Reviews of Serenity Salon (Barber Shop)

Tanner Milne

Marcie is a great hair stylist!

Michael Slang

Haircut looks fine but not at all like the picture I showed.

Katherine Lamb

I went to Serenity for the first time earlier this week. My stylist was Becca and she did a FANTASTIC job on my hair. I got about 7 inches cut off, so my new “do” is a short bob that is shorter in the back and longer in the front. Becca took her time making sure the cut was just right and, let me tell you, it’s perfect! Got SO MANY positive compliments today at work. I think I have found “The One” in becca and will definitely be going back!!

Rick Granger

Awesome bunch of stylists that can do amazing things with your hair

Hrishikesh Kilaje

Friendly and knowledgeable staff with reasonable prices. What more could you ask for? Had a morning appointment today with Jessica. I’m not good with explaining what kind of haircut I want so all I could do was show some pictures to give her a general idea of what I’m looking for and the haircut after wash took about 20-25 mins. Really impressed, I’ve never been so satisfied with my haircut ever. Would definitely come back!

Heidi is the best, used to just get my hair cut at some generic places but after coming to Serenity never again! Was even given a coffee as my appointment was super early!!

Ashley Andexser

Had a great experience here - great haircut and then when I styled it myself I had one part I wanted a teeny bit different (just cause of how I style it) and they got me back in to fix it super quick and it was great! My favourite part is there referral system too! Awesome incentive! Would definitely recommend

I've been getting my hair done at Serenity for 2.5 years, which is almost as long as I've lived in Nanaimo! Everyone is super friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Their tea selection is incredible. Their stylists are tremendously talented. I previously had been one of those people who would rarely go to the same stylist/salon more than once or twice. This was usually due to a combination of not loving my hair and not feeling comfortable. Not at Serenity! My hair always turns out great and I always feel at ease. And the friends who I send to the salon always agree! You're definitely in good hands at Serenity Salon!

Shirley Sirkia

I feel it is very expensive. I had highlights put in, 2 colors, med shoulder length hair, cost me $175 without the tip. It took only 2 hrs. and atmosphere was anything but serene. I'm going to move on unfortunately

Bryans Mechanical Ltd

I love going to Serenity Salon. They make me feel so welcome and comfortable. I'm always looking forward to my next appointment and to my amazing scalp massage! Best I've ever had!

Lorena Vazquez

Love this place and Tiffany she always do magic with my hair. Thank you girl!!

SpiderLily 01

Seems like a decent place, I had a junior or apprentice stylist and the cut represents that but you get what you pay for. Everyone seemed nice from my experience

Happy Reeserella

I arrived with a really bad haircut from a different salon day before. They did an amazing job of repairing the cut without loosing too much length. The stylist had an amazing understanding of hair and worked with me regarding my habit of air-drying my hair. I also appreciated being able to ask questions regarding my hair and having an honest answer, as well as learning about hair with the practicum student observing. Overall great experience and I wish i had gone here in the first place!

Super friendly staff, lovely salon space and knowledgeable Stylists. Plus, you know, Bumble and Bumble - it's the bees knees!

went here to get my hair platinum blonde came out yellow. She said might not go whiter, obviously wanting money. Didn't go back after giving second chance.

Fenella Lotzer

Megan and staff are amazing. Always so happy with mine and my daughters cuts. Highly recommended.

Morgan Donald

Very high priced, but I have to say worth it. I had two wonderful ladies helping me the entire time. Bravo!!!

dini cobb

I love this salon! Comfortable, great staff and the best haircuts ever! I have long, thick, curly hair. I am always happy with the results and never leave feeling like I wasn't being listened too. I would definitely recommend and my favourite stylist is Heidi! Easy to access and parking isn't a problem.

We love the ladies at Serenity Salon and Spa! My daughter loves to go get her hair done and we love the products they sell. Everyone is so nice and we always feel welcomed!

This is, hands-down the best salon in all of Nanaimo! I have been going here since they opened. Perfection every single time!!

Megan White

Got balayage and a trim by Becca and she did a really fantastic job! They use all Bumble and Bumble products which is a definite plus.

Rhea H

Always have a helpful and friendly stylist. They are personable and most importantly, they listen to what you ask for! Never disappointed. Only qualm is that the price is starting to get a bit unaffordable.

Chris Sebestyen

Great hair cut

Rainbow Crossing

Hands down the best salon in Nanaimo. Never in my life have I been so satisfied with a haircut that keeps me coming back in. You will be totally satisfied not only with the service but the comfortable environment the people there provide. This is what a hair salon should be! Can this place be cloned?

Lauren Mufford

The girls are always so lovely and accommodating. There is a friendly and kind atmosphere. My hair is always exactly the way I wanted it when I come out.

David Bailey

Friendly, great cuts, LOVE that they are in the green program for salons... quality service from nice people.

Heidi always does an amazing job and it's a cute and cozy salon.

Cristi Lundman

Excellent, friendly service. Talented professional hairdressers in a relaxed, unstuffy atmosphere.

Michael States

Great cuts, great prices, skilled and knowledgeable staff. My hair is a mess and it's so hard to manage but they knew exactly how to handle it and after dealing with it for 30 years, I think I learned something new about it too. Thank you Serenity!

Jefferie Scouler

I have been going to Serenity Salon since it opened. I reccomend any of the girls for hair cuts and color. It is a fun, friendly shop where they take time to listen and make sure you are happy with your hair. Highly recommend Serenity for the whole family's hair needs.

Jessica Gilroy

Always leave with a smile and great hair!!

