REVIEWS OF Gold Hair Lounge IN Oak Bay

Sue S

Lee did a great job on my haircut! I was very impressed with his attention to detail as he took so much time to make sure everything was perfect. Didn’t rush the process and made sure he knew what I wanted. I’m picky about my hair and I love my cut. The salon itself was nice and had a great atmosphere. The pricing is very reasonable as well. I would definetly reccomend gold hair lounge.

sonia christensen

Stella, Lee, Ayae, and Miri came by my place to do hair and makeup for my wedding. Stella was the most amazing hair and makeup stylist I've ever experienced. I highly recommend her to any bride wanting perfect hair and makeup. Lee, Ayae, and Miri did the hair and makeup of my bridesmaids and flower girl. They also looked beautiful. Not only was the result perfect, they also helped make the experience fun and exciting.

Meaghan Baskin

Beautiful salon and in a great area of the city. My hairdresser, Lee, was wonderful and did a great job despite me going in with only the notion "that I need a haircut". Very professional and clean establishment that I look forward to going back to, especially when COVID is over!

Mandy Denton

AMAZING! Thank you to Juned for FINALLY giving me the layers Ive always asked for! Every single time I go to the hair dresser and ask for layers they basically leave it all one length so it is heavy, thick, and my curls dont take shape. Juned gave me the perfect layers, an amazing colour, and even deep conditioned it to help make my hair feel and look amazing!! Definitely recommend Juned if you have thick hair!

Dayana Varela Mejia

Lee was amazing happy with the results

Mimi L

Great salon and super cool owners (Anna & Vancy) On my first visit, I received superb service by Juned. I was impressed by his talent and by how quickly he understood exactly what I wanted. He didn't make feel like my extra thick and long hair was a hassle and he took the time to make sure I was happy. I've had great hair stylists in the past but Juned is a perfect fit for me. The salon is comfortable and they are using Bumble & Bumble products, which is a plus. I definitely recommend!

Chewbleema

I got a cut and fashion color from Juned and he did a phenomenal job! The blending is perfect, and you can really tell he is passionate about what he does. The price point was fair as well, as this service normally gets quite pricy! Thanks Juned! I'll definitely be back again!

Becca Underwood

First time ever being there and it was amazing!! I had Erin as my stylist and she was an absolute sweetheart who kept great company while she worked! So happy with what I’m going home with!

Erin Leslie

Juned was superb and great professional stylist!

Megan Griffiths

Needed a lot of hair chopped to a healthier length and was lucky enough to get a spot the same week I called in. Haircut was quick and efficient, but still very good and the time taken to care for my hair and style it nicely was appreciated.

Kirsten McClelland

I am very picky about my hair, I recommend any of the stylists here, Erin is absolutely lovely and very talented, she has done my color and cuts better than anyone I have ever been to. The salon itself is very well kept and has excellent vibes. The products are amazing and you won't be disappointed.

Sue Capern

I came into see Juned with hair colour which was in dire need of help! He listened to what I was looking for, and fixed all of my colour issues...all for a very reasonable price (considering what many top salons charge for the same service). I absolutely will be back, thank you Juned! :)

Nadiya Paramayuda

I love the end result of my haircut. My hair is thick, coarse, heavy, and difficult to manage. So cutting hair for me has been a hit and miss experience. Went to gold hair lounge, got cut, they guy took his time to make sure he understood the shape of my head and voila.. excellent result. I got alot of compliments, and most importantly my neck can breathe again after covid. Thank you Juned! You are awesome. I didn't give it 5 stars because, i waited for 15 minutes after my scheduled appointment time, and there was a mix up with the online booking. I booked with sayaka, and ended up with Juned, without being asked if it was okay wit it prior to coming. Not that i regretted it, cuz juned rocked it!..

Maria Soulis

I needed a last-minute root touch-up, and I'm from out-of-town. This salon came up as one of the best in Victoria. I booked an appointment, but had to change it. The salon was very accommodating. Lee did an excellent job with the colour, it looks beautiful and natural, and makes my highlights look fresh. Excellent service and very professional. Lee listened to what I needed, and gave me exactly that. If I lived in Victoria, I would make this my go-to salon. The salon is attractive, with a great choice of products (mostly Bumble&Bumble). Lee did everything, from colour to washing to blow-drying, so it's not a salon with many people milling about doing this and that for you, which I prefer. I highly recommend an appointment with Lee, but I think anyone at this salon would do a wonderful job.

Ellie Giesecke

Juned made my hair so beautiful! My blonde hair was so brassy and outgrown. Now it blends beautifully and looks so fresh and modern. Thank you! ❤️

David Guido

Best Hair Cut I have had in years. The guy was amazing I will recommend this place to everyone in Victoria.

Crystal

Interesting experience...phoned for an appointment and was told I would be with Shawnee..got there and was told I would be with Lorraine so I went with it. The cut was good but I honestly wasn't wowed for the $57.25 plus tax. I would give 4 stars but the suggestive selling of the products is a turn off and the switch of who was cutting my hair was odd.

Isabel Mayfield

Got my hair done by the newest stylist there Shaned and am absolutely in love with what he did! I gave him a super rough outline of what I wanted and gave him free reign to do what he thought would look best and his cut and colour were better than I could have imagined. I'm moving to Vancouver in a couple weeks but am actually considering coming back to Vic next time I need a haircut ????

Isaac Audet

Got my hair dyed for the first time. They did a great job!

Carissa Kirk

Best hair cut I've ever had! My stylist gave me a trim with layering that really added shape and elevated my hair for when I wear it curly or style it.

Holly Gray

Juned is an amazing Hairstylist and Colourist. I absolutely love my Highlights!!! ???? Thank you .. I’ll definitely be back - Holly

michelle mylett

Michael is always so amazing. He’s such a skilled hair stylist / colourist. I feel so lucky I found him here in Victoria!

Monica Danielson (MDanielson70)

Love Tanis - she always does such an amazing job with my hair :) ... The salon is also really beautiful!

Nicole Finlayson

Erinn was fantastic. She was very attentive and professional. I love my balayage. I have been receiving so many compliments on it! Thank you.

Emily Rowsell

Barb Kopeschny

I have curly hair. Micheal went above and beyond to do his magic. Mike explained what he was going to do and I felt confident in his approach. He’s a multifaceted hair stylist and colour artist all in one! To watch him work his craft is an art in itself. No one like it. Great results and am so excited! ???? Thank you to the stylist who dried my curly locks. She is superb and the products she used brought out the volume, shine and healthy feel. She’s explained what products she used and what they do to the hair. She dried my hair perfectly and I left the salon with a full head of bouncy spiral curls - so happy!! Went out for happy hour and had a compliment! . Life is good! Thank you Gold Salon. ????????

suada abdirashid

Mary is amazing, she will go above and beyond for her clients. Ask for Mary to do your service

Hiroe Hoshi

Disappointing customer service. I've just moved to Victoria and was looking for a good hair salon. I called Gold Hair Lounge to see if they do Japanese straight perm. The receptionist I talked to didn't know what it was. This is kind of understandable since this technique is from Japan and a lot of hair stylists out of Japan doesn't even no about it. But I thought because they have a Japanese hair stylist working at the salon, they might be offering this perm. The receptionist told me that she will ask the Japanese hair stylist about it and have her call me back. They never called me back. How hard is it to fallow up with a customer? Shouldn't be hard if you are running professional business and unfortunately, they are not one of them. They called me back a week later from my phone call with all the excuse why they couldn't get touch with me... They probably sew this review and decided to call me... typical...

Lauren Searle

Second visit here. I had a wonderful experience with new stylist Irene. She had great energy, she was passionate, attentive and enthusiastic. I appreciated being able to talk through the type of cut I was looking for for my curly hair. She was so open and she delivered! Thanks Irene!

I can’t say enough about how great my experience has been at the Gold Hair Lounge (and I think I have been a customer there since soon after they opened). They excel at customer service generally and have developed excellent practices to keep everyone safe given the pa ndemic. Michael B is fabulous!

Estelle Carmona

Great hair cut with Juned, definitely going back

My first visit to Gold and Lee was amazing! Great hair and makeup done in flash in time for two back to back Xmas events. I will definitely be back! Thanks Lee!!

Emma-Leigh Newman

Back for a second time with Juned at Gold Hair Lounge! So amazing! I feel like a movie star!

Dorian Munro

Super great place, I have shoulder length guys hair and it is super thick, they did exactly what I wanted even though I am very inarticulate. They kept the nice long hair feel while making it look really nice and taking the weight off. I had Erinn and honestly this will be the only place I trust to give a good haircut from here on out

Maddy Doucette

Erinn was amazing! She was very accommodating of my busy schedule and did an AMAZING job! I will definitely be back :)

Devu S Babu

I am absolutely in love with my balayage❤️. Juned was my stylist and I should say he did an amazing job… I am from India and not all colour suits my skin tone, Juned made sure that the hair colour went well and I don’t look funny … I told him I didn’t want anything too crazy… And I did a haircut too… I loved everything about my visit to Gold salon today… I would 100% recommend Juned to all…

Sierra Usipuik

The stylist “Juned” absolutely fixed my hair, it was patchy, brassy and dead before and it’s a perfect icy blonde. 10/10 would recommend going to him for blondes!

Jina Chai

My stylist is Juned and he’s amazing! I only go to Juned for my haircut. I have been struggling to find a great stylist in Victoria but now I’m so glad I found him!

natalie treavor

Saw Mary for a cut today and am so happy with how it turned out! I have thick hair and she knew exactly how to clean it up. The space is bright and beautiful, and the service was friendly and helpful. Wonderful experience over all

For the first time I just went to the Gold Hair Salon today. My appointment was with Juned. I'm pretty much satisfied with the hair cut and he's good in shaping the beard too. He also suggested me an Anti-hairfall shampoo recommended by professionals. Overall I'm contented with the services they provide. Keep it up!

Bridget Freeman

Got a blowout for an engagement photo shoot. Juned was on time and had excellent attention to detail. My hair looked fabulous for the photo shoot and even the next day. I will definitely go back to him for a blow-out in the future.

