Hair Sculpture and Spa

Business just stopped taking groupons without any further notice leaving people hanging. In addition, they never answer phones and don’t call you back when you leave a message.
AVOID!!! There are better places in the city

Customer service means nothing to them. Left a message to make an appointment, THEY CALLED ME TO CONFIRM day and time. On the day of, braved city traffic and parking and showed up just for them to tell me the stylist called in sick.
They had my number to make the appointment, but not to cancel. «We didn’t have a number to call you at». Bogus!
I insisted on them making room for me, but eventually left for fear of a botched job.

Pro: polite, friendly and accommodating staff
Con: shellac manicure didn’t even last a day. Nails weren’t shaped well, kind of slanted. Too pricey for what I got.
Would never recommend. You’re better off going somewhere else.

If anything and everything could go wrong, this was the place. Thinking the location was just off Rosedale, figured the place would be decent. WRONG! Like many others, used a GROUPON which wasn’t even that cheap at $ 49 for a wash, cut, deep conditioning, and roots (since rivaling salons on Groupon were offering even cheaper). Well, they might as well have offered me the moon since technically i didn’t get any of what I asked for. First off, what they consider a conditioning treatment is just regular conditioner. My head was still in the sink while she (Haber) wrapped my head in a towel. From other salons I’ve been to, a deep conditioning requires the heat lamp thingie. Theres more. The stylist (her name was Haber or Haver) does NOT know a thing about cutting hair. She literally chomped off my long hair in a straight line. There was no texturizing or layers. I asked about it. And she confidently said to me, I’ve given you layers. (bangs does not count as a layer). I asked for a trim of about 2 inches. She cut off 4 inches. As it turns out, she didn’t know her measurements. Her idea of an inch was double that. This place also lacks integrity. Her price for cutting long hair went from $ 10 (her initial quote) to $ 25 to $ 20. She was also handling 6 other people, and kept me there longer than i needed to be, considering she literally only spent 8 minutes cutting my hair. The rest of the time I was waiting (which didn’t even come out even. One side was longer than the other).
The bottom line for this place was $$$$. It was all about churning out as many customers as they could. A happy customer was the least of their concern. DO NOT GO HERE. I now have to find another place to fix my hair.

I didn’t trust all the other bad reviews 100% and decided to give this place a chance. BAD MISTAKE! Called ahead and told them I had a groupon and told me they were available later in the day. Got there and it turned out that the colourist was not available, just the girl doing the hair cutting (who looked very inexperienced and meek). The big cheese who told me and the rest of the staff that she’s too busy (once I got there and paid $ 10 in parking alone) was VERY RUDE, borderline nasty. When I she started giving the receptionist a hard time and looked at me as I was some bum, I realized I should get outta there before anyone touches my hair. Mentioned that I was hoping the bad reviews were just accidents, and guess what she told me?
[Verbatim]:
******Ha. you read the reviews? Then why did you come here?***
She had a point I guess. LOL.
Asked her name and she didn’t even bother to turn around and tell me her name.
She’s short, with dark and pink hair. Stay away.
They could pay me to go back and I would probably take the other side of the street. Beside the customer service skills, none of them looked like knew what they were doing (was hoping for a pretty current hair cut and style and now I’m 100% sure it would have been a disaster — so I’m glad I ran away fast!
Oh, did I mention the place was a notch better than a TTC washroom? Save your money, and pay for a decent place. Not worth ANY deal!

Do not waste your time here. I purchased a groupon deal for 49 $ for a haircut and ombré. You have to pay extra for toner and longer hair. So the stylist told me i would have to pay an additional 80 $. She said its 20 $ extra for long hair. I didnt get to do any color because she said she would cut my hair then ask me again if i wanted to get the ombré done. But after my haircut, she left me to cut a mans hair and dye another womans hair. In the meantime, i had my hair washed. I had never dyed my hair before so i did not know that you are suppose to get colour done before a wash. When the stylist finally Returned to me, she did not complete my haircut. I had to remind her that i had asked for bangs. Overall the servicce was horrible. The haircut was expensive. Parking in rosedale is expensive. And my bangs loook horrible! You dont save any money going to this salon. Its not worth it.

