Hair Salon Head Spa-Japanese - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

When Toronto finally reopened from the third wave of lockdown in mid-July, I was excited about getting a hair appointment, but apparently so were many others. The Japanese salons that I frequented were all soon booked until September. Luckily, I stumbled upon Atelier May! I took a chance and filled in a bit more detail on what my expectations were for this appointment in the booking form. Honestly, as usual, I didn’t really have a clear idea of what style I wanted but I was sure that I’d like to try a different colour. And then, surprisingly, while confirming my booking, Akemi also replied to my note and asked for even more detail about the hair colours I was considering... read full review

I loved my friend's new haircut and she told me to go see Akemi, who did her hair. Akemi was very friendly, actually the staff were all friendly. The salon was naturally bright because of their large windows. The salon gave me a very comfortable and homey feeling. It's clean and simple. Akemi took the time to ask what kind of cut I wanted and also took the time to give her recommendations. As well, she taught me simple hair tips that are easy to do!! The biggest bonus here is the head spa/shampoo before getting the cut - I have never ever had such an amazing shampoo session! Ryo is the massage master! I highly recommend getting your hair done by Akemi!
