So the shellac on my pointer finger is starting to lift, actually I can lift it. I just had it applied on the 21st. I've had shellac 3 other times in my life and this has never happened. I'm not sure what to do about it. I'm not sure why this would happen, i'm not rough with my hands nor are they submerged in water. Also my left pointer finger on the side chipped this morning while *normally* opening a dresser drawer. I started out with very healthy nails, I just don't get it. I just called the shop politely explaining what happened, and the reception spoke as though this can happen after 1 week, riiiight.No regular nail polish comes off in 1 week. With an oh so slight attitude "the receptionist".. only adding to my un-impressed feeling. Read Less

I went to get my hair done here thinking it would be a wonderful and relaxing experience. I had specifically stated I wanted an experienced stylist, and they had put me with a stylist fresh out of school. She absolutely ruined my blonde hair. I had went in for highlights and to brighten my already bright blonde hair, and I left with orange roots, brown/red hair and full of tears. Not only did she mess up my hair on a thursday afternoon, she then said she could only fix it for me on MONDAY , AND she still charged me even though I was leaving full of tears and upset. I had to call the manager to get a refund, and now swear that I will never go back. Read Less

I just walk in last Friday, and I got great service! The girl on front desk was very friendly, atmosphere was nice, kind of calm, the hair stylist, Heather, was really lovley, we chat a bit, she cut my hair, and what's the most important, I got exactly what I wanted! I'll definitely be coming back for other services also, because I was really satisfied! Keep doing good job, guys! ;) Read Less

Wonderfull place with very good professionals, warm, gentle and who listen you about what you want.I was with Amie and she was so amazing with me and with my long hair (it's not easy to find hairdresser who are confortable with that). And I was little nervous because I ´ m from France and my english it's not very good but I was relax when I started to speak with Amie, it's was a very kind and simple moment, a pleasure!It was my first hair cut and highlight at Halifax and it will be my usual place !

I have been to this salon and visited one stylist in particular in the past, but have since moved away. I was back in town and looking for a trim and possibly highlights. I wasn't able to get in with the same stylist so I asked for someone with experience cutting curly hair. I hit the jackpot! I wanted a TRIM. Amie Nelson was AMAZING! I'm trying to grow my hair and it doesn't grow very fast at all. Amie was able to add shape and definition without chopping a lot off the length. We chatted about subtle peek-a-boo highlights and she had me convinced I could walk away with something awesome. Needless to say I walked away with a nice haircut and subtle highlights that have me feelin' stylish for summer! the best part was I didn't pay an arm and a leg either. I was able to get a cut and ten foils for the price I've paid for a trim at other places. Koodos to Amie and the rest of the gang at Head Shoppe Scotia Square! Read Less

I went into the head shoppe  today to take advantage of their "Cut and Colour for 49.95$" deal and I more than got my money's worth. The shop itself is very clean and well taken care of, the woman who runs the front desk is polite and helpful always rushing about offering free coffee and seeing how the clientele is doing. On to my haircut. My stylist, named Amie, was likely the best I have ever had. She was remarkably talented at styling and dyeing but was also very warm and charming. I pre-booked for a second cut at the end of the appointment, something I have never done before, and am very excited to go back. I would recommend to anyone and everyone. Read Less

When it homes to hair stylists, I have difficulty staying monogamous. I rarely visit the same person twice, mainly because I'm searching for the holy quartet of salon attributes: - product (how good does my hair look at the end)- pace (I'm not interested in spending 2 hours in the chair)- proximity (if I can't walk there in 15 minutes, I will not go to there)- price (I can't afford any $100 haircuts)Well... I think I found it. I dropped in for a lunch-time cut yesterday. The Golden Clipper, or "GC" is in Scotia Square, minutes from my office. Jaime the stylist was friendly and fast. I showed her a picture and she basically gave me that exact cut/style in about 30 minutes. I've shown pictures to stylists before and come out with hair that didn't even loosely resemble what I asked for, so this was a major victory. To round out my checklist, it was also extremely affordable - prices range from $24.45-$50.90 for a cut/style depending on the seniority of the stylist. After my positive experience, I think I may have to cease my cheatin' ways and return to the Golden Clipper for my next cut. Read Less

This is where my fiancé goes to get his hair did.  After a few flubs at different barber shops, he decided to go the salon route and try this conveniently located salon.  Since coming here, he's had nothing but good results- not too short, not harsh clipper cuts, just a flattering textured cut. Also, his stylist has suggested American Crew products to help keep his hair looking fly without the goopy mess from gel. And the price is quite decent-- $25, and that includes a head massage (lucky him!)As for me, I haven't tried the salon.  The services are limited here, it's simply a cut n' color kind of place, and I like to indulge a little more when it comes to salon trips.  Plus, the products are Redken, brand which are a definite no-no for me because of an allergy.  For those who like to keep things simple and affordable (particularly the guys), this salon might be just the ticket.
