Reviews of Hair Plus (Hairdressing)

D R D

I normally cut my own hair mainly because I couldn't find a decent barber. And I've become pretty good at cutting my own hair and picky on how I want my hair to look. But for big events such as weddings, I trust Sonia and Tina. I started going here about 3 years ago from a recommendation and it's nice to get a professional cut. Thanks for always making me look great!

Emily Cyr

Great haircut, reasonable price, friendly staff

Sonia has been cutting my hair for the past 4.5 years and has been extremely consistent and even provides her own input on what sort of style I should have for my type of face. I’ve been going to my previous stylist for 10+ years and had trouble switching until I went to Hair Plus and cannot imagine going anywhere else! It’s amazing to see her and her daughter Tina (beautinahairstudio on Instagram) collaborate and work as an awesome duo! For those who are looking for coloring specialists, Tina is the one to talk to!

My go to place whenever i need a hair cut. For a change came for hair color, cut and perm. And turns out i love it! They work really fast, since the place is small. They keep reorganizing the customer who wants treatment to be most efficient and effective.

Alexander Poon

Both Sonia and Tina do a great job with my hair, been going there for a while now. Highly recommend

Kay is great hairstylist especially for Asian hair. I still drive here all the way form Milton

I came in for a haircut with Tina a couple of days ago. It was my first time at hair plus and I will definitely be returning. She’s professional and knowledgeable in giving me tips on maintaining my colour and keeping it healthy. She took her time with cutting my hair and making sure that I was satisfied with how it’s looking. Very friendly and laid back vibe. She even sent a message afterwards just to say thank you for coming in. That was very sweet and unexpected. Can’t wait to go back for colour next time!

I have gone to Tina for separate appointments. The first one being a colour (balayage) appointment. I had come across her work on social media and knew I wanted to book an appointment with her right away. She is such a warm and friendly person, and also very talented in what she does! She is very thorough during the consultation in what you are looking to achieve in your hair goals. It has been 4 months since I had my balayage done with her and I am still super happy with my hair! I have been following her product recommendations and also message her with any questions I have so that I can continue to prolong the colour without the colour fading or going brassy/orange. The second appointment I had with Tina was for a cut. Again, Tina was thorough in her consult on what I wanted in my cut. This included a wash with the Fanola No Orange shampoo, cut, and style. I get very nervous with haircuts because I have had pretty bad ones in the past but Tina made me feel at ease and made sure I was happy with her work before leaving. Tina is absolutely my go-to hair person now, and not only is she my favourite hair dresser, but an amazing friend as well!

Desiree Chester

Had my hair cut and colored by Tina. Amazing experience! She's the kind of professional who collaborates with her clients. She really listens to the vision and works to deliver with an eye for detail and genuine passion. I have A LOT of hair, and its asian, so straight, slightly course and very stubborn. Tina takes time and care to coax it into a work of art! Absolutely love her! Highly recommended!

Lida Chang

I just got my hair cut and colour done by Tina and I’m extremely happy with it. She was great at listening and really tried to achieve the best results. She did a great job with balayage and I’d highly recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a great colourist. Tina provided an excellent service and I would go back to see her again.

Sarah Zhang

Kay did an amazing job and I would definitely recommend going to her for women's haircut! If you have Asian hair and have struggled to find a stylist, have no fear--you've found the right place. She was very attentive to what I wanted and layered my hair exactly how I imagined it. The salon itself was clean and beautifully decorated. All-in-all, the experience was worth every penny and then some!

Daisy Shi

Love getting my hair done here!! They are super friendly and professional, and I always walk out satisfied!!!! I’m pretty picky with my hair and have tried many other salons - always end up coming back!!