Miss T

My daughter called around to a few salons to inquire about a bang trim and got quite a few no answers. But Serenity answered and she was able to make an appointment for the next day. I took her there and she was asked to wear a mask beforehand, which she did and they did a fast, awesome job on her bangs and when she went to pay, they said it was no charge! She was very happy with the professionalism and the positive and happy and relaxed atmosphere. I was highly satisfied and impressed and we will be going here again! Thanks Serenity!

will&sacha Murtonen

Google asks what I love about this place!? How can I even begin?! I love everything about Serenity Salon. The staff is amazing, they are so kind and caring- when you go in they remember you and whats been going on with you, and they really share their lives with you as well. Personalities aside, they do amazing work as well. One stylist (Heidi) took the time after my cut to teach me how to properly French braid my hair so I could protect it from breakage. They are very knowledgeable- always taking courses to learn the new cutting edge techniques (pun not intended, but keeping it anyway) I highly recommend Serenity Salon!

Joanna Bach

Love Serenity Salon! My hair always looks and feels great when I leave. Fabulous service, attention, and everyone there is happy and friendly. I've been going for a couple of years now and won't go anywhere else for my hair.

HRM Admin Team

LOVE these gals!! Yes, you leave looking marvelous (..THE best!!) BUT the highlight of my appointments is most definitely the fun conversation AND the chocolate mint they hook you up with while you wait for your color to set!

James Henderson

I love this place, Tiffany my stylist is the best and at this point the only one i trust, went to another barber in march because they were already closed from covid-19. Was dissapointed with my result there and could not be happier to be back! Staff is amazing, reception is always friendly and helpful, really great stylists lots of respect and a friendly family atmosphere.

Cheyenne Rode

Great service and amazing work! Have had multiple girls do my hair here and they were all great! Madi was my favourite!

caitlin briggs

I have been a client at Serenity for years now and it really is the “Cheers” of salons. I have always felt so at home here and the quality of products and service is top tier. The entire staff is so lovely and fun and they have created such a wonderful environment for their clients.

L J

Excellent salon. I've been going here since they opened and I've never been disappointed.

Jessie Dean

I saw Catherine at Serenity a few months ago to freshen up my balayage and the whole experience was great. The receptionist was friendly, the products they used left my hair soft and healthy and Catherine did an amazing job with my color. I definitely plan on going back soon!

Island lady

First visit to Serenity Salon. What a pleasure! Salon and staff were very clean & professional. I felt taken care of and loved my haircut. The stylist that cut my hair gave me the most amazing hair washing of my life!! Can’t wait to come back for my next trim.

Kate V.

Serenity Salon is wonderful! Great atmosphere and lovely people. I moved to Victoria more than 2 years ago and haven't been able to find another stylist I like as much as Megan. Serenity Salon is well worth the drive from Victoria. I'm always happy with my cut, color or highlights ????

Tanya Itter

The salon is so welcoming. The staff are very friendly and knoledgknowle. Will recommend the salon to all my friends and family.

Kim Tapp

These ladies know how its done! Way to go Megan & Jessie for always providing the best client experience! Highly recommend all their stylist but I do have a soft spot for Miss Heidi! Thanks for being my favourite pampering location over the last 10 years :)

Erica Nixon

We are so thankful for having hired Serenity Salon as our wedding day hair stylists! They came to us which made the process so easy. We hung out all morning and had such a fabulous time! We extremely recommend and encourage hiring Serenity Salon as your wedding day hair go-tos! They were extremely professional and easy going! We had so much fun and were all so thrilled with the results! <3 Erica & Chad Bedard

Sonja Billard

Serenity Salon definitely lives up to it's name through the staff. Front desk, Jentiana is caring and personable. Hidie , who did my hair is a true artist with hair, made my hair look thicker, me look younger. She is knowledgeable, professional and caring, and worked with me to get what made me happy. Lovely ladies! Thanks!

Cameo Maurer

These women are exceptional. They have the talent to make you feel beautiful inside and out. I appreciate so much that they value beauty in every form and work hard to make each visit better than your last. The products used are my favourites and I have been recommending them for over 10 years and will continue doing so. They deserve it.

Kelsey Blake

Have Ben going here for years! All the stylists are great so even if you can't get in with your main lady there's never a bad choice. Also introduced me to Bumble and Bumble products which are amazing never turned back.

Jamie Langevin

Best Salon in Nanaimo. I went in for a colour correction, I was scared as my hair was very damaged from the previous colour removal then a ombré. I was nervous as I did not want my hair to be dry and brittle and I walked out of there compleley amazed. My hair felt brand new, refreshed and the colour blended perfectly very close to my natural colour. Weeks later the blending keeps getting better and better. The expertise in this salon is far above any other salon I have been to in Nanaimo. Keep up the great work.

Rick Douglas

Great staff ...super friendly and helpful and very very good hairdressers!!

Tiffany has been amazing!!! Highly recommend this salon. Will be my new go-to. Go see Tiffany.

Miriam L-R

I moved to Nanaimo in recent years and have visited already several hair salons. Yesterday I had hair styling at Serenity for the first time. The shop is clean and organized and the staff is very friendly. Gracie was very professional rendering a nice stylish hair cut and wonderful finish, I was very satisfied. I will come back. Thank you!

Sharla Rich

Had to get my daughter's hair redone and was skeptical, however Heidi did an awesome job and we will definitely be back for touch ups in the future! Sidenote: if your child has curly hair Heidi is the one to see!

Sylvia Wilson

Just had my hair cut by Serenity Salons newest talent Tiffany. Excellent cut and a lovely sole. If you are looking for somebody new...This is the gal to go to. Mega thumbs up.

Jesslyn Dubyna

I will keep going back to Serenity Salon! From the welcoming hello to the complimentary hot beverage... the comfortable atmosphere to the friendly service... the array of products to the final check out... This Salon gets my highest review & recommendation!
