I switched to the Curly Hair Institute last year after several years at Curl Ambassadors on Harbord. I loved my stylist there (Orlena) but it was so hard to get an appointment there and I didn't work downtown anymore so when some curly haired colleagues recommended the Institute I thought I'd give it a go. It's much easier to get an appointment here (I can generally book 2 weeks in advance)
I love my stylist Janine. She always gives me a great cut that compliments my curls and thins out my unbelievably thick hair. She is super friendly and I enjoy our chats. She's also great about not pushing product on me.
My only complaint is that the cuts are pricey. But considering I only go 3-4 times a year it's worth it.
