Reviews of Rock Salon & Spa Inc The (Hairdressing)

Terri Morrissey

I followed Tyra to The Rock because I feel she’s the only person ever who “gets” my hair. After over 40 years of hating it she has made me love my hair. My 2 daughters also see Tyra and we are all beyond happy with her work. I 100% recommend Tyra at The Rock.

Sarah V

Great experience with a same-day hair appointment I made - the service was so efficient and enjoyable, and I am very happy with the results. Wish I had come here sooner.

Breanna Kennedy

If you want to come out with the most beautiful blond you could imagine, I would recommend Carrie 10/10 times! I have not ever been so happy with the results of my color from anywhere else. It was great service from start to finish!

Hailey

Jonathan David's Painting

Definitely the best salon in St Albert, Caroline is our hair stylist and she is wonderful as a person and incredible with both women's and men's hair. The ownership is great at Rock salon, and they are always friendly with excellent customer service and very knowledgeable with there products. We appreciate there services very much.

Thanks to the Rock Salon I now have over processed, chemically burnt hair that is breaking off every time I touch it. You guys are great and you don’t seem to care about it. Would post a 0 star review if possible. Just so you know, I’m telling everyone I know. Over priced as well..

DrFlailGood

Horrific experience, was charged way too much for unevenly dyed hair, don't think the hairdresser had any idea what she was doing......... Couldn't be more disappointed.

Chris Schoonderwoerd

Great service!

Arlene Grant

Love it!

Brandon Comparelli

Tara gave me the best haircut I've ever had in my life! It's nice to be handsome again!

Stephanie Gruhle

Loved the service, always love Aveda salons however disappointed in the price, I had called to book and requested a rough quote on how much a wash & blowout would be, advised I have long hair and was quoted $55. When it came time to pay it was $78.00 because I had extensions that were sewn in. Although I was incredibly happy with my stylist and the way she styled my hair I have never had a salon up charge for permanent extensions. Just disappointed is all especially after calling ahead for a quote on long hair and was in and out of the salon within 1 hour.

Carrie Moen

I have never had such a great experience getting my hair done. Head massage was the best and pedicure was just amazing.

Wyatt Hoover

My girlfriend went there to get her hair died red and they redid three times and never got even close to red. One of the worst experiences and customer service every. Would never suggest going to them at any point in time. There's no proffesionallity what so ever. No wonder it's always empty.

Loretta Zutz

Came for a hair and makeup trail run for wedding in july. Tara helped me figure out which hair accessory would work best in my fine hair. She asked lots of questions and listened to me. Carrie did a beautiful job of the makeup. It's a little more money than I usually spend on myself but they really do know how to work with you to make you happy

Maddy Noble

I have been going to the rock salon for years & have never been disappointed! The staff are extremely friendly & helpful. Tara always does a great job with my hair. My foils & cut come out looking amazing everytime. If you want bomb hair Tara is definitely the girl to see!!

Jodi Wilkinson

" I've been going to The Rock Salon & Spa for years and I'm always excited to see what I'll do next with my hair. I get my manicure and pedicure every other visit because the gel polish they use lasts such a long time. I highly recommend The Rock to everyone!

Gino Rodrigues

Lidia is amazing. Love this place..

Nathan

Disappointing haircut to say the least.

Shayle Nelson

I haven't been here in quite a while but remember it being a great salon. Unfortunately the management has not been able to keep up those great standards. I initially asked for an experienced stylist who is very good with blonde. My hair was near white blond with dark roots and i wanted it evened out. The stylist and I discussed and agreed on a cool toned blond and that id like to keep the coolness while blending in the roots better. We decided to do both blonde and brunette highlights and lowlights. The results were okay but not entirely what i was looking for. Its possible she was rushing and didnt apply the correcr or even toner as she had a BBQ to get to and the previous client was running late. Somehow my hair was turned to a cheap looking yellow blonde. Plus the blonde in the roots was now a light white blond but the majority of the ends were a brassy yellow. I asked to have the stylist look at my concerns and suggest a solution. We agreed on using a toner to tone down the yellow as additional highlights would surely fry my hair at this point. Well first of all the toner turned my hair to a light brown, second i was charged an ADDITIONAL $200 on top of the $300 i already spent. So $500 in and im still not happy. I had to pay $500 to change my hair from a very light blond to a mousy brown with still some yellow blond highlights poking through. The only thing the manager Shay was able to suggest was coming back in for more blonde but paying full price because this would be an "additional service". So these crooks wanted to take $700 from me for a service that should have been done proper the first time. Unbelievable... I will definitely not be trusting these guys with my hair again.

Quinn Dumond

Shaye has been cutting my hair for a few years now and I always love it. Thanks so much!

Shawna Steinwand

Tara is the best stylist! I have been going to her for 5 years and will not let anyone else touch my hair again!

Cady Chandler

I highly recommend going to the rock. Everybody is so nice and the salon is so clean and bright. Carrie did my eyebrows and she was amazing with getting the shape I wanted. Oh and you get hand massages when you get your hair coloured too.

mary ellen Green

I had a great experience this morning with Stephanie. She could tell I was a little stressed, so she gave me a head and shoulder massage before starting my haircut. She was easy going and friendly and was happy to give me suggestions to update my look. The people at the front desk were lovely and gave me a complimentary bag of Aveda samples because I purchased some product. They got me in last minute (on a weekday morning) and offered me coffee. Great service and nice atmosphere.

Carrie Rito

I saw Veronica yesterday for a much needed cut and colour. Veronica was wonderful! She's very kind and definitely knows her stuff. I told her I wanted to go purple! Now I know I have a dark hair colour to begin and she understood that I didn't want to bleach my hair. She did her best! When I left the salon I felt it looked a little more on the red side which I didn't really want, but I was also leaving the salon at 9pm so when I got home I looked took a look in the bathroom at home that has white walls and bright white lights... still red even in the sun. BUT that's ok! I had red hair for many years and I still plan on coming back, my cut is fabulous and my hair feels so good. Thank you Veronica! ????

