The Head Shoppe

I came here because of the great reviews on Unilocal.Oh, was I disappointed.
Here are the positives:
— I was brought in almost immediately after arriving
— The shampoo/​conditioner they used on my hair smelled amazing.
— The colour I had done was *almost* exactly what I wanted
That’s it.
Unfortunately for me, the negatives outweigh the positives. My cut was awful. All I wanted was to trim off my dead ends (of which there were many) and to have my layers touched up. When I got home and took a better look at the cut, I noticed that ti wasn’t even on both sides, the cut was incredibly choppy and there were no layers in my hair at all. Sure, probably my fault for not noticing that she didn’t even cut the layers, but alas.
Now, I can put up with a bad haircut. I’m typically not a stickler and understand that tastes differ per person and that sometimes leads to a different outcome. But in my experience this might have been the worst, or at least is in close competition to by 8-​year-​old mushroom cut disaster.
Color-​wise, I had come in with red-​ish hair that I had been dyeing myself for about a year. I wanted to go back to dark brown. The stylist told me that the color she was putting in would do the trick and as it was coloring (which, started to burn by the end of my waiting time) she checked and assured me that the red would be gone. The red is not gone. It’s certainly not as prominent as before, but it’s still there.
To top my experience off, as I was home and looking at the cut, I felt so disappointed that I put my hair up in a bun and decided to take another look later and maybe I’d feel better about it. It was then that I saw several brown blobs on both sides of my face. Hair dye. I went to wash it off and got off what I could, but realized that the small invisible hairs on the side of my face had actually been dyed. Cool. So, for the very first time in my life, I shaved my face and called it a day.

After reading the great reviews, I went to see Bonnie at the HS and I was very pleased with the experience. i was looking for a new hairdresser, I can be a bit fussy, It had one day to get a cut before heading on vacation.
Bonnie did a great job. I have been very pleased with my cut and how it has been growing out since then. I rarely find the time to get a fresh cut, so how it grows out is important to me.
The wash before the cut was thorough, she took the time needed to do a great job, and the conversation was pleasant but not too much. I am a quiet person most of the time.
I will be going back to Bonnie again!

This place is excellent. Bonnie cuts my hair and she is a master. Plus, since I only wanted the «perimeter» done, I as only charged for a bang trim! Five bucks! Fair and professional. I like it, and you will too.
*Update* I went back to see Bonnie again today. She cut my hair and it’s perfect. The woman is a genius and a real genuine, sweet person.

The newly renovated Head Shoppe on Dutch Village road is great. The atmosphere is modern and extremely clean. I’m always offered a coffee or tea when greeted and my appointments are always on time. The staff are super friendly and I’ve always walked away with gorgeous hair and a smile on my face. They also have a great selection of products including OPI nail polish.
