Reviews of Anim Hair and Beauty Studio (Barber Shop)

Michelle Lee

My fiance was made to wait for 2 hours until he just left even though we had made an appointment. He watched other people that got there after him getting their haircuts before him. What a waste of time. Super unprofessional and rude.

For a few years now, I have had this thing where I would go and get a fresh fade in which ever country I visit. This has probably been the worst joint i've been too from all around the world. Firstly, I made an appointment for a Saturday as I had plans for that evening. I received a phone call AN HOUR BEFORE my appointment (I was already on the way) saying that he can't do it because he had a soccer game, and without an apology or anything he moved it to Tuesday. I bought a groupon which promised , a cut , wash , hot towel , scalp massage and style - BUT the only thing I got was a cut! I was totally gob smacked. He didn't even brush the hair off my face. The guy who cut my hair did a decent job, but the customer service from the rest was appalling. The receptionist and two females were extremely rude. I remember having that feeling of wanting to get the hell out of there. After my cut was done I was asked to pay a hidden fee.. After my experience the last thing I wanted to do is throw them extra money! This was NOT stated in the groupon voucher, no doubt this ruined my whole day and my barber experience in Canada. I would not recommend anyone going to this place. I didn't even get a thank you or goodbye at the end by the female with braids. Worst place ever.

great place!

charles mlengela

Got my first fade in Canada here... the staff are professional and kept the area clean. Do yourself a favor and go to this salon!

Jelani Mcknight

Best environment. Good people

George Ogolo

Great hair cut. But a little expensive.

Leah Campbell

They were able to fit me in for an appointment no problem and the lady who cut my hair was very nice and knew exactly how to implement my rambling hand wavy explanation. I will definitely go back again. The only thing i could say was i got a groupon where they said the regular price was $170 but when i asked the girl what the regular price was so i knew how much to tip she said $45. Buying the groupon was still a deal but only 35% rather than the 83% advertised. Not sure if this is Groupons mistake.

Simon Yarwood

Great place for family and friends.

Harnek Bharaj

Okay place

Deshannon Forbes

Friendly staff and professional

Jear'N'Alicia Blanco

Great place to get a haircut. Use a Groupon coupon, it's worth every penny!

Angel Boss

Nica was very informative on hair care for me and I could tell she really knew what she was doing. The end result was amazing :)

Valerie Tomecek

Perfect for the perfect hairstyle, color or cut!! Wonderful stylist and service excellent. A great client experience!

Alysha Badiani

Nica is an amazinggg hair dresser! I had a cut and style and she's just alll around fabulous!!! She is a wizard with her scissors, super efficient and very reasonably priced. Alsooo to top it all off, she's super kind and very sweet! Grateful to have been recommended to her ☺️ (Also their whole team seems super friendly!)

Nate Williams

I've been going here for 15 years. I spend on average 5-600 dollars per year.. however it is an absolute shame that I will never return out of principal. The customer service is horrid because the owner does not give any of his employees a reason to will anyone to be a return client. Cody is an amazing barber hands down. Nancy is a true champion however Daniel is the appitamy of a slum lord owner. Nice guy but it's all a shameful phasade

Ibrahima Cisse

Didn't know about this place but recommended from a friend. Danny is a great barber and very friendly. They have a new customer!

volpe14

got an immediate appointment with my groupon. we discussed how i didnt want to lose any length and would rather come back for another cut than have it too short. sadly i lost more than two inches on one side and a full inch on the other so will have to walk lopsided for a month. foils look great

Best Fade in Vancouver

Tennesee Fafard

Danny cuts my hair every time and I wouldn't go to anyone else. He knows what I like or will like and he is a very cool person to talk to during the cut. Love this place and would recommend it to anyone.

Blanca Hernandez

Exceptional service by far!????

