This was the best hair experience I've had in Vancouver! Tara was amazing and knew exactly what I wanted. She took the time to explain the techniques she was using and how to style it myself at home. She's also just a delightful person in general, so that's a bonus!

I highly recommend this salon. They were on time, don't push products at you, and super affordable!

I just wanted to post an update since my hair has faded out.

I want to start off by saying that this update is not to be taken personally by anyone at Axis, because the staff there are amazing and friendly and talented. But, I probably will not be returning.

Over the few months that I had gone to Axis I spent around $600 and was mostly unhappy with the way my hair turned out. They had no... more

I come for blow outs. Fast in & out appointments.

Been here on 3 different occasions. All blow outs. Haven't really found anyone here yet that is a blow out god. But they are good on time and they get the job done. I must say all of the stylists had amazing hair washing skills. I pretty much just come here for the good wash and cuz I'm lazy to style my own hair. It's on the pricy side for a... more

I go to Axis Salon for their senior stylist, Dawn. For nearly ten years, Dawn has been my go-to person for any significant change to my hair. My hair is hard to manage and I saught long and hard for a stylist who could restore my hair and make it work for me. Finding Dawn was a breath of fresh air, and a great relief. I've recommended her to friends who have all diverse hair types and they each... more

Great stylists. I've gone to Bernice for the last three years. She's always accommodating with my schedule and cleanups are always free. A bit pricier but it's worth it.

Andrew rocks! Great cuts and colours. My bill is always very reasonable and it's the first time I have been charged what I have been quoted (or less). Best all round hairdresser in vancouver.

I can totally see why Axis has been voted the #1 salon in Vancouver over and over again. I went in for a quick hair cut today, and not only was I happy with the price ($15 cheaper than where I was getting it done before) but I really enjoyed the experience. All the staff were friendly and nice. The hair cut I got was rather simple, but I discovered once you are in their database you can receive... more

I've been going to Billie-Jean for over a year. She's the best hairdresser I've ever had, I recommend her to friends and sent my other half to her to get his hair sorted too. She always does a fabulous job and takes pride in her work.
She's also a bargain at $45, and it helps she's also interesting and incredibly funny.

Just ask for Takashi. He is amazing and can cut any style. I had a long hair but I wanted it shorter. After looking at a few potential styles, we agreed on one, and he went to work. The result is even better than I thought.

I had some good experiences and others not so good after moving to Vancouver.

Until...... Until I found Andrew!

I had long hair and decided to cut it really really short. Of course such a "drastic" decision required an awesome hairstylist. I spent almost one month researching the subject (Yelp was very helpful) and I found Axis and Andrew.

I've been seeing Katie for over two years now because she is fantastic. She really takes the time to listen to what your looking for, and has the experience and knowledge to make your hair look fantastic.

Everyone is the salon seems super friendly and approachable. All around... more

I heart Shasta.
She's a wonderful stylist that works with you to get the desired look! Come in with a vision and work with her step by step to get it. I went in with ratty Vancouver hair, and came out looking like I came from the beaches of California. Feel 100% in 90 mins You would too after a scalp massage, shampoo, and this magic they call Sea Salt spray.

I've just recently gone back, and am happy to say that I had the same positive experience as last time; this time with a different stylist (Brittany). They accommodated a last-minute same day appointment, they were on time, I was happy with the friendly service and the hair cut itself, and the price was right.

The salon was extremely busy, which I take as a sign that they have a happy and... more

My first time there I came with a groupon. Brittany was the one who cut and styled my hair. She was great and very friendly!! The service was amazing!
The next time I need my hair to be cut I called the salon and asked for Brittany again as I liked her job. The haircut cost 40 dollars only that I think for the salon in Coal Harbor is quite a good price. She did a wonderful job again and I... more

I'm new to van and was in need of a simple trim and partial highlight. I live pretty close to this salon and pass it every day going to and from work and it's always busy. I figured it would be a safe bet and after looking at reviews, I called and booked an appointment.

I was going to this salon for years, very nice staff and results were good. What I don't like about this salon is that there are no colour specialists. The stylists do colour as well and half the time I'd get unsatisfactory results and had to go back to correct the mistakes, and then my hair would be left soooo so dry. Another thing is that the stylists that I had would not recommend anything,... more

Katie looks young but you can tell she knows what she's doing! My mom is a Sasoon trained stylist that has been doing hair for years and is the only person that touches my hair.

I have been to this location three times. Each time I was not completely satisfied, so I tried a different stylist the next time I went. It was very close to my house, and that was my only reason for returning.

On my third an final visit, the stylist did not do what I had asked, even after I repeated what I wanted. My total was close to $350 for colour and cut, which is INSANE. I ended up... more

I've been to several of their mid-priced female stylists and I think each time the results were about average. Everyone seems really nice and friendly, but for what they charge (tried a cut, color, and updo/halfdo), I've left each time feeling like it could have been better.

Apparently the owner designs the art in there and that is worth seeing.

Tried a couple of stylists at this location and found it to be dismal. The cut should be right the first time and I should not have to return to have the cut fixed. Gave them three tries and they struck out.

For years, I was always "that guy" who gets his hair cut by friends, and never pays for cuts.
That attitude is what led me to get my hair cut by Erica (for free) while she was in hair school, and now I'm hooked. I'm back to paying for hair cuts, and I don't mind one bit. Erica is great.

I have been going to Axis on Georgia since September 2009. Andrew is an awesome hair dresser. Very friendly and really seems to "get" what I like for my hair. He makes the experience seem more like hanging out with a friend then getting your hair cut :)

I have been there multipile times for convenience that it was the neighborhood.
However, their service has gotten really bad over time.
Las time I was there they charged me $400 to match my roots highlight color.
I iwsh I could remember her name but the manager was soooo rude to me and the guy that did my hair ruined my hair color and left me helpless.

Avoid this horrible place at all costs.

A great option if you want a chemical cut by an experienced stylist!!

I went for highlights and was put under the drier (I learned after, unecessary with my fine hair) until my head was unbelievably hot. I left with hair that was broken off in all sorts of places and I'm still trying to grow my mullet out 6 months later.

I have hair that never does what I want. Sometimes it is curty, sometimes it goes straight, but most of the time it can't make up its mind between the two and drives me insane.

Axis has the best salons in Vancouver, and their West Georgia location is particularly great. I rarely give anything a 5-star rating but Axis really earned it today.

The stylist I saw was absolutely lovely and... more

I've been to Axis many years ago, but was lured back by a friend who recommended a stylist by the name of Andrew. I heard he does "amazing colour". And Andrew delivered, he was great!

I've been going to Axis for about a year after moving to the country. A few people I met here told me that they were about the best in town and I've stuck with them. I've now decided that their pricing is waaay to high for a man's haircut, and that they're not the creative powerhouse that people seem to think they are. I don't want wacky, I just want the occasional suggestion. The service is... more

Did the typical male move of landing in Vancouver and needing an instant haircut. I was flying in from out of town and it was sunday. The concierge at Sutton Place recommended them and got me an appt quickly. I was very happy with my cut and the quality of the place. Seemed like mostly guys getting cuts there.

I tried out Axis because my usual stylist was a little to busy. I ended up with someone by the name of Courtenay. I'm not really the type of guy that has pre conceived notions of what my hair should look like. I told her to cut in a way that she personally thought looked good. She gave some suggestions and told me how my hair would most likely grow. And so far she's been accurate. Her cut was a... more

All three salons are pretty stylish and well put together. Everyone is always nice and helpful and the music isn't horrendous.
