| - They claim to be the best hair salon in Toronto, and in all fairness this is probably as good as it gets.
I have only been to Solis two times, and that is because it is *very* hard to get an appointment when I want to. The first time I had highlights done by Dino, this is one of the owners. here is a summary:
Pros:
- he will look at your overall look, face, skin tone, etc and suggest a color. I wanted subtle caramel highlights on my light brown hair and he told me they will be barely noticeable. He suggested a much lighter ashy blonde. I listened to him, and it turned out amazing.
- knows what he is doing; he has plenty of experience and will know how thick the highlights should be, where they should start, what toner to use afterwards
- price is reasonable, same as most salons, I believe it was around $150
Cons:
- you probably have to book him a few weeks in advance
- you can tell he is a bit full of himself, he knows he is good
- made me wait about 20 min
- a little bit patronizing (when it comes to hair at least)
To me, all these cons are acceptable as long as the results are good, which they were.
I also had a haircut with one of the girls there, and it was mediocre. I kept having to tell her what to do, that is, she had no vision of what would look good on me. Then again, the pro at Solis for hair cuts is Ernesto, but he has to be books a looong time in advance.
Overall, I would recommend this Salon. Great value for your $