Bella

My sister was there to get hair extensions done. Beside that the service was awful and the price was a little bit too high, she had to asked two of the staff members to stop gossiping about other clients and of course there was the classic gossiping about coworkers among staff. Sister came home in distress due lack of professionalism she had to go through while getting the service. She described it like a “low class place”. One of the staff members also made awful remarks about her hair quality in a very unprofessional manner. The good thing is that officials are looking into this matter. Hopefully, they learn how to be profesional and how to treat customer right ,beside of how to deliver a good quality of service. Una basura de lugar, muy ghetto..

Simranjit kaur

Too expensive but good

jason krossenger

For $40 I would expect a hair wash but no they don't offer hair wash with a cut. Also he shaved off my sideburns when I didn't ask him to and cut one side shorter than the other.

Reggae Meets Jamaica

Danny is owner! You can come in or set an appointment. Great for us brothers that have little time & need a quick trim ????

K-v

Best Barber shop ????✌️????????

Orpita Das

My appointment was on a Friday evening, still doesn't justify the hair dresser's sourness and disinterest in what I wanted my hair cut to look like. Also curly hair girls -beware. She fluffed up my hair like she were dusting a bedsheet after my cut :(.

vaishali patel

Had my haircut done by Nica. I loved her work. She is great and I am so happy with their service. Definitely recommend this salon for someone who has thick hair. I think I finally found good hair dresser for me.????

Myles Edgars

Awful service. Wouldn't recommend them. You want to go to vinas on commercial an venables they got great service an way cheaper an they're not stuck up like the people here

Brook West

Awesome service, great people. Attention to detail and really understand what you want.

Katie Tsai

Use Groupon but they didn't want to wash, scalp care or style. Had haircut done in 12 min. Will not come again.

Ifthica Shamsudeen

I like the hair cut. First time I went there and it was perfect.

Violet Vonkatz Young

I couldn't even make an appointment, they ignored me. It was rather embaressing. I stood at the counter while they cut hair, talked on the phone, occasionaly glanced my way. Not sure what I did wrong.

Junaid Jawed Khan

Danny is the only barber I’ve been going to ever since I moved to Canada in 2016. Best in the business if you know exactly what kind of cut you looking for! Highly recommend going to this barbershop if you know exactly what kind of cut you want. Extremely friendly vibe and there are other talented barbers who work there!

Jessica white

She did a great job on my hair but I paid for a cut style and scalpe massage. I asked her twice about the massage and she refused to give it to me so I didn't tip her and won't be coming back. If you have a new customer coming your supposed to give them the best service especially the full service they paid for so they come back. Every place I've gone has screwed up my hair so I was looking for a new place to get my hair done that was close by and I had a really bad headache so o was looking forward to a scalpe my massage. If a client asks twice about the service she paid for and you ignore the question completely and never give them what they asked for it's fraud and shameful. She would have had me a client for life because she did a great job. But I can't go back to some who shows disrespect towards me like that. She knew damn well she wasn't going to do it and it take like 5 minutes extra and she could have had me as a client and I would have given her a nice tip. I always leave 30% to those who do a perfect job on my hair. That would have been 10$. But she clearly isn't there to get more clients. I'll keep searching for someone else.

Rasie Bamigbade

I highly recommend. Great vibes too.

Talal M

Friendly and stylish. I like the service here and would highly recommend them.

Katie Row

Cute salon, good prices and Nica was so lovely and pleasant! I'd love to come back to this salon just to get her level of service again. Loved my haircut & style - thanks Nica!

Markheef Dessal

Amazing place, very professional

Kavya Arora

David Vandenberg (H3lium)

Never disappointed with this place after more than 8 yeas of visits

king

The chick who works the front counter and answers the phone is always grumpy

Kyle Maddox

This place is AMAZING!!! Got referred here by a friend and got the most amazing haircut I've had in my life. Great people working there with good humour!

