Review By: Ugeeta
I went and had my hair straightened by April a few weeks back. I was very nervous about getting my thick, frizzy hair done. I don't know why I waited so long! April did a great job! It now takes me 10 mins to dry my hair, as opposed to the 1 hour it would take before (Blow dry then flat iron!). I can even get up and wash my hair in the morning before leaving for work, and not have to worry about how long it will take to get my hair looking presentable. The cost is high, but not has high as some other salons. I had made an appointment at another salon at Leslie and hiway 7 (they were about $200) but was nervous at the level of communication that I would have with that salon. I am glad I went to see April instead, the cost is so worth it. Thanks April!

I just tried the new Japanese Digital Perm. I love it, I really do. My hair now have very natural big soft curls that do not require the use of mousse! My hair even shinier and softer than before too. Very different but great experience of having this perm. They got all the high tech machines on my hair, I just love it. Hope it will last long.

Review By: Sarah
I went to have the Japanese hair straigtening but chickend out... I ended up getting my hair cut by Andy. He was great! I received the best haircut ever. He spent so long perfecting my cut. It turned out that my ugly hair might have been due to lack of a good cut.
And... the price is great! Most salons charge $28 for just a wash and blowdry!! I am going to Salon on Brimley from now on.

I got my hair straightened by April about two months ago (Sept/09). The results were fantastic. April is very straightforward about her prices, and the results you can expect. I am very happy with the results, and am already considering a second treatment (although it is still months away). I highly recommend April's services. She is a professional, and very experienced in doing this. You can trust her with your hair. I did, and everyday is a good hair day.

Review By: Christine
I got my hair straightened a few days ago, and I'm very pleased with the results. Before going to the salon I had read all of the posts on this site, so I knew what to expect. April is great, and like everybody else has said, she's up front about costs and the results that you will get.
I can now wash my hair, leave the house with it still wet, and not have to worry that it will dry frizzy, wavy and out of control. I paid extra because my hair is very long and thick, but it was the best $550 I've ever spent!! I highly recommend April!

Review By: Sarah
April is amazing and the best at what she does. I've always been afraid to get my hair straightened because I've heard so many stories about it getting damaged from the chemicals they use at hair salons. I figured I'd give it a try anyways and made an appointment. April was very upfront about how much it would cost, how long it would take (6 hrs!) and exactly what the results would be. My hair actually looked and felt healthier AFTER the straightening! I went from having frizzy, curly hair to smooth straight hair. My hair still has a tiny bit of a wave in it which makes it look really nice and not limp at all. I got my hair done 4 months ago and it's still straight and doesn't get frizzy even if it's humid out. April's also a lot of fun to talk to and makes the time go by quickly. They're also very good at cutting hair to give you a style that suits your look. I would higly recommend her to anyone thinking about getting their hair straightened!!

I have a tip to you all, call April at the salon, and get a free consultation appointment with her, so you know what to expect before anything. I had that before I go there for a fix with my fizzy spaghetti on the top of my head. :) Thx April.

Review By: Miri
I've been searching on the net for hair straightening salons. The reviews here sound great. Hands down, I get the prize for the worst, ugliest hair in Toronto. It is extremely coarse and frizzy, with a very tight coled curl. When air dried or done with a hair dryer - it extends out into a huge ball, think Bride of Frankenstein. Curling irons help to a degree, but then it frizzes up with even the slightest humidity. I've done BKT in the past with another stylist, but it washes out in just a few weeks given my hair is sooooo curly,coarse and frizzy. My question to all of you: with hair like this, how many months would the thermal straightening last? I'm envisioning this line of extreme frizz at the roots, followed by stick straight hair hanging down after a month or two.

Review By: Joanna
I have had long black hair forever and decided i really wanted a change and opted for an asymmetrical bob cut. I was REALLY nervous but April and her assistant Andy (who was the one that cut my hair) put me right at ease. Andy did such an amazing job and i'm loving my cut more and more each day. It totally represents my style and personality and it's a very low maintenence style, which i like because i'm a girl on the go all the time. Thank you Salon on Brimley for an amazing job. I will be making you my go-to salon!

