Brian JonesFor, oh, forever, Edmonton winters have been brutal on hair. And my attempts at home treatments for winter hair weren’t too successful either. Let’s just say they landed me on more than one “worst hair of the day” list (thanks, social media).
Determined to break the bad hair cycle, I went on a mission to find the best hair salons in Edmonton. Over consultations, perms, and even a color correction or two (don’t judge!), I finally found the top ones.
No more electrocuted-chic hairstyles for me – and hopefully for you too!

Here are some reviews from previous Blonde Brunette Hair Studio clients:
“It has been a long time since I’ve had a cut… Covid and all… I visited the salon today and had Sarah as my stylist… I don’t much care for getting my hair done as I’ve had some pretty bad experiences in the past… I have to say, this is the best cut I’ve had in 10 years! Sarah was so easy to talk to and she understood what I wanted and followed through. She really listened to what I wanted and I left with the EXACT CUT AND STYLE that I wanted. Good stylists are hard to come by, and I just found mine. Thank you Sarah so much for the amazing cut and the comfortable experience. I will definitely be returning and I recommend anyone to choose her as your stylist” – C.H.
“The salon is fantastic! I felt like royalty. The fresh colours, the chandeliers, the candle lit ambience and the VERY luxurious fuzzy footstools were absolutely incredible! You also can’t beat the natural light that flows through, it really lets you see your new colour! Sarah was attentive and kind, she listened to my thoughts and we came up with a great plan for my hair. Sarah is very talented and will take the time to ensure your needs are met.
I highly recommend Blonde Brunette Hair Studio!! 10/10!!” – Chelsea P.

Customer Reviews
Here are some reviews from their clients:
“Timothie Hill is the absolute best hair dresser I’ve ever had. His work is amazing, his service is top notch and personalized to each individual, and he makes every appointment feel safe and fun! Also, all appointments are 1 on 1, so there’s no busy waiting room area. Which means you have his complete attention for the entirety of your appointment. If you’re in the market to get your hair done again, or even if you want to try something new with your hair, I highly recommend going to see him for your next appointment!” – Shea Rose
“I cannot say enough about how Timothie makes his clients feel. It is empowering to get a haircut/colour from Timothie as he encourages you to express yourself fully. I am a mature woman (lol) and after years of trying to get my grey hair blended in correctly and grown out and being disappointed Timothie listened to what I said and I left that day from his salon in love with my colour and cut. My daughter who is 17 years old has been getting the edgiest haircuts from Timothie for years. I recently treated my daughter’s friend to Timothie and walked out of the salon saying she felt like a woman with an adult haircut. With both girls – woman – Timothie took the time to make sure he understood what they wanted. The biggest plus is the way Timothie can customize your experience to specific needs for sound, personal space etc. Simply put – he’s amazing!”

Quinntessential Salon began as a one-woman operation but has grown and expanded its team today.
Similar to other salons, they offer services for both men and women. However, what sets them apart are the four exclusive private rooms for those that prefer to get pampered in a more peaceful environment.
Moreover, they offer hair botox, which is one of the most advanced hair repair, anti-aging, and smoothing treatments. It repairs the damaged and broken hair fibers with a powerful concentrate of active ingredients such as caviar oil, amino acids, natural proteins, and argan oil.
Quinntessential Salon’s standard hair cuts are worth considering as well, since the service already includes shampoo, conditioner, and a blowout.
Their coloring services are also impressive, since their experts use Nook Italy hair color, which is organic. Quinn also went and trained in Italy to learn the different techniques and currently serves as the brand’s educator in Edmonton.