Dee-Dee DanceFlow

Recently moved to Victoria and was in search of a good hairdresser - was really happy to have come across Gold Hair Lounge. Mary fixed my hair after having had a bad experience at a different salon. Great atmosphere, friendly staff!

Adelaide Wilder

One of the best hair salons I’ve ever been to. The staff are kind and genuine people and there’s always lots of laughter and chatter. The service is excellent at a super reasonable price and the owner, Vancy, will make sure you love your cut. Highly recommend for short haired ladies looking for professional input.

Monique Michaud

Visiting from out of town for a wedding they squeezed me in and were terrific! Kaitlin did a fantastic touch up color and style. Very inviting atmosphere. Left very happy.

M Letourneau

Came in with scraggly long hair, wanting something new. Kaitlyn did an amazing job of transforming my hair into a short cut that felt light and comfortable. She clearly takes a lot of pride in doing a great job, and is professional and skilled. Thanks Kaitlyn!

Omar Ballis

Amazing haircut...the best ever!! Vancy is incredible and the ambiance was so warm and inviting...I am a forever client!!

Prerna Behal

It was my first time here and I had a haircut appointment with Erin. She was fantastic.

Emily Edwards

Mary was a joy she made me feel so comfortable and good about myself at a time that I was not feeling that way great conversation, great human and my hair looked and felt great. She was always so giving regarding hair tips, life hacks

Beth Goodman

Agnes Maliekkal

I got the hair stylist Erin. She did an exceptionally great job! I had very thick and long hair and I wanted a short hair cut. Erin listened to my ideas and along with her touches the end results was just perfect! Best haircut I’ve got so far from Victoria BC! Erin said she’s in this profession for 7 years, and no doubt she was just awesome! She did some amazing Pro works on my hair! Thanks so much Erin for the extra care, you did it exactly how I wanted! You are awesome!♥️♥️????

Kaity Ramsey

Gold is the best place I've been to, I think ever. Everyone is so professional, but still personable. It's always so clean, and bright. The energy is always positive. Lee has always just "gotten" what I wanted. I can go in and just say "do whatever you want" and I always leave so happy and gorgeous!

Dwayne Ajeti

Great place! The staff are attentive to my needs. The stylist actually listen and creat the exact vision in mind. The owner is super cool and so welcomingalong with his wife Anna. Totally give them a try!

Leah Hoerger

So loved my cut from Lee, and so enjoyed my time. Thank you!

Amanda Morrison

The salon itself was easy to get to and fun to be inside. The atmosphere is relaxed while maintaining professionalism. It was my first visit but surely will not be my last!

Misty Cozac

I've struggled to find a stylist in Victoria, since moving here 2 years ago, who had up-to-date colouring techniques. After doing more extensive research, I settled on this salon and am happy with their understanding of balyage and tones of colour, especially for darker hair. I'll definitely be going back for a haircut.

Mami Iijima

I like the atmosphere there and always love my hairstyle set by Sayaka. :-)

Regina Akhankina

Fantastic experience! Totally recommend Juned and the salon. With the pandemic and lockdowns it felt like I've become sweatpants. Today felt like I was back to the civilization. Better than going out for a fancy meal. I felt so good!

Harshpreet Kaur

I came from Vancouver to Victoria to get my balayage done on 10th September from here as i have heard alot good about the salon. My hair color is almost gone after my first wash. I had my appointment with Lee and I made sure with her that if i get this Ash blonde highlights would be stay longer he did agree and I even asked for preferred shampoo but still after first wash i saw it was fading a bit but after two- three washes my hair color is same as before the copper one which i had before! I don’t know what to do i even can’t travel again back soon I can’t see the color which i saw the very first time when the balayage was done. I do appreciate the efforts but I don’t know what to do now? Even i asked for layers in my hair they were also not done properly the way they should be I’m very disappointed i wasted almost $300 there. It was a bad experience. I hope the owner will help me out by now.

Jacob Benson

Been going here for about a year now and have to say I love the professional atmosphere and the friendly stylist. Whenever I had an issue or unhappy with the result they'd fix it so I always got what I wanted. Fair prices and amazing results

Aiko Hall

Matt King

Erinn did an amazing job, I’ll be back again!

lini

l get my hair done by Sayaka who is so nice and talented. I feel at home there because it is comfortable and happy atmosphere. I'm pretty picky when it comes to my hair and she's cut and styled it perfectly every time! I'm loyal to her now haha it's definitely worth it going there, they live up to their title "Best Hair Salon" in Victoria :)

Ne Gravas

The best hair salon in Victoria! Juned made my hair so lovely ???? I didn't expect that it'll be so good ???? Both hair colour and haircut looking gorgeous ????

apurva badoni

I had a haircut from Juned and he's a professional. He can give you best hair style, I got multiple layers cut on my long hairs. I would recommend him. Happy with the service

Halle Holmes

Anna Fyfe

Mary was a delight to have working on my hair. She shared useful tips for ensuring my frizz was reduced and she managed to tame my crazy hair. The salon atmosphere is bright and welcoming; I could tell the other patrons were regulars and everyone was having a good time. As much as possible everyone maintained a good distance and everyone wore a mask. A great visit and great service.

Jacquelyn Son

Michaela was so pleasant! I went in for a trim and she did a lovely job. She was also super fun to have conversation with. Definitely would come back!

Brenda Viala

I'm a long time client Michael is the best, casual and comfortable atmosphere helpful and friendly, love my hair today Michael :) see you again soon.

Mylene Ardid

I was visiting for on day and desperately needed an haircut. Juned did an amazing job. He is meticulous and he understood what I was looking for. I highly recommend his services.

Julia Brewer

Kelly Schaecher

This place is great, they were able to get me in last minute and let me drink my sparkling water the entire time (dealing with some pretty major sickness issues). Great, professional service.

Lisa Keen

Absolutely amazing experience. I went in with a vague idea of what I wanted and Juned worked his magic. I left feeling like a different person with an amazing layered cut with colour. Definitely recommend this place, specifically Juned!!

Tracy Ditomasso

Juned was awesome! Thank you so much I absolutely love my hair.

Wendy Wang

Lee is amazing! So respectful & kind. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to get a cut, colour or makeup :)

Francie Enman

Love the quality of cut and style I get with Junid. He is able to fix my bad cut and give me a cut and style I’m thrilled with. This man is magic. He also cuts my hair to suite my face and lifestyle. An amazing hairdresser.

Jackie

I have 4A curly hair and usually have a nightmare of a time finding a good place that actually knows how to cut it. I'm very happy with the service here. My hair looks great day to day and on days where I straighten it...the latter of which is extremely difficult to pull off if the stylist doesn't know how to cut it properly. Luckily that's not the case here. Oh, and the people here are super friendly and nice ^_^

Mia Angus

Katelynn England

Had an amazing experience today. They were very accommodating and friendly.

Maureen Murphy

Lee is great and does the best blowout in Victoria!

Kayla Sousa

Professional, clean and super friendly staff!

A P

Wasn't bad. I'd go there again.

Scyi Norgaard

This is my go to salon for blowouts and fabulous updos????????????????

Jessica Thomson

Juned did an amazing job! The colour is far better than I had hoped far, just beautiful. He was able to see my hair and know exactly what was needed - would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new cut or colour!!

Andrea Leard

Great service, fabulous highlights by Lee!

Magalie Larivière

Emily Talbot

I was very excited to try this new salon, and made an appointment to get balayage highlights. Carlos was delightfully outgoing and a breath of fresh air. He made a point of asking for pictures of what I wanted so that there were no miscommunications. Being in his chair was a blast, as he effortlessly made lively conversation with me about my hairs history and basically anything else I wanted to talk about. I ended up with a beautiful balayage and hair with tons of body and shine. I feel confident and sexy thanks to Carlos and his amazing skill! I'd also like to note that a week later, Carlos followed up with me and asked if I still loved my hair and even set aside a hair mask for me to come grab! Emily T

Peggy Elliott

Michael is awesome. He took time to get to know my hair and habits and gave me the best haircut I have ever had. My daughter recommended him and I am grateful. We both have curly hair and he knows how to cut and style to enhance rather than control curl and wave. Lovely salon. Highly recommend Gold Hair Lounge.

Friba Quraishi

Juned did an amazing job with my hair cut. He listened to details and worked with me achieve a look that was better than I expected. Thrilled with the outcome, will come back in 2 months time.

drew matthews

Kaitlyn did an amazing job turning my dull brown hair into a bright blonde head of highlights. I love it, so pretty!

Carlie

Michael is an artist and a sweet human. Best haircut ever for my curly hair <3

Mrs B (Dee)

On June 15 of this year I went here for hair and makeup for my son’s wedding. I’ve never had a makeup artist like Lee do my makeup before. Lee was friendly, professional and pick perfect shades for me. Not only did it look good but it lasted all day! As a result pictures came out looking totally awesome!!! Our day was made more perfect by this service; thanks again Lee. Highly recommended!!

Nadiya P

Second time back in. This time for a balayage. I came out looking fab and as i'd hoped.

maddy marie

Super friendly and professional appointment. Will definitely be coming back

Amber Butterworth

Juned is fantastic! Great salon. Clean and great products.

Elisa Lindoff

Lee took my dead dry hair & made it rich, soft & healthy! I will always go back!

Owen Kato

Juned did an excellent job and gave me exactly what I wanted. Great, friendly customer service. I will definitely come back. 5 stars

Amy Edwards

Very friendly staff. Professional environment. Received a great haircut from a sweet, friendly individual. Highly recommend. :)

Madeline Heidt

The absolute worst salon experience of my life. 0/5 stars if I could. She bleached my whole head completely and I sat there for hours for her to say that the color wasn't right and that she wanted to start the whole process over again. She then went ahead and bleached my whole head AGAIN. She left me and bounced me around stylists for them to "fix" it. Went through the whole process over again, sitting in bleach for hours for the end product to be bleach barbie blonde hair, an orange brass ring around the top of my head, and hair that was completely and utterly dead. Not even close to what we talked about. I said I didn't like it at all and as a "sorry" she offered me 50% off of my haircut!!!! a slap in the face. The salon management is incompetent and basically in the end said that it was my opinion that it didn't look good and that they shouldn't fix it for free cause its wasting their "precious" time and money and product. They took no responsibility and I had to twist their arm for a refund which they returned via check. You wouldn't be wasting any time, money, or product if the job was done right. I was in tears. Went back to an old stylist and had to pay to fix it. She says I shouldn't touch my hair for a year since its so damaged. A YEAR. These people don't know what they're doing... don't bother.

