ACCENTS HAIR STUDIO REVIEWS

Had my first experience here and it was awesome. Melanie was my stylist she was super friendly and made sure to ask exactly what I wanted. The overall vibe of the salon was also very friendly and welcoming. 10/10 would recommend. Walked out loving my hair.

I had my first appointment with Melanie, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! She took the time to understand what I wanted and delivered an amazing haircut. Her attention to detail and expertise really stood out. I left feeling confident and refreshed. Highly recommend her.

I love getting my hair done here ! The shop is very open and bright and the staff are all wonderful. I see Melanie faithfully every 4 weeks and she helps keep my hair nice , healthy & long.

VIOLET HAIR LOUNGE REVIEWS

Loved my first experience at Violet Hair Lounge. I have been searching for a new stylist since I moved to the Island; I wish I had found this salon and Summer sooner. She listened, gave me a great cut and was knowledgeable about their product lines. Looking forward to going back soon for some highlights :)

I did a cut (long hair-curly) and a scalp massage with Meghan…. I am loving the cut. She listened and knew exactly what I wanted. She is also such a sweet person. An exceptional stylists! I highly recommend.

Meghan was lovely and I was very happy with my haircut. She also gave me great advice for a future appointment. She gave my daughter her first salon haircut and my daughter was beaming after she left. We will both be back.

AURA HAIR BOUTIQUE REVIEWS

I recently had the pleasure of getting my hair done at Aura by Brynn and it was one of the best experiences I’ve had at a salon. First off the space is clean, gorgeous and relaxing definitely somewhere you can escape to for a full service and feel comfortable the whole time! I went in to get my hair cut and coloured, Brynn was super accommodating and shared her wealth of knowledge with me. Giving me tips, tricks and a plan to keep my hair in the best health possible, I left with an amazing hair service, the tools and products to keep my hair looking stun! It is well worth every penny, I highly recommend getting pampered at aura their lineup of stylists is top tier!

100% recommend this salon! Specifically both girls Anna and Peyton. I’ve gotten my hair done by both of them and they did such a fantastic job. The salon overall has such a great atmosphere and you really feel the love when you walk in! All the women have such a good attention to detail and care about not only achieving your hair goals, but keeping it healthy as well! Everyone should go here, it’s the best salon in town.

I visited Aura for the first time yesterday and can't recommend enough. I had Natalie as my stylist; she did a lived in balayage and it looks amazing! I don't typically get my hair done because I can't justify spending so much for my hair; however Natalie was worth every dollar and I will definitely go back!
