A cautionary tale
A cautionary tale to all women of Calgary!
I recently went to green apple and had a horrible experience that I would like all women to be aware of. I went to the salon to get a routine black colour and walked out in tears with a small feline sized dread lock in the back of my head.
The "stylist" (I use that term loosely as I later found out they do not all have to be licensed to work at this establishment, manager inclu) attempted to colour and wash my hair. Mid-wash she began speaking to the other "stylist" in an alarming tone in a language that was not english. Slightly alarmed i tried to feel my hair only to have my arm swatted away.
I thought nothing of it an tried to remain calm. After all, it was a long day and it was a routine colour and wash... I thought I was safe. However, after two solid hours of attempted brushing I noticed that my entire scalp had transformed into an enormous knotted mess. I continued to let the "stylist" proceed through a few more pants and puffs but soon realized my options were limited.
My bf showed up to pick me up and noticed the disaster immediately. I mentioned my concern on various occassions yet the "stylist" pressed on with her spray bottle and brush of doom.
I finally came to my senses and spoke up. It was then she mentioned cutting the hair and replacing MY hair with her $5 extensions. Panicked, I decided it was time to leave. The "stylist/placeholder manager" tried to make me pay for my colour before exiting.
Long story short, my hair/the dreadlocks were chopped and the back of my head is now a spiked bob.
After revealing my new do to the manager demanding she pay for the damages she continue to hold her ground and ask I pay for the colour and GI Jane haircut she forced me to get.
I caution all those who are craving a budget. Green Apple will destroy your hair and have no shame doing it.
Pay the extra $20 and save your locks.

Haircut
Had a haircut and it was a last minute appointment - they got me in.
Xylia, love the name, cut my hair and she did a great job! Plus, she didn't mind having a chat while she cut.

I have gone to this salon a couple times and I've always had great results.This time when I went they had a new apprentice, Minh (pronounced "ming"), working. It was his first day! He was very sweet and quiet, you could tell he was a bit nervous.He washed my hair and gave me a scalp massage, it was wonderful!He took his time cutting and styling my hair and was very detailed with getting it... more

I love this salon!
December 09, 2010Robin is an amazing stylist (especially for those of you with curly hair). It's also very reasonable considering they shampoo and lightly style. Plus it is convenient for people downtown.

This is it. I have found my hair salon!
October 06, 2010I was looking for a change, and a new hair salon. I was pleasantly surprised by the Green Apple Hair Salon in TD Square downtown Calgary, which not only gave me a great service, and the price is so reasonable and affordable. I saw Ms. S. . . ., who I found out later is one of the owners, and my cut only cost $40 while my hair is so long (shoulder length). Her assistant gave me a wash then a... more

Very Unprofessional
February 24, 2010I went to get my hair styled to try it out because I read some reviews about this salon being good and some about it being bad. The salon is close to my work so I thought I would try it out. Unfortunately for me it was a miss. I just had my hair washed and blow dried straight. After a stylist washed my hair she left me lying with my head in the sink while she ate lunch. I sat up after 10min and... more

Best i have ever had
December 16, 2009I love this salon. I previously went to another popular salon and had mediocre results. I then stumbled upon Green apple by fluke and have not strayed since. My stylist is Tommy, Hes meticulous, listens and has great results every time. My only suggestion would be to not expect to be in and out quickly. Tommy is very detail oriented thus meaning he takes more time but i can rest assured that... more

Awful
November 19, 2009I went there to get my hair cut, and the owner/manager was the one who cut my hair. Just before I left, she styled my hair for me (not the way that I explained to her that I style my hair), and I figured "w/e, I'll style it myself when I get home". When I got home and went to style my hair, it was all uneven and waaaaaay too short in the back... and then she refused to give me a refund and... more