Sukhraj Saraow

Gold hair lounge is amazing with a cool and classy vibe. The best experience, friendly, great haircut and color!! I love my new look! Lots of compliments! I have found my new hair salon that I can trust and feel confident walking out of

Elly Ball

My experience with Gold Hair was awesome ???? I am from downtown Toronto and this was on par to their top salons at $100 less. Lee was energetic and enthusiastic while giving me a great balayage overseen by the salons colour master, Michael. Thank you ???? ❤️

Aviation World

Excellent cut by Van Avila. Very personable and professional. Highly recommended.

Katelin Pietarinen

Really talented and friendly staff. Very clean, masks and social distancing practices in place. Awesome haircut

Jeff Elie

Great cut, outstanding service. The Gold Hair Lounge is a valued destination whenever I’m in Victoria. You just can’t go wrong with these guys.

Alana McArthur

Lee was just lovely! I have searched high and low for a good stylist in Victoria for so long and I feel like I found one. Absolutely love my hair cut and I also found Lee so easy to talk to, normally I prefer to not talk during my hair cut but the conversation was very relaxed and funny and not forced or fake. Just a great experience all around.

Noah Stewart

First time getting clipped at Gold Hair Lounge today and thoroughly impressed. My hair was a wreck re: pandemic life, and Vancy fixed it up to sleek and clean, and took his time to get to know my hair. Super friendly staff - I even mixed up my appointment by a day but Vancy still worked me into his sched without rushing my cut at all. Well worth a visit.

Marin Eve Makeup

I love my haircut! I was booked with Juned and he did such an amazing job.

Jade Marcotte

Gina Haddrick

Super friendly, always on time, and great service!

Sarah Lindstein

Had a women's haircut on Friday- and I'm really pleased with the results. It didn't take too long, and the stylist was very competent and good at her job. I would definitely recommend it to others.

J Davey

I’ve been going to this salon for nearly a year now and it is fabulous! I moved from the Lower Mainland to Victoria and wanted to find a solid salon I could count on. I went through so many different ones in the Vancouver area at varying prices and quality. What I was looking for was a place that was established, had a great reputation and good value for the money. Gold Salon came up more than once and after reading all reviews I took the plunge. I made my first appointment with Michael and have never been disappointed. His cuts always hit the mark and grow out beautifully. I really appreciate the clean-ups in between. He’s easy to talk to and I always have a great time. The colour job he did today was AMAZING! I always trust a stylist to do what they think is best and give as much creative license and my budget will allow. I never leave the salon unhappy with my cut or colour decision. Thanks again! I’m a life long client! ????????????

Harpreet Singh

Candice Trudel

I really enjoyed my experience at this salon. Juned was my stylist. He heard what I wanted and he delivered. I am very impressed. I got a full head of high/low lights and a cut. The atmosphere is very chic in a beautiful part of downtown.

Alastair McCollum

Excellent service - the staff are friendly and listen to what the customer wants. Good coffee whilst getting styled, and (most importantly) great haircut!

Alison Poste

Michael B. is an amazing stylist, and I couldn't be happier with my colour.

Komal Zaman

Kate LeBlanc

I just had my makeup done and I am amazed. I feel so amazing and beautiful, everything is super professional and comfortable. Will definitely be going back.

Savana Paul

Juned was my hairstylist. I got a treatment and a hair cut. When Juned was done he blow styled my hair. He was very respectful and we didn’t talk that much which is something I personally like in a hairstylist. He asked if I was comfortable a few different times. He did not push product on me to buy nor be rude in any way. My hair looks and feels beautiful. The salon was abiding by covid policies and sanitizing regularly (as soon as a client left a chair) and asked me to sanitize when I entered, as well ask request me to call upon arrival not wanting people waiting inside. He did a great job and I tipped him as such. Thanks Juned!

lilly jenvey

Lee did my hair and I absolutely love it! The staff are so nice and the dog there is the cutest????

Morgan B

Today is my birthday and I wanted to treat myself. I hadn't had a hair cut in over 3 years as I get really anxious. But I had such a lovely time! I got my hair done by Mary. I told her I don't have a lot of experience with styling my hair so as she was doing my hair she was also showing my how and giving me tips. 10/10 will be going back! :)

Sherryl Natasha

Best salon I have had the pleasure of going to. Great atmosphere, all of the staff is very welcoming and friendly. I went in to turn my brassy golden blonde into a beautiful bright platinum highlight and Michael did a phenomenal job! Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a bright, dimensional blonde. It is definitely worth price with amazing results!

Ruchi Sharma

Dear Juned, Thank you so much, you're a truly talented stylist. Awesome ????. I just can't thank enough to Junaid for fixing my truly horrible hair. You are an excellent hairdresser.

Eve Rickert

Michael is a genius with curly hair! He's also the first person who's ever seemed to really understand what I want in terms of colour and made it happen without overruling me. He's also super friendly and the experience is always great. The salon is so clean and with great covid protocols in place—it always feels safe.

Dana Batho

I have slightly wavy hair but really wanted to boost the curl in the cut and styling. M was great, and gave me lots of tips about how to wash and style my hair to boost the natural curl. I've also gotten my hair cut from Lee at Gold as well, both stylists are fantastic. ????

Val Foster

Juned is amazing! He took my long, formerly highlighted hair that I had box-dyed dark brown (!!!) and restored it to a gorgeous blonde, as well as cutting off all the old damage into a fabulously chic short bob! He is incredibly talented with his shears and a master artist with his colours. Highly recommend!

Caroline Manders

Every time I visit Gold Hair Lounge, I am met with professional, courteous and excellent service. Juned is so skilled, uses the balayaga method to hand-dye my hair and styles it so it literally is wash and go. I highly recommend Juned if you are looking for a hair stylist with flair and an eye for detail. --------+ This was my first visit to Gold Hair Salon. Everyone made me feel very comfortable. Juned is terrific at asking the client all the right questions. My hair looks great, and have already booked my next appointment. I highly recommend this salon.

Cassady Malinowski

Eduardo Gamboa

this is my second time getting a haircut here and 10/10 would recommend. Great service :)

Sukhjiwan Kaur

I did haircut from Mary. She is professional and cordial, I’m really happy and satisfied with services she provided. Planning to visit again soon. I recommend everyone to choose Gold hair longue. They are amazing.

I had a great experience at the hair salon. My hairdresser, Lee was very professional and tactful. Lee was able to understand what I wanted despite my lack of explanation. Lee’s bubbly and sweet personality is really a bowl of fresh air in a world where we are not used anymore to see people burst out laughing.

Siena Testa

Mary was absolutely incredible! Very experienced and professional. Will definitely be going back to her!

Yatin Sharma

Krystal Bunce

Diana Elliot

I had never had highlights before and Lee made sure we were on the same page and agreed about every part of the the cut and colour process I really appreciated the extra care and attention I was given to ensure the lightening procedure went as it should. I will be going back and this time bringing my daughter and will be back again for myself no doubt. I felt like he was as happy as I was with my end result that is very unique! Thank you everyone at Gold????????

Pearl Osmond

Junid did exceptional beyond my expectations on both hair and colour.

Grace Pater

Absolutely loved my experience and highlights/ cut done by Kaitlyn at Gold's. She was extremely knowledgeable and very professional. It was my first time coming to this hair salon and I will be continuing to use Kaitlyn as my hair dresser from now on. She gave me the exact look I was hoping for and amazing customer service. Any blondes out there looking for a great hair dresser, I HIGHLY recommend Kaitlyn!

I have been going to Gold Hair Lounge for years and I have never been disappointed. They are affordable, they give you the exact hair cut you ask for, and they don't take half of your day. Gold Hair Lounge is amazing.

Taiaiake Alfred

I went in for a transformation cut from long hair to something shorter, and Juned read my mind and manifested the perfect look for me.

Ryan Carney

Great stylish place for a haircut. Erin who cut my hair is very friendly and does an amazing job. Highly recommend Gold Hair Lounge.

rowan brunet

Thank you Lee, for your killer style! I love it

Suz B

This was my first time going to the salon. I saw Michael B for a much overdue haircut. He was on time, professional and friendly. He is a good listener and attentive. He took the time to understand my hair and I felt “seen”. I love my hair. I will be back! On a Covid-19 note: the salon was very clean and everyone was taking great care to follow proper protocols.

beth

Michael is a standout!

Erin Tilly

DELIGHTFUL. I was in town for a class, and just randomly popped in and scored an appointment with Micheal. Warm, inviting, and extremely talented, he interpreted my layman's fumblings about what I wanted, made my fine, wavy hair look divine, and sent me off with a smile on my face. Now my problem is, how to justify going back to Victoria for a haircut...

Amanda Kohonen

Yolande Jones

I have the best hairstylist on the planet, and his name is Michael! He is a colour genius with ninja balayage skills. Absolutely love going to Gold Hair Lounge, I always look forward to my next appointment. ????

Chris Sackney

Fantastic experience here, I got my haircut from Juned and he did a fantastic job and met all my expectations for what I wanted, and I just went in there to do something wild and the quality of the finished product honestly gave me more confidence and I just love it! Great job Juned, great place ????

Zephyr Borsutzky

INCREDIBLE!!! Lee went above and beyond for my cut and colour, and I could not be happier!! Will definitely be going back!

Mary is a curl-hair expert. I enjoyed the visit.

farnaz va

Today I've had an amazing haircut with Michael.

Alan Humphries

September 2020. Gold Hair Lounge has done really well in making the salon as COVID safe as possible. Kaitlyn always does a nice cut, and she has a great personality.

Baye Drury

Irene was fabulous! Very thorough, very understanding of what I was looking for in a hair cut, very good, and so wonderful to spend an hour+ with. Thank you Irene!

Blue Sky

Juned did an awesome job ! I got my balayage done by him last week :) thank you! ❤️

Vicki Baxter

Juned did a great blowout for me!

