The best experience at a salon ever, my stylist Jacqueline was so amazing! She listened, took her time and gave me the most beautiful balayage. She was beyond sweet and I can't wait to go back! So glad I found a place I can trust!! Read Less

Super welcoming and great service, I have super curly hair so I know it's sometimes difficult for hairdressers but my hair looks amazing after my cut! Plus my stylist Alex and I chatted the entire time, the staff is just so friendly I loved every moment :) Definitely my new go-to salon in Guelph Read Less

The team at Malkim are very skilled hair colourists and hair stylists. They carefully took me from medium/dark brown to platinum blonde in a manner that maintained my hair's health as best as possible...and it looked amazing. I never thought I could go blonde but they did it! They are experts at what they do and are friendly as well. I love going to see them and always leave feeling rejuvenated and very happy. Great atmosphere, great people, book an appointment here if you love your hair. Read Less

I had a really bad experience having my hair dyed (from brown to blonde). It ended up being patchy and I had to insist for 2 (!!!) more dyes. The stylist's name was Alex. On top of having done a really bad job he was rude when I said I would not leave the place having ppatchy blonde hair. I can really not recommend it. Read Less

Malkim is fantastic! They can do any haircut from really conservative to really wild! All the staff are knowledgeable, friendly and chatty. However, Simon is my absolute favorite! He is so sweet and absolutely NAILS my haircut every time! You will not leave disappointed! I highly recommend these guys! A+ service and styling! Read Less

Highly trained, professional hairstylists that go out of their way to make you feel at home. I am thrilled with my stylist's work. She listens to what I am looking for, knows how to provide the cut and style I am after and she makes excellent recommendations for which products to use and which products to avoid according to my specific hair type! I can't say enough about Michele! She is an amazing stylist and makeup artist! Read Less

This place came highly recommended by quite a few people. I needed to get my hair done for friends’ wedding. Sadly, I have never been more dissatisfied and disappointed with a hair salon. They were 30 minutes behind schedule (my make up appointment then had to be rushed) and towards the end of the appointment I realized I was having my hair done by a student. I was not happy - my hair looked horrible.. nothing like I asked. I re-styled my hair right there a bit and then rus...hed to a pharmacy to buy hairspray and a comb so I could fix my hair in the washroom once I actually got to the wedding hall. I know some of you are happy with Malkim but I was in tears once I got into my car.. Needless to say, I came late to the wedding and my hair was awful.. Never again.. Ver más Read Less

Love this place! Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable! No pushy product sales and they really listen to you! My daughter just had her hair done by Kim and it's fabulous!! Couldn't recommend this place more! Read Less

I called the salon hoping to schedule an appointment and they were able to see me the same day. When I arrived, I was immediately welcomed. The atmosphere was professional but really friendly at the same time. Lenin was my stylist and was friendly, interested in my specifications, and also willing to contribute expertise for decisions I wasn't sure about. I walked out feeling more like myself and I'll definitely be back. Thanks, Lenin (and the rest of the Malkim crew!) Read Less

I'm somewhat new to Guelph and wasn't sure where to get a hair cut. I asked three of my colleagues, and all three recommended Malkim, so I decided to give it a try. First, I had my eyebrows tweezed by Veronica, who was very friendly and genuinely passionate about eyebrows. I then had my hair trimmed and bangs styled by Alex. I was thoroughly pleased with the results. I thought that the price was fair given the quality of their work. To be honest, this is the best haircut I've had in a while! I highly recommend Malkim! Read Less

My hair cut is amazing and the staff are friendly. I'm disappointed about the pricing. I only got a trim and I paid $63. That's not fair to charge someone that much for a little service. I can't go back unless the prices change. Read Less

For a hair salon that's local and is conveniently close to UofG, I am happy to support Malkim Hair Shop. I'm lucky and appreciative that I have had my hair coloured and styled by both Kate and Tally on separate different occasions. Both women are extremely talented, out-going, and very realistic with the outcomes to each customer's hair type. They're reasonable, honest, and not afraid to admit that it takes time and care in order to achieve the type of colour and quality a client wants. I just wish that the staff could improve their telephone/front reception services (hard to call in to book an appointment; always goes to voicemail), but in general, the overall vibes and atmosphere at Malkim is extremely friendly and welcoming. Mallory and Simon are so sweet and funny and everyone else always seem like they know how to have a fun time at work. They even offer you tea/coffee/water whenever you pop in for your appointment and the quotes are reasonably priced depending on what hair service you're looking for. Keep up the amazing hard work Malkim! Read Less

I have never felt more confident getting my hair coloured and cut! Andrea did a spectacular job, and the rest of the staff was great as well. I have allergies to an assortment of ingredients, and the Malkim team went above and beyond to make sure my experience was safe and relaxing by checking each bottle before using the products. I will definitely be returning! Read Less

The best salon in Guelph hands down! Julianne Brown is my stylist and she is absolutely amazing! I visited many salons in Guelph and Kitchener and Julianne has been the only one that has been able to make my hair look and feel gorgeous! I had some issues with my hair becoming discoloured with this horrible Guelph water, no other stylist knew what to do! I had spent alot on many other stylists who just tried to cover the issue and that had no clue how to fix it. When I first made an appointment with her she took one look at my hair and she knew exactly what treatment to do! Fixed my hair and I refuse to see anyone else. Amazing customer service! always happy! Thank you Julianne! Read Less

I have known Alexander Ross since grade 1! I knew he always dabbled in hair starting at an early age with the guidance from his mom. It was until recently I went into the salon which is very new and modern and I love the chalk board walls with all of the fun sayings on it, that I had Alex do my hair! We were doing a concept photo shoot and it turned out awesome! He did a great job at styling my hair and knew exactly what his vision was and how to make it come to life! Read Less

I just wanted to say that Katherine Rhodelle is very professional hair stylist, always a blast to hang with while I get my hair cut. Malkim is great place to get your hair cut, nice and down to earth people who work there. I'll keep my business coming there from now on. Thanks gals/guys, always friendly and warm place. Read Less

One of the things I have always had trouble with, in the course of my many moves, is finding a hairstylist that "gets me" in my new town. (In Minneapolis, I once paid $70 for a haircut that made me cry, and wear hats continuously for 3 weeks until my hair grew out.) Being a hairstylist requires more than just manual dexterity and a knowledge of styling techniques; it requires the ability to really *listen* to the client, to ascertain what he/she really wants, and to figure out how his/her hair is going to react to a particular cut. Some clients want your input, or even a full consultation. Some clients don't. Most clients are going to have at least a vague idea of what he/she likes, and would like to look like.After one disastrous experience at the hair salon around the corner from my house (in which I was told exactly what was wrong with the haircut I requested -- excuse me?), I received a terrific recommendation for Kim, then at Salon 160, who has since gone on to open a business with a friend and colleague. Kim's friendly. She's chatty, and she's interesting, she listens well, she's willing to discuss photos, and she "gets" my hair. She has consistently given me the haircut I want -- not too extreme, not too conservative, short enough I can manage it in under 10 minutes in the morning, long enough it frames my face and jawline, and hangs right even when the weather is damp. Hey, the rest of me could use some work, but having a good haircut goes a long way toward making me feel fit to face the world!The salon: it's gorgeous. New. Shiny. Elegantly sparse and contemporary. Full of light and the warmth of dark wood. The haircare products smell nice, and make my hair soft and shiny. There's a student discount. And it's next to an ice cream parlor. Who could ask for more?