Dubbed by Fashion Magazine one of Edmonton’s best hair salons, SOHO makes you look your best with prestigious services that focus on Parisian-inspired styles. With a luxury hair colour line from Balmain Hair Couture and their top-of-the-line balayage services, they strive to make every woman feel beautiful with a classic French girl look.
Founded by Carole Lemire, a certified master hairstylist, and educator, SOHO has been serving Edmonton since 2010. The hairstyling team receives continuous training and education in major fashion capitals such as London, Paris, New York City, and Los Angeles.
Having consistently received the Consumer Choice Award for Best Hair Salon since 2018, we are enamoured with the design of SOHO. Stepping into the salon feels like entering an apartment in Paris, with carefully handpicked decor and constantly rotating artwork on the walls.
Not only are the fixtures stylish, but they’re functional as well – SOHO’s Color Perfect LED Lighting system produces perfectly balanced light to help visualize accurate hair colour. This internationally recognized lighting guarantees that the shade you want is the shade you get.
Take note though that if you’re only getting your hair coloured, post-blow-dry services aren’t included in the quoted price, unless you pair it with a cut. Nevertheless, in the event you’re not satisfied with one of their services, they offer to adjust your hair colour or cut within 5 days of your original appointment.
Now, imagine being able to order a French cappuccino or latte while waiting for your hair appointment surrounded by the charming decor and a fancy ambiance. The attention to the little details is what makes SOHO one of our top hair salons in Edmonton.
Pros
- Offers Paris-inspired cappuccinos and lattes
- Chic design similar to a Parisian apartment
- Owner is a master stylist
Cons
- Tint services don’t include a blow-dry without a haircut
- Expensive compared to other salons
Customer Reviews
Brielle Beauchamp was a new resident in Edmonton looking for the perfect salon for her needs. When she chanced upon SOHO, she became a loyal customer for life. She writes:
“First of all, these stylists are so welcoming and positive. Being a hairstylist who recently moved to Edmonton, I was looking for a salon exactly like this one! Amanda slayed my hair color and Diane took the time to give me a trim. I love the outcome of my hair, I will definitely be back. The atmosphere was very clean and everyone was professional.”
Kayla Tran, another client, is thankful she found SOHO, as she shares:
“I love Soho, they are the best, nice atmosphere and very professional. All the stylists are very knowledgeable and talented. My hair stylist Christine is so amazing, she knows exactly what I like and does an excellent job. I had been to many hair salons before, and I always got so disappointed about the results ( I don’t mind the cost ). I feel I was very lucky to find Soho and Christine after all”
6. Rock, Paper, Shears
| SERVICES | Full Service Package, Refresh Package, Trim, Tone & Treatment Package, Global Colour, Bleach & Tone Package, Colour Correction, Haircut, Extensions |

| OPERATING HOURS | Monday to Friday: 9:00am – 9:00pm |
Rock Paper Shears Hair Studio opened its doors in 2012 and has been providing Edmonton with its styling services ever since. With offerings such as the typical cut, colouring, texturing, and deep treatments that will bring your hair back to its healthy self, they ensure the best hair care for anyone getting their services.
Their Full-Service Package offers the complete treatment for your hair, which includes a full balayage, bonding treatment, haircut, and hair painting. It’s only recommended to do this twice each year and the procedure lasts around four hours.
If you’re just looking for maintenance for your current hairstyle, you can sign up for their Refresh or Trim, Tone & Treatment Package. This revitalizes your look with basic touch-ups which are recommended in-between getting the Full-Service Treatments.
We’re not a big fan of Rock Paper Shears charging $100 hourly rates instead of flat rates for their services. Nevertheless, the excellent results speak for themselves and are well worth the price.
Another one of Rock Paper Shears’ specialties is extensions, offering the micro weft and hand-tied sew-in method, inclusive of colouring services. You’ll need to have a free consultation with the stylist first, and take note that the cost of the extensions is an additional charge from the hourly rate of installation.
Pros
- Offers specialized dyes from Sweden
- Free consultations
Cons
- Charges an hourly rate for services
- Closed on weekend
Customer Reviews
Ashleigh Lebo is a long-time client of Rock, Paper, Shears and recommends it to anybody looking for a salon. She shares:

My hair is the longest and healthiest it has ever been…I am always 200% satisfied leaving my appointment. If you don’t know already, Jess is simply the best!!!”
Stephanie Asselman, another customer, is also a big fan of this salon and has nothing but positive things to say:

| CONTACT DETAILS | Phone: (780) 457-3689 |
| OPERATING HOURS | Tuesday to Saturday: 10:00am – 7:00pm |
Mane Envy Salon is unique because it operates as a co-op of independent hairdressers that rent their working space. This is very convenient because it allows you to explore different stylists with varying specialties.
One of their areas of expertise is in diagnosing your scalp and hair to identify the proper treatment or styling that will be best suited for you. Part of the reason why Mane Envy Salon specializes in treatments is that the owners are full-time medical personnel, so don’t expect to see them manning the floor.
Nevertheless, their co-op stylists are experts in colouring blonde, ash grey, and bold colours such as vibrant red. No matter what the treatment, they strive to perform it without damaging your hair and scalp.
Although they are experts in colouring, they’re also skilled in standard haircuts, updos, and hair care. Each stylist has their degree of expertise, and you’ll be assigned a stylist depending on the treatment that you’re looking for.
Their prices vary in range, so to limit confusion, pricing is done by consultation with your preferred stylist.
Pros
- Specializes in diagnosis and treatment
- Co-op with independent stylists
Cons
- Not much interaction with owners
- Pricing is different per stylist
Customer Reviews
Nicole M. is a long-time customer of Mane Envy Salon and appreciated how they fixed her botched hairdo from another establishment. She writes:
“These guys are a great team of stylists! They are all great ! I had a botch job Hair do at a dif salon and Sheree spent the time repairing , colouring and carefully applying extensions to make my hair look 10000% better !”
Kim F., who went to Mane Envy because her stylist moved there, also shares her recommendation as she says:
“Melanie has moved from Ragged Edge to Mane Envy. Although she specializes in coloring, she is also very knowlegeable about cuts, styles and hair care. After over 20 years of coloring my hair, I decided to go grey. Melanie has been helpful in slowly cutting my hair and providing a wonderful shampoo to deal with dry scalp issues. I never knew I had been reactionary to the dye until I quit coloring. My scalp is healthy and my grey hair looks fabulous!”

