Morph Hair Design

I took the trouble to go all the way to Morph as it has rave reviews. I requested for Peter since he is supposedly a great stylist. His rate is almost twice of those of stylists. I decided to pay more so I could have a good haircut. I showed him a picture of a hair style that I liked. He didn’t cut my hair the way I wanted it, but I guess he simply cut my hair the way he knows how. The extra $$$ was not worth it. I would never go back after my first visit.

Huen has been my go to hair salonist for the last year or so.
You can give her a picture and she cuts exactly as shown on the picture.
She’s very precise with her cuts and spends her time to ensure every angle is covered. She does wonderful job with her cuts and it shown by colleagues, family, and friends that compliment my hair. She’s also very friendly whether you’re the type that enjoys starting conversations or just to get your hair done.
I’ve only taken one point off, as it’s sometimes very difficult to communicate with her to set an appointment. I usually message her ahead of time to set an appointment, but recently it has become difficult as she is non-​responsive. I would then have to consider to take a cut at another salon to meet approaching special occasions. Maybe she’s getting too popular lol.

1. I wanted a blonde balayage ombré, i brought in a picture of what i wanted, needless to say it didn’t turn out anything like it. My main point i wanted to get across was I wanted it BLENDED. I don’t know how many times i said that word that day. I wanted blonde on the ends but have it gradually become blonde by breaking it up with some brown.
In the end,
a. The blonde in my hair was very contrasting with my natural hair colour. There wasn’t really enough brown to break it up. My hair is naturally dark so it did not show up and therefore the blonde is incredibly contrasting against my natural hair.
b. It looked very harsh and there was a few areas where there was harsh horizontal AND vertical lines differentiating the black and the blonde.
c. my hair where it was bleached had several different tones from orange, yellow, silver, almost white. it just looked like a mess.
2. Speaking of my hair being white, having asian hair I know how hard it is to lighten. Despite the use of olaplex my hair is incredibly damaged in the areas where it was bleached.
Going in, I knew my ends were already damaged but after the bleach & my wash… they were quite literally MELTING AND BREAKING off. WHAT SUCKS IS I have been growing my hair out to be healthy for an entire year in preparation for that day. and now all that for nothing (Not that I didn’t expect any damage, but olaplex is supposed to help a bit with it)
3. I was told that the process would take about 4 — 5 hours. I was there for a total of 8 hours. (1pm-​9pm) i am not exaggerating. Look, I understand that the stylist was juggling a few clients and I was incredibly respectful about it. I did not say a word (and perhaps I should have) when he told me my hair will process for 30 minutes and he wouldn’t be back until an hour or so later. But how am I going to tell a professional how to do their job?!
all in all, the stylist who helped me was incredibly nice and I can see that he really wanted to fix it, but my hair was beyond repair. I kept repeating myself over and over again and yet i was still not getting anything close to the photo I brought in.
one thing I will say is that the hair CUT turned out nice.
he offered for me to come in and get it fixed next time, but honestly, i don’t think i will ever go back. i was so incredibly upset because i was so excited going in, and so disappointed coming out. My friends & family cringed at the sight of my hair. It was brutal.
and I had to still pay $ 180. I paid $ 180 for an incredibly damaged, colour confused, decent haircut.
woo.

I read the reviews about Peter prior to coming in, and I was a little skeptical about the praise he received on this. Make no mistake, he literally has the hands of an angel. He spent 5 and a half hours to get my hair exactly as I wanted. He was always very patient, very informative and also very kind. He also cared a lot about his clients, giving me honest suggestions about hair styles and made sure that he protected my hair in order to prevent damage. He quoted a price over the phone and was not one of the salons who changed it after physically being there — I actually have nothing negative to say about this experience. Thank you for the amazing work Peter, I love my new hair.

This was my first experience at Morph Hair Design, or for a matter of fact the first time actually going to a legitimate salon (i usually go to those cheapy $ 10 haircut places; usually ends bad so i wont go on about that). Overall, I really enjoyed my experience the vibe of the whole salon was very welcoming, and btw loved the décor. The process of the washing and head massage was completely new to me, took a little while for me to get comfortable at first but by the end i was loving every second! My hair never felt so soft!
Huen was my hair dresser, really friendly and honest about my BIG decision about cutting a good foot of my hair and getting about shoulder length hair. Plus she was kind enough to style my hair for me FREE of charge, which as a nice bonus :)
Overall i was charged $ 38 for the cut, paid a $ 5 tip.
Bit of a jump from my $ 10 cuts but the quality of the cut and the overall experience was a good 10X better!
just random tip to you people out there, that if you pay cash, no tax!