Review By: Luisa
My daughter has very long, thick and unruly hair. For the past 2 years we have struggled daily with her hair. My daughter could only wear her hair in a ponytail. When we let her dry naturally my poor daughter ended up looking like a witch. After much thought and research I found April and made an appointment. I was nervous about letting strangers do this to her hair but then when I saw all the before and after pictures, I knew I was in the right salon. When April first met my daughter, her first words were, "we have to thin the hair" and so started our 6 hour, yes 6 hour long process to straight hair.
My daughter's hair is gorgeous. I can't believe the transformation. My daughter Julia is ecstatic with her new hair. April is a hard worker. She is a perfectionist. April clearly explained what she was doing to my daughters hair and why. She explained what I should expect after we finally wash her hair. It was not a cheap procedure......my daughter's treatment including protein treatment cost $550 but well worth the money.
I also had my hair coloured and hi lited and am very happy. April supervised every moment of my color while tending to my daughter.
I will be returning for my next color and cut.
Thank you
April

Review By: Silvia
I can't believe I am one of the many writing the reviews when I was a reader a year ago. When I first found this site and read the reviews, I told myself "Too good to be true" but I chose this salon anyway since there isn't any reviews i Can find with other salons.
Funny enough, I totally agreed with other viewers now. They are really great people, not only they did really good jobs....when I said "good jobs", it shows that I had experience with them more than once. The first time I met with April, my hair was in awful condition (that's why I need to do something), she told me I can't get good results due to the pooooor condition but I can expect much better result for the 2nd visit. I was hesitated when she told me that but I chose to get it done anyway since my hair really giving me too much trouble. At the end, the result wasn't that good but at least was much better than before, so I was still happy. (Most important, the result was expected since April described to me very clearly as to what to expect at the end, it turned out 100% what she said) Because of that, I trusted her and went back again for the second time within a month. With worries of having hair falling out, April gave me again very clear direction. Surprising, I thought it will be just a bit better, but it was million times better. Not only my hair was not damaged, but was much shinier and softer, though it's a BIG question mark to me! I still don't understand what had happened and why that happened - 2 JHS within a month and my hair is getting healthier???? Hard to believe! I just want to share this with people who is wondering like myself. Thumbs up to everybody at Salon on Brimley!

Review By: Janet
I have been searching on line and found this salon. I have very thin but curly/ frizzy hair. I learned about the Japanese treatment a few years back but I am afraid that it will give me a very flat look. When I went to them, I told them I need to have a lift on my crown and my hair just came out 100% what I wanted. My hair look fuller because of the cut that April gave me, I now look like I have more hair than I actually have. I personally think the price is reasonable as she is really professional and explained every single steps clearly to me. I found another guy doing this in Thornhill but he charges twice as high as this salon. April gave me a protein treatment at the end of straightening process and my hair is still very nice and soft but shinier......this is really amazing. I hope it will last longer. Oh, I forgot to mention.... she handled my hair all on her own and I am very pleased since she is very kind. I just got enough money to pay for the service but I was left with no money to tip her, then she worried if I have money to go home and she gave me $20 back! What a girl!!! I ended up using Interac to tip her!!! I was glad that I chose them.

Review By: May
My hair is quite hard to cut since it is quite wavy and hard to manage. I've been to quite a number of salons but didn't find any that I like so I did some researching and came across Salon on Brimley. It had so many great reviews. I've just had my hair cut by Andy and he was the most careful and very experienced hair stylist I've met. When cutting my hair he took into consideration all the things I said about how I want my hair to be cut and gave me helpful suggestions for managing my hair. It was a very friendly and nice experience as well. Highly recommended!!

Review By: Nicky
I went to the salon about a week and a half ago
to get a cut, wash and style. Having a Sputh Asian
background it is difficult to have caucasian
stylists work on my hair because they do not
understand how to properly cut or color it.
Initially I booked my appoinment with April but I
ended up having my hair cut by Andy , another
stylist. Let me tell you, I was amazied at how
precise he was in his technique and how amazing
the transformation was. I was hesitatnt at first
because of how light my hair felt, and feared he
had thinned it too much. In the end I had AMAZING
volume that everyoneeee has noticed, lots of
layers and still long
length and BEAUTIFUL bangs that frame my
face wonderfully. It is soo easy for me to style
my hair at home because of the wonderful cut.
April also talked me into getting the protein
treatment with aloe serum which has helped to
moisturize my hair and make it incredibly shiny
and healthy looking. This salon is amazing, and
houses some of the most talented stylists I have
ever experienced. I have been to salons in malls,
in Rosedale, st Claire/Yonge and Yorkville,
and they are all about high prices for
very mediocre service. These stylists are
amazing at what they do, and DO NOT let the
language barrier fool you, they know exatcly what
to do and have delievered superior service for
both myself and my sister!
I urge everyone to experience salon on
brimley!!!