Alissa Moffitt

The staff was friendly, it's beautiful and clean... They truly went above and beyond!

Erika Nathalia

I saw Veronica for a cut, she was very personable and funny! Not to mention she did exactly what I asked for, best trim I’ve had done. Recommend!

Robyn Morales

Staff are fabulous and kind. Great sales

Jonathan Molnar

5 stars always. Classy, friendly, knowledgeable, incredible hair cuts everytime. Great people!!! Thank you for always providing excellent service. Best massages and pedicures in Alberta thats for sure.

Elwira Rosiak

I have long hair, it's thin, but I have a lot of it and a lot of hair dressers just don't know how to cut it. Tara is my gal! She knows how to layer it, add texture, even colour it without making my scalp itchy. Baby, she's worth it! After years of disappointment and tears I found my one and only! Thank you Tara for being so awesome!

Dawn Ius

I've always considered myself a laid back person when it comes to my hair, but since meeting my stylist Shaye, I'm extremely particular. The fact that she made me care about my hair warrants the stars enough but she's also professional, thoughtful, and super talented. The salon is always able to accommodate my last minute emergencies, and I always feel welcome. Highly recommended!

Mitch Fast

Great place treated like a king.

Dianna Tywin

This is a really nice salon!! I was very pleased with my hairstylist Karolina. She has good communication skills as well very friendly...hands down!! I will definitely be back. Thank you!

Carly Corrine

Went in to get my roots touched up and she ended up bleaching them way lighter then the rest of my hair. Had to then bleach my whole head to match and now my hair is very damaged. Disappointed i had to pay $200 for something i didnt ask for and she messed up on. Thought this place would be so great but i am still dealing with hair issues from it, worst decision i ever made going here.

Emily Chatwin

Cale did an immaculate job on my hair. He nailed the colour both times I’ve seen him and is super honest and tells me what will look natural with my just as immaculate complexion. One of the best beginner stylists I’ve seen in a long time, he will get you ready for hot girl summer like no other stylist would. I’d let this man do anything to my (yet again) immaculate head.

Amanda Sarrazin-Gould

I have been seeing Tara at The Rock Salon & Spa for over a decade, and have never been disappointed! She is a fantastic stylist, a fantastic colourist, and a fantastic person! I fully trust her and am always confident that I will feel great when I leave the salon. She is the BEST.

Emma Wolfe

Friendly, welcoming staff, relaxing atmosphere, lots of services available, professional and experienced.

Nate Otsuji

Got a haircut from one of the masters, and I couldnt have been happier with it. I'm certain they are just as amazing at cutting women's hair, I would highly reccomend

Margareth Bergamin

It was my first time, and my experience was amazing. They are very professional, the place is beautiful and super clean and the price is more than fair. Zoe took care of me today. She said she was an apprentice and after she finished to cut my hair, l am sure that she will have an amazing future in the area. The manager or owner (l didn't ask her name) was very diligent at her job as well. You guys are going to see me again and again. Thanks for my new look!!

Jodi Braun

Amazing experience! Caroline saved me from a bad hair cut from a different salon, and now my hair looks so good! Caroline was so professional, sweet and kind, thank you! I will definitely be returning.

MK

Got my husband a spa package from here for a surprise Christmas present! He ranted and raved about how amazing the massage was, the pedicure was very professional and they actually took off a large amount of dead skin off his feet and gave him tips going forward to keep up with his foot care being that he wears workbooks all day long. Very clean and friendly spa.

Faye Campbell

Amazing staff amazing salon atmosphere and a phenomenal hair cut by Carolyn

Jannette Hurshowy

Love, love coming here! They provide amazing customer service! From the head to hand massages, always a very relaxing experience! I have been seeing Tara for a few years and would not go anywhere else!! Every staff that works here make sure you feel completely at home! Thanks guys! Highly reccommend this place to anyone looking for a new place or to switch over!

Chelsea Hee

Fantastic Covid protocols; amazing stylists, great with my little guy.

Nancy V.

I received a gift certificate from my son and used it on April 16th. The experience was wonderful from start to finish, very relaxing. I was welcomed into the Salon and Marlene was professional and pleasant. I recommend this salon!

Lindsey Margo

Absolutely OVERPRICED for stylist's that aren't even up to par with their "title" which makes them so pricey in the first place ... not to mention worst wax I have ever gotten, Will not return

Catherine L

The estheticians are attentive and sensitive to whether you are in the mood to chat or be pampered. It's nice to be able to watch the downtown activity from the second floor for esthetic services. Staff is super helpful and knowledgable about products.

Brandi Sauter

I just very recently moved to St. Albert's downtown and instantly noticed the aesthetically pleasing building. My waxing appointment was anything but, I've been waxing for over 10 years and never experienced a full leg wax to be so painful. There were also some areas that were totally missed. I definitely did not get my monies worth and I'm sad to say won't be returning. I did love the atmosphere!!

GARBAGE, BURNT MY HAIR

Marlene was fantastic and I love my hair. Highly recommend!!

Bernice Gonzalez

Friendly staff. Bit pricey.

Brendan Watters

Excellent Staff

Christine M

I have been going to The Rock Salon & Spa for a couple of years now and Caroline is really one of the best hairdressers I have been to. She listens and I always walk away happy. I went from long brown hair to short blonde and the transition was excellent, really easy to manage and her cutting is so good. I always have a fun experience with all the girls and couldn't recommend this highly enough. Really well priced as well. Yay - Go The Rock Salon & Spa you ladies ROCK !

Norma Bokenfor

I love the my pakage I purchased them for my son, he loves them and refuses to wear any different type! He mentions all the time how comfortable they are

Rackel J

I love coming to The Rock, it’s hands down the best place for mani & pedis! You get the full meal deal, no corners cut, a free mini orly polish to take home! As long as I’m living in st.Albert I’ll always come to The Rock & tell all my friends and family to come to the best spa in St.Albert ????

