I have been going to Gala Lashes for over 2 years and I highly recommend it. I never have to worry about how my lashes will look I know they will be perfect. My lash extensions last weeks (yes weeks) longer then any other place I have gone before and the quality of the lashes are unmatched. They will walk you through the different options, shapes and provide recommendations to make sure you are getting what you want. Once you come here you will not go anywhere else!

This is such a lovely studio and the staff are so warm and kind. I have been coming to this studio since 2012, and I recommend it to anyone I know. If you're in the market for eyelash extensions - Todor is simply the best there is. I tried many places, including places that ONLY do lashes, before finding Todor. I was fortunate that Todor happened to be the person I found just before my wedding, and my lashes looked absolutely perfect on my wedding day. He really cares about the quality of the lashes and your comfort during the process.

I’ve been getting my hair cut by Galina for years now and she does a fabulous job. There is such a calming vibe in the salon and I always feel relaxed when I leave. I have very thick, long, and curly hair. It’s hard to find someone who knows how to cut it properly!

I have never written any hair salon reviews and wouldn’t do that if it were not the situation known to a lot of us. I am sure that you could hear a constant refrain among women: "I hate my hair" and "Yours is so pretty; I wish I had your hair." I was one of those who wanted to have good hair and was always looking for a good hairstylist, great color, cut and style. I’ve had to become accustomed to dealing with various hair stylists, but every time I left the salon I was looking very unhappy. I was hesitant to try someone else. Did I have unrealistic expectations? Did I need better Experience on how to style it myself? I tried to color it myself, I experimented a lot with colors and styles, I went from one color to another, damaging my hair by applying bleach. It was the real abuse to my hair, as a result, - I damaged it and I needed professional help. It took me time, but I finally found my HAIR GURU! I heard about Galina and her Salon, her talent as a stylist but it took me more than 10 years to meet her (?) After so many experiments with my hair it turned frizzy and dry. I didn’t know what to expect when at last I came. She listened to me and made her recommendations as to what she saw and what she could do to improve my hair. Galina worked with Hot Scissors and I was a little bit nervous about the result. She explained to me that Hot scissors haircut was essentially a repairing treatment for my hair. Sealed ends = Healthy hair. The heat seals the hair ends, the natural moisture and care substances were preserved. It was nice seeing her enjoying her job, she wanted to make sure that everything that is done is to expectations of the client. In the couple hours of me being at her salon I learned a lot about my hair and how to take care of it to make sure it always looks great. Once she was done I was extremely happy with the outcome. My color, cut and overall look was great. I was so happy to see my hair look so great and I loved everything that was done. It was important to give my hair the attention it needed in order to not feel like I hated it. Hair is such a powerful part of us, it can bring us up with confidence, or vice versa. We have to get to know our hair to be able to identify what will make us happy with it and give it the attention it needs. Galina did her best, she recommended me the Treatment for hair as well. After 3 months of following her advice, I could see a great change and difference of my hair! Her salon is super clean, modern with gorgeous ocean view in North Vancouver. The time I spent there was a real treatment for me...Galina made a cup of amazing coffee before I left. I’ve had a fantastic experience with Galina’s hair studio and highly recommend her to everyone. She didn’t just change my hair, she changed me!

I have been getting my lashes done here for quite a while and it is hands down the best place I've been. Plus their serum is so good I buy it for my mother too!

Gala Hair Studio is one of the best! Galena is a great hairdresser, she is an artist. She knows how to cut and style your hair making you look amazing. If you want to look your best that is one place to go to!

Maria Gee

I would highly recommend Gala Lashes for anyone who would like lash extensions that looks natural but full, or whatever you want, she will give you a custom look. I can’t stand just one time lashes that come off, it was so much easier to have lash extensions. The atmosphere is relaxing, the view is amazing and the overall experience is unforgettable!

Cristian Nica

Long time client and close friend. Exceptional skills, great atmosphere in the studio, and a warm and welcoming personality. I would recommend Galina to anyone in need of a new hairstylist!

Marian Anderberg

The BEST lash extensions I have ever had ...... Excellent product and services!!!!! Highly recommended, I've been to 4 other salons in the area and this highly exceeds my expectations!