이충재

(Translated) Koreans seem to be very satisfied if they cut their hair here... good haha (Original) 한국인분들은 여기에서 머리자르시면 너무 만족하실듯...좋아요 ㅎ

Rebecca Kim

Initially had my hair cut and coloured by Tina and went back for toning recently. Tina is super sweet and has always taken the time to explain what would be involved in achieving the colour I want and how to maintain it, while stylists at other salons I’ve been to haven’t been realistic about what they’re able to achieve in 1-2 sessions. Highly recommended!

Sonia is the absolute best barber. Im a guy and she does an amazing job on my hair. Funny thing is my mom recommended her to me, I trusted it and never changed barbers since.

Sharnelle Kan

Tina is amazing! I'm so happy with how my hair turned out. She really takes time to explain the whole process and I would highly recommend her.

Derek Yoshida

Quick and efficient, did an excellent job. Had a next day appointment available which was great. Be aware its cash only for payment.

James Gritti-Cromwell

Great atmosphere, very clean. Loved the attention to detail with the environment and with the haircut. Very friendly service. Would recommend

Shane Lee

Korean hair studio. They take the time to make sure your hair is awesome before you leave. I got the Japanese Strait perm. It did not disappoint.

김윤지

Kay is very professional! Highly recommend this place

Ella la Bella

First time I go there. Good welcome and I loved my haircut. You feel that the lady that was cutting my hair knows what she is doing, does it with so much ease. 2 things I didn't like... 1- they didn't wash the hair, just spray water. I don't understand this concept here in Canada!!! Maybe cause I said that I only wanted a haircut. They still dried my hair and did a small blow dry which was nice 2- 2 ladies all the time talking with their own language which was not that nice. I was worried that she was not concentrating on my hair because they kept talking but it ended up well. Good prices and nice haircut.

Joe

Nice service.

Jeff Zhang

Came here for a wash, cut, and perm. The ladies at Hair Plus were really polite and professional. I showed my stylist a photo of what I wanted and right away she understood. The cut was quick as the stylist really knew what she was doing. Result turned out great. I called to book a same-day appointment. I was happy they could accommodate me around closing too. Theres limited parking out front so street parking on Yonge or parking at the Metro supermarket would be a possible alternative!

L Lam

My hair is really thick, dry and overall difficult to work with so I often find it really hard to find a good hairstylist that can cut my hair to the sample photos I show. Tina did an amazing job; my haircut was exactly how I showed her and wanted it to look. She was really gentle and explained to me each step of what she was doing which I appreciated. I love my new hairstyle so much I've already pre-booked reoccurring appointments for the future.

I had pretty high expectations when I went there because my friend recommended this place, as well as all the good comments here. But I was quite disappointed. It seems like Kay wasn't even planning to look at my face shape before she started, which is very questionable. And I tried very hard to describe what I wanted, but the result is the opposite of what I expected. (Is it a common trend to cut bob hair like a mushroom in Asian salons??). During Covid I had to wear a mask throughout the process and that's already ??. I paid 50 dollars for this haircut and I have to say other places that are way cheaper than this can do better. I really do not think the outcome is desirable. I'm giving a 2 star just because Kay was patient when I went back and ask if she could fix some parts, she is a nice person, but still the hair is not satisfactory.

Nathan Li

Lots of care taken by the barber to make sure my hair looks good, but it is pretty expensive for a men's cut(~$32 before tip)

Jung Soo Ko

Excellent service and the hairstylist have very good skills. Also knows how to cut each different hairstyles. …

Tiffany Dadula-Jardin

It's not always the case when you find a salon that knows how to treat your hair and take care of you. Well folks, I have finally found it. I had went to Hair Plus on the suggestion of a family member and since then, have never went anywhere else. Sonia and Tina are amazing. I have never been disappointed with any colour or cut from them. If anything, I always walk out feeling and looking good, and I've received tons of compliments on my hair. They really know how to take care of you and your hair. They can accommodate walk-ins but it's better to make an appointment. Street parking is always available, but if you usually TTC it, they're close to Finch Station. I drive from Ajax just to see them. That's how much they rock :)

Peiling Cai

Tina at Hair Plus is amazing, plus this is a family owned salon and her mom did my curtain bangs perfectly! She’s so thorough with her consultation and makes sure you are happy along the way. She’ll make sure she’s helping you towards your hair goals with 1000% care :)

Caroline Ip

I got my balayage hair done by Tina just before the new years and I am still so in love with it! Tina was very patient and really takes the time to get your hair done they way you want it. Highly recommended!