Christina Hughes

I LOVE the atmosphere at this Salon/Spa. I came in looking for some Aveda product, and the ladies at the front desk were educated and friendly. I'll be back!

Tawne M

I love all aveda products, however I was in the other day restocking what I needed, and they had a cancellation for a pedicure! They asked if I needed/wanted one and of course I did. It was my first time getting a pedicure at The Rock, I had gotten my hair done a few times but never any spa services. It was the best pedicure I’ve ever received. You’ve gained another loyal customer for pedicures!! I can’t wait for my next one alteady

Thomas G

Got my hair cut by Caroline, & my chest/back done by an Esthetician.. both services where suburb. Caroline is so funny & bubbly. Will definitely be back in the future for more services!

Susan M

Coming to The Rock is always the best part of my day, every 8 weeks, I always love whoever I see, all the ladies are great. You ladies always do such a great job, and I love how happy, & outgoing and CHATTY everyone is. I always have great hair and great conversations. The Rock is my forever home where I go whenever I’m in need of any type of hair or spa services.

Ashlee Drevant

I’ve had multiple services from a couple of the girls here at the rock, and they have all been amazing. Great massages, pedicures and hair services! Shaye is very friendly and great at what she does!!

Alberta Bound

I've been coming here for years but something has been bugging me for a long time. Why don't they have a voice mail message or answering machine? That would be a very minimum level of service but they don't even provide that. I called on Friday to book an appointment and got no answer. I don't know if I should bother calling tomorrow or Monday because they couldn't be bothered to provide a message letting me know their hours over the holidays. Such a simple thing but they can't be bothered. I love my stylist but I would really love it if she worked at a different salon.

Carly Quinn

I love going to Tyra! Her bubbly personality makes every appointment with her like hanging out with a girlfriend & her haircuts are so so pretty!!

Steph H

Thank you ladies for making my hair look amazing for grad ❤️ Highly recommend anyone at The Rock Salon and spa !!!!

Scott Reeve

The past few hair cuts I’ve gotten here have been some of the best I’ve ever gotten. I have curly, thick hair and they seem to know how to deal with difficult hair, so happy I’ve found somewhere who seems to always be open, have great prices, and squeezes me in for my last minute bookings of a haircut. Thanks so much ladies!

Gillian Linard

They won even answer their phone or reply to an email, ridiculous but it's in a little town so to be expected.

Branden Y

Great place for a quick, good hair cut!

Lindsay Crocker

My daughter got her updo for grad done here, she looked absolutely stunning, and the hair really pulled it all together. Thank you so much Caroline & the rest of The Rock for making her day special!

Leslie Campbell

I absolutely adore The Rock! Caroline is incredibly talented and transformed my blonde a few years ago. My highlights are always incredibly natural looking even when we go a few shades brighter. I've referred several friends to her because people are always asking who does my color, and they're always so happy. Caroline cuts my hair – I usually schedule a cut with her every other time I get my color done. Be sure to book well in advance so you can get both done on the same day! I recently trusted Caroline with chopping off 7 inches (my hair was LONG) and have never been happier with a hair cut. Aside from how how talented the colorists/stylists are, the salon is also super chic, and the staff is so friendly and attentive – they're always offering coffee, tea, water, magazines, you name it. I always feel incredible when I leave the salon. Can't recommend enough, and can't wait to get back, Im so glad to see they’ve been able reopened after all this covid stuff

Valerie Patel

I just got back from my appointment for a wash, cut, and blow-dry. It was my first time there (they were lovely, even accommodating me when I was 20mins late to my appointment), Danielle was my stylist.I have to say, it was a very positive experience. I hadn't had a hair cut in over 7 months, so you can imagine the state it was in! Danielle was very attentive, and explained everything clearly and in detail. She managed to make what was very dull, dehydrated looking hair, look very healthy and shiny, whilst still maintaining a length I felt comfortable with. The salon staff are very professional but friendly, offering drinks, and always making sure everything was alright. Although I'm coming in from out of town, the next time I'm in St.Albert, I would definitely stop by again. If you're in the area, and looking to have your hair done, I would definitely recommend The Rock, and Danielle, in particular.

Carl J

This place has a lot of stuff and great gift ideas. Lots of things to pick from for both males and females. I got my wife a foot paddle and some nail polish, and a really nice pair of boxers for myself!

Ashley

I was given a gift card this past Christmas to The Rock. I was lucky to meet Caroline- and let me tell you- she is A-MA-ZING! I haven’t had my hair done for over a year. Fairly new mom- my hair hasn’t been in my priority list for a long time. Today was the day- and I am SO THANKFUL to receive the gift card and finally use it! The before and after pictures are incredible. I didn’t realize how neglected and damaged my hair was. It took a while- but she put everything she could into it and I feel like an entirely new person! Thank you Caroline!

Brittney Szutarski

Don't do it! I called and asked for an experienced stylist to do blonde foils and a color correction. I got someone (assumingly quite new) who gave me chunky, early 2000s style highlights. The manager noticed and kindly attempted to fix this by adding in babylights and a free trim. However, my ends are still an awful yellow and the roots are still not blended properly. I now have a noticeable color difference halfway down my head and after spending 7 HOURS in the salon, still walked out extremely upset. AND paid $250 just to get this awful root-touch up job that I need to get redone elsewhere.

Molly H

First time in The Rock, all I have to say is what a very nice atmosphere! You walk in and all the natural sun light is just beaming in, the ladies are fantastic and my stylist was amazing ( sorry I can’t remeber her name ) my entire experience was great start to finish. I will definately be back!! So happy I found a salon close to home!! ????

Karla Whicken

One of the best salons I have been to in a long time. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. I got my hair done by Caroline for the first time and I was amazed at how well she nailed the look I was going for! I'm very happy and definitely going back. :) couldn’t of asked to have been paired for someone more perfect for my style

Chris L

Got the inner balance package with the 60 minute massasge for my wife at Christmas, she finally used it and can’t stop talking about how great everything was! Thanks to The Rock for the experience, I know she’ll be back for sure!!