I got Peter to cut my hair twice. The first time I showed him a picture and he cut my hair very similar to the picture which was very nice. He became my new fav stylist at that time.
The second time I went, I didnt bring a picture and asked him to suggest a style for me and I did not like it… it wasn’t even because I didn’t like the «style», it was more so I felt that because it was no longer my first time there, I was considered a «usual» customer cuz he didnt really spend that much time or detail on me, the hair cut felt rushed and I didnt like the way he cut the ends of my hair, it was very sloppy… it was prolly the worse hair style ive had for a very long time.
After 3 months, I couldnt stand my hair anymore and had to go to another salon to get the ends recut…

The highlights and back of my hair were fine, though the highlights were a bit faded. Peter seemed unable to follow instructions I gave regarding my bangs though. I told him to keep them as side bangs, but he instead made them full bangs with weird feathery strands of hair, giving me a permanent messy look. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, all he did was tell me I should use hairspray or let my hair grow out to fix it. I’m sorry but for a FIFTY DOLLAR HAIRCUT I expected better. It’s ridiculously expensive (totaled to about Edit: $ 170) for mediocre service and results. Not coming back. I was so disappointed.
Edit: It has occurred to me that I have not fully expressed how frivolously overpriced his services were. We were charged an additional $ 20 for shampooing on top of what was charged for highlighting to get us to pay for the haircut as well. I’m only giving two stars because of the huge disparity between the climbing pricing and the actual results.
He also told me not to cut my bangs myself after he had ruined them. Instead of offering a discount or apologizing, he told me I could come back for him to cut my bangs again. Why would I have my hair cut again after such an unpleasant first experience?

I highly recommend anyone who’s looking for a new salon to try out this place. They’re skilled people who are well rounded with everything (from haircuts, styling, and colouring). I definitely suggest you to make an appointment beforehand, because they can be busy until they close and you don’t want to wait long.
After going through the Unilocal reviews of many other hair salons and this salon, I decided to come here for a silver ombré with Huen featuring Peter. My hair came out pretty amazing and I was satisfied as I left the salon. I’ve already brought in a friend to get her hair cut and she’s planning to come back to colour her hair.

5 star for Morph. CARY is a awesome stylist and he’s done my teen sons hair twice now and his work is perfection. ! He won’t go anywhere else and always hated getting his hair cut before coming here. He. Hooses the in styles from pics and Cary does it perfect.

I went to Morph for a few year now and my hairstylist is actually Andy Tao. Honestly, I’m not sure about other people/​client but him to me is beyond awesome.
I always ALWAYS dye my hair in GOLD (from BLACK) and I’ll say its pretty accurate expect once about 3 years ago. Even that time, he offered me a refund and free dye hair for next time. His customer service is extremely good and I’m very satisfy with his service.
The only down side about him is that he does take his time on your hair but hey, he sacrifices his time to just focus on your hair and make it right, what else do you expect. He could get it done within 15 mins, off you go and provide service for other people to make more money! I truly think paying attention to details is what other hair stylists are lack nowadays. Hope that helps…

The owner Peter helped me fix my hair today from the damage caused by another stylist (free of charge as promised). i honestly felt like my hair was touched by the hands of an angel. He was very gentle & attentive. My hair was very damaged and he fixed it. I had some doubts at the beginning but he did it. It was very hard to comb my hair before the treatment but during the treatment he was VERY gentle throughout the whole time. 10 points for Peter!
(As for the comments from Andy’s friends below, I will upload a pic of the color sample & actual color that came out, one grayish hair & brownish color palate. Extremely different. And the whole price changing thing well I’m not the first to experience it after posting it on my fb wall i found that someone else has also experienced it (for hairdye). @Jessica — As for the whole suing thing, i would be happy to go to court. Just because u didn’t experience what i experienced doesn’t mean it never happened. Everyone has a right to their opinion, as do u & i. I hold no grudge but @Jessica if this does go to court I hope ur there too.)
(Pix of what happened to hair previously will be uploaded later as I am having problems with Unilocal.)

I just got a hair cut and colour from Peter. He is amazing! He provides great advice and takes time both colouring and cutting the hair. He did a fantastic job on my hair and I really love the colour he suggested. Plus the hair looks amazing too!

I got my haircut and coloured with Peter and he was awesome! He did such a great job. I have curly/​wavy hair and a bit frizzy. Because I have a lot of volume he cut my hair in layers in a way to decrease the volume and made it easier to style. He is very talented and such a nice guy! He also did a great job with colouring my hair. Its so hard for a girl to find the perfect hairdresser but I think I finally found him!

Usually does an Okay job with hair cutting.
Went to get a digital perm and they totally fried my hair. I’ve done a perm with them before and it turned out ok. But in general the perm does come out a bit dryer than this other place in Hong Kong that I’ve done it at.
Also kinda bad is that they didn’t really acknowledge frying my hair and just kinda let it go… I’m not one to make a big fuss about it and tend to avoid conflict so I wanted to wait a few days before I made a comment. I had to do a lot of at home treatment to my hair to get it better and there’s still a section of my hair that’s really fried. They didn’t seem too familiar with the digital perm machine. so I wouldn’t recommend going here for that.
Other wise, hair cuts and colouring are good.