L Yu

Kay is a very skilled and lovely lady to chat with about travelling. I first came to her 2 years ago to cut my hair from waist to shoulder length. She did such an excellent job that my hair looked good even as I let it grow out. I came back to have her cut it short again and still love it! Parking is available in #26 & #30.

Kayla Jenkins

The stylists at this salon go above and beyond for their clients! I'm very pleased with my coloring services as well as my cut! The stylists are highly skilled and truly want the best for their clients! Highly recommend!

Mika E

I love Hair Plus! My stylist is Tina & she is so kind, genuine and an overall amazing hair stylist! She's been my go-to to help me bleach and tone, do highlights, go back to my natural roots, and provide the best haircuts I've ever received! I trust her with my hair. Everyone who works there is very welcoming and I'm always glad to make my way up to North York to make sure my hair gets the best care possible.

Mae

Being somebody who I had miraculously come across with on instagram, I was very much satisfied with the work that Tina (@beautinahairstudio), the stylist at Hair Plus, had done on me. My balayage turned out amazing and it continues to look so after following the suggestions and advice that Tina had given me. She continues to help me out when I am in need of some input on hair products! Her and her mom were very kind and welcoming throughout the whole process of getting my hair done. They give off such a comforting vibe. They run an exceptional business. Will definitely return for sure!

Jenny Kim

Highly recommend! I just got my hair coloured by Tina and I absolutely love it! I’m not the type to change my hair dramatically so I was aiming for something natural but noticeable. She listened to what I wanted and gave great after care advise. She did an amazing job and I appreciated how she explained every step and catered to my hair.

Joseph Lee

Always have a really good experience! Proper care of hair with nice conversations! Book ahead of time so you’re set for time. For a men’s cut, you’ll be in and out in 20 mins tops. I’ve had cuts, my first perm, my first bleach and light colour dye here. I recommend them all!

Theresa Kim

Amazing work being done at this place! Tina (Beautina Hair Studio) is a professional! Have gotten a cut, style, balayage (twice), and toner done from her the past year and have loved each of her work. She is a perfectionist and will work over-time to meet your needs. Highly recommended!!

Mina Farhani

My hair is curly. My hairstyle became excellent without straight my hair. Thanks

Heayoung Byun

Korean Experienced Hairdresser is so good at hair-cut, perm, color etc... She has good sense and expert skills. If you have damaged hair she will recover your hair too. I always come here and always get satisfied.

Eric Xu

My wife is a returning customer, so good? They have parking as well

Vivian O'Leary

Tina is an amazing hair stylist! She listens to what you want to accomplish and takes the time for each of her clients. I recommend her for cuts and color. Not only is she a perfectionist but super sweet human.

Esther Rai

Really friendly staff and good value for a quality cut and color! I would definitely recommend stylist Tina who took the time to give me exactly the length I wanted for my angled bob trim & a beautiful mushroom brown tone :)

Parker Zhang

Good service

Danielle Skeba

Kay was a great hairstylist! I will keep going back to her as long as I live in KW!

Siyoung

Went there to get my haircut and had a satisfying experience. I have had 2 staffs, all really cared about their customers. Kay is experienced and gracious with all customers. Matthew spent enough time listening to the haircut I want, and he did a great job. The salon is up to date with design, and it is friendly, professional atmosphere.