Aline Ferraz

I got a groupon for cut, scalp massage and dry. The facility is okay. It’s a old salon with old furniture. But Nica is absolutely friendly, she washed my hair (forget the scalp massage, it’s not going to happen, but for $30? It’s more than okay), we talked about what I wanted and everything was exactly like I expect. Cupom + $10 because my hair was long (that’s the part that got me confused. If you buy a groupon and have a hair longer than your shoulder might cost between 5-15 dollars more) anyways... everything + tip was $60 hair cut. I would say worth it.

Jandy Kim

I don't usually have luck with hair dressers which is why I've cut my own hair for the better part of the last 10 years but I really like Nica. I've seen her twice now and plan on continuing to go to her.

Jeff Amoako

Best in BC. It's lit

Denise Blaustein

Nica is amazing!!! Will do a great job ????????

Madiha Akbar

I've been to Nicca twice for a hair cut. She is quick but thorough. I have never left there dissatisfied. She is super friendly and really knows what the client would want. Also, she is pretty much always available and when she isn't, she tries her best to fit me in. The location of the salon is great! However, the salon in itself is not your typical upscale salon...it has an urban feel.

Marinelle grace somoza

Nica Reyes is a babe! Bringing positive vibes with the client(s) ???? super friendly ???? I have a good deal & received great service in the salon ????"I get full hair highlights done today, Nica turned my hair from dull into exciting, sexier & volume hair ????????... I highly recommend Nica, she provides great service with care ????.. trendy haircuts and styles ????.. They're salon are so accessible, just outside Columbia station (1-minute walk). Her hand feels so light. every time she touches my hair, it makes me feel relaxed and put me to sleep ????‍♀️????‍♀️. That's what most customers looking forward to in the salon or spa, professional at work, provide great service, not just about hairs. At the same moment making the customers relaxed ???? #FullHairHighLights #AshBlonde #LayeredHaircuts #BeautifulUndercut #SexyIronCurls

Jennifer Bell

My first visit here but definitely will not be my last. Nica was awesome! I purchased a Groupon which clearly stated that there may be additional charges dependant on hair type and with curly hair I was expecting it. But I told her what I wanted and she gave me options to fit within my budget. She was very personable and the shop has a great atmosphere. Thank you Nica!

Katrina Steeves

I went there for my partial highlights and haircut and was very happy with the result, customer service and friendly atmosphere.

JMai

I just recently had my hair done by Nica, and she did a fantastic job! very impressed and will be back for sure.

Asmat Bano

They did not do my hair color right. I asked them for red and the hairstylists there did not understand what i wanted,and when i showed them the picture of what color i was looking for, they said they don't have it and convinced me for a basic one. I also Explained them very clearly that my hair is dark black and they should Bleach it before applying the color but they did not even care. Highly disappointed and unsatisfied with their service. I spent my money and time on something which is definitely not worth. Very rude and careless.

seulberg lala

Dont go - ever. I specifically asked for my sides to be cut at 10mm or 12/32 inches and got told that the barber only knows the numbers on his adapters and 1 was the longest. So i thought to play it safe and start with the longest option. After putting down my glasses he started cutting and from the first bunch of hair falling down it was obvious that way more got cut off. I immediately asked him to stop put on my glasses and was left in shock. I had a 3mm (4/32) military style cut. I then asked him if he was serious about this being the longest size and ge told me he had longer sizes available but that those "would just not look good" and then went on complaining about me not knowing the hair length I was looking for and not his numbers and blaiming me for it. I had to leave and go to a different hairdressee, but with military cut sides there is little to be fixed in the short run... Please dont go here, go to a proer hairdresser.

Christina Madarasz

I love my new haircut!! Yay

Cyn Thia

Everyone was friendly, I appreciate that in a Salon as they can be quite uppity. I took my 4 year old daughter for a trim and my 7 y/o son who was with me got a a nice clean up and fade on the house! ❤ We will be back fo sho next time we are in town!