Andy cut my hair and I am really happy with the results. He spent a lot of time and detail. I gave him instructions to do «whatever he wanted» as long as he kept the length and took off my damaged ends. Andy sifted through photos on his phone and found a cut that really suits my face. He spent a lot of time on my cut making it just right. My chinese is terrible and although everyone here speaks Chinese, I didn’t feel out of place and he spoke to me in great English. I would definitely go back again. I also liked the music and hippy feel to the place. A little gem inside.

Background: I had a stylist that did my hair since I was a child. She retired two years ago and that was the last time I got a cut. I was spoiled by my old stylist who charged only $ 20 for wash/​cut and always did a scalp massage. That is the standard I am expecting. I am currently looking for a place to give my repeat business. After scouring Unilocal,I decided to check out Morph.
Location: In the Peachtree Plaza. Once you turn in, you will see Keung’s Delight, turn into the right parking lot. Morph Hair Design will be on the right. The photo Jennifer K uploaded is very helpful for finding the store front. Ample parking and convenient for Markhamers. Facility is neat and clean. Hipster vibe, but staff is very friendly. They are mainly Cantonese/​Mandarin speaking but are also fluent in English. Closed Tuesdays.
Quality and Price: Women’s wash and cut came out to $ 35 (plus tip, I paid $ 40). I asked for a low maintenance cut, medium-​long length. I am generally pleased with my cut, though not blown away. My stylist used scissors to create light layers instead of a razor.
Service: My appointment was on a weekday evening at 4:30. When I arrived, I sat and waited for about 2 minutes (very quick) before being greeted by my stylist and the assistant.
My stylist was Huen. She did a quick consultation about what I wanted and pulled out a book with Japanese/​Korean/​Asian styles to show me what she was thinking of. I left it up to her professional judgement.
The wash itself was quite long in my opinion. To the point where my hair felt «squeaky» in her hands. The scalp massage was nice but too short. I suppose I am spoiled by my old stylist who spent the larger half of the wash time conditioning and massaging. The wash chair is quite large, I had to push up (since I am petite) so that my neck and head would reach the basin. Considering how long the wash was, my legs for tired from propping myself up.
My stylist, Huen, was lovely. She spoke to me in Cantonese but is able to speak Mandarin and English as well. Sometimes I like to chat, but on this particular work day, I was tired and didn’t feel like a lot of small talk. Huen could take the cue and simply asked me a few prompting questions about my hair and just worked the rest of the time. It was quite relaxing. I never felt pressured to converse at all.
Huen layered with scissors, not a razor. She was very gentle and quick. I didn’t feel any «pulls» while she cut. She asked me if I would like some water and I said yes to cold water. Her assistant ended up bringing me warm water (which is fine, I’m not picky, but Huen had repeated herself to her assistant).
During blowdrying, I noticed that the dryers if very quiet. Huen is soft-​spoken and I could still hold a conversation while the blowdryer was going. She also covered my water while she dried, which was thoughtful, and prompted me to drink when there was a lull in the process.
I mentioned that I curl my hair on occasions. Huen suggeseted curling my hair today just to see what it looked it. She did it without an extra charge. And in fact, it made my cut look so much nicer!
Overall: I am quite happy with my experience at Morph. Having Huen as my stylist was a pleasure. Morph is definitely contender for my return business. I may try one or two more salons in the future before deciding which business to commit to.
Morph scores a solid ⁴⁄₅ for me.

I’ve been to a fair share of salons until I finally ended here. Peter is my go to person. He listens to what you want and tells you honestly if that cut/​style will suit you. I’ve only received compliments for my cuts since I’ve been here. Only reason why I gave a 4 star and not 5 is the wait. Peter is extremely busy and spends time on giving the perfect cut for his clients, so sometimes the next client might end up waiting. Make sure you have an appointment and try going on a weekday.

Had my Japanese straightening done and had a haircuts done by Peter, looked nice! For straightening try to go during the weekday.

I did some research online for a hair salon in Markham area and I decided to try out Morph because of the good reviews so far. and I am glad that I did!
First of all, I really loved Morph’s cool, unique interior deco! I think it really has its own vibe and pizazz to it.
Stylist for my appointment was Wilson. I was in the mood to be a bit daring with my cut and colour, and asked Wilson for some suggestions. He gave me couple ideas that I haven’t thought about before and I decided to give it a go. I felt that Wilson really took the time and care to do my hair, and I felt at ease because of this.
Overall, I was very pleased with my hairstyle and the price was reasonable as well. I would definitely come back again!

I did not come to Morph Hair Designs because of Tanya N’s Unilocal review and my hair stylist is not Peter. maybe I have to try him out and my experience is different?
Set up is nice, people are friendly, deco is cool.
I am coming here since my usual hair stylist Cary now works here.
Parking might be an issue during weekend… so I guess I won’t be cutting my hair then.
