    I can’t say enough great things about Embu! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with such a warm and welcoming atmosphere—it honestly feels like you’ve just arrived somewhere between a spa and a reunion with your favourite people.
    Claudio is an absolute magician with styling. He somehow manages to take my “I don’t know what I want, just make me look good” and turn it into something fabulous every single time. I leave wondering why I don’t look like this every day—clearly I need him on speed dial!

    Claudio at Embu Hair Salon absolutely cuts the best hair. I always get complimented on my hair when he cuts it.

    I’ve been going to him for over 20 years and he consistently delivers the best haircuts. I like that he doesn’t use clippers to do fades and does it with scissors and a comb which takes great talent to do fades this way and it comes out so much nicer.

    The salon itself is welcoming and uses great Aveda products. Highly recommend booking with Claudio if you want top tier results from a true professional.
