The price is too high for a cut or trim which is the same price $75.00. but I go because my hairstylist does it like no other.
I had been going to this salon for over 10 years. I loved my original Hair Stylist and Color Technician. They had left 3 years ago, so I went with 2 new people. I love my haircuts so I don't have any complaints about that. I get what I ask for. My hair color is always done very nicely too, but the lady who colors my hair has become very moody over the past year. In fact, the last time I was there, I was completely shocked at her attitude. She put me down. She totally spoke her mind and stated exactly what she thought of me. What? I never asked for her opinion. I didn't know she felt that way. I was left speechless. I was sitting there with haircolor on my hair as she was saying this to me. The worst part was that I didn't feel comfortable speaking up for myself as I was so worried she was going to ruin the color. As the color was processing, I also saw her pointing to me and talking about me to another stylist. I was horrified. I just wanted to get the heck out of there. I guess she realized she had taken it too far and as a result, she started to back-track and tried to flatter me and give me compliments. She was too late. The damage had already been done.
Now, I need to say, that I wasn't one of those over-demanding clients. I am very easy to please. I had regular appointments and I tipped very well. All I expect out of a stylist is polite conversation, that is it.
I noticed Salon Donato now has a sign on the washroom doors. It states that if you are unhappy with your stylist, you have every right to choose a new one without any hard feelings. They must have been getting a lot of complaints for that sign to go up.
The lady who colored my hair is named Nicola. She is very skilled and talented, however her moodiness and lack of sensitivity towards others doesn't make it worth it. It costs a lot to go to this salon, so I expect nice treatment.
I didn't bother to complain to the management, as Nicola has a very good reputation due to her skills. I figure after a few months have passed, she will get the point that she's lost a very loyal customer.
Just went to this salon for the first time yesterday. The place is very big and quite trendy. It was very busy though on a Sunday, so if you're looking for a peaceful relaxing place to have your spa treatment in, I wouldn't recommend this place. I came in for a haircut though, but how I ended up here is interesting: I was eating at Alice Fazooli's several weeks ago and saw a server that had amazing hair, so I asked her for her hairdresser's name and told me 'Sam' at Donato Salon Square one cuts his hair. So I booked an appointment for my next cut. Anyway, Sam did not disappoint. I love my cut. I brought in a picture of a haircut that I would like. He cut it just like in the picture, but with a few changes that he recommended for me. He did take his time to explain to me what he was going to do too, which I really appreciated. The result was fantastic. I'm really happy with it. The cost is not bad to get a cut by Sam either. I think it's well worth it, especially since he guarantees that you like the cut. And if you don't like it he says to come back and he will fix it.
The rating above is more for the salon, however I give Sam 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!
Well i go to the Donato Hair Salon at Square one in Mississauga. If your a little worry in terms of pricing go with a Talen Salon Stylist for $35.00. I personally love Sam hes great, really knows his stuff really well, very helpful in terms of what you want and will listen and occassionally will put in some ideas of what he thinks is good for ur hair. For 35.00 you get not only a good hair consultation but a great scalp message which Sam does great. Hes very young and hip and very trendy so he knows whats in and whats out and he adds his personaly creativity to your hair which you will love. Ive been going to him for the past 6 months. As well, I get my eyebrows done here mira does a great job hes very talented and knows how to really make sure your happy with your shape of your eyebrows. You can choose plucking or waxing whichever you prefer all the girls there are very knowledgable with what there doing.
Great Place highly recommend if you stick to Sam and Mira for Eyebrows
I've been to Donato's 3 times.
The first time I had Mira (Meera?) who was AMAZING!! She listened to me, and gave me the best cut I've ever had. Sadly, she is no longer there.
The second time I had Sadaliya (sp?) who was even BETTER than Mira. Sadly, SHE TOO is no longer there.
The third time I had Pasquali who gave me the WORST haircut EVER. He talked the WHOLE.TIME. Very disappointed. My sister got Emily who was very good, but guess what, she is ALSO no longer there.
Pasquali is though. :(
And nobody there can tell me where Mira, Sadaliya or Emily have gone....so sad 'cause they were the best ones there.
This salon is so busy all the time, doesn't always feel like they are spending the time getting to know their clients. I have been there 3 different times trying to find a good stylist, but haven't been able to connect with one.