T. Nile

Michael was lovely! I went blonde about a year and a half ago but it’s never looked this good. He knew exactly how to style and touch up my (pretty fried) hair and Covid roots and make me look like a rockstar. Highly recommend. Since writing this - I went and read a bunch of other reviews. I want to make very clear that I was not paid or given a discount to make a review- I just genuinely had an amazing experience there.

Tawnee Popil

Loved my cut and chat with Mackenzie! Highly suggest!

Wendy Pearson

Absolutely awesome !!!! Looked after me like I was a movie star. Micheal couldn't do enough to make me feel amazing! Even organized to get my nails done next door. My hair is awesome! I highly recommend Gold Hair Lounge!!

Kevin Gordon

Karen Rincon

I worked with Kaitlyn Hunter and the experience was awesome , she helped me to decide the best style for my hair ( which ended up being incredible and really beautiful), was soo friendly and energetic that made me feel comfortable and welcome. I would recommend her 100% and the place too!

Amanda Lawrence

Mrs B (Dee)

On June 15 of this year I went here for hair and makeup for my son’s wedding. I’ve never had a makeup artist like Lee do my makeup before. Lee was friendly, professional and pick perfect shades for me. Not only did it look good but it lasted all day! As a result pictures came out looking totally awesome!!! Our day was made more perfect by this service; thanks again Lee. Highly recommended!!

Samantha Spina

Great experience from start to finish! Juned was so nice, friendly and listened to exactly what I wanted! He knew what would look good and what would’ve been too much for me. I will go back and recommend him to anyone looking for a new stylist!

Ann Edelstein

Incredible service! Mary understood exactly what I had in mind for my hair trim and was a great conversationalist as well. She also offered great advice for future hair care. Highly recommend!

Emily S

Michael Is the best stylist I’ve experienced in many years of getting my hair cut and coloured. I’ve gone from bleached hair / baylayage-gone-wrong to a beautiful red, seamlessly. Michael has shown nothing but dedication to all aspects of his work with my hair wants and needs. He’s exceptionally professional and knowledgeable; his role as an educator in hair certainly shows through. I would highly recommend seeing him, whether what you’re looking for is simple or difficult, he’s got you covered! Five stars for sure!

Jeffy Samuel

This place is amazing! Juned is an amazing guy, helped me get the best hairstyle! I would totally recommend this place especially Juned!

Alia Tuttle

Excellent service! My hair came out wonderfully couldn’t be more happy with it

I had a haircut and colour with Juned and I could not be more happy. He is really an artist! A big thumbs up.

Narges Attarmoghaddam

I got a haircut the same as I had in mind.

Mia Cosco

I loved everything about this place. They were on time, professional and the lighting was amazing. The ambiance was refreshing and bright, just how I like it. Music was perfect: instrumental so you could talk over it and catchy so you felt …

Corine Séguin

It is always a pleasure to have my hair done by Michael. He is very meticulous and attentive. I always leave the Gold Hair Lounge with a smile on my face, feeling pretty and relaxed.

Elizabeth Belfry

I was sold the first time I walked in to Gold on the décor alone --- how can u go wrong featuring gold accents on everything? I knew it was the place for me!! The staff are so friendly and each person I've seen is talented and experienced at what they do. Michael is my go to guy there, especially when it comes to updos and styling, but I would be confident to recommend any one of them. Keep up the great work Gold!! ????

E Morales

A friendly and beautiful atmosphere. I had my hair cut by Sayaka. She did an amazing job, I feel like I have found my hair salon in Victoria! Will definitely be back!

Mel

I had literally the BEST hair cut I have ever received from Sayaka! She really listens to what you want and is very thorough . She's also very sweet and attentive. The salon is really clean and has a nice atmosphere:) I'll definitely be a regular client!

Darbs

This was my first time coming into the salon and I’m glad that I did! Erinn did my hair. It looks and feels amazing. She did such a great job. Taking my grown out black hair and turning into into this beautiful bright red. On top of that I have pretty bad social anxiety and she made me feel totally calm and comfortable. Super easy person to talk to. I will definitely be going back.

Grace Glowicki

Juned was amazing!!! Highly recommend him!!!

Heather Hulett

M for the hair save! Thanks for helping me transition back into the public eye! I luv my curly cut; just what I asked for????????!

Agnes Djioua

Olga Sokolova

I got excellent haircut from Juned. He is knowledgeable and experienced hairdresser. It worth every penny. Thank you, Juned.

Lorne Moore

Best place in Victoria to get a cut. Love the staff and atmosphere!

Sel Rook

Wonderful! Juned has an expert eye and a light touch. He listened to my needs and knew exactly how to revive my fine, (too) long hair. Juned’s voice is soft and his demeanour is calm, which I appreciate very much. I am very happy with my new summer vacation haircut. Thank you, very much, Juned.

Sophia I

Lorraine is great; I specifically see her for cuts and color, and even the occasional shampoo and style. She makes my visits extra amazing with her awesome scalp massage during the conditioning treatment. She's super talented and clearly loves what she does. I highly recommend Lorraine and Gold Hair Lounge!

Nikkita Pothorin

Lee is soooo amazing!!!

Emily Madigan

Erinn is a wizard! She brought my 2020 hair back to life. The salon is beautiful and they have a rad little dog. Highly recommend!

Allisa Wright

Had my hair highlighted and a treatment done for my blonde by Kaitlyn and I couldn't be happier. Incredible salon and Kaitlyn is a top tier stylist. I highly recommend this salon!!

Jiya Shoaib

Juned gave me the exact haircut I was looking for, I'm so happy with it! He understood the challenges with thick, wavy hair and was able to thin it out and shape it into a manageable and stylish look. I will definitely be back!

Jessica Whitney

It was probably the worst salon experience I have ever had. Went for a balayage and cut and the stylist made me sit with the colour in my hair for an hour and a half which completely fried my hair. When he was brushing out my wet hair it felt as though he was going to rip all of my hair out. On top of it all that whole experience cost me a ridiculous price of over $220.00 excluding tip.

myss A

Just got a Blowout done here ,One of my favourite places in Victoria to get my hair done at!!

Marc L

Sarah Powell

Lee was amazing. I will be back!

Nova Fairchild

Terrible experience. The staff was nice but had no idea what they were doing. All I wanted was a quick style by curling my hair with hot tools. My hair wasn't curled evenly at all by the end. It looked extremely sloppy and was barely curled at all except at the last two inches out my hair in some places (which is almost down to my hips so it was pretty much just straight). My hair is naturally curly but time consuming to deal with so I thought it would be nice to have someone else to style it. Boy was I wrong. I could have done a better job at home. Hell, it would have looked better if I did nothing at all.

Linda Grimaldi

Lee is great.

Kristen Cussen

Best salon experience ever. Michaela was my stylist and I’ve never left the salon feeling as gorgeous as I did. My curtain bangs look great & she even gave my hair a nice curl after my cut ???? She’s awesome and I’ll definitely be back as long as she’s my stylist again :)

Allison B

Just got a corrective cut from Sayaka. She’s absolutely amazing! ⭐️ She skillfully cut the bangs I actually wanted into a cut I had gotten elsewhere the day before. The salon space is fresh and welcoming, and Sayaka took her time to fully understand exactly what I was looking for. I’m extremely picky when it comes to having my hair cut, but after three years of searching I feel like I have finally found the best salon in the city!!!

Lucie von Schilling

Erinn did a balayage and cut , and did such a good job - she totally made my vision a reality. She is friendly and welcoming, and it was a lovely experience !

Little Clover

Had my first appointment yesterday and it was one of the best quality cuts I've ever had. The room itself is very open and nicely decorated. The staff are very friendly, both to the customers and eachother. There was no pressure to talk if you prefer to relax in silence while getting your hair cut. My hairdresser was Juned, a professional who pays close attention to detail and makes sure you're getting exactly what you're looking for! Another person working there named Sayaka gifted me a beautiful floral mask she made (I came with my own, but after commenting on how beautiful hers was, she came out with a handful of other ones she made!).. This was very sweet, and made my day extra special! Overall, my experience was very lovely! I will definitely be back! 10/10

Susie Pearce

Lorraine is amazing every time i go to the salon she makes my day. When I moved to Canada I struggled to find a hair dresser that understood my needs etc. I met Lorraine and she made me feel at home. She has been helping me find the real me and every time i get a cut and colour with her I am over the moon with the results and would recommend her to anyone. She is the best

Bev P

I took a “shot in the dark” while at a high end resort in Mexico over the holidays. It was THE worst experience of my entire life. I searched for the best reviews for colourists in Victoria & decided on Gold Hair Lounge. Easy peasy to book online & selected someone who could see me TODAY. Another “shot in the dark”…but THIS time it turned out to be THE BEST EXPERIENCE of my entire life!!! I told Juned that the highest honour we can give in the Navy is “Bravo Zulu” (BZ)! He earned this one!! I wish I could show you all the ‘before’ & ‘after’ pictures.

Chantal D

I’m so in love with my haircut and the experience I had! Great customer service!

Andrea Hambly

It was my first time at this salon and I had the pleasure of getting Lee. I Just recently moved to Victoria and was looking for someone that was really good with cutting and coloring blond hair. Lee didn’t disappoint . He listened to what …

Allison Savigny

Amazing haircut with Mary today! Thanks so much Gold Hair Lounge.

Lily Mignault

Lee is the best. Highly recommended for colour!!

H. S.S.

Michael is a fantastic hair color expert. He listened, heard my concerns, and delivered the best color I’ve had! Bonus; he knows curly hair! Love, love, love my hair. Highly recommend.

Sarah Smythe

Kaitlyn has cut my hair 3 times now. Each time she was personable, professional, and confident in her skills and advice. And to top it off, I always love the cut! She gives my hair a modern fresh look that works for my hair type and styling preferences. Thank you, Kaitlyn! The Lounge itself is bright, inviting, and clean. I feel relaxed and welcome in the space.

Nina Sandhu

Juned did an amazing job!

Laleh Rajabi

Excellent hair cut experience with Lindsey Kim. She is a professional☘️☘️☘️

Monica Dhawan

My whole family goes here! We go to Sayaka and Vancy and are happy every time. They really know what they’re doing. And Sayaka is great with young kids!

