I went in for a haircut yesterday and I have to say, one of my best cuts ever! Not only great service, but such friendly ladies who work there.
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Tricia!! She is amazing, her personality is so fun; I laughed so much and didn't even realize an hr had gone by!
The atmosphere is fun, everybody is happy to be there, and make you feel at home. Thanks Tricia!

Best salon in Richmond! They listened to what I wanted, and then paired me with a great stylist experienced with cutting hair similar to mine. Highly recommended!

Heather is absolutely wonderful! She has such a great eye for colour and pays such close attention to detail to do the perfect balayage. Everyone at the studio is friendly and kind and the prices are incredibly reasonable for the amazing work! Would highly recommend!

Grace and Yumi - Both my sons had their first hair cuts here (30+ years ago), Yumi worked miracles for my wedding day - short hair "Up-Do"! Moved away for 15 years and struggled to find a decent cut for thick curly hair, was so happy to move back and have reliable, awesome, experienced stylists. Thank you ladies!!!

Stephanie is a super star and when you find your stylist, you go to her each and every time. She has an eye for style, shares wonderful stories, enjoys getting to know you, can tweak the design to suit your face shape and desired cut. She has incredible talent. Mix that with superb service, you have yourself a winner! A salon for both men and women, you can certainly find your fit. Worth the pretty penny as the cuts grow well over time.

I have nothing but good things to say about the women who work here! They are really close and know their clients really well. They have a lot of recurring clients and sometimes you have to book months ahead.

You will receive complimentary shampoo + conditioner and head massage before your haircut and they offer complimentary coffee/tea/hot chocolate while you get your hair done.
You could also pop in for a bang trim as they are free of charge.

The ladies here are super friendly and knowledgeable. They also carry products for men and women.

I suggest to book an appointment for a reserved spot

I had such a horrible experience and I will NEVER step foot into this place again!
My sister and I use to come to this place for years, but had to stop due to the unwelcoming and snobby attitude. When I came in, Trisha refused to do my hair, while Shannon was stuck up I came in for toner and a blow dry, and this cost me $105! That is unbelievable, because i know at the beauty supply store they cost around $8, and other toners that I have had there before were $10-12.
I felt so uncomfortable, I left as soon as I could. Upon closer inspection I realized my hair GREEN AND GOLD. I was absolutely

When my friend can't cut my hair I go to Grace to cut/color my hair and she does a top notch job! I would highly recommend her or Yumi to anyone.

Very disappointed. I hate my hair cut. Hate it. It might be an ok haircut for someone else. But it's not what I asked for and talked about prior to getting it cut. Coming in with long hair and I was already… asking for a lot off and she ended up cutting it way shorter. Can't fix that. If I come in with a picture of the look I am going for, and point on my body of where I want it to fall, there should be no miscommunication.

Tricia is just the best stylist I've ever had! I always come away with beautiful hair and a smile on my face. All the girls are fabulous and make me feel welcome, like an old friend. I tell all my friends to come here! I can't say enough good things about Tricia and Design Tech.