Lawrence jarikre

Friendly and knowledgeable staff

Kathy Powelson

Nancy is amazing.

Brian

Superior level of service in getting a haircut and beard trim (optional). They book by appointment with some walk-ins available. I've been to so many but this one tops it all.

Amanie Dulay

Nica is a great stylist and a genuine friendly person. Listened to my concerns regarding my hair and was able to fix up the hair colour (after a few tries). Will come back to this place and recommend her for anyone.

Kalonzo Kabongo

I did many African Barber shop.. from far away the best !!! Let me explain you quickly, quick booking, a big and nice place to cut your hair, color it or even to do dreadlocks! Anim's stuff is welcoming and the owner is really nice and make everything to feel comfortable.

Genesis Dynamics

Great customer service, I loved how the cut my hair and I felt really welcome

Janice Lemay

Always a relaxed but professional atmosphere. Nicca knows her stuff. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

ambica bhaskar

Had an awesome experience.... thanx nancy 4 making my day :)

Samantha Douglass

Great service will definitely be returning

Sehaj Gill

Garbage. Set up an appointment and the person who booked it completely forgot and she always does this for instance last time she switched up the time slots with someone else. There are better places to go .

Chisom Pat-Okoye

Anim has such a family vibe to it, you go in there and you feel at home getting a haircut. The service is great and so are the personnel as well. I don’t know about you but I don’t have a reason to not go back!

DA STREETZ

Nica is awesome! She did a great job on my hair colour :)

Frances Osborne

My daughter gave a a groupon gift card for haircut, shampoo, styling. I was very happy with the cut, styling, everything. I can see why my daughter likes this hair salon. Very friendly staff & Excellent service!!

Melanie Johannson

Always an amazing hair experience. Love Nancy. I have trusted her with my hair for 18 years! Never disappoints!

Angela M

I called and the person who answered the phone (I think everyone helps with reception) was friendly and polite. I got an appointment within a week (and on a weekend at that). Two days before, I received a reminder about my appointment. On the day of the appointment, someone called me to remind me that I needed to wear a mask (Covid rules etc). They provide them for $2 if you don’t have one. I arrived at the salon early for my appointment. It’s not fancy (or pretentious) but clean. A number of people asked if I needed assistance and were super attentive even though I was early. My stylist (Nica Reyes) was finishing another appointment and then still started my appointment within 5 minutes of my start time. I wasn’t in a huge rush but appreciated the punctuality. Nica and I discussed what I wanted. I’m pretty easy going with my hair and I appreciated that she had thoughts and suggestions. She suggested a colour I wouldn’t have thought of and it looks great. In addition, my hair takes a long time. It’s long, dark, and thick so highlights is always a 3hour+ job. She was friendly the whole time and even though it was the end of a busy day for her, never made me feel like she just wanted to leave . On top of that, all the other staff and clients in the salon were super friendly. I’m very happy with my experience. Thanks Nica!

Dee Marsman

Amazing, Danny is great and puts you as a client first before himself.

Kelly S

Good vibes, great people, always a nice cut & fade.

dabs great

Awesome environment but my last visit was my last. Started coming in highchool when the cost for a regular cut was around 28 bucks and I would generally leave a 5 dollar tip. Gradually costs turned to 32$ and i would leave a 3 dollar tip. Eventually getting to 40+ dollars for a 40 minute mens fade/trim. Prices are poorly displayed to you expect the same cost each time but you dont get it. If you are going to come get your hair cut here go with Cody

Wise Bakson

Best place to get a hair cut. Been going there for over 5 years. Great experience, professional service.

Aslida Cervantes

SCAMMERS, do not buy the grupon deal because there's extra fees applied, for $40 when the groupon deal is $26, so unprofessional, you end up paying $60 for a 1 inch trim, no wash, no blow dry, no massage, not even water offered to drink. STAY AWAY.

Troy Coulter

Great place, walked in and was helper almost immediately. Great cut and great price. Will definitely go back.