Nikki Zwaga

I really liked my experience with Caroline. She listened to exactly what I wanted done to my hair and the results made my hair look healthy and easy to work with. I also love how they offered complimentary head massages to get relaxed for the hair session (and it actually took my headache away!). The Aveda products are made with such amazing ingredients and smell so earthly I love it all. Thanks Caroline!

Hanna P

This is by far my favourite place for nails & toes in St. Albert! I have no complaints and all who do my nails are great and careful and professional. I have gel polish nails and their pedicures are great too. Thumbs up!

Lauren Smith

The Rock provided me with a luxury experience, complimentary drinks, magazines and a scalp massage! I absolutely loved the hair they were able to produce for me, exactly what I came in asking for and giving my hair the best care that it needed. An extraordinary team of professionals are there to give you the best advice and know exactly what your hair needs. Could not of asked for a better experience.

Tami Scupr

The first thing I thought when I walked in was “ wow! This is a huge open salon “ the environment & staff are amazing. Very friendly, knowledgeable staff.

sam L

I had my first visit to this hair salon and I really enjoyed my experience here. staff are friendly, you constantly see them wiping things down, making you feel very safe. my hair turned out exactly how I wanted I will definitely be back!

Bill Andres

My wife and I came here for a couples massage, facial, manicure & pedicure. All our services from start to finish where amazing. The ladies did such a great job, pressure of the massage, to the pressure of our pedicure massage. Our facial was very relaxing ! We will definitely be back!

Jessica King

I too have been going to the Rock for years. The last 3-4 times that I went was terrible. In my chart for waxing it says no rubbing alcohol. The waxist came out and before I had time to say no rubbing alcohol it was on my face. It was the most painful facial waxing I have ever received. I started to have a reaction and my face was very red and then scabbed over. That same time the hairstylist didn't even cut my hair even. I had a friend trim the extra two inches that wasn't cut in the back. Then the last time I went I wanted some high lights and my hair was white and the hair cut was terrible. I have never once had them say oh seeings your face looks very terrible (and hurt for weeks after) after that waxing we will knock that price off. They sure have changed, and I need my hair cut and I don't know if I want to go back!!!!

Kristen R

I have been a loyal client of the Rock for almost a decade. I refuse to go anywhere else. Their prices are comparable and Aveda makes it 100% worth it. It isn't as harsh as other colour lines. Especially when I've been blonde in the past. Love you girls!

Shaheda Mahmood

Clean and good service ????

Vicki L

Katie Nichols

First class service. Great suggestions for a new style and after care. Shaye is amazing. Not only with hair but with customer service. Thank you Shaye for the amazing balayage!

Sharon Malin

1st time there and will definitely go back. If you're searching for the best highlights- trust me, they know what they are doing. Lidia did an amazing job! Best my hair has looked in soooo long. I keep getting compliments.

Brandi G

100% would recommend. I had a hair emergency which reduced me to tears and left me unable to leave my house. Called the Salon and Caroline squeezed me into the schedule. Not only did she fix my hair'tastrophe but she also provided emotional support and comic relief. In an hour, my hair went from severely knotted and uneven to beautiful. I will definitely be back! Caroline is simply amazing!!

Bria O

Smells way better than so many salons in the city, the actually clean their equipment properly. Super friendly, always try to fit me in when I call for a right away appointment.

Susan Brown

Always good prepare to pay

Addison Brown

First time customer, best hair salon experience I've ever had! Caroline is extremely friendly, easy to talk to, and really goes beyond for her clients. Thank you so much, I'll definitely be back. :)

Rita Lesko

If I could give 6 stars I would! Gorgeous salon with professional and friendly staff. Driving from out of town is always worth the trip, only place I will let them colour and cut my hair. If you need a pick me up I highly recommend them

Chloe Gladue

This salon is an absolute TREASURE! For a few years I've been struggling to find someone who could help me achieve the hair color I want. I'm naturally blonde, but for some reason, within a few weeks after a color it turns brassy. I've used all of the recommended products, but it still never worked. All of that changed when I came to The Rock I expect to spend 3-4 hours here during a visit, but they never rush or make me feel like they needs to tend to multiple clients at once. The stylists also aren’t pushy with products and offers you an assortment of options at different price levels. It's also important to note that the atmosphere of this salon is incredible, and it's always nice when a hair salon appreciates you and spoils you a bit. Coffee, tea, water, magazines, complimentary hand massages etc. They really nail the customer experience here. Highly recommend this salon to everyone!

Jenn H

My whole family goes here including friends. Love my hair colour by Caroline and the cut she gave me ❤️ First person to actually help my hair grow and not just hack it, I have a lot of hair so people tend to hack it or barley clean it up at all.

Janice R

Easily the best cut I’ve ever gotten, it’s true you get what you pay for! I’ll be back :)

Taylor Gwin

Just went here for the first time and had a WONDERFUL experience! From calling to make the appointment to walking out the door, I could not be more pleased. Staff is friendly and helpful. Shaye was fantastic and I would highly recommend her to any and all of my friends. She was kind, attentive and very talented. I will most definitely will be going back!

Jody Makie

The Rock has easily the best staff for whatever your needing done, from highlights/colour, & cuts to pedicures, manicures & facials

Wanda Fraser

Caroline is the most outstanding colorist/hair dresser I've ever known. Though she's known for her expertise with blondes, I want the red heads out there to know that she's an expert with our color too. I am a natural red head and it's been frustrating through the years to get the right color that doesn't fade out since red oxidizes so quickly. Caroline uses a two step process that locks the color in and since I've been seeing her, I have never gotten so many compliments on my hair. She's a wonderful woman filled with wisdom, humor and generosity who makes every client in the salon feel like they are a guest in her home, a real plus in the City. - I am one of many regulars who won't go anywhere else.

