviting me to take a seat until Nick was ready for me. After a brief few-minute wait, I took my seat in the chair. After showing Nick a photo of what I'd like to have done, he confirmed that I wanted lots of layers, and then went to town. I have never had anyone approach cutting my hair with as much confidence. Like I said before, it wasn't fancy, he didn't wash my hair before cutting it or style my hair before I left. Given that the cut was $20, that it only tok 20 minutes and that it was exactly what I had asked for, this was probably the best hair cut I've ever had. I'm looking forward to going back in 6 weeks for a trim.
