AVOID AT ALL COSTS. This place fools you with a low price tag to get you in the door and then adds unnecessary steps and products to charge much much more. You come in for 100 dollar job and leave with a 500 dollar bill. You would expect the outcome to at least be good after that scam but your hair ends up being a disaster as well.

I found these guys through Reddit reviews, and they didn’t disappoint. Elio understood exactly what I wanted, and also gave me great advice about my hair health in general. I left feeling beautiful, and with a happy wallet. I’d recommend to anyone who’s looking to walk into a salon and receive exactly what they asked for!

This was my first time at the salon and I absolutely love my hair!!! My hair was dyed black half a year ago and they still managed to get the colour I wanted. Although, my bank account wasn’t working and I felt bad I couldn’t give them their money, Elio was kind enough to let me come back the next day to pay them back.

I normally don’t write reviews but I feel like I have to because of how pleased I am with the amazing work that Elio did on my hair. I got a balayage and loved it. He is very professional, talented, friendly, skillful and well knowledgeable with his work. The staff are super nice too. Highly recommend this place!!

I came here on a recommendation by a friend and this was one of the best decisions I've made. I was given beautiful, bright, vibrant colour that no other salon has been able to replicate. Everyone was so kind and accommodating and Elio worked around my schedule to get me in last minute. I can't wait to come back!

(Sonia Beauty) .. I trust Sonia with my life! She gives me the best deals and she saved my eyebrows from the mess they were. She always makes sure I'm comfortable and relaxed and the end result is always perfect. I've recommended her to so many of my friends and family because she does a job like no other!!!!!!!

I’ve been getting my hair done by Ellio at Starz Salon the past 2 years.