Bri A

After numerous poor cuts at a different salon, I walked into The Rock Salon & Spa desperate for a correction. Shaye did not disappoint at all. She listened to what I described and looked at a few photos and then gave me the haircut that I had been looking for over the past year. I have since returned for another cut, and I have taken my toddler in for a cut as well. Shaye is very talented and can cut women's, men's and children's hair with skill. In addition to getting a great cut/color, the prices are excellent too!

Claire L

I came with a bridal party to get our hair donea few months ago, and absolutely loved my time at The Rock. From the minute we got there we were treated like royalty. We were allowed to check up on each other, and really got to enjoy the morning together, even though we were all with different stylists. I had Lidia doing my hair, and she worked all kinds of MAGIC. She took what was pictured in my mind, and made it real. Would come back in a heartbeat!

Emily H

Very nice place to get a manicure & pedicure. The ladies are wonderful and do such an amazing job. Highly recommend !!

Denise M

I love my hair! Thanks for another great colour Marlene!

Google User

I’d like to give a huge shout out and thank you to the ladies at The Rock who where nothing but attentive to my services. Making me feel so welcome on my first visit, my services where 10/10 throughout my entire time. I will most definitely be back

Erin Stark

I've been here 3 times now for cut, color + style with Danielle and I have always left the salon amazed with my results! Also the music is awesome and the staff are super friendly. Definitely recommend coming here :)

Kennedy S

Best Salon and Stylist in St.Albert! Caroline and the rest of the team are hands sounds the most professional and experienced you will get. I felt welcome and excited to get my hair done as soon as i walked in. She worked her magic and i have never gotten so many compliments on my hair. Also, her energy makes the whole experience that much better. Highly recommend The Rock Salon &Spa!

Sasha King

I came here after being heavily disappointed with my hair cut and color. Stupendous service provided by Lidia. These girls know their business too well. It didn’t take her more than 2 minutes to figure out a solution for my destroyed hair. They’ve earned another loyal customer. The service is just beyond wonderful. The lady doesn’t just give a normal head wash, she also throws in a relaxing massage. Absolutely worth every penny spent!

Gabriela Derendal

I fully recommend Caroline !! She knows what she is doing, perfect much colour and cut, full precision and passion. I am so happy to choose her !!

Chole D

Very clean & professional environment. Shelves always stocked full of products. I’ve tried all the hair salons in St.Albert and am happiest with The Rock. Never once have I left unhappy with my haircut, which is a common occurance in other local “salons” Highly recommended.

K Rose

I chose the Rock because I thought it was one of the top salons in St. Albert based on longevity in the business. However, what I received is easily the worst haircut I've ever had. When making the appointment, I was told I was being paired up with one of the lower pricing tier stylists, but who was very experienced so I felt good about my appointment. What actually happened is that they had someone who had graduated from beauty school literally weeks before, cut my hair unsupervised. The length is way shorter than what I asked for and there are choppy layers which are 4+ inches shorter than the baseline of the haircut which do not belong anywhere so they just stick out haphazardly like a shelf. The cut I asked for should not have any layers in it, just as a note. After TWO RECUTS (one side 1” shorter than the other, then one side had a chunky shelf layer that did not exist on the other) I am left with a bad hair day every single day. I lost 5+ inches of overall length and I am left blow drying and curling or straitening it every morning to hide the layers (not what I was thinking when I asked for an easy to style cut which complemented my natural curls/waves) and it still looks terrible. The woman who Re-cut my hair was nice enough and did what she could to fix it but it was a futile effort as the damage was already done by the original stylist. I don’t care much for writing reviews but I want to scream/cry every time I go to style my hair so I am trying to save someone, anyone, from a terrible cut after thinking they were doing themselves a favour by going to a boutique salon for a haircut. Steer clear, you can get a better haircut at the mall.

Nick Reid

Trya was professional and amazing!!

Lori F

Absolutely love this place!! Best place to get your hair done

Henry L

Quickest most painless back wax I’ve gotten, briana is the fastest waxer I’ve seen, didn’t miss a hair!

Carolyn

8 years ago after my son's insistent persuasion, I visited The Rock & have never regretted it! I am always pleasantly welcomed upon arrival and repeatedly receive amazingly expert care and attention to my hair and skin, I would never consider going anywhere else. The shop only uses and markets Aveda products which enhance my beauty treatments; I am repeatedly compliments on my hair so they must be working, indeed! The Rock's prices are very reasonable and let's remember, you truthfully get what you pay for. I always leave The Rock with a sense of being cared for and about! Now that is worth it's weight in gold for certain :). Many thanks to Marlene, Chantelle and staff. Carolyn

I absolutely love the staff at this salon. My services are always over and beyond. Staff are helpful, knowledgeable & so kind and attentive. I highly recommend coming to this hair salon if you enjoy quality services.

Paisley M

Huge thank you to the front end staff who helped me find my new favourite summer lip stick!! Their prices are comparable if not better than Mac.

Victoria W

Love this salon and the atmosphere. Will definitely be back!!

Dayna Mitchell

I have been going to Stephanie for years now, and she is by far the best stylist and colourist I have ever had. Even moving to Calgary and trying others no one could colour and cut my thick wavy hair as good. It used to be rare to leave a stylist and not want to redo it yourself until I met Steph. She is great at balayage, foils and keeps current on all new trends. Cannot sure enough about her!

Robyn R

I am really happy with my haircut from Caroline! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a new hair stylist!

Gracie Cox

This would be my first visit to The Rock. Although my first attraction was that the salon uses Aveda colour which is around 97% naturally derived and the least damaging for my blonde hair. I soon realized my stylist Shaye was well rehearsed & a true artist while performing my balayage! There were absolutely no harsh lines & the colours were softly diffused together! Now I can understand why the technique is even more important! Will for sure be back to see Shaye for my next balayage !

