I went to get partial highlights and a cut. I am decently knowledgeable about hair and what I want. I bought a Groupon to try this place out as a first-timer - but I'm rating the price based on the regular prices. It's a small place and a bit cramped... you have to enter through their back door in winter.

My highlights took some time since I have very dark brown hair and wanted to go to caramel and toffee tones. My colorist (Mike) took his time and listened to what I wanted. The end result was lighter than I expected (due to more highlights than I expected) but I can't believe how great it looks for so light a colour on me! It actually looks amazing. Now the big plus- we discussed how my hair is naturally dry, so double processing makes me hate the texture. For the first time in my life, my hair does not feel rough-cuticled post highlights. I don't highlight often, but given these results with Mike, I would certainly consider keeping it up. $110 for partial highlights. Service 4.5*

My cut is very blah. It looked great styled professionally, but it doesn't pass the real-life test. I am a wash and go girl.... low to no maintenance. The cut ends up looking disheveled and sloppy. I am not questioning the technique capability - but I am questioning this cut for me based on my clearly stated lifestyle. The stylist is only as good as the cut he gives you. I would not return for the cut. Besides, I was just not simpatico with the stylist who was bragging and talking about his designer labels the entire time. YUK. Service 2* and I'm being generous - $75 for cut. (I'm headed back to Civello Rosedale for my next cut - it's the same price for a stellar cut)
