I switched over here because my hair dresser moved locations.
Same great place but a huge bonus is free parking which I enjoy since I got tickets everytime I was parked at the other location.

Was going to the Bridgeland location but was closer to the downtown location when I needed a cut - they were able to get me in and made me feel welcome. The stylist asked the right questions so that I got exactly what I wanted. One thing I was really happy with is that she listened when I said I don't like doing a bunch if talking while getting my haircut. She respected my request. My only... more

Pretty dissapointed with my first cut at Red Bloom that I had just the other day. I booked my appointment last minute the week leading up to Christmas as I wanted my hair to be nice and well styled for Christmas and a trip coming up over New Years. I
asked on the phone if there were any stylists available before my trip who are good with curly hair as mine had gotten long enough for a cut and I... more

I went to Red Bloom with high expectations, as I had read so many good reviews. I didn't mind paying more than usual for my hair specifically because it will be celebrating my upcoming birthday, and really wanted it to be just what I had in mind. I was greeted very warmly and the customer service was excellent. My hair dresser was very nice, but also extremely un-talkative which made for some... more

The first time I was unhappy was with the same stylist of the first time... She messed it up with my hair and my haircut after a couple weeks was horrible!! ...

I wanted to cut 9 inches off my hair. I'm new to Calgary, didn't know any stylists, so I was really nervous. I decided to go with an Advanced Stylist at RedBloom and they put me in with Rebecca for an appointment 3 days later.

Rebecca was super nice and attentive to everything I said. We thoroughly discussed what I wanted and she gave her suggestions. She didn't start on my hair until we had... more

I have been three times, and the salon itself is clean, and funky, the people very friendly, and the products high end, but considering the price of the services, I have decided to go elsewhere from now on. I believe that they have raised their prices as of this summer as well.

I read the fantastic ratings on Yelp but I did not have the good experience everyone else did. It could be because the stylist I was given was not on their website so she must have been quite new yet I was told she was one level below a senior stylist. charging $170. I was charged $210.

I was also charged $10 for toner.. Are you charged an extra fee for nail polish remover when you go to get... more

Mary a senior stylist did an amazing job for me! Its refreshing for someone to actually listen when I say I don't want a lot of length taken off, but do what needs to be done for health ends. She also did a great job on my layers! She is moving to the new Aspen location but is well worth the commute!

I've been going to RedBloom in Bridgeland for about a year now. Until then I had always had trouble finding someone that could deal with my super straight, fine hair. I must admit I was a bit nervous to try them and didn't know what to expect when I first entered the salon and was given a robe to put on. But the experience has always been great! They give you a robe, offer you a drink, give a... more

Had my hair massacred here in the fall. I had long waist-length hair that I wanted trimmed up and refreshed.

I asked for the following:

- no layers
- no bangs
- ability to braid after cut
- cut jagged across bottom (not flat)
- I don't style/blowdry so it needs to dry nicely naturally

I got:

- 5 different MAJOR layers
- hair that wouldn't even fit in a ponytail
- could not braid
- flat... more

I chose a senior stylist because I wanted to be sure that I would get a 'good cut'. I was super surprised at the low quality of my cut. I was not happy when the stylist could not style my bangs - at all. I had to leave the salon with my bangs sticking straight out from my forehead! As I was paying, there was another client who was leaving with 'party-ready' (It was the Christmas party season)... more

I am extremely happy with my experience with Katerina. I went to get highlights and a cut and I liked it. What really impressed me was that two days after my first appointment, I noticed that my layers weren't as short or angled as I would like - I'm not the most articulate person and I don't think I was clear as I what I wanted during my first visit. So, the next day, I called and asked if she... more

I was recently a bridesmaid in a wedding party, and the Bridal Party went here the morning of the wedding to have our hair done. They had a person for each of us, which was great because none of us had to wait, and we were all finished at almost the same time.

Review #7 of Yelp's 30 Day Challenge 2012

When I moved to Calgary a few months ago, one of my biggest worries is finding a stylist that will understand the issues I have with my hair. It also didn't help that I've had really good stylists in Minnesota and Manila so I've set my bar high for my search here.

After growing out my hair for 7 months or so it was getting quite long and I decided it was time for a change. I am new to the Calgary area so what is the best way to get suggestions for hair salons? Yelp of course!

I'm new to the city and I was looking for a good salon to get a haircut. So I did what anyone else would do and went to Yelp for help.

The atmosphere is pretty cool and the pricing is affordable since you have 5 levels of talent to choose from; student to master. They also give you $10 off your first visit so I had to try it out.

What I was a little disappointed with was the quality of cut.... more

It has been quite a long time since I have had a haircut, so I had done some research looking for a great salon for a new experience and I found this one. Great reviews and happy clients, so I thought why not?

The atmosphere was nice and the staff were very welcoming, when it came down to the cut, I was very unimpressed. The stylist said he would be taking off 3 inches (it was more like 5), he... more

So after many months of growing out my hair (again), I decided to treat myself to a salon experience in getting a real haircut. At one point I was going to Angles, however my hairdresser could not deliver in giving me the desired style. In the end I went back to cutting my own hair since I had to fix it anyways if I got it done at Angles. After a vicious search on yelp and other review... more

I had been going to Jeromes for the last couple of years, but after hearing so many good things, i thought i would give Red Bloom a try.

I was not at all disappointed! I was greeted warmly, and treated kindly by all the staff (which i can't say is consistent with my patronage at Jerome's).
My stylist had a thorough conversation about what I was looking to achieve and still kept me in check... more

As a kid I was severely traumatized by my cousin getting a brush caught in my hair and than chopping it off, but not after putting Vaseline, butter and shampoo in my hair to "attempt loosening the brush- with a failed attempt".

Since then I avoid Hair salons until my ends are fried, and all I can do it place my hair in a ponytail (we've all been there). Any who I was sceptical about letting a... more

Right from the start at reception they were professional and friendly. It is a lovely salon without being stuck up and pretentious. It was clean and well maintained compared to many I've been to around 17th ave.

They do all the usual stuff of a higher end salon PLUS nice added touches like hand massages. My... more

The "wonderful" June in Calgary weather was not helping the fact that my life seemed to be turning into one cesspool of miserable moments.

Finding a new stylist, or leaving your current stylist, as you know is a very complicated process. It's like breaking up with someone, without all the drunk texting.
I enjoyed my previous stylist for the fundamentals but decided to buy a Groupon for Red Bloom based on my brother's experiences with it. There is plenty of parking around the Bridgeland shopping area, so you'll have no trouble... more

I'd been at my old salon for about five years, and for the past two I'd been feeling dissatisfied. I felt that my stylist had no vision for my hair's future- she couldn't envision how the cut and colour would look a few weeks down the road AND she didn't seem to have a plan for maintaining the look at future visits. I tried my best to vocalize my concerns, but I also hoped that my hairstylist-... more

After having shopping around for a steady stylist (which included stylists at Eveline Charles, Hennessey and Edges), I trusted one for 3 years at Edges (Crowfoot location).