Katherine Singh

Thank you for the great haircut! I will definitely be back, for another amazing experience.

Deanna Blaskievich

Horrible experience and obscenely expensive! I asked for blonde highlights and low lights and came out with purple and pink blobs in my hair. They couldn't fix it after 3 attempts. They washed and blow dried my hair 4 times ! And didn't even offer and deep conditioning treatment or scalp massage. I got not even half my head done and charged me $235.00. !! I asked for strawberry blonde low lights and came out with pink and purple hair. Didn't even get an apology from staff . I was on crutches and staff wouldn't even help me with the door. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE DONT GO HERE!!

Lena Angell

This salon is the BEST salon I have ever been to. Shaye is absolutly awesome! I have very dark hair and have been to many salons for blond almost platnum highlights and always left orange, gold, and brassy. I was told countless times that I could not pull this light a color blond and that I was to dark. After just one visit Shaye pulled the exact color I wanted, which is unbelievable since I had been trying to go light for over a year!! My haircut was perfect and just what I had asked for. I get so many compliments on my hair now and even though I live far I will not go anywhere else . Top salon with good prices, Thanks to a great colorist and kind staff .

I stumbled across The Rock Salon & Spa quite by happenstance. I was on the receiving end of a botched cut and colour at another salon and needed it to be fixed. I googled salons that were close and after reading the reviews and seeing their previous work, I decided it was a superior, reputable salon that I could trust to fix the mess of another. I called and they suggested I come right away and have a stylist look at it. I was still feeling a bit traumatized and embarrassed but I was greeted with a friendly smile that put me at ease. It was early evening and the place was a hive of activity and all the staff, stylists, customers were smiling and happy. I was then introduced to my miracle worker, Lidia who was sympathetic, understanding and genuinely friendly. Thankfully she was able to book me in for the next morning after we had decided our plan of action and I was able to leave knowing I was in good hands. As for my appointment day, everything from the smiling, friendly nature of every single person in the salon to the cup of tea, I have never experienced in a hair salon before. I couldn’t be happier or more grateful for the service I received. Thank you to Carrie and the Owner (my apologies I don’t remember your name) for the moral support during the process and most of all, Lidia for my hair that you managed to transform into something I love!

The Rock Salon really rocks for awesome natural Aveda products, great hair and makeup help! Marlene, Shaye, Stephanie & Carrie deliver excellent personal service. ???? Don't forget to sign up for the Aveda rewards program for points & free stuff! Great Spa! Love The Rock!

Sandy Krebs

Was desperate for a change - I've always had great blonde hair, but lately my last few colors have been a bit dark - so I searched online, read all the amazing reviews and booked an appointment with Danielle. BEST DECISION EVER! She is an absolute expert at what she does - guided me along the whole process and explained that I had just too many low lights. Well, she fixed that right up! My hair couldn't look better - highly recommend this salon!!

Roxy R

The Rock takes client experience seriously. From the minute you walk in the door you’re treated with exceptional professionalism and all the stylists are friendly and welcoming. Danielle is my stylist and she is an absolute PRO with colour. She also rocks at cutting my naturally curly hair so that it looks great air-dried or styled. Can’t say enough good things!

Kenn D

I love this Aveda salon they always have any product I need & then some!! Always such great recommendations.

Breanne Middlton

Lidia was amazing and super professional and everyone in the salon was friendly and helpful. Went in for a vintage look for an event tonight and walked out like I stepped into the 40s! Thanks so much! You guys rock! Definitely will recommend you to everyone I know!

Noreen M

Amazing Experience! After reading reviews, I decided to see if Lidia could cut my hair. I came in with hardly any idea of what I wanted and she gave me some good ideas of what would look good. After chopping off 12 inches of hair and a colour, I couldn't me more happy! I am very apprehensive of hair cuts to start with, let alone a drastic change like this. She set my mind at ease from the moment I sat down! I have a trendy, easy to maintain, beautiful haircut! (I didn't go completely short, to shoulder length) but wow! I couldn't be happier! Thank you! ????????

Kira P

Lidia is an amazing hair stylist. She is very passionate of what she does which makes all her clients including myself happy. She makes sure she knows exactly what you want and throws some ideas of what she will do to achieve your hair goal. Overall this salon is definitely a go to.. staff are nice and they help each other.. highly highly recommended place. I can't wait to get my hair done here again.

Bella Kropp

Great place, love the atmosphere

Phyllis Ledingham

Great staff and a friendly and relaxing Salon and Spa.

Bradi Martin

I love The Rock Salon! Caroline has been my stylist for about 2 years now. She knows what I like and how to do it but also encourages a good amount of play and experimentation. I truly trust her with my hair and allow her to take the reins. I'm always confident I will leave with a style which suits me and I feel awesome in! All the stylists at The Rock are very welcoming and professional. The atmosphere is relaxing and I am always offered a beverage.

Melanie Desroches

I have been a customer of the Rock for over two decades. In that time I have had my hair service done by multiple stylists and I never leave disappointed! Love the Aveda products ❤️

Nathan Boyle

Just wanted to say thank you again to all the staff at the Rock Salon for another wonderful experience I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a quality professional experience in a relaxed environment.

Kyla V

First time visit a few weeks ago and loved every minute. Marie looked after me so well and knew exactly how to achieve what I wanted. I walked out feeling fabulous! Will definitely be back and recommending this place to anyone and Everyone

Susan F

Great atmosphere. Clean and comfortable. They play music but at a good level, not so loud you can't think but just loud enough you can understand the lyrics while still being able to tune it out. Staff are friendly and good at their job. I forgot to ask my manicurist her name but she was great and did a lovely job. I had a shellac manicure done. Would definitely recommend this place but call in advance to make an appointment!

Becca S

Very good staff and lovely, clean atmostphere. Shaye lightened my hair from a very dark brown and it turned out absolutely amazing. Not only that but other customers with other members end results were gorgeous. Quality colour and products. I highly recommend this place. Very fair pricing as well.

