I have been going to CRR for 2 years now, and I can't imagine myself going anywhere else ever again. Donna knows how hair works! I have a lot of trouble with my cowlicky, fluffy fine hair and she tames it sooooo well. Watching her work is amazing, she's got a lot of technique and finesse and I always leave happy for 2 reasons. Reason 1: Hair looks amazing. Reason 2: Donna is cool as hell and I love hanging with her while she works on my hair - she also likes great music which is an added bonus ontop of all the other bonuses . Thanks Donna!!

I just spend a gorgeous afternoon with the best salon in centre town Ottawa. Michelle has been cutting my hair and styling it for almost 2 years. She has an amazing talent and a bubbly personality. She is customer oriented and I always leave with exactly the style I want. She has taken my fine limp hair to a stylist head of hair with bounce.
From the time you walk into the salon you are treated with the full service with a fresh brewed coffee and biscotti. The salon has a beautiful antique charm with a touch of glam. Owner Donna is a charming classy lady that makes every client feel like a special

I recently tried this salon on a whim and had my hair done by Michelle. I really appreciated the time that she took with the consultation and cut. Also, she was kind enough to give me some pretty great pointers on how to style my hair which will go far in making me look less like a crazy person!
I liked the overall vibe in the place and Michelle was really nice and upbeat. I say give this place a try! I will definitely be returning!
As an extra selling point my husband actually noticed I got my hair cut (which NEVER happens) and he loved it! Plus the products she used passed his smell and touch

I’ve been spending every 6th Saturday afternoon of my life at The Cool Red Room since they opened. I am always treated incredibally special and I receive compliments about my hair everywhere I go! 🙎🏻♀️No matter how lousy I feel when I arrive, I always leave feeling beautiful and happy! This is more than a Cool Red Room Hair Space...it’s a Warm and Positive Space😌

I've been a very satisfied client here since their opening 5 years ago. I hopped from stylist to stylist for years until I came to the cool red room. I will never go anywhere else now. Donna has a gift. On occasion I have said I want to try things like go blonde (I'm brunette) or bangs (my hair is naturally curly). Donna always listens carefully and tells me honestly if she thinks what I want will work or not. I respect her expertise and trust her instincts totally. It's also very impressive that she brings her team to NY and Chicago regularly to ensure they all continue their education and bring

The Cool Red Room is one of the best salons I have visited. If you like a smaller salon, with a great vibe and professional staff - this place is for you. I have been a client of Donna Nash's since before she opened her salon and have always found the level of service I receive to exceed expectations. My hair is quite fine and I always had trouble with it, but Donna has always taken the time to explain how she is cutting my hair to suit what I have so the style I am looking for can be achieved. I am never disappointed. I am also a huge fan of Petula who colours my hair regularly - her knowledge

I would recommend this salon to anyone!. Petula the colourist has been doing my hair colour for just over 10 years, i always go in fully trusting her and leave fully satisfied. I've also recently started getting my hair cut there and am always happy with the result. My mother has been getting her hair cut by Donna and hair coloured by Petula for years and just like me always leaves fully satisfied. Great atmosphere, good people, and great results you can count on!!

Donna is a phenomenal hair cutter: she understands what your hair can do and is so skilled technically that if you can't get back into the salon for months, your haircut stays perfect; she listens to her clients; she has vision and provides great advice. And finally, Petula and the rest of the team Donna has brought to the Cool Red Room are excellent. I've referred dozens of friends to the Cool Red Room and they've all stayed with Donna for years. The best place in Ottawa in my humble opinion .

The Cool Red Room is by far the best hair salon in Ottawa. I have known Donna for 30 years and was really happy she opened her own salon. She has a solid foundation in hair, colour and products. She and Petula work really hard to ensure they are providing excellent services to all of their customers. I highly recommend this salon. If you are looking for a cutter that has a passion and the technical skills to cut hair, this is the place to go!

I would not recommend Donna, she does what she wants and doesn't listen to clients or even ask questions. I was not happy with what Donna did to my hairstyle. I had a stylist in New York do a beautiful job on my hair. I went to Cool Red Room 2 weeks after my haircut and asked for a consultation with Donna to see if she could maintain it for me. She said yes, so I booked an appointment for a trim after my haircut (5 weeks later). Donna was 30 minutes behind schedule, I guess I should have left or rebooked, because then she did not ask me any questions, just kept talking about my hair color? Donna

Fantastic service, knowledgeable staff, great haircut! I was extremely pleased with the way my hair turned out and the salon was very accommodating to all my needs. Rickie Lee was my hairstylist, and she was really in tune to my likes and dislikes. She listened to what I wanted from this cut, but was able to give her expertise and adjust it to make it suit my hair type and face shape and I walked out feeling like a million dollars. Donna and her team are exceptional at what they do, and I highly recommend!

The Cool Red Room is hands-down the best hair salon I've ever had the pleasure of going to. I first met Donna a few years back after being recommended to go see her. She gave me a chic, modern bob that people would stop me in the street and complement me on. It was such a wonderful experience that I've never been to another Ottawa salon since. I… went to see her several times before I moved away from Ottawa and was always extremely happy with the cut. When I came back to Ottawa I decided to have highlights done. I went back to The Cool Red Room (of course!) and got blonde balayage highlights

Thank you Ricki Lee for a great haircut. If you have long thick wavy hair give R.L. a try. She takes pride in her work, listens to you, doesn't rush, and the results are great. I still have my length but without the weight of my heavy hair. She did a great job layering it without making it go frizzy.

I just had my first experience at thecoolredroom and it was excellent. Donna is a very knowledgable, well-rounded hairdresser. When I was describing the way I like my hair cut, she was finishing my sentences, which to me is always a great sign. She planned my cut around my texture and lifestyle - also a great quality. She put me at ease and I just let her do her thing. I felt like I was in good hands from start to finish. This place is a great little gem tucked away on Kent that's very worthwhile. I would like to do a colour there in the future. Complimentary bang trim between cuts was

I just had my first visit to The Cool Red Room Salon and am very happy with the outcome. It's always a bit scary to go to a new salon, but Kathy put me right at ease. She listened to what I wanted, provided insight into what would work best and provided high standard customer service. I enjoyed my experience, and will go again.
The salon itself was busy (during lunch hour), but the staff kept things clean, organized and efficient.
I kept my eye on the other customers and their hair cut results- they all seemed pleased. I would recommend this salon, for sure.
