Best Hair Salons In Courtenay

“If I could give more stars, I would !!! My first time here after seeing a LOT of people suggesting it, and I am so, SO happy I finally went !!! This place is absolutely wonderful, and the ladies? They are kind beyond measure, welcoming, friendly, NONjudgmental, and super knowledgable. Chelsea was the hairdresser who did my hair, and I absolutely LOVE it, and her! I havent had a haircut in roughly 4years now, and she worked magic ! Honestly can't say enough good things about the salon, or the ladies. Do yourself a favor, and head over there the next time you get your hair did, you won't regret it !!“

“I had Bernadette cut my hair and she did an excellent job - it wasn’t too short and still looked feminine.“

“Layered bob with bangs-- my hair looks and feels fuller and thicker with Claude's haircutting techniques. Versatile with how I can style it. An amazing and perfect cut in every way!“

“Best hair cut in a very long time!! And at a very reasonable rate price wise with a special rate for us older gals and seniors
Highly recommend her !“

“Joanne is always ready to accommodate me❤️?with my unpredictable schedule, and I always walk out the door feeling good about myself.“

“Really awesome local salon. The girls are all really friendly and make you feel welcome. Also walked away with a super neat fade. Tough to find in the valley. Would highly recommend. ?“

“Ashley has been doing my hair for 15 years. I'd never go anywhere else. This salon is fabulous.“

“My son went in for his first wash and cut and loved it. Staff were very kind and the stylist Greg was amazing. He was so good with my son, and made him laugh. This has been the best cut my son has had since his new hairstyle he wanted and he couldn’t stop talking about it on the way home to show his friends. Thank You Chatters, I’m so glad you’re in the mall.“

“I cannot say enough good things about Bernice! She is so kind and welcoming. I’m new to the area so was trying out a new salon and usually have a hard time finding someone who will put layers in my long hair (sigh) but she listened, added as many as I wanted to lighten up my hair, it’s exactly what I wanted and she absolutely killed it. She was patient and took a little at a time till I was happy with it. She will for-sure be my go too from here on out. 10/10 absolute gem!“

“Bob, my hairdresser was amazing. He did an amazing job on my troublesome hair. And having Aveda hair products was a bonus. Friendly people, I will definitely be back. Also clothing available, definitely go, check it out. It's a funky place, loved it, in downtown Courtenay.“

“Shaun is a beaut. Best cut I’ve had and great conversations. Thanks a lot for getting me in with such short notice:)“

“I have been going to see Kimber for a few years now and it is always a great experience!! She is very knowledgeable and always has great advice on styling and cutting my fine, thin hair. Highly recommended you check out A Gemstone Hair Studio.?“

“I had my hair cut by Lynn last week. Best cut I have had in years. I will definitely be back!“

“Heather was amazing. My kid hates getting his hair cut. We have been to a number of higher priced salons, barbers, studios- and it’s always the same: “I hate my haircut”.
Tonight we went to First Choice figuring that if he’s gonna hate it anyway- it might as well be affordable. Heather spent a good amount of time getting to know my kid, trying to understand what he wanted, and then being thorough in giving him a good cut.

The result… after 13 years… FINALLY….

“This is the first time I’ve ever liked a haircut”

Thanks Heather,
You’ll see us again in a month or so!“

“Elijah did an amazing job and took extra care. It was my first hair cut since chemo and I think my nervousness showed, but she championed through to a great short-cut result.

Thanks so much Elijah!“

“Had a lovely birthday treat experience with a Head Massage (not exactly what I was expecting, but even more amazing) followed by a blow out. Left feeling relaxed and beautiful.“

“Keisja is a hair goddess! She always helps me figure out exactly what I want, what works for up-keep and within my budget making all my hair dreams come true. I honestly commute from Squamish (where she used to work years ago) to come see her annually because I know I am guaranteed an incredible appointment, a thorough chat about my hair dreams and to leave with EXACTLY what I want. I have very curly hair and she always cuts it perfectly for me to wear it natural or styled. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist they can 100% trust with their hair.“

“My son got an awesome new cut by Joey today. I also got an unexpected, much needed touch up by Alexis. I booked my daughter in next week. We've found our new family salon!!“

“Emma gives me the best cuts I’ve ever had in my long life. She listens to what I say even if I can’t find the right words and understands that I don’t style my hair and gives me cuts that work with my no fuss lifestyle. Plus she has great stories and is very kind and loves dogs. I wish my hair grew faster so I could see her more often!!“