Gabby

Terrible service!! Tried the blow out and I could have done a much better job on my own at home. I was late for my function because I had to fix my hair. The stylist was aggressive and clearly inexperienced. I Initially thought it was going to be $35 - Got to the till and it came to $55 + tax. Total rip off.

Carly Crowe

I've been to Gold Hair Lounge 3 times now after wanting a change from Chatters and Juned always does a fantastic job. He is very thorough and understands how to deal with thick, wavy hair. The staff are all very polite and welcoming and the seats are comfortable. Definitely recommended!

Rachel A

Fun but still professional! Got me in quickly and trusted the stylist to do what they thought would look good. It turned out great!

Allison Barnes

Proper hair cut with Juned. Very clever.

Matthew Mossey

Found there service incredible. End result was amazing.Van is Highly recommended . Definitely going back !

Adrianna Hemminger

First time at this salon, l saw Mary and she is by far the best stylist l have ever been to. I have had alot of hair loss from stress and got a last minute appt. I wanted a complete change, both cut and color--more so color--and she took her time with me, suggested a better color than what l originally asked for and did an amazing job on both!!! I cannot recommend her or this salon enough. Never once did l feel pressured to buy products--just educated. Thank you Mary for a beautiful cut and color...I will definitely be back ❤.

Aaron Cornish

I had my appointment with Juned and he was nothing but professional. He helped me style my hair and tell me how I can sculpt it in the future, I look forward to coming back!

Priya Gill

I had an appointment with Kaitlyn. She was super friendly, professional and talented! I told her to do what she thought was best for my hair, and I'm loving it so far. I took her advice with regards to how to care for my hair and I couldn't be happier! Thanks girl ????!

Diane Shaskin

Sayaka is one of the most thoughtful and intelligent stylists working in Victoria today. She brings a very precise talent to her work. I highly recommend her colour techniques, her cuts and her styling ability. I have followed Sayaka since 2013 and I'm always amazed by her intense professionalism.

Norman McDonald

van has been cutting my hair for over 4 years and he ells great jokes. Always look forward to my haircuts!

Grace Darling

I was hesitant to try a new salon, but I am so grateful that I did. My stylist took note of my lifestyle and hair type and gave me an amazing cut.

Jessica Jupp

Thanks michaela and team! Excellent service and fun, friendly staff! Michaela, gave a great cut on curly hair, got the black box dye out of my hair and left me with soft hair and a beautiful colour! Thank you :)

I had the most beautiful experience last week at Gold Hair Lounge and Mary was absolutely exceptional. The environment was very positive, welcoming and CLEAN. Moving to Victoria from Toronto was worrisome for me because I didn't think I would be able to find something skilled enough to cut and colour my textured hair (Type 4A curls). I am very lucky and thankful that I found Mary at Gold Hair Lounge, she is a truly a colour expert and she really took the time to listen to me, which I really appreciated. Mary transformed my brassy orange hair to a neutral/ashy blonde with tons of dimension! I've received so many compliments from family and colleagues! I love my hair sooo much and I cannot wait to come back for my next appointment ! Thank you Mary!!!

Jacob Miton

M Mackenzie has been doing my hair for a while, followed them to this salon and it’s a fantastic experience. Always a 10/10 haircut, personable, charismatic, and extremely reliable. Gorgeous shop and energy.

Kristina Long

AmaIng experience. Michael was able to completely fix my colour after numerous bad jobs, a stint with Covid box dye and general neglect. He listened and delivered an amazing job. So glad I found someone I feel comfortable and can trust my hair with. If you’ve had bad experiences, are looking for someone to transform you or just seeking out an absolute professional I highly recommend him.

Leslie Wall

Michaela understood exactly what I was looking for in a cut! I was very pleased with the cut and style

Marina Brown

Love my haircut and colour! I would highly recommend! The service and experience at Gold Hair Lounge is excellent.The stylist I always go to is Stella - her care and attention to detail is amazing and her skills are out of this world... I am never disappointed no matter what I go in for (cut, colour, updo, etc). I will continue to go back and have finally found the hair salon and stylist for me!

Navi Takhar

Lee is the best ♥️

Marilyn Bojko

Cannot say enough good stuff about the staff and the service at Gold I have been going here for years and I am totally attached and amazed how they keep their commitment to personalized service unwavering! Of course, I give special accolades to Michael who has been doing my hair for years...recommended to me by a sweet young woman at the bus stop! That's how word gets around! Treat yourself to the GOLD experience! Marilyn Bojko

Michael Bouche was fantastic! Professional, warm and friendly. Great job, great cut! Would highly recommend and I will definitely be back!

alexis ryder

Just had my first visit earlier today, and since they're only into there second week open, I thought id leave a review for anyone who's considering going. I've been getting my hair cut/ coloured/ trimmed exc. for about a year already from Carlos and every time I leave i'm beyond happy with what he does. I saw him at his new location today (gold hair lounge) and as always, I'm beyond satisfied with my new cut. Walked out with confidence. He always has great suggestions with what products to use in my hair and he explains the products that he uses in my hair and what they do. The atmosphere in the salon is more then welcoming, which I find I have a hard time with at a lot of other places. I walked in feeling comfortable, confident and relaxed, unlike a lot of other places where I've felt out of place or as if I'm being judged. If you didn't know the GHL had just opened you wouldn't be able to tell either, the place looks amazing and well put together, perfect amount of space, bright lighting, which was perfect for being able to see everything that was going on with my cut, along with the massive mirrors. Anyways, I highly suggest checking out Gold Hair Lounge for your next hair care appointment. :D Oh and another great thing is every time I get my hair done by Carlos he always does a "check up" around 2 weeks later to see how it's settled and if I need/want any touch ups or changes. :D :D

My stylist is JUNED! He is much more than that; he is truly an ARTIST! I have had my hair done last July and then again this past April from JUNED. I had given him somewhat of an idea of what I wanted and he was thoughtful and kind and made a few suggestions to what I thought might look good. But he clearly took the reins and did the most amazing blonde color highlights and a trim. The color blended so well with my complexion and the way my hair grows. Putting foils in six or so months after the roots have grown out first foils have grown out is not the easiest task. Somehow JUNED made it look like I was born with these highlights. It sounds maybe a little silly, but just the time there relaxing and having someone wash my hair and put the color in makes a girl feel like a million bucks! I am so lucky to have had the pleasure to meet JUNED and have him do my hair. Like I said, the man is truly an artist and any one that gets the chance to have him as your stylist is one fortunate person!! THANK YOU JUNED!!

Matt Rideout

Just got a cut here from Kaitlyn. She was really nice. I would recommend her 100%. Thanks

Jade Daoust

i’ve never been so satisfied with a hair cut in my life! juned is the best !! :)

Kashish Sharma

I got a haircut from one of their hairstylist named lindsey. Not only she gave me an amazing haircut but also was very friendly and i had an amazing time there. Didn’t even realise when my haircut was done. Thanks lindsey for such an amazing service.

Darla Deschamps Montgomery

Love this salon. Fabulous, talented and knowledgable stylists and staff! So happy I found this place:)

Jasvir Kaur

I dont know how can I be more thankful to Sayaka for giving me exactly what I wanted. She waited extra 3 hours for me after her shift to do my hair and that to perfection. No one could understand me the way she did. She is honest and doesnot recommend anything that could go wrong. She is highly skilled, knowledgeable and resourceful. Despite end of the day, she put her hard work and performed in details.I used to be always disappointed before from all other salons until I got my hair done from Sayaka. She knows what she is doing and would never damage your hair. I have seen her doing haircuts for other people as well, she does amazing job.She is passionate about her work, kind and really great customer service. Salons need more people like Sayaka, who work on people like their own property. Can't wait to get done again from you.You can trust her blindly, she will give her best shot. Thank you gold hair lounge. You really have nice team members and Sayaka is my favourite :)Please let her know.

S. Santana

Great friendly staff and beautiful salon. Unfortunately, my hair colouring fell short. I asked for a light silver colour and was left with a grey colour that is super patchy with brassy and over toned areas. For the amount I payed and the 8 hours I sat in a chair, I am extremely disappointed by the service. I even booked with their most experienced colourist. Now, I’ve booked with another salon to fix these problems. Wish I went with a different salon. The appointment at Gold Hair Salon cost me cost me almost $500! I expected at that cost, it would have been be perfect. :(

Amanda Jackson

I had an amazing experience at Gold Hair Lounge with Juned. He clearly knows what he is doing, and is a professional in all sense of the word. I wanted my hair to go from Strawberry Blonde to a more champagne blonde colour. That was what I got, the colour turned out great and the techniques used were tailored to my wants but also the actual needs of my hair. Would highly recommend not only Gold Hair Lounge, but Juned himself.

Meticulous Watches

Lisa Chorninky

Very professional and super friendly staff

Elyza Tylor

Lindsey is a wonderful stylist!!!

Marylou Sewell

Michael goes the extra mile!

Emma Zolbrod

My stylist at my usual salon wasn't available, and I was in dire need of a haircut. Juned came highly recommended by a friend, so I decided to give him a try. He gave me the best haircut I have ever had! It was a completely new style based on a discussion that we had at the beginning of the appointment. I waited a few weeks before writing this review as I have found in the past that you sometimes leave a salon, but you can never make your hair look that good again. This was definitely not the case after seeing Juned. He did such a brilliant job that my hair is easy to manage, even with minimal effort. I would highly recommend Juned to anyone in Victoria.

Janet Darby

Thank you Juned! Your talent is off the charts and I hope to be coming to you for a very long time.

Heidi Foord

Michael is a true artist. Great communicator, detailed, and superbly talented. Always consistently fabulous results. Everyone at the salon is friendly, and helpful. An enjoyable experience every time!

Felicia Davis-Gosling

Juned took great care of me and I love my new hair style! Highly recommend.

Chelsey A. Stickney

If you want to feel safe and that both the salon staff as well as customers are being looked after during this time The Gold Hair Lounge does a fantastic job! I would always recommend going to see Kaitlyn there, she does an amazing job, you will feel so much better when you leave her chair.

