TESTIMONIALS
Lucky NMickey Cheung is one of the most easy going, patient and welcoming hairstylists I have ever had in my life! He has extreme attention to detail and will not let you leave his chair if he sees something he doesn’t like! He treats your hair like a canvas, and honestly isn’t this something you want from a person who is handling your hair? Go with Mickey, you won’t regret it!
Tejaswinee SFranco gave me an awesome haircut. I have curly hair and I had a bad previous haircut. Franco was extremely patient and friendly. He worked with me to give a better shape to my hair, and explained to me how to style it as well. I appreciate the fact that he has taken the effort to educate himself about curly hair. This reflects in his cutting technique (dry cuts), as well as styling. He styled my hair curly as I usually would, so that I could actually see how the haircut would look when I wash and style it myself. If you need a good curly haircut, I recommend Franco!
Rachelle LAbsolutely loved my experience with Workshop Salon (specifically with Victoria)! I've had my hair done at other salons in the past but Victoria was notably skilled and thorough, on top of being a wonderful person to spend 4+ hours with for my hair. She not only worked with the ideas I had, but also used her expertise to ensure that what I wanted had longevity and protected my hair health. She took the time to explain her thought process and happily spent additional time to make adjustments to give me the ideal colour. Would highly recommend! 🙂

Victoria saved me from a case of bad bangs a couple of years ago and she's been my hairdresser ever since! The whole crew at Workshop is like a family: expect to feel comfortable and welcomed from the minute you walk in the door. Vic is an amazing hairdresser - she really takes her time to understand what you need and want. And on top of that, she's an incredible human being with a huge heart. I'm so glad I found her and Workshop!
Laura CI can't say enough about the owners and staff at Workshop Salon, over the years I have had a multitude of haircuts and colours, and I have never been disappointed. Franco Federico is a master of his craft and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my most valuable asset. Thanks for all the hard work you do and always making me look my best, no matter the occasion.
Rada SAnita is one of the best hairstylist I've ever been too. I been with her for almost 9 years and she is honestly amazing. She can deal with my stubborn thick hair and also everyone's hair. I've been to other hair dressers before her and Anita honestly has fixed my hair after those other hair stylists. She's awesome to talk to and also she's super friendly. She makes me happy after the appointment always and I'm glad to have her as a hair stylist 🙂 She has a amazing talent in hair and honestly I trust her with my hair and 100% recommend her!!

Amazing experience! A friend recommended Konrad to me and he gave me an appointment the same day, which worked out pretty great. Konrad is just amazing, he put his heart into the haircut and I love my hair more than ever. This is the best haircut I have had so far, because it is exactly the way I wanted. Konrad and I talked a lot, he is very sweet and friendly. He also gave me great tips for my hair and hair products. Would definitely recommend Workshop Salon and especially Konrad. ❤
Sheima SAbsolutely loved my experience with Workshop Salon (specifically with Franco)! Franco is one of the best hairstylist I've ever been too. He took time to explain his thought process and happily spent additional time to make adjustments to give me the ideal colour. Would highly recommend! 🙂
Tiffany CWonderful hair stylist and salon! I first came for a cut with Alyson, and the amazing results and experience had me coming back for a hair colouring that I also ended up absolutely loving. Alyson is incredibly talented and knowledgable about hair - she walked me through the steps she was taking, answered all the questions I had about hair care, and more. The salon itself was very professional and clean; each station had clear barriers from its neighbours and was sanitized thoroughly after each use. Super friendly and welcoming atmosphere as well. 100% would return - Alyson is amazing!!

Gio has been my go to stylist for many years now and he always does an amazing job! He also makes you feel very comfortable and is really friendly. He's very knowledgeable and gives good tips on how to take care of your hair. Can't see myself getting my hair cut by anyone else. <3
Roz MAlways a pleasure to get my hair done by Franco and others here at the salon.
Angelene VI've been going to Mickey for years and he has been my hairstylist for a long time. Mickey always does an exceptional job whether its a haircut or hair coloring. He is very professional, he listens to what you're looking for and works with you throughout the whole process. His work is amazing and I highly recommend him!

From a haircut on June 28th with Giovanni as I was in a rush for a last minute trim due to my main hair stylist being booked up. I explained wanting my bangs out of my face, any possible ways to style that or cut the hair. He seemed quite confident in this task. 6 months later and I'm realizing I have a long ways to go still, looking at about another 1-2 years to regain what I've lost. When working with a long haired client you really need to be careful with how much length you choose to cut off. Tight curly hair can take years to grow and the shorter it is then the more it shrinks. Asside from my disappointments and miscommunication, all in all this is a great salon with very talented hair dressers and a passionate owner. Giovanni is good with curly hair, but be clear with what you want when dealing with anybody especially for the first time. I do recommend Giovanni for curly hair or the owner himself Franco. First photo is my hair prior to this incident, second 2 photos are my hair after the cut and a few months after.
Mari XThis is the first salon I've been to since the pandemic has been getting better. After not cutting my hair for over 2 years, Alyson really took good care of it. We throughly discussed the style I wanted before and during the appointment, she made sure to confirm my interests while also making very professional suggestions to get the look I wanted. She even considered how my colour would fade out, and suggested to dye it a richer ash purple initially and when it starts to fade (as colour does) it'll fade into the colour I want. Which I also agreed with.
The tools and products used were very professional, for example for a first wash after dyed hair you would usually wash your hair until it runs clear, but because the product was high quality and the job Alyson did was so good, the water ran clear immediately, with no staining on my towels.
In conclusion I was very happy with my results at the salon, the price was fair considering the amount of time and effort that had to go into my hair bleaching (black --> blonde ---> purple). Alyson did a great job, and I highly recommend her, I contacted her through her instagram @myhairhues, or you can contact the salon. I will be coming back every time for my hair needs.