Customer Reviews
Nic Mutlow is a long-time customer of Fresh & Co and has visited all its locations. This is her story:
“I have gone to Fresh & Co for years. I have been through all 3 south locations and seen many stylists. It always has been a great experience. I have now seen Magda at the Windermere location for almost a couple years and she is always a dream to deal with. So polite and helpful with all my questions. She is always giving me tips and recommending me the correct products for issues with my hair. I am very particular with my stylist and she has been nothing short of perfect since I have started seeing her. Her performance and attitude is reflected throughout the entire salon. The front end staff are always so helpful and polite. They are always quick to offer me a beverage, take my coat, and make me comfortable. I would highly recommend these salons to anyone looking for a friendly, accommodating, and professionally run salon.”
Chantel Barilla is a relatively new client, but it’s safe to say she is now a regular. She shares:
“I’ve been here twice now for haircuts and both times they have been amazing and very attentive. Everyone makes conversation and makes it feel like a very friendly atmosphere. They are willing to talk about the different products available and help you make an educated decision about what will suit you best. I love my haircut”

Customer Reviews
Maureen B. is a long-time customer of Grateful Head Hair Studio and is willing to travel a great distance to go there. This is her story:
“Living in Calgary, I still drive up to Edmonton to see Nadine at Grateful Head. After much protest from my husband, a cut from Garrett showed him why I make the drive and he is now also a loyal customer. The number of times I’ve been told how great my hair is speaks to the talent of the stylists here – and they are stylists, not just hairdressers. Nadine’s ability to envision and create a style that speaks to the person and their individuality is impressive. In over 10 years I have blindly trusted Nadine’s vision and have never once been disappointed, always walking away feeling like my hair states exactly who I am. Don’t hesitate to trust your hair to this salon.”
Claude Dubé, another client, also shares her experience:
“Great salon with very friendly staff. Stylists are professional and make you look your best. I’ve been seeing Garett for years now and he always gives me a great cut. Awesome place!”

Studio Mi is originally owned by Justine Dreger, who opened her salon at only 23 years old and was able to learn the business inside and out. Today, one of her specialties is planning wedding stylings and events, where she travels between Canada and Mexico.
Kim Tran is also a stylist at Studio Mi and rose to the position of co-owner at Studio Mi, specializing in colouring. Together with Justine, they have a combined experience of over two decades in the industry.
Joining their team are Krystal Wolf and Jay Pham, a master colour expert and master barber respectively. Together, they round up the experienced team of this salon that offers a cool and relaxed salon experience that promises exceptional results.
Although their salon focuses more on colouring hair than styling, their focus on a specific niche lets them showcase their honed skills to their clients, whether they’re looking for a balayage, root touch-up, or foil work.

Zouzou Hair first opened its doors in 2014 offering residents of Edmonton its premium hair salon and barbershop services. Owned by head stylist Joseph Hayek, they deliver a range of services with results you’re sure to be pleased with.
Although Joesph’s background is more rooted in barbering, he has educated himself to be knowledgeable in all fields of his craft. Whether it’s adding unique colour combinations or creating a hair treatment plan for customers, he’s got it covered.
One of their unique services is hair tattoos, although Zouzou hair uses the term to refer to trendy and intricate hair designs as opposed to scalp micropigmentation. This is one of their most sought-after services and has helped Zouzou gain a loyal following among the men of Edmonton.
We like Zouzou Hair because they offer a range of products to help you maintain and care for your hair at home regularly. From treatment rinses for fragile hair, handcrafted captain razors, to special occasion gift baskets, you can find something to take home for your loved ones and yourself from this salon.
Pros
- Skilled in hair “tattoo” designs
- Range of high-quality products sold in the store
Cons