Carolyn Converse

It’s really rare to find a stylist that you trust will give you a great haircut and colour , is creative and you don’t mind spending 3 hours once a month with. Michael is the one! I have quirky hair and love to try different styles and colours. Each visit he has done something a little different , that is fun and easy to maintain. A nice bonus is the salon is small and casual with just the right amount of pizazz.

Mercia Gorza

Needed makeup and hair done for a New Years occasion. The salon was lovely. Lee was amazing! He was very particular and a very talented and skillful makeup artist. I would highly recommend Lee and the salon for any hair or makeup service needs.

Alexis Louise

Got another beautiful blowout.Best salon in Victoria I never have to worry I always leave with beautiful hair ❤️

Codie Toomer

I didn't have the best experience the first time I went. However, they were happy to correct it and offered me an appt to come back and resolve the issue. I went back and had my appt with Juned. He was excellent! Very communicative of the process etc, and did a wonderful job! I will absolutely be back and book future appts with him. He is also very great with blonde! Highly recommend him and this salon!

Seda Piloyan

I'm very picky with my haircuts but it's safe to say Van is the best hairdresser I've ever been to. He's fun to talk to and did my hair exactly how I wanted him to

Margaret Hunt

Always happy coming here. I am 75, and my daughter who is 50 loves it here, too. She used to work here.

Julia Burton

I've been seeing Michael at Gold Hair Lounge for about a year now and he is always extremely professional, knowledgeable, honest and easy to talk to! He has helped me add some blonde in my hair without damaging it and gives me great advice about how to maintain my healthy hair. I've always had a great experience at Gold! Everyone is very friendly!

Laura Finley

I had balayage done here a few weeks ago, and I really wanted to love it but it’s the worst balayage I’ve had. It’s not blended at all and just looks like I have roots grown out already- super disappointed.

Hannah van Esch

I managed to book an appointment very last-minute and they were happy to accommodate me, the staff were friendly and professional. Lindsey was a great stylist and super relaxed, would absolutely recommend Gold Hair Lounge

G sanghera

I went in for a big change to my hairstyle, and Juned was extremely wonderful. He worked with me on the look I was going for, and created a whole new style for me that I am now completely obsessed with. He is professional and kind, and I Will definitely be back to see him again.

I moved to Victoria last December and selected Gold due to the positive online ratings. I was fortunate enough to get an appointment with Juned and have been seeing him since for color (blond) and cut. Juned is talented and professional. I can’t recommend him highly enough. He is thoughtful and spends a great deal of time with me during each appointment talking to me about what I want and what he would recommend. Juned is truly fantastic and I feel lucky to have found him!

I have just had JUNED do my hair. I have just met my new permanent stylist! The level of true artistry Juned has is is so impressive. I am just in awe! I had blonde highlights, a cut and an amazing conditioning treatment done. He has made an otherwise trying and sad time in my life a little bit better!! Thank you, HUNED

Maureen Harris

I am so happy with my haircut! Thank you.

Fantastic experience. Coming out of my 5-year-DIY colour mess, the transformation is on! In just one session I left with a cute cut, style, and lovely, artistically painted colour, chosen custom for my complexion and hair goals. It looks and feels great. This is the place to go. Almost makes me wish Michael hadn't done such an incredible job, so that I could go back in again sooner than my next appointment! But something tells me Incredible is his middle name. All of the staff were personable, professional and Skillllled beyond skilled. Loving Gold Hair Lounge ♡

Sierra

Juned is the best hair stylist I have ever had! I have been bouncing around salons over the past few years and I am so grateful that I found a stylist that is incredibly professional and talented. I absolutely love my balayage and I will definitely be back in the future for all my hair care needs.

Cara Wenger

Juned was absolutely amazing. By far the best hair cut/colour I've ever had. He took his time to make sure it was perfect. He didn't rush at all. As we just moved here, I was so nervous finding a new saloon. I lucked out with my first attempt. My hair looks and feels great. Juned is so talented but he's also so kind and personable too. I highly recommend this saloon.

Kris Davidson

Great place to get a haircut!!!! Highly recommended!!!!

Kim Held

Sorry can't give more than two stars.

Rosa Harris

Great, confident personalized service. Michael stays abreast of trends and is willing to work with his clientele to achieve the style, cut and colour that not only works best for them, but also takes their taste into account. I've tried many, many hairdressers in Victoria and am so glad I found him.

Thea Cherry

Juned gave me the haircut of my dreams! Highly recommend him for all your hair needs.

Milena Arauz

I was recommended to go to Gold by a friend and I am so glad I did because my expectations were blown away as soon as I sat down. The staff is easy to converse with, very attentive to detail and most importantly they listen to exactly what I wanted and they deliver!

Rob Robdobhoward

I saw Juned. He was awesome - colour was beautiful and he took such care with the cut. Highly recommend.

Sheilah Frost

Juned was amazing. I have been blonde for as long as I can remember. Juned suggested a darker root and blonde ends. I am so pleased with the final colour and cut. I have depth to my hair and the colour matches my skin tone. If you are looking for a change and you want a professional go and see Juned.

I had been canceled on by one salon, then at another salon the person told me they could not do ash blonde balayage. I had planned to get my hair done before I went on holidays but did not know where to go last minute and with summer being busy..... After getting in on short notice I was able to see Erinn. She was able to match up my roots and did exactly what I wanted. I hate having brassy yellow, and prefer the California, lived in blonde look with different blonde tones and she was able to do it with out any issues. Highly recommend especially for blonde hair others may not be comfortable doing! Amazing salon ????

Janelle Critchley

I got my hair dyed for the first time ever with Juned and he did an amazing job of making the color look natural and striking at the same time. I am thrilled with the outcome.

Crystal Milz

Juned did a excellent job with my hair! He was very detailed with my undercut and spent a lot of time on my layers since I have thick hair. All the staff were also very kind and doing a excellent job on sanitizing even though the salon was busy :) Thank you all!

Sage Morrison

Got my hair coloured by Irene, 10/10 experience & results :)

Monique Maillard

Michael is not only an extraordinary stylist, he is a wizard with colour. Each time I leave Gold with a wonderful new cut, beautiful and easy to manage. Thank you for the great care you take.

Barbara Jean Edwards

I had a great cut from Sayaka, she knew what to do with my hair for a good result

Kayla Botelho

As soon as I walked in I was welcomed with warm smiles! I could feel the good energy right away. Very exceptional place! The staff and owners are lovely! My stylist Juned was so kind, and so passionate about his work! He did a great job on my hair and I’m looking forward to seeing him again!

Mary was amazing! I love my hair so much! Thank you ????

Kelly R

Mary was absolutely amazing. I had my hair extensions installed this afternoon and Mary was the stylist. Had a great experience from start to Finnish. Super professional, great conversation, super down to earth. Was very efficient and installed the wefts with excellent precision. I felt very comfortable the whole time. Would highly recommend Mary! Thanks Mary! See you again soon!

Linda Cheeseman

Gold Hair Lounge is an exceptional and very professional hair salon. I was happy to be Michael’s first client on their re-opening - he always makes me look good & feel good - thank you????! Everyone at Gold is very knowledgeable in all areas and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, while being totally professional . The steps taken to deal with the social distancing and sanitizing issues have been superb. Clients and staff wear face masks (provided free by the salon), gloves are worn, stations are wide apart and continuous cleaned, and appointments are spaced out. I felt totally safe and protected. I highly recommend Gold Hair Lounge!

Matthew S

Great hair cuts but the price has increased to nearly double what I paid a 2-3 years ago. I told the receptionist this and they were like whatever.... I guess return costumers are not that important to them. I cannot afford it anymore. Bye

Camellia Lam

It was fantastic service! My hairdresser was very nice and she talked me through the entire process with every step made sure I was comfortable i.e. whether the water was too warm, whether I was okay with product in my hair etc. Something I'm sure a lot of people highly appreciate because it made sure I got exactly the haircut I wanted.

Sibelle Domingo

i love how kaitlyn explain the process and how the color will look like on my hair. all the stuff are friendly and very professional.

Tasha Stackhouse

My only difficulty at the salon was that the music was a bit on the loud side and sometimes made it hard to hear and speak over while trying to talk and wearing masks. Juned was a very professional, knowledgeable, and skilled stylist. He went to great lengths to ensure I was comfortable, and kept up to date while I was waiting for my appointment time. He was attentive and listened carefully to what I was looking for; gives a wonderful scalp massage during shampoo/conditioning; gave me a beautiful cut and style; and worked to show me how to replicate it on my own. He was very respectful and didn't try to sell me extra product that I didn't need. I would absolutely recommend him, and look forward to my next appointment!

maika houde

I 100% recommend this salon I absolutely loved my experience. Juned was my hair stylist and he completely transformed my hair from brassy to a gorgeous icy blond. The staff were all friendly and the prices good. I will be returning.

Julia Brown

I love gold! They go above and beyond for their clients and the owners truly care about their staff! It’s a great local family owned business.

Moira Bergstrome

I tried Gold Hair Lounge for the first time, and was extremely happy! The atmosphere is pleasant and Lorraine was so excellent. She actually listened to what I wanted, and she surpassed my expectaions for an amazing cut and experience! I have found my new "go to" place! AND reasonably priced. All in all, so thrilled to have found this!

Mark Fontaine

Always professional and friendly. Nothing but compliments on the haircut after going to Gold Lounge and seeing Juned or Erinn.

Christine BC

I loved this place, I was passing through Victoria but all the staff made me feel so welcomed and at ease it felt like I was a regular. Michael was amazing, he's a great stylist, I love my hair now and will definitely go back to GHL when I'm in Victoria again!

Anna L

Today I went into Gold Hair Lounge for the first time and Juned cut my hair. I told him the basics of what I wanted, he did that as well as go above and beyond. My once lifeless head of hair, is brought back to life and I couldn't be happier. I would recommend him to anyone wanting a quality cut, as he is very knowledgeable, talented and kind. I will definitely visit again. Thank you Juned, I love my hair!

Amanda Pawlowski

Kaitlyn did a fantastic job with my hair. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.

