| - I found the one - and by that, I mean the one and only stylist and salon I will go to for the rest of my life.
I discovered NC Salon+ online after hours of researching the best way to go from a full head of black hair to pastel hair amazingness. NC Salon is one of the few places in the GTA that offer Olaplex. And after watching Sylvia Jade's YouTube video of her pastel lilac hair from NC, I decided this was the place to go.
First, I highly recommend scheduling a consultation before booking an appointment, which is what I did. You get to talk to a stylist during the consultation and they'll give you a realistic sense of what can be accomplished with the hair you currently have. Also, they'll give you a quote on how much everything is going to cost. From there, you can choose to put in a 10% deposit to book your appointment (which goes towards total costs) or just be on your merry way.
Like other reviews have mentioned, their services are expensive. Is it worth every penny? YES.
Growing up in an asian household in Markham, the $7 haircut by a family friend's relative was always the way to go. But my past 'cheap salon experiences' have been so bad that I've almost grown a phobia to salons - almost. When you're paying for hair services at NC Salon, you are definitely getting your money's worth AND more.
The appointment: I booked an appointment a week after my consultation with Erika. Erika is a total sweetheart and has a talent of getting you to tell her what you really want or don't want. Which is great for me, because I tend to lose my ability to speak when I'm getting a haircut. Throughout the appointment, Erika and her team were very transparent about what was being done to my hair, what products were being used and how it applies to the pricing of my quote. During wait times, Megumi would serve me DELISH fruity green tea, while Erika even lent me one of the salon's iPads to play with. Of course, you can also hookup to their Wi-Fi and use your own devices to amuse yourself while you wait.
The place: Located on the 2nd floor off the strip of stores on Yonge st, just south of Bloor. The interior is very fresh and clean - with a white and woodsy motif going on. The washing station looks like something out of a sci-fi movie, very cool yet very comfy. I'll admit, I slipped into blissful naps while I was getting my scalp massaged and my hair washed/shampooed.
End result: As much as I don't want to use the word fleek, my hair is definitely on fleek. Never have I ever been so happy with my hair. And considering the transition I went through (black to blonde), my hair is still in great condition: no breakage, less fallout and just as smooth as it was before getting bleached. Erika and her team are amazing! Like I said - I found the one! From now on, I will always go to Erika and NC Salon to get my hair done.