Review By: Jeev
I went to Salon on Brimely last week for a cut
wash and style. I was a bit hesitant because of
the many signs that were displayed in asian
languages. Upon arriving I was warmly greeted by
April, she washed my hair and then instructed her
other stylist (Allen) on how to cut my hair...I
was a bit worried at this point because he did not
speak english and had to be told what to do by
April. Let me tell you though, he is an AMAZING
STYLIST!!! He gave me the BEST haircut I have EVER
had!! He cut my bangs and layers PERFECTLY and
exactly like the picture I had shown him in a
magazine. He then blow dried my hair with little
to no product and my hair was extremly shiny, all
just $28!!!! This salon is the BEST!!!!!!

Review By: Ellen
Just had the Japanese straightening done ( Nov
16), definately works, she treats all hair types
and nationalities. Very friendly and knowledgable.
My hair is thick and shoulder length, took about
four hours to complete.. She is nice as i
mentioned but not very upfront about fees, cost me
$360.00. I was expecting about $250. Only accepts
cash,no credit cards or debit, no receipt. If it
stays as straight as it is today...months from
now....well worth it.

Review By: Pearl
I didn't spend that long, only around 3
hours. I was very skepticle at the beginning
but then I found that I should trust on her due to
her extensive knowledge. My hair was
extremely damaged as I used relaxer before on my
hair. I also use the flat iron a lot....:( .
I was very worried if my hair will fall out.
My hair is now still unhealthy, but way better
than before and less frizz (at least when people
look at it, they couldn't tell it's that
bad). She really did a great job. I
will definitely go back again. She will be
my designated hairdresser from now on.

Review By: Chitra
I went in today (october 15,2008) and i had the
japaneese straitening done by her and she's not
only an amazing stylist but also a fun person
to spend 6 hours with. My hair was curly/frizy and
i got this done and now my hairs shiny/straight!
If you want a professional to do this treatment
for you for a reasonable price then salon on
brimley is it! They are amazing!!!! i HIGHLY
RECOMMEND THEM!!

Review By: Eva
I went there for the third time already.
First time was for the straightening perm, second
was for the oil treatment and my daughter's hair
cut, the third time, which was last week, for
highlights. She is not only good for
straightening, but also very good in colors.
Absolutely happy with her. Definitely will
go back again.

Review By: Grace
Girls, tell me about it, I am very excited about
my new hair, I am also very impressed by her
professional manner and knowledge. When I
called for appointment, for some reason, sounds
like they don't speak clear English and I was
worried. but when I went there, they speak
perfect English! I called many other salons
before I chose this one, probably because the
price is more reasonable and I have to be honest,
a bit nervous at the beginning, not sure if that's
the right choice. But I can tell everyone
here - go there, you won't be disappointed!
Good price, good place, good people!!!
Highly recommended! Good hair cut too by the
way :)

Review By: Jeena
My 11 years old just had the treatment done by
April, she was grrrreat! I always feel bad
about my daughter's hair - she was born with awful
hair. It was her dream to have nice straight
hair like many other people. On her
birthday, her grandma gave her the money for her
wish and her wish came true now! The result
was just amazing and she is now counting the
months to go back for the next treatment already,
you guys are just amazing and I am very pleased
with the professional service. Good luck in
your business.

Review By: Maz
My japanese friend told me most
japanese people don't have natural straight hair
and it is actually wavy and coarse. So many
japanese girls want to have this done to appear to
have dead straight silky smooth hair. I had it
done in that nice salon in scarborough recently
and let me tell you that I have never been
happier. My hair is kind of wavy and quite thick.
When i blow dry my hair it takes forever and
unless i use a straightening iron it still looks
quite full. So i asked around and found out that
the Japanese use a special product that
straightens your hair without damaging it and
leaves your hair dead straight without having to
touch it with a hairdryer or straightner. When i
come out of the shower my hair is already straight
and it drys in the exact position. It's
great!
I definately recommend it especially
your hair gets all frizzy after wash. My hair
hasn't been frizzy once, i don't even worry
anymore after washing as my hair drys dead
straight again. Hope this helps and entices you to
get it done. Good Luck!!

I had that done too, and it
was wonderful! In fact, my hair never curled quite
the same again... I don't know if that's something
you want, but I was happy!