Ali Zaidi

Worst haircut I got in a long time, it took roughly 50 minutes for a simple fade. At $32 for a cut I will definitely not go back there again.

Jacqueline J

Great service. Great vibes. Good music. Chill atmosphere. Nothing too fancy and uptight.

Miss Hiccup

If you are looking for a place to blame the customer when you don’t get what you asked for this is the salon for you. I’ve been getting the same cut since this place opened. I went for my usual cut and the cost jumped by $12. I wasn’t thrilled with the cut but am used to tweaking it as long as there is a blue print. There was none, for $47 I should get what I asked for, right? Says shop opens at 10 but I had to wait til 11 for someone to show up. She asked where I wanted my hair to start from. I said just below my nose. The 1st cut is always the shortest hair on my head, it progressively gets longer from there. Her first cut ended with my hair at my eye. Nancy dismissed my concerns. I told myself it’s not as bad as it looks. Got home and discovered it was worse than it appeared. Tied back is the only option. I went back and booked an appointment to have my hair done by someone else for a Christmas party. Asked how do I get my hair cut to the length I want? I was told it will grow. I asked why my hair was so short, it was because I wanted it blended. When I said she gave me bangs, she told me it was fringe. I should have canceled my appointment right then. I had resigned myself to wearing my hair tied back for the next month. I lasted a week. I went to another salon to see if it could be fixed. It can’t. The bangs Nancy chose to give me were: Uneven, started too far back and were cut at the wrong angle (will take twice as long to grow out) The rest of my hair looks like 2 different hair cuts. The right side was cut shorter and is feathered. I left a message cancelling and stated I would never return. The response I got is the reason I am leaving this review. Nancy said she was sorry and she was hurt that I would do this for one mistake after all these years. Did she admit her mistake after the first cut or did she butcher the rest of my hair to cover it up? Did she admit her mistake when she blamed me for my hair being so short and lied about giving me bangs? Did she only admit her mistake after I paid someone else to try to fix what she did? This is the treatment a decade of patronage gets you at Anim and is the reason I will never return.

This is beyond the WORSTTT salon in New West. My sister had her hair coloured and it was completely the WRONG COLOUR and she was told over the phone that she could come back and they would fix it. I had went with her as she is a new mom wanting a new look and a boost of self confidence. The owner of the salon said she will not FIX HER OWN MISTAKE and CHARGER HER MORE MONEY for the mistake that they had made in the first place. CUSTOMER SERVICE ??? NOPPPPPE she told my sister she had bills to pay and she could care less if she thinks my sister was unsatisfied. There is NO WAYY IN HELL I would recommend this salon to ANYONE !! DO NOT GO SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME!! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PLACE. Does not care about client loyalty, satisfaction and has the worst attitude

MR STICKS

Cody cuts hair really well, the big black lady that answers the phone literally never answers/ when i do get a hold of them, gives u the biggest attitude ever. Very poorly operated business. If they say to be there at 3, come for 3:15. You are going to wait, trust me. I personally dont like paying 42$ for a mens haircut to wait 15 minutes... when i had an appointment. Can pay the same and go down town to a killer barber, get treated like a king in a stunning barber shop whle watching sports. They do hair well but suck at everything else.

Charlie Hagley

Great community, really take their time making your look sexy

good music

I've been a customer at Anim for a little more than a year and have had really good experiences there. Cody, Steve and Naveed have all cut my hair, and I keep going back to Naveed. Good people, always seems to be a party around there, and a good cut that's well priced!

Corrie Diligenti

Phenomenally talented stylists. One of a kind shop for the lower mainland. Hands down best of the best!

ibrahima basse

This is familly barbershop this is my house there love this barbershop.

David wyatt

Cody is by far the best barber I have been to since moving from Toronto. I found him on instagram @Grampastaxx and his work is just like his photos. You wont be disappointed.