I have been to this place twice, once about two year ago and another time a few weeks ago. Both times I was very happy with the quality of the hair dresser’s work. The first time a very friendly Scandinavian young lady did my hair that the second time a darker young lady (unfortunately I do not remember their names). Both did very good jobs on my hair. Both of them gave me fantastic consult about the style that might suit me and they were correct. The second time the hair dresser, from the very beginning started advertising their hair products that made me doubting her opinion about the quality of my hair and the damage it had and how their products might help me revise my hair. At the end, although I was really doubtful I bought the hair mask and the treatment that she had suggested me buy; both quite expensive. However, after a few times of trying them I saw the real difference that the hair dresser was talking about from the beginning. I am really happy that I listened to her and I shared my experience with a few of my friends too. All in all, I am very happy with these people, I recommend to a friend, and I will definitely go there again.
P. S. Their eyebrow threading is also a very nice service.
P. P. S. They made the appointment to me very fast and easily.

Please never ever ever ever ever ever go here. I have/​had very long silky smooth hair. I’ve always received compliments on how healthy and shiny my hair looked.
Like the many other poor souls that have left reviews before me, I purchased a groupon for this crappy salon. I had been contemplating and building up my courage to get ombré done for a very long time. Finally, I took the leap.
When i finally got started, the «stylist» back combed my hair for an hour and then applied bleach to the ends. Like everyone else, I was told I had to pay extra for the additional foils, which I thought was ridiculous but she told me after the hour of back combing. I agreed to the additional foils. During the bleaching, she put bleach on my bangs and near the top of my head. I thought she had wiped it, but apparently not.
To make a long story short, my hair came out a hideous orangey brassy colour even after the toner (which I again had to pay extra for). When I looked in the mirror, I was HORRIFIED. The top half of my hair was my original colour and the bottom half was orange. There were also splotches of orange near my bangs and near the top of my head. Clearly she didn’t wipe off the bleach that got on there by accident. I then went up to the bathroom and began to hysterically cry. My husband came upstairs and tried to calm me down. I called over another stylist and showed her the state of my hair. She and the owner grace offered to fix it for me free of charge as if they were doing me some sort of favour. This entire process took 6 hours and the salon had closed by the time I was finished. The owner informed me that I would have to wait three days for the next appointment. I went to work for three days looking like Halloween.
Five months later, my hair is FALLING OUT like crazy. The bleach has made the ends of my hair so dry that it is constantly getting tangled. I’ve bleached my hair before and have never ever had this issue. My pony tail is now half the size that it was before getting my hair done at this horrendous salon. I’m so upset I just never want anyone else to experience the crap that I’ve experienced here.
Please think twice before going here!!!

Like many others, I went to the salon using a groupon.
The stylist was friendly, but I was unhappy with the results.
To put some context behind why, I have been trying to grow my hair out from a short cut for a long time now, and it WAS finally a few inches past my shoulders. The dresser cut my hair far shorter than I was prepared to go and I once again have a short hairstyle, despite the photo I showed her and me expressing I did not want it short again. Its a nice cut if short had been what I wanted.
I wanted balayage tipping/​ombré, which she told me I couldn’t do, and that I needed to pay for an additional 10 foils if I wanted an ombré effect.
So to emphasize, you DO NOT get ombré with this groupon. You ONLY get 10 foils. Another girl came in shortly after me and ended up walking out after the stylist told her the additional costs associated with just a cut and refreshing of her ombré was almost triple the price of the groupon, which is absurd. Also, the groupon ONLY includes the bleach/​lightening aspect of the foils — if you want any colour or toning it costs you extra. And you get charged extra for regardless of what you want if your hair is mid back.
Moral of the story, I paid for extra foils which you cannot even see in my hair, and I now have a short haircut which I did not want. And the hot oil treatment wasn’t even left in for 5 mins.
So I left with nearly an 80 $ bill on top of the 49 $ I had already spent. I didn’t save myself anything with this groupon and I wasn’t thrilled with the results.

I had a Groupon for this salon and booked an appointment for cut/​colour for the day before my sisters wedding, which in retrospect… why would I trust a salon that relies on Groupon for such an important day. After pouring over the books for the right colour the stylist and I picked a chocolate brown with red tones. It turned orange. Light orange. I insisted this was not what I asked for and wasn’t given much more than an oh well. My hair needs length so it doesn’t frizz and poof out and the so called «stylist» cut bangs that weren’t requested, after I had spent years growing them out. I now walk around with hair that spazzes out to the side instead of the cascading curls I am used to. I’ve gotten really into hats since this hack job. I am beyond disappointed with the job they did on my hair, and also the way it was handled, which was downright rude. I tried to go back and show them the colour didnt change after a wash as they insisted it would. What a dissapointment. I tried to be really nice about it, still tipped and listened to the advice of the «stylist» but in the end just felt ripped off. I am ashamed I actually paid to look crappier then before. I can only imagine they must be used to people walking out miserable. I wouldn’t go here again unless I started hating myself. If you appreciate your hair, or good service, beware this Butcher shop.