Keegan

Been a satisfied customer of Shaye's for well over a year now, and it's always a pleasure to visit and be treated so well by everyone from start to finish. I wish my hair would grow faster so I could get it cut more often! ????

jody dyrland

Been going to the Rock for 12 years. It has always been a great experience. The owners and staff are always pleasant.

Miranda H

It was my first time in the salon last week, I was very impressed with how clean and spread out everything was. My stylist was Kristina, she was very warm, kind, and professional. I like all the measures they are taking. They had one girl constantly cleaning absolutely everything and anything any stylist or customer was touching. I felt very safe and confident that they are on top of things. I will definitely be back. Thanks again Kristina for the great job.

Tasmin Welling

A friend told me about The Rock Salon. I'm skeptical about trying new places when it comes to hair. I booked my hair appt as it was long over due. The staff at the front desk are extremely friendly and offer drinks. I ended up with Lidia. And I'm glad I did. She did an amazing job on my colour and got it exactly how I wanted it as well for the cut. I would definitely recommend The Rock Salon and Lidia to friends and family. Thank you very much guys.

Terri B

I had a pedicure done for the first time here from Erika. She was amazing! I will be back for my summer feet when the time comes. I highly recommend this salon.

Susan Phillips

I LOVE the open concept salon. It’s always so bright; and has a wonderful vibe to it. The ladies who work there always seem so happy and eager to help. So happy to have an aveda salon right here in our home of St.Albert. Highly recommend this salon:)

フレ ひ

Best haircut I've gotten in my life. Shaye, Marlene, Chantel and the rest of the team are phenomenal. I refuse to go anywhere but the best.. The Rock!

Maggie H

I absolutely LOVE my hair!! I highly recommend going to see Caroline. She was great and was able to fix my hair as I tried to colour it myself using products from Sally’s and it turned orange (NEVER AGAIN). I will leave my hair to the professionals, lol. She did a dark root, into a nice melt and toned my ends out. It is absolutely beautiful and I have had so many compliments! The salon was a great atmosphere and I will definitely be returning to see her!

Soph Armstrong

Best place to get your eye brows waxed and tinted !

Lindsey Pino

The only place I go for an AMAZING Pedicure! As for Kaytlin for aesthetic treatments! She's the best! Thanks again for an amazing job :D

Deb The boys

So I have been hearing mixed reviews about this establishment for quite some time, so I decided to just book an appointment with a hairstylist . My girl Was awesome, But you can tell she was miserable working there. Her boss (older lady) kept pulling her aside and what seemed like directing negative energy on her. Made a complaint about the outdoor shoes to Me , while the people getting their hair done could wear their shoes.I can most definitely tell that the girls who work their are miserable !!! Went to pay, overpriced , I did not mind my haircut , but for the price....Not worth it. Hope this helps.

Penny H

I absolutely love coming to The Rock, all the girls are very chatty and good at what they do! Never fail to have great hair and great conversations :)

Alexandra Rutherford

Great pedicure but they charged me 20$(!!!!) to remove my old shellac. I've never been charged anywhere for that before! Insane! Not worth 100$ for a plain pedicure (couldn't even offer shellac!). Never going back.

Lulie Hildbury

Honestly so happy I have found a place that always, consistently does amazing work. I love my hair everytime I leave, I love the ladies at The Rock!!

Jill Edgelow

I wanted to write a good review, it seems people want to write more when they have had a bad experience. I've been going to the rock for many years, and although they are more money, I'm always happy. Love the hand massages and the products they use on my hair!

Amber M

The salon is absolutely beautiful and I couldn’t love my hair more. Thank you for the beautiful colour and cut!! Merry Christmas

Alexandra Pedersen

Shaye did my balayage a couple weeks ago and I love the result. It’s growing out great, and the Aveda colour is still bright-plus my hair feels great!

Lily Dennis

I am a very picky person when it comes to service. I want it all. Fair price, good manners, nice environment and people who know what they're doing. I got all of that here and have never been happier. Caroline was pleasant, so professional and did exactly what I wanted. It was so great! ????????

Monique L

Truly the best salon in St.Albert... thank you for giving me such great hair. I will definitely be back

Kass H

I never fail to walk out of The Rock with soft nicely painted toes. The spa girls know how to give the best foot/leg massage and my shellac polish lasts me until my next pedicure (every 8 weeks I go in) definitely worth the 105$ compared to when I use to get the balancing pedicure for 75 with regular polish. Either way regardless of what polish you choose, the services are always 10/10. Would never go anywhere else!

Shoshana Assaraf

Very nice salon. I had Lidia, 1st time, she styled my hair exactly the way I asked, very impressed by this. Very professional. All Aveda products, haven't used them in awhile because I love my Kerastase but I would not be opposed to using these products in the future. Very good experience and will definitely go back.

Bradly Greger

It was my first time stepping foot in this salon last week & all I can say is I’ve never felt so welcomed into any salon. The front end ladies where kind, offering any beverages, and my stylist was amazing! She gave me a scalp massage ( best thing ever ) then continued to wash, cut & style my hair. I’m not one to leave reviews and rant and brag but it was the best cut I’ve ever gotten. I think I’ve found my forever stylist, I will recommend The Rock team every time!

Kathy D

Came in for the first time to see Caroline, after reading multiple reviews I finally came in! Was I not disappointed, best desicion I’ve made all week!! She turned my mop of a hair cut into a short, but yet stilish hair cut!

Rachael Morrissey

I have been seeing Tyra for my hair for a few years now and she's super amazing. She has done everything I've wanted perfectly and given me some great tips for how to make the colour last longer. She is also amazing to chat with especially since my hair usually takes 2 or more hours to do and she is just the sweetest person! I would highly recommend booking an appointment with her!

Erin Barber

Highly Recommend this place. Staff are professional, its clean comfortable and accomadationg.