Lorie

Very professional and accomodating staff. Hands down to my hairstylist from Ontario, Canada. I will come back whenever I’m in town for a visit.???? I can't wait to get my hair colour done with her.????‍♀️

Laur Paquet

It was my first time coming to Gold Hair Lounge, everyone was super friendly and professional. I was slightly unsure on the look I wanted coming in, Juned gave me good advice and did a phenomenal job. I absolutely love my new hair. Best salon in Victoria by far!!

Maureen Sharp

Lee did an amazing job

Shannon P

Loved it!!

J&K B

Mark Taggesell

Juned is an amazing dude and a great stylist. Took my first 'big risk' with my hair with him. Ended up from going a long haired strawberry blonde to shorter grey hair after years and years of long hair. Highly reccomend and shoutout to Juned for staying late for me!

Lanelle Hockridge

Juned is awesome, did what I asked for and beyond!! I will definitely be coming back!!

K

Amazing quality service and great atmosphere. Juned was incredibly skilled and knew exactly the limits of my very damaged hair and gave me a wonderful cut to begin my healthy hair journey. I struggle with pretty brutal social anxiety and …

alexandra Innes

Lee’s styling of lovely smooth curves held in my usually wavy hair that tends to frizz. It was raining when I walked outside. No frizz! Fantastic blow dri !

ethan han

overprice and the service not worth the price. no on time and not friendly.

Alina Floch

Kaityln at Gold Hair is a fabulous stylist (very personable, talented, organized) - and the salon is lovely and modern, using high quality products!

Shannon Firman

Fantastic service and skills. Went from long hair to short and they did an amazing job! You can put your trust in these stylists, they know what they're doing!

Victoria

Kaitlyn worked her magic and turned my dark brown box-dyed hair into golden perfection. She was so pleasant and lovely, she really listened to what I wanted, and she made it happen! It is a challenge to turn any box dyed dark brown hair into a light ash/blonde, but she did it! She is the only person I've found in Victoria who has done exactly what I wanted (even down to how I like my hair curled). She gave so many great recommendations for aftercare and upkeep as well. I will definitely be going back. I'm so beyond happy! Thanks, Kaitlyn!

Tony Dierick

Ian Gabriel

Come here from Vancouver just to get my haircut. Highly recommend.

Lynn Davies

Making the tricky transition from coloured hair to my natural grey. Michael provided an informative consultation to support my decision making. We’ve completed the first step and he did a great job. Thank you!

Terry Preston

Sayaka is an amazing stylist. Love my cut. Thank you!

LaVerne Mullane

I love this place. My stylist is Michael and he is awesome. I could not be happier with my style and cut.

Muskan Muskan

The best and only go to point is Gold hair lounge and the person who makes it best is Juned. I love my hair now. Thank you so much for doing this amazing job????????????????????????????????????

Sarah Rozanski

Juned is a great hair stylist! He spoke about my preferences throughout my haircut and im really happy with the results. He's friendly, professional, and very good at what he does.

khyati shrivastav

Thank you Juned for the awesome haircut! You were able to help me with exactly what I was looking for! :)

A V

Have had a good experience every time! I really appreciate when stylists have a good eye for what looks good on the person and what works for their hair type.

Emma dorland

Love my haircut, exactly what I wanted. Amazing staff - especially Michaela! Will definitely be coming back :)

Jillian Hannah

Such a positive experience with Juned as my stylist! Cute cut and a relaxing time in the salon :)

Tanis Petrie

Juned was an amazing hairdresser! He paid fine attention to detail and gave me exactly what i wanted. My hair color, cut, and style is beautiful!

E Bargh

Kerry Scott

I am a new client of Lee’s. Today marked my third appointment for foil highlights since the beginning of this year. Suffice to say Lee blew my mind! I was very happy with the colour before today’s service, but he achieved my dream look today, which I didn’t think was possible. I just didn’t think we had made enough progress with the colour, but he nailed it! I am beyond thrilled and cannot recommend Lee enough! #GoldHairLounge!

Julie Collens

Juned cut and colored my pandemic hair after not having done anything to it for > 1 year. I loved it, and he completely understood what I wanted while making great suggestions to make it even better.

Deanna Roch

Mary is first class! We enjoy going to Gold Hair Lounge always a friendly experience. Kayla LOVES her do!

Katie Barrette

Juned did an amazing job with my cut and colour. I received a balayage that blended beautifully with my natural roots, and the best haircut I think i've ever had in my life. He listened, was thoughtful, and worked with me achieve a look that was better than I expected. Thrilled with the outcome, already booked my next appointment!

Lauren Fraser

My hairstylist Lee was amazing and I will definitely be coming back

Dalyce Armstrong

Had a blowout done by Lee for some photos. Very friendly and I was happy with the result.

Allison Levy

Thank you Erinn for the relaxing experience. I felt you were very invested in making sure my colour was what I wanted. Gorgeous.

Emily Jackson

I have never felt SO good after getting a haircut. I had super long hair and got a drastic angled lob from Kaitlyn. I've never had short hair so I was freaking out to say the least. Kaitlyn cut my hair in stages, shorter each time, checking in with me after each stage to make sure I was comfortable with the length. She put a lot of care into it and understood how nervous I was. I also didn't need to explain what I wanted in much detail, she immediately understood and I felt we were on the same page from the start. It looks better than I thought it would! To anyone getting a short haircut in Victoria, go see Kaitlyn! You will 100% not regret it! It usually takes me a couple days to get used to a new haircut but I immediately loved it because she's that good. Thanks Kaitlyn!!

Hemlata Shirsat

They listen. That's the the best thing I can say about a stylist. I had an appt with Kaitlyn. Very satisfied. Though I do wish they had a phone in the salon instead of down at deco de mode. I had a couple of questions and could never get hold of the stylist.

Amy Hashemi

I had a platinum blonde balayage with a root blend and a cut with Juned from Gold Hair Lounge and it's the best color I've been treated to since I began coloring my hair. Juned listened to what I was envisioning for my hair and the provided some ideas to darken the roots to make it a more trendy look. I couldn't be happier with my cut, and I will be coming back to Vancouver Island from the lower mainland to have my hair done by him in the future. AMAZING stylist!

lola lola

???? wow ! Moved to Victoria and was looking for a hairdresser for my daughter, Erin did an outstanding job, by colouring, cutting and styling my daughters hair. And it was a reasonable pricing ! Would book it again !!!

Ronda Nicklen

Michael is a delight to watch. He is an artist and cuts my hair with incredible skill and the results are amazing!

Ursula Steele

Michael at Gold Hair Design is a truly an artist He is able to work with the client to determine style preferences and has an indepth understanding of hair structure and how a cut will work given that structure. For the first time in my life I can wash my hair, comb it out , and go. I do not have to blow dry or curl my hair anymore because his cut and styling works so well. I recommend him and the salon highly. The salon is clean, stylish and people seem to like working there. A great team.

Monika Manhas

I’ve been going to Gold on and off for a couple of years for blowouts. Lee is the best. He fits me in on jam packed days and makes my long curly hair look like princess jasmine ❤️

Madison Esau

Lee was amazing. Made my hair feel healthy again while still keeping length. Exceeded all expectations!

Kmw101

Lindsay was very nice. She listened to what I wanted and did an amazing job on my hair cut. She also blew out my hair which is much appreciated. Her polite demeanor and skills will be the reason I book back with her! Thanks Lindsay :)

Em

When I visited this place, a Japanese hair stylist rolling her eyes and bad mouthing me with another stylist. I never had such a poor experience. Definitely would not recommend.

Sajida Khuki

I went to this salon last week after seeing the reviews. I did use the service for root touch up with Lee P. Root touch up was ok but she does not know how to cut hair. She actually did nothing. After coming home when I style my hair it looks the same. I paid around 250 $ and I am very disappointed. She was late to start about 30 minutes. I am very frustrated with the service from this high end salon. Please think prior going there.

Cheryl Greany

Kaitlyn did an amazing job restyling my hair, helping me recover from a botched haircut done in the U.S. Can't thank you enough, Kaitlyn!

I want to share my experience and will try to keep all emotion out and be candid so others can make a decision based on facts. I have a ton of pictures and no reason to lie. I am also a local. I wanted to try a new stylist and get a second opinion from the person that did my hair for the past year with not very consistent results. I found Gold Salon online through a Google search. It was rated high and had several positive comments - read on for why that is. I researched them, and six other hair salons across Greater Victoria. I selected Michael based on user reviews that described him as "not only an extraordinary stylist, he is a wizard with color." His website profile touts him as "chemical smoothing treatment, color formula and color correction specialist." I booked a consult with him, super nice guy. During my consult, I showed several pictures of ME, with different variations of me as a blond. I have been a blond for a decade, I have no issues with lifting, bleaching, processing, never had damaged hair that required professional treatment. I know my hair quite well. But i am not an expert. My hair looked "thirsty" to him, which i don't deny. One hindsight comment i note now is that during the consult he had nothing positive to say about any of the products I have been previously using - bad Moroccan Oil, bad argan oil, bad Olaplex, bad KMS, bad AG, even Redken soft shampoo was not good - basically nothing but his products met his standards. I chalked it up to Sales glib, and even thought this could be why my hair wasn't consistent. I believed him. Day of makeover is on, I was so excited as my dark roots were 10 weeks grown (yuk!). I spent 4.5 hours in his chair that day and he dried it with my back turned so it could be a surprise (that was my choice too - i was so excited!). As he dried it, he commented on some inconsistency of the color and said I should come back in a few days to fix it. When i got to see it, it looked blond, but i didn't really inspect it in that detail. He said my hair lifted really well, but he needs to tone it once more. I left a hefty 25% tip and walked out thinking no biggie, I’ll come back in a few days. I got home and maybe the lighting in the salon was too white to notice, but upon inspection, it had more than 3 differing colors in it. I had an ashy color at the roots, scattered warm and cool blond throughout, but most noticeably, purple/blue highlights scattered around my crown. In a ponytail, you only saw purple. I liked the blond but the purple was too noticeable to go to work with. So I called and asked him to take me earlier. It was just a toner after all. He did. I went in the next day. I told him I loved the color (blond) throughout, but it needs to be one color and it can’t be purple. I was humorous and polite, but at his mercy at this point. I honestly thought a toner was all I needed. But he decided to "neutralize" my hair for some reason, to make it match the ashy root color. I asked if it’s safe for my hair, his reply “with my products it is”. 2.5 hours later (7 hours total) he is heat drying it again. I comment that it is much darker (ashy) and asked him why he darkened it. He said I matched your roots. I said, oh but I was okay with the blond, just not the blue. He said oh, sorry. He saw the disappointment in my face, but actually made the comment that my hair has been a challenge for him and is beyond his skill level. He knew i was never coming back. My hair is actually less blond than it was when I walked in. He says it will lighten over the washes, i'm hoping he's right but have little faith. The ultimate bummer is that my hair is burnt along my crown. It is white along my forehead and I visibly lost hair around the crown (i have an inch and a half left along the top of my head). It also still looks thirsty after one wash - no shampoo, no heat. On a separate but worthy note, they provide client discounts for google reviews. You would only leave a positive review if you intend to go back for that discount.