Customer Reviews
Ryan Chan, a regular customer, always seeks out Joseph for his haircut. He writes:
“Shoutout to my guy Joseph man. Always gets my fade spot on and he helped me recently switched up my style which I am really liking. Also a real fun dude to talk to. I’d recommend him to anyone”
Emma Stout is another regular customer, who aside from enjoying the services at Zouzou, comes back for the personal service. She shares:
“I’ve been a customer for a couple of years now, and can’t recommend Joseph enough! He’s always got an idea to take a haircut further (asymmetrical cut? fun bangs? touch of colour?), but never in a way that pressures you. He’s also a blast to chat with, and I’ve heard the same good things from everyone I send there. Personally, I’ve gained so much confidence in my hair, and enjoyed every appointment along the way.”

“I’ve been trusting thyda with my hair since 2011 because her quality and care of detail to attention is always spot on. And she’s great to talk to as she is lovely too.”
Melissa Hills, on the other hand, was coming in for a haircut and decided to get her child one as well. She was pleased with her results as she writes:
“I had to bring my 2yo today and the stylists were so welcoming. Breezy (not sure about spelling) even read her stories while I got my haircut. It went so well we got her a haircut too. Thank you for making a potentially stressful experience such a pleasant one!”

Tommie Salon is owned by master stylist Tommie, established in Edmonton in 2013. She has over three decades of experience from various countries worldwide and has won the Canadian Hairdresser Mirror Awards as one of the top persons in her field.
Her handpicked team of professionals is composed of master stylists, master colour artists, and senior stylists who all have a passion for their craft. Although they specialize in bridal and graduation looks, they offer a range of services for a variety of people.
One of their unique services is New Plastic Smoothing Treatment which is an alternative non-Keratin system that helps keep your hair straight and shiny for a longer period. Although quite expensive, it can last up to five months without needing to be retouched and has anti-frizz properties.
Tommie Salon also offers non-hair cosmetic services such as makeup, eyebrow waxing, and eyebrow tint. Although these are ala carte services from their graduation and bridal packages, they include a “trial” or rehearsal session to get the look just right.
They also offer a range of colouring services from colour growth, balayage, designer highlights, and full-head toner, among others. Even though they only use products from the Color Me line of Kevin Murphy, these are all ammonia and PPD-free.
If you’re ready to book your appointment at Tommie Salon, make sure that you take note of their booking and cancellation policies. They require a minimum of 24 hours cancellation notice, and if you inform them under 12 hours before your appointment, you’ll be charged the full price of your booked service.

Energie Hair Studio Inc. believes that each hairstyle should depend not just on the person’s facial features but on their lifestyle as well. They place great importance on the consultation process to ensure that your final look complements you as a person.
This salon presents itself as an all-around salon, offering cuts, beauty and spa treatments. While we would have liked to see more intricate hairstyling options, their other range of services more than makes up for it.
Some of their beauty services include tinting, waxing and threading which you can have on the same day as your hairstyling appointment as well. They can perform these treatments on your eyebrows, eyelashes, brows, and entire face should you choose to do so.
However, their highlight here is the Aroma Body Polish, a 90-minute treatment that aims to remove all the dead skin cells from your skin. It’s finished off with an aromatic massage, which helps you leave the salon feeling refreshed and energized.
Pros
- Offers complete all-in-one beauty treatments
- Affordable rates compared to other salons
Cons
- Perms and extensions are charged by the hour
- Limited hair services

Customer Reviews
“I went to this salon for the first time today due to the positive reviews and let me tell you – the reviews are spot on! I have nothing but great things to say about the service I received. I had an excellent experience from the time I entered the salon all the way up until I left. I got a cut and colour from Taylor who was absolutely amazing. She was so friendly and incredibly skilled at what she does! She was able to turn my general idea of what I was looking for into something fabulous! I am so pleased with the result she provided me. I feel so much more confident with my hair now. I love how she made sure I knew exactly what she was doing and what would happen next. This allowed me to be relaxed and informed regarding my experience. I could not be happier and will definitely be coming back again in the future!!”
“I absolutely love the outcome of my hair, all thanks to Justine! She is so kind and so easy to talk to. She made my hair dreams come true, and made me feel extremely comfortable in her hands. I would recommend this salon to everyone, they’re so kind and the salon is extremely clean. I will definitely be returning to Justine for all my future hair needs! Thank you again!”