Zidi Zhou

Great as usual

Sarah Feng

Me and my family have been going to Hair Plus for over a year. We have gotten our haircuts and I have also gotten a digital perm by Sonia. My most recent visit is to do balayage colour and cut with Tina. She’s AMAZING! My hair colour was perfect and I love my cut too! Even though I got my hair bleached, my hair is super soft and doesn’t feel damaged at all! Tina was really good at explaining the process! Highly recommend Tina! If you’re looking for balayage colour, Tina is it!

Amanda Hope

I thought Kay did a great job cutting off all my COVID hair! She listened to all of my requests and gave her own suggestions that paid off. Really wonderful place, especially if you have asian hair. Note that I think there is a 10% discount if you pay in cash.

Rachel Roe-Wu

I’ve gotten my hair done by Kay a few times and every time I leave feeling happy I trusted her with my cut!

Julia Song

Getting nice hair style but bit expensive.

Tina L.

I would give 100 stars if I could. I initially went in to see Tina for colour corrections and she did such an excellent job! She is very friendly, talented, detail oriented and professional. I am now a regular customer at Hair Plus. I usually see Tina for balayages and baby-light root touch-ups. Tina never fails me. I would recommend Tina to my friends and family.

Reanna Black

I was recommended here by someone and I am so happy that I found this place. First of all it is run by the sweetest people ever, and was in a convenient location too. I had Tina who is an absolute gem! She is so sweet, and is so very talented. My hair was pretty dull, and needed a major fix. I decided to go for balayage and what she did with my hair exceeded all my expectations! I left there with an entirely new hairstyle and feel like a brand new person. I will definitely be coming back.

Leslie Yee

I had a colour correction done by Tina in September a few weeks before my wedding after having a negative colouring experience with a hair stylist I had gone to for years. I was referred to her by a friend who had a correction done as well. I can't say enough how happy I was with the result. Tina was patient and listened to my entire hair history and gave me her honest advice. She is professional, easy going and very accommodating. I've received so many compliments on my hair. So glad I was introduced to her!

Melissa Primok

Recently came in for a haircut with Tina and I was very impressed. Tina is an exceptional stylist and really ensures that you're given a great experience, very professional and the salon is super cute. Will definitely be returning ASAP for colour!

Parenty Lau

I had my hair cut and dyed with Tina about a month ago. She’s super sweet and easy to get along with, and most importantly - clearly very passionate about what she does. She’s really reasonably priced given her exceptional service. My hair is still looking amazing and continue to receive so many compliments!

Vivian Lu

I have been seeing Sonia since I was in high school. Now I am 32. She is as good as always. Just got my hair permed and cut. Great job. Fair price. Thank you Sonia.

Kim Vo

Great service and very easy to talk too! Tina helped me pick the best haircut which was suitable for my face structure and gave me lots of hair tips on how to maintain my hair and possible future styles I might be interested in. I’m very happy with my haircut and the service. I scheduled a haircut with Tina last night and she was able to take me next day on time. Her Instagram handle is @beautinahairstudio Highly recommend!

Hyunjin Park

I am from Toronto so I would say the experience I had here was quite close to the best experience I ever had from one Korean Hair Salon near Yonge & Finch area. Kay is very professional, lovely, and also friendly to all customers. I was quite amazed and impressed to hear some very smooth and nice conversations in English with her valued customers a couple of times, while I was waiting to get my hair cut. I would give more than 5 stars if I could.. Too bad I am leaving the town :( I would definitely come back here when I get a chance to visit Waterloo. 10 thumbs up Hair Plus !!

Christina Truong

I had a great experience getting my hair done by Tina. It was my first time getting a balayage, and she walked me through the process and how to properly maintain it afterward. She was so sweet and took her time to make sure my hair looked good and stayed healthy, along with checking in if I needed to make a food run during our 5 hour session. I had also gotten a hair cut somewhere else a week beforehand and it was uneven, so Tina even fixed it for me. When I was there, she said, "Once you go blonde, you can't stop," and she's right because I want to go back to her and go even lighter now!