I purchased a groupon for this salon and paid about $ 49. This included partial highlights and a haircut. When I went to the salon, I was told that the partial highlights only included hair color and NO toner. This meant that after colouring the hair would like it were bleached and would be an unfinished job. I was told that I had to pay an additional $ 35 for the toner. So here I just paid $ 49 and now an additional $ 35 just to get a basic job done. I felt cheated and felt like the salon scammed me into spending more money. I was not willing to walk out of there with my hair half done if you used a groupon deal, then you were indirectly threatened to spend more or it would like a bad job done. Because I desperately needed a haircut and some color, I paid more and ended up with a bill of $ 120 in addition to the $ 49. I don’t plan on ever visiting this place again. While the girl did an okay job, I felt scammed into paying so much more money than I expected.

Purchased a groupon for $ 49 for hair cut, wash/​blow dry, treatment and 12 highlights. I had a very nice lady name Tiong (Petite, black hair, very sweet!)
Pros:
Firstly, I just want to say upfront that the stylist I had was better than average — nothing to go too wow over, but definitely good given the fact that it was a Groupon booking (i.e. some salons tend to give you the most junior stylist. My stylist had 15 years experience, knew what she was doing, and so I was happy with that)
I had to rebook because of a TTC issue, and they were fine with that (My Groupon wasn’t considered «used» or expired, so props to them for allowing me to reschedule without any hassles). I arrived slightly early and they were able to get me started right away with Tiong. She was definitely the busiest stylist that day and up to a point, had 3 clients (including myself) to work on. Tiong was very professional, and listened to what I wanted. She provided some helpful recommendations, and was never too pushy (although she did persuade me to spend an additional $ 25 for highlights on the side of the head).
Location is great — close to 2 major TTC stations. I’d reocmmend getting off at Rosedale as it is a closer walk.
Cons:
The low rating really goes to the lack of cleanliness in the facility and wait times. At some point, I waited extra 10 minutes for my stylist to get back to me because she had so many clients to work on. At some point, there were 6 clients, 1 waiting client, and only 4 stylists working. I also noticed a lot of waiting for the other clients as well. What should have been a 2 hour appointment, ended in 3.5 hours.
The facility wasn’t as clean or salon-​like as I would have expected — it felt cramped and small. There were garbage (paper cups, crumpled paper, etc) around my area. The garbage bin was overflowing and it didn’t look like it had been taken out for 2 days. I wasn’t offered any magazines or drinks either.

I had a groupon for root color or highlites, shampoo, treatment and cut. The stylist I had was very unfriendly (she was from Ireland and I wasn’t given her name) and I felt that it was because I was a groupon customer. She talked me into getting the root color and said I would still have my blond streaks showing. I did not — the color was way too dark — then she said it would be $ 10.00 extra to color the back. I did not get the treatment, the cut was mediocre and she burned my neck with the blowdryer. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Now I have to go to another salon to get my hair fixed. I normally tip, even when using a groupon but I didn;t in this case because of the bad service and hair color.

Worst hair experience ever. First, I called and they offered an appointment a month in advance. Really??? Called back fearlessly and asked to have the next cancellation-​got it right away by some strange luck. I thought that I might actually get the service that I had wanted — haircut and ombré. Technician consulted and offered to colour the hair for $ 40 over and above to get rid of the existing discolouration but did not provide the ombré that I had paid for in the Groupon. Went back a bit later for that service, and they wouldn’t acknowledge me — made me wait 45 minutes (nasty) only to tell me that they wouldn’t complete the ombré colour. Wasted 3 hours of my life. Beware those who hold Groupons.

I had a groupon ($ 49) for a haircut and colour choice of roots, highlights, or ombré…went with the ombré. First, I ended up waiting 30min even though I was on time. Then the girl says its extra for hair past the shoulders. The fine print clearly states extra for longer than midback, which to me means to the bra line, which I the length I have. So I was basically forced to either pay ‘around $ 20′ extra or cut it shorter since they were basically quibbling over an extra inch or so. So ended up getting 4+ inches off instead of the intended 1.5 inches… so lame. Then they said the extra toner would be $ 20 but ended up being $ 25. And the special conditioning treatment is just a supposed fancy conditioner in place of regular conditioner. And they wouldn’t show me it or tell me an actual brand name of it.
The only reason the even get any stars is because the stylist did a great job actually, didn’t catch her name but she said she was from Ireland. She was very nice about it despite having the chinciest boss on the planet.
Maybe if a place like this is trying to drum up some business using tools like Groupon they should also consider not being totally cheap and having no string attached, tht might help.

