This salon is a wonderful place! My hair stylist is Sharon McManus and she is fabulous. I have never had anything but amazing cuts and colors and styles and I have always had super visits. The salon is a cool place!

I've been here a couple of times and had great experiences every time.. I saw Coleen the first time and Brandon the second..

Neither of them have ever washed my hair because they were finishing up with other clients, but the people who've washed my hair didn't do a good job.. My hair is super thick and long (almost to my a@s).. They don't really get into the scalp and it's not really clean..... more

I finally decided to dye my hair again. I know. Not that adventurous for most women, apparently, but I have dark brown hair that looks black and most of the attempts at highlight/colour have made me feel like I'm living in a small town where the only hair stylist/colorist is legally blind.

I've had incredible luck using Yelp for a dramatic hair cut over the last year, so I thought I'd try it... more

I have been here twice and LOVE this place. I have been searching around for a good salon forever and have finally found this one. Both times my hair looked amazing. I got a different stylist each time but it didn't matter they both did a great job. The place is clean, well maintained. They are super professional and make you feel really comfortable. They offer you a got drink while your... more

I'm so bummed. I've been going to this salon for a few years now, and I've had my hair cut by Sheena all but one of those times when my hair was cut by the late, great John Steinberg himself.

Well, Sheena's gone - moved away. This was a bummer to discover, but I agreed to see another stylist.

We did not hit it off. She was nice enough, but when I described that I wanted a redux of the short... more

My hairdresser is Sandi and I've seen her twice. Unlike the another girls who work at the salon, she's not chatty and 'looks a bit unhappy' but she does a great job. I am paying for quality and that's what you get here. I paid $75 with tax and tip (20%) and I give her a big tip because she is detail oriented and gives amazing blow dries.

The guy who pics up the phone is super friendly and... more

Decided to come here for a trim and a gloss a couple of months ago, mostly because this salon is located close to home. I didn't want to spend too much so booked services with a junior stylist. The day of my appointment I received a phone call from the salon letting me know that due to a family emergency my stylist wouldn't be available. I was given 2 options: reschedule my appointment or I... more

I like Christophers work, he listens to me and does the color I want. Doesnt try different colors to surprise me.. He does a neat nice job in general.

The rates are reasonable
The place is clean
The staff is friendly & attentive
The haircuts are decent
Very difficult to get appointments

Saw Sherrai last night for a wash/cut/blow dry, AMAZING!
she was professional and let me chat her ear off without one sign of annoyance! what a gem :)

The salon is very laid back, nice reception and quick to take your coat/offer drink.
Didn't feel rushed in anyway.

one tip: ask for a towel under your neck when shampooing!

definitely going back

Now THIS is what a salon experience should be like!

Recently I was overcome with the desire to chop off half my (very long and unruly) head of hair. Unfortunately, my favourite hairdresser wasn't taking appointments until March! My compulsion to cut consumed me so much that I called John Steinberg & Associates (which is located conveniently close to my home) and asked for the next available... more

Quick review for my hair dresser Alicia! I love John Steinberg salon and not just because of it's convenient location. They are so friendly in there and it's always cozy and comfortable whether you're waiting or getting your hair did.
Alicia does a great job with both cut and colour and I have complete trust in her which is always nice.
If you're looking to switch up your hair salon - give them... more

This is by far the best salon experience I've had.
I went in for full highlights, taking my once almost-black hair to a dark blonde-ish.

I had 3 sets of highlights elsewhere, and moved salons because of location. But I am so happy with what I found... Kristopher was super honest about what was possible and what I could expect. And the result far exceeded my expectations - the brassiness I had... more

the service was amazing. everyone was very helpful. I had Christopher do my colour and Alicia do my cut. When I first left I wasn't very impressed with the colour because i couldn't tell much of a difference in the colour. I ended up getting lots of compliments and after styling it a few times my way I am very impressed.

I feel slightly guilty as I thought for sure I had reviewed this place a million moons ago. With that being said, I love John Steinberg Salon. I go see Sheena everytime and she is so dependable.

She is always there to greet me at the front door and always offers me coffee / tea etc. She gets me settled and has so much patience with me when I'm trying to figure out exactly what colour I want /... more

I love you analiese! She's amazing and a pro at cutting girl bangs which is something special. She'll even listen eagerly, while you talk about your dog. Just a super bonus for me!

Fantastic service and got a great blowout.

As soon as I arrived I was offered a cold drink which was a welcome treat on a hot day.

The staff were super friendly and very knowledgable. My blowout lasted through a hot humid, then rainy day.

I will definitely return in the future for a haircut.

I recently moved to King West and was in search of a new stylist. I came across a review in BlogTO that raved about JS+A, so I thought I'd give it a try.

Upon arrival, I was greeted, seated, and offered a drink within 30 seconds. All of their staff were very friendly, and the design/atmosphere inside is vintage/chic... with lots to look at =]

Each of their stylists has a different rating and... more

This is isn't reallllly an update of JSA. I'm still a big fan of this Salon, rather that Sam has gone to Parlour Salon..which is where I'll be going now. Review to follow ! :D

Yay! I'm a fan.

It's sort of expensive since I'm a dude (52+ tip).

I go for Anelise- she's so friendly and funny. So really, this review is for her, not the hair salon. I think she charges less than most of the stylists in there.

Last time I was there, Geddy Lee was next to me! Wow!
/jk, rush sucks.

SO if you go....get Anelise. And bring her a sandwich from Reggie's! Or Craft Burger. Yeah,... more

I've been going to this salon consistently for the past three years and have NEVER doubted by stylist. She treats me like a friend and the appointment is usually a conversation rather than me sitting nervously in my chair second guessing everything she's doing.
Message me and I'll let you in on who my stylist is. I don't want to put her name out there and then not be able to get appointments... more

Weee this is NOT a lawfirm. Thank god for that!

I changed, rechanged, rethought and cancelled my appointment a few times and finally one day decided today is the day! They were actually able to shuffle me between colorist and stylist and fit me in on a 3 hour notice. That alone is worth at least 3 stars.

My junior stylist, Sheena, not only coined the term "micro-trim" for me but also... more

(416) 506-0268 John is amazing. His is a really community figure in the neighbourhood. His shop is at the corner of King & Portland (one block east of Bathurst) Best stylist I have found in the 20 years I've lived here.

This is the only hair salon I have been to in Toronto and I like it so much I have never considered going anywhere else. I found Samantha at John Steinberg on a music message board when I first moved here and I love the salon and her approach to hair. The décor of the salon is nice and minimal with rotating art that means you always have something new to look at when visiting. Sometimes small... more

I can't claim to be the best with beauty maintenance - I get my haircut only a few times a year, but for me; there's no better salon in the city.

Compared to other high-end salons, the price is reasonable and the stylists are top-notch. Anyone can find the right style - no matter what your lifestyle, look, or background the team is professional and knowledgeable.

Plus, John Steinberg has... more

located at king and portland, easy going atmosphere, award winning salon, prices range from $40 to $90 for a cut. wide variety of clients, from hipsters, to entertainers, housewives, to executives, men and women, rockstars, to girls next door.

Sam tells it like it is. If you ask for a style and she knows it won't look great, she tells you. Hair honesty.