Mary Langleyy

The Studio is peaceful and Galina's haircuts are the best I've ever had. She takes time to get to know how my hair "works" and has designed the easiest and most attractive styles ever. I am totally happy with my experiences at Gala.

Beautyfull and clean studio with relaxing atmosphere. I've been Galina's customer for a long time. She is great with the hair cut and colour. Always pleased with the outcome. Easy hair maintenance and a long lasting shape of the haircut. Received lots of compliments over the last twenty years.

My hair has always been tricky to work with because of the texture, and I felt like I would never find a hairdresser that could make me feel happy. One of my friends referred me to Galina, and I was so impressed with her hair-cutting techniques, her amazing esthetic taste and, of course, her warm and friendly attitude! I've been Galina's client for about 10 years now and have had my hair cut, coloured, and styled, and very time I leave her salon feeling confident and excited with my new hairstyle. Galina is pleasant, knowledgeable, professional, a real Artist with integrity. She knows exactly what works for your face shape and helps to ensure that everyone is feeling their best when it comes to hair. I would highly recommend Galina to anyone, who wants to walk out of a hair salon feeling confident and happy!

Galina is an amazing stylist and knew exactly how to cut my hair for the right effect given how thick and wavy it is. I’ve have always had a positive experience, great haircut and style.

Theresa Ungerer

I went there for the first time like a week ago and really enjoyed it. Galina was doing a great job and you can tell that she has a lot of experience. She and her husband are both very lovely people and I felt very comfortable right from the beginning! I can only recommend going there, you won't regret it!!! :-)

Joanne Mccord

I Visited Gala Hair Studio for the first time and was very impressed. The atmosphere is lovely, the studio is very clean and I am totally satisfied with the results. I got what I asked for and the experience was relaxing and pleasant. I appreciated the care and attention Todor took applying the lash extensions and they are so well done it doesn't feel like they are even there, they feel like my own. 5 stars for a great experience. I would definitely refer this Studio and will return myself when the time comes.

Trish Dawn

I have been getting my lashes done here for over a year now and I absolutely love them! Todor is a magician the lashes stay on for a long time and when they fill they always use a good amount to make the fill look brand new again. I am in the service industry and my clients always tell me how amazing my lashes look so naturally I refer everyone his way, even my boss who loved her lashes. Clean salon good products and talented staff have kept me coming back every month. So, ladies if you are looking for great lashes in North Vancouver this is the place to go you won't be disappointed! This last time I went I tried his co worker Benny and she did an amazing job! Its so nice to feel glamorous without having to pile on mascara! Love love love these lashes ❤

Galina has vast experience, amazing skill and she is incredibly talented! She has worked magic on my hair - through cut and with colour - designing new looks that I can replicate at home. Galina is very patient, listens intently, and she has created a very welcoming, professional but calm environment for her clients. The uninterrupted, individual attention is a special facet to this beautiful but peaceful salon. I have recommended 4 - 5 friends and each one has been thrilled with their new looks and the caring attentiveness that Galina demonstrates. I am already looking forward to my next appointment! Wow - prepare to be amazed! After spending more than two years trying to find a stylist who could cut and colour my short wavy hair - I was thrilled to find Gala Hair Studio. Galina listened to what I wanted, what worked in the past, and what hasn't worked. Galina was exceptionally patient listening to my comments. Then she started working her magic!!!! I was thrilled with the results!!!! I have never had a new stylist who could create both the colour and cut I desired - the VERY FIRST TIME! Galina has so much skill and experience, and she is incredibly talented! The uninterrupted, individual, yet calm attention is another factor in creating a successful end result. It is always a joy to go into my appointment and to see what new ideas Galina has for me. If it is a new style - Galina takes the time to teach me how to recreate it at home. Galina continues to impress me with each appointment. I have recommended 4 - 5 friends and every one has been thrilled with her new look! In addition to Galina's phenomenal skill set - she also creates a lovely, charming, welcoming environment for her clients. It is more like going to have a tea or coffee with a close friend. I am already looking forward to my next appointment at Gala Hair Studio!!!