Lisa Graziadei

I am from out of town and was very nervous having my hair cut and colored only a few days before my wedding. Juned did a fantastic job. He listened to what I wanted, made some great suggestions and totally put me at ease. I would highly recommend Juned. Thank you Gold and Juned for a great experience!

Janette Magne

Deciding to embrace the grey is not an easy decision. With Michael's expertise, he was able to work his magic by giving me highlights to blend into my hair style. The grey blended in and the cut was amazing. Very pleased with the end result. Thank you

Lofu93

Once again Michael did wonders with colouring my hair! Very knowledgeable and professional! Love going to this hair salon!

Kathleen Hare

I made a last minute appointment to get my hair cut at Gold while I was visiting Victoria from Pender Island. I was matched up with M and I couldn’t have been more happy about it! M understood exactly what kind of style I was looking for …

Diane Ray

Salon was very clean and Katelyn was very professional, quick and knowledgeable.

Jill Sandman

Was not told my professional stylist was a student. My hair was bleached to the point where it completely broke off about 1 inch from my scalp all over the hairline perimeter. The owner of the salon, Anna , promised me a conditioning treatment . I confirmed with her the day of my appointment - drove 45 mins down to vic only to be told that I had no pavement and they would not get me until the following week. Start to finish it was terrible service mistakes happen but they did nothing to correct it and make it right absolutely horrible would not recommend a salon the owner or the stylist. The salon does not back up at their stylist they do not supervise them and yet they charge you above and beyond what is the going rate thumbs down

Alicia Yen

Asking for fake reviews to get a discount. Tisk. Tisk. Terrible colour work. Never returning.

Khushboo Rai

Juned was excellent! It was my first time at Gold's and I was little scared for my haircut but it turned out pretty good! Great service!!

angelique avila

Tyra Sander

Vast experience, listened and had great ideas... Juned is fantastic! I love my stylish new summer haircut :)

Julia Desrosiers

Amie

This place is very warm and welcoming the moment you step in the door! I highly recommend Juned- he is very talented and professional, and clearly takes pride in his work. He did exactly what I asked for which can be hard to find in a stylist when it comes to blonde hair.

M L

Clean, professional, and very careful about social distancing. I had an excellent experience with Michael from the moment I entered the shop. He is incredibly kind, talented, and welcoming. I cannot recommend Gold Hair Lounge enough.

Jessica Rudy

Erinn was a pleasure to hang out with today. She was very honest about what we could achieve with my hair and I look forward to seeing her again. I appreciate the honesty, the way she told me I had high expectations for my hair was very professional and appropriate for the situation. I will definitely recommend seeing her and I will 100% be back to see her, and look forward to it. Thank you so much.

Kirsten Margaret

Probably one of my worst haircuts ever. My stylist didn’t work with my curly hair at all my hair is worse than when I walked in. I’m left having to get a repair haircut elsewhere because they wouldn’t do one themselves. Definitely would not recommend.

Cameron Fleming

Fed F

I highly recommend Juned for anyone looking to get a haircut and/or colouring done! He exceeded all my expectations, and even stayed after hours (until midnight!) for me and my mom... five stars all the way!! Can’t say enough good things about Juned, but if you’re looking for a celebrity-level professional stylist, he is your guy. He also has a good sense of humour which made the appointment that much more pleasant .

Jodie Corbeil

Eva

Cyrus Montazemi

I don't get good haircuts often, but ask for Sayaka she's dope.

g g

My friend got the worst haircut from a stylist named Juned, not worth all the money. (he didn't even give him a shampoo)

Andrea Kuypers

I’ve seen Mary about 4 times now and each time she does a great job. I get roots, a cut and sometimes highlights. I’ve also seen other clients she’s worked on and they look great! I’d recommend both Mary and the salon! ????

Lindsay Reynolds

My first experience at Gold Lounge was fantastic. The staff are friendly and professional. Michael is very dedicated to his craft and he is very knowledgeable about color - especially blonde! My hair is very finicky and he was able to touch up my roots with the color blending perfectly. I will definitely go back to see Michael. I was referred by a friend and was satisfied with the great reviews online - it did not disappoint! Thanks!

Kendall Milroy

Lianne Tomfohr

June’s is the best hairdresser I have ever had. He’s confident and very skilled. He does my hair now, my husband and my daughter. I highly recommend!

Rajiv Gandhi

Terry Walker

Great place. They listened to what I wanted and did a great job. Professional, friendly, clean and very comfortable atmosphere

Amanda Robins

I came in for a haircut with a tall order to fill - my style had grown out and was a hot, uneven mess, I am attempting to grow my hair out, and short as it was, I did not want to go too much shorter because I need to be able to stuff my hair under a swim cap on the regular. Shawnie B was amazing, friendly and clearly competent. My tall order didn't phase her, and I walked away extremely satisfied and making a follow-up appointment on the way out. A very positive experience.

Lori Anderson

Sayaka has excellent shear skills. She is so very competent in cutting my precision haircut. Thank you!!

jane kim

Michael is Awesome ????

Arthur Lander

Very Cool Place very cool STYLE... I recommend

Paul

Thank you Vancy for a 10/10 haircut. See you next time! Another great hair cut at Gold.

Matthew Hull

Vancy is great!

Angela Kostiniuk

Kaitlyn saved my hair! Amazing artistry and care:)

Jamie-lee Ijas

I came to this salon after just having moved here in July of 2017. It had great reviews, I needed a cut before starting my new job. The staff and reception were very kind! I don't remember my stylists name, she was a very sweet Armenian girl....but she gave me a VERY blunt, not well blended layer cut... I had her curl my hair after to try to blend it all together a bit better... If I didn't curl it a very specific way...then I literally had the worst SHELF of hair layered over my thin long bottom layer. It was not pretty. I ended up having to cut 4.5 inches off the match the thick giant layer (after it had grown out a little bit). I never complained because she was very sweet and I felt like maybe I could just deal with it or fix it myself! I spent the rest of the summer hiding my hair in buns until I finally got it fixed at Artist Salon! This salon seems great I think I just ended up with a student or fluke experience.

Igor Duda

I would love to share my experience at Gold it was absolutely amazing definitely coming back!!!

Conor Doherty

Van is the man. Thanks for the men’s cut.

clover mcclure

Had a wonderful experience at Gold's Hair Lounge! Would recommend Juned Z. as he new exactly what I wanted and helped me get there with style and ease. He worked magic with my long hair ???? and is extremely talented!! Thanks so much Juned ????

Jacqueline Ellis

The colour line is amazing and my hair looks and feels so good after the service here. My colour has not faded over the 5 weeks and after my root colour today, my hair looks and feels amazing and there is no sign of the product on my skin. This is a beautiful salon and the people are fun, friendly and professional.

Jocelyn DeLorme

Mary did my balayage and it looks AMAZING! At first I wanted a silvery-grey one, but she suggested because of my skin tone that it wouldn’t pop and her execution on what she recommended looks so good! She killed it. Found my new regular stylist for sure!

Izabella Banuta

The Hair stylist was nice, polite and did a good job.

alizay Saleh

It was my first time at this salon and Junad cut my hair, the cut I wanted was very technical and specific. He did an excellent job and delivered almost exactly what I had asked for, he took his time and knew how to work with my thick long hair, I will definitely be back to Gold Hair Lounge with Junad :)

Quinton Bracken

Angela Strueby

Juned did an amazing job at my balayage and hair cut. Highly recommend!

Kailey Turpin

Kaitlyn is amazing!!!!!!! She always does exactly what I want. Highly recommend!! xo

Jim Martell

Vancy was a total pro, friendly and super accommodating. Couldn’t be happier with the haircut and will definitely be going back.

Binita Gandhi

Juned did an amazing job on my hair, I gave him a few ideas and he pulled them together really well and was able to colour my hair without bleaching it. It looks great and service was incredible! Super kind and knowledgeable too.

Chantel Diminie

I came across Gold Hair Lounge while looking for a last minute blow out. I was able to secure an appointment with Juned. I was so happy I did! Juned was very attentive, worked efficiently and had such a warm , engaging , welcoming demeanour. I instantly felt comfortable and cared for . Beyond his calm and comforting personality , his work was superb . I had my hair washed and blown out and it looked incredible!!!! I can honestly say this was the best blow out I have ever had. I was so impressed with his Juned that I am now going to return for highlights and a cut despite already having a salon I currently frequent near my home. Thank You so much!

Mandy Smith

I love this place! Juned is awesome, my hair was a mess and he did such an amazing job fixing it!

I got tape in extensions done with Mary. She did not wash my hair in between removing extensions and placing them back on (as you’re supposed to with a clarifying shampoo to get the glue residue out), but charged me the regular price. She also did not match up my extensions when she was done and they were choppy and had extreme layers showing. I had to ask her to do that…

Heather Patton

I honestly have not had a great hair cut since before covid. To begin with I don't have, "pretty hair." It is fine and thin, but crazy curly. I don't know how to care for it and most of the time it just looks fuzzy. M was amazing. They talked me through the whole process of caring for my curls, and I walked away with a chic and easy to care for hair cut. My hair feels thick and healthy for the first time in years. The salon has a nice laid back vibe and I would highly recommend Gold Hair Salon and M as a stylist. I got a great cut and an education in curls ????