H Gh

I'm getting my haircut by Sonia for last 8 years and never disappointed. Not to mention that Sonia and her staff are always nice and welcoming.

GrowOM MA

A horrible place would never recommend this place! the staff doesn't have experience at all! they charged $40 and didn't do their job.. the worker (she) cut off my wife's hair on 4 inches shorter! I think you know how hair is important for women! this place just ruined my wife's mood.. This place at least must make a refund... Never go there!

Haley Chau

My experience at Hair Plus was amazing! Tina was so kind and patient with me the entire time. She made sure my hair was exactly how I wanted and I could not be happier with the results. Highly recommend.

Erica Harris

Last week was my first visit to Hair Plus and I loved everything about it. The Salon is cozy and the entire staff were super friendly. Tina is so talented I am so happy that I followed her to the shop, already looking forward to my next visit

Alex J.

One of the better hair stylists in this area - No complaints except for the occasional long wait when visiting the shop during busy hours.

Vee T

This place is absolutely the cutest salon ever! Best service hands down. Everyone is super sweet. I honestly have to say this place gives the best wash! Sooooo relaxing. Tina is an exceptional stylist and colorist. Never been disappointed. I highly recommend this place!

Kody

Great men's cut.

D Kim

I’ve been going here for 10 years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else in Toronto. Trust me, I’ve been to many different Korean and Japanese salons in toronto—there’s a reason why I’ve been going here for so long. Sonia usually cuts my hair but recently, I’ve been going to Tina. I’ve been getting a lot of compliments on my cut!! I usually get a perm and this is the only place that doesn’t make me look like an ahjumma (older lady). Also, only place where my hair doesn’t look fried and dried out. The staff is always super friendly and inviting!

Ed Yoo

Best hair dresser in toronto. Great sense of humour and also 'humble. Drove all the way from Niagara on the lake to get my hair done and I've never been happier!

kelly z

Been to Hair Plus 3 times, and each time I’ve had really great haircuts and styling. If you have Asian hair this is the perfect spot, because they know exactly how to take care of it - unlike other salons I’ve been to around here. The salon is clean, the owner Kay is friendly and skilled, and it’s within walking distance from both universities.

Allen

Excellent haircut

Tar Im

Came for a haircut for the first time here, they’ve cut my hair too short and uneven. I asked for an armpit length straight haircut but got a neck length bob cut! Literally cried my eyes out. Do not recommend!

Thao Le

Wonderful and cute salon!! I’ve got my hair colour (balayage) and cut here multiple times and my stylist Tina (ig: beautinahairstudio) NAILED IT!!!! She listened to everything I wanted and made my hair dreams come true! She’s very professional and talented! 11/10 would definitely recommend!! Not to mention the whole Hair Plus team is so sweet!

Brian Kim

Great place for asain style haircuts in the waterloo area! Matthew does a great cut for asain guys. Been a regular for about a year now .

May Ni

I got my haircut by Kay three times!! She is a great stylist, and knows what suits the person best. They are highly underrated.. you get high quality haircuts with low cost, I definitely recommend everyone in Waterloo to come!

Jin Ko

Annie did a great job!

S White

I started going to HairPlus about 4 years ago and when I moved further away I still make the trek to North York just to get my hair done by Sonia or Tina because I don’t trust any other hair salon. Sonia is always so great with my haircuts, happy with the result every time, she's really knowledgeable about what styles would work well for me. The first time I decided to do a vibrant colour (Pink) I went to Sonia and not only did it look amazing but even the product they use at the salon kept my hair so soft. They also showed me which product to use at home to keep my hair from being too damaged. I’ve continued to have my hair dyed a vibrant colour every year at HairPlus. Tina (Sonia’s daughter) recently started cutting and colouring my hair and I’m so happy with the care that she takes to make sure everything is perfect. All the staff is so friendly and inviting. I highly recommend Tina (@beautinahairstudio) for any colouring services!