Sydney Rosk

For all the BLONDE ladies. It is so hard to find someone who knows how to color blonde hair where you leave the salon feeling 100% satisfied with the result. Caroline at The Rock has truly mastered this craft. After having my hair highlighted by her the first time I moved to the city I cant imagine getting it colored by anyone else. She pays attention to detail and really listens to what I want while always maintaining the integrity of my hair. I cant say enough good things! I always leave looking and feeling like a million bucks!

Katherine

Twice in a row I had booked hair appointments and both times they were recorded incorrectly by the Rock. I went for my appointment and my stylist was booked with other clients as well and I was sent away. I was not offered any solutions that would make this inconvenience easier to deal with. Not impressed at all!

Marie Rahn

Chantelle (sorry if misspelled) cut my hair and she listened to everything I said. Trying to grow out my hair and she cut just enough that it looked way healthier but didn't take more than what was needed. The blow out after was awesome. She did a complimentary head massage before the cut and it was amazing. I love love all the Aveda products. She was knowledgable without pushing me to buy anything I didn't want to. I notice a lot of comments about price but honestly anywhere you go a haircut is around the 50 mark. So if I pay an extra 10-20 dollars to have a relaxing experience with great products and the stylist listens to me it's totally worth it. Also I had a delicious complimentary tea while I waited. It was a great hour to myself and I came out relaxed and feeling so great. The receptionist is always professional and very polite and welcoming.

Taggart Mullenix

Always good coming to the rock and getting my hair done by tyra! She rocks.

S Bertsch

I popped in to get my caterpillars turned into 'eyebrows'. When I showed up for my appointment they enticed me with a have off pedicure and it didn't take me long to say 'treat yo self'. The salon was super clean, the staff were friendly and I had a nice spa morning! Thanks again!

Carla Lund

Great Salon!! Been here for 15+ Years

Sam P

Very busy on Friday so book an appointment before hand. Chantel is the best!

Kyle Ropp

Brought my wife here for a pedicure, it was my first time and let me tell you the spa girls where amazing!! Will definitely be bringing her back for many more, thank you so much again!

Sarah Wellington

I cannot say enough good things about this salon. My previous hairdresser wrecked my hair (there was blue, orange, black, blonde and major breakage in my hair) and Lidia did such an excellent job of making it look good. This salon and Lidia by passed any of my expectations (especially after getting it done by someone not so professional). I left feeling great and looking like myself. Anyone in need of a salon should definitely give The Rock salon a chance. I found my new stylist.

Amber Hamilton

Karoline is the absolute best! I’ve always loved getting my hair done with her. Not only does she keep up with all the latest fashion trends and education she’s also an amazing person and we have such a great laugh every time I get my hair done with her. She has such a passion for hair like no other and you can tell she loves what she does! I would highly recommend Karoline to anyone wanting to get their hair done, cut, colour, styled you name it! Girl can do it all!! And we have so much fun while she does!

Leah Himbeault

Staff is always very friendly and the service is over the top. Shaye is a fancy Tasting Stylist!

Gayle Hogg

100 feet to heaven… Peaceful, modern, trendy salon with premium products. I never looked so good. Lidia really knows the art and science of hair styling - at 52 I have tried many places, in many cities. Eternally grateful

Love Within Pregnancy Massage & Womans Wellness In

I have been seeing Stephanie for years at The Rock! She is the best. Whether it is a haircut or color service; she knows what to do. Thank you for being so talented and always making me feel so great. Stephanie knows hair!

Ally M

I always look forward to stopping in, weather it’s restocking my products, of in need of a color or cut. I think I’ve met every person that works here. Everyone is super friendly, and I’m always greeted by friendly smiling faces. I really appreciate the high quality of customer service. Not to mention living in St.Albert it’s much more convenient than going all the way to west Ed.

Becka M

What a beautiful salon, stuff and other clients in The Rock are SO friendly. Everyone always seems so happy & how could they not?! I LOVE my new style thanks to Lidia, I have found my forever stylist!! Highly recommend over any other salon in St.Albert

Bryanna Harvey

i was in on Saturday to get my hair and eye brown done, the hair cut was amazing, but the lady that did my eyes sucked. she missed huge sections when i went home i had to clean it up and she didnt even shape them well. i will never go back for my eye brows

Ken H

Only place I’ll go to get my eyebrows waxed, Amanda is the best!

Miki Longly

The front end staff are very helpful and patient when helping you find a new product; I had never tried aveda before, and went in looking for a different skin care line. Well it’s been 3 weeks, and I LOVE MY TULASARA SET!!! Thank you so much Carrie, for introducing me to my new favourite skin care products!

Julia Barrie

The Rock is by far my favorite salon that I have tried since moving to the city. I've been a client of Lidias for over a year now and I absolutely adore her. She does a wonderful job with color and cut and is very creative. I first met her after receiving a haircut that I was not thrilled about. She was able to clean it up and make it look presentable. I have trusted her since! She's very good at her profession and I wouldn't want to go to anyone else. I highly recommend Lidia & The Rock for people who are looking for a new hair stylist and salon. I have already sent a handful of people to Lidia and they couldn't agree more with me that she is the person to go to. Thank you to The Rock and especially Lidia!!!!

Blair Cleave

I came into The Rock to get some product. The receptionist was very knowledgeable about the line of products they carry. Everybody was super nice and the place was clean and very modern and over the top. I highly recommend this salon and will be getting services done here.

Nicole M

Great place

Erin Verhulst

Been going to The Rock for two years now and I've never once been disappointed. Lidia has done an amazing job with my hair every single time and helped guide me in making small and drastic changes!! Incredibly happy with my recent cut, having gone from Rapunzel to a more modern, professional look. As long as I live in St.Albert, The Rock and Lidia will always have my business! Oh and their overall customer service is amazing... they offer coffee and delicious beverages :)

Carmen Zadis

Checked out The Rock for the first time today. Great time! Awesome staff! Can't wait to return, We had some good laughs. The hospitality was incredible. Easy 5 stars.