This is a nice place. Highly recommend a haircut with Eva.

I purchased a groupon that entitled me to a hair cut, wash/​blow dry, and 12 highlights for $ 49. I called to make an appointment and the only time slot they had for after work hours or weekends was 430pm that was two weeks away.
I arrived and was greeted by my hairstylist. Her name was stella from finland. I was told that I would be charged an extra $ 10 – 15 for long hair which is what was in the small print on the groupon website. I also inquired whether i could get two different shades of highlights. She said yes but they would charge me $ 30 for the two colors and long hair. So it was still 12 foils in total. We discussed the shades that I wanted and the length of hair cut/​style I was looking for.
So the hairstylist proceeded to put the highlights in my hair with foil alternating between the two shades of highlights. I was given magazines while I waited for the color to set. After the color had a chance to set in, I proceeded to get the chemicals rinsed out by the shampoo girl. They put a toner into my hair and rinsed it out.
Afterwards, I received a hair cut. She asked if I wanted layers and I said no. She proceeded to give me a blunt cut. I thought there would be some shaping of the ends as I had received from other hairdressers but alas no. As for the bangs, i got them cut but also no shaping for the ends.
Overall, my hair looks good. The highlights were well done — thin and natural looking as I specifically asked for with the two alternating shades. The disappointment was the hair cut — it was a very basic cut. I can’t complain given that in total the highlights, cut, and shampoo cost $ 79 — what you would normally pay for a set of highlights only, however I did have introductory groupons for other salons where I paid $ 30 for the same thing and received better highlights and hair cuts (Capelli at Bayview village).
The service was good and the people were friendly. However the ambiance lacked the feel of a high end salon. The furniture was dated, the wash stations made strange water gurgling noises, and the lighting had the feel of bright fluerescent lighting in your face.
I’ve had hairdressers in the past spend more time on my hair cut and with more enthusiasm. I inquired about their other spa services and was immediately encouraged to book an appointment. The shampoo girl said I can book it and cancel if I couldn’t make it. The whole experience felt very transactional and the look/​feel of the place didn’t help the situation.
There was no ambiance but the hairstylist is competent and the results were ok — my hair looks decent. I’ve just had better hair cuts in the past where there was more attention to detail, regardless of the price i had paid.

I went to Sculptures Salon & Spa for the spa part as I had a Teambuy coupon. The coupon was for a 30 minute massage, 30 minute manicure and 60 minute facial.
My first impression was unfortunate. The spa is quite cluttered and crowded and … dirty. The room they use for spa services is so tiny, the esthetician can barely fit beside the table. And it had an old shower stall in it stuffed with supplies and old Christmas decorations.
Plus, the room was freezing and there was no heated blanket or anything to keep me warm. I spent the whole time shivering. The esthetician kept asking me if I was cold and I’d say yes, but she didn’t so anything about it.
The massage was a waste of my time. The esthetician wasn’t properly trained in real massage therapy and it was pretty much equivalent to having someone rub sunscreen on my back — for 30 minutes!
The facial was okay. There were steps in the facial that I hadn’t had before in other facials — not sure if that’s good or bad! And she never explained what she was doing, or what step she was at. She also didn’t do any extractions. And she included my eyes in all the steps. I was a little concerned at first thinking something would irritate my eyes or the sensitive skin around them, but thankfully that didn’t happen. Afterwards my face really did feel nice.
The manicure was okay, but the room where they do the manicures and pedicures is in serious need for an overhaul. Everything is dirty and well used. The white towels had stains on them and there were splattered all over the walls.
Overall I wasn’t too impressed with the salon/​spa and won’t go back. The esthetician was nice, but had such a strong accent I had trouble understanding her at times. Groupon and Teambuy coupons are really hit and miss sometimes!

I wasn’t sure I had arrived at the right place because it just said «sculpture and spa,» but when I walked in, it was bright and the people were cheery, so I knew I was in the right place.
Service was great, and the woman who did my eyebrows (I already forget her name… I think it was something along the lines of Shelly?) was friendly and professional.
It’s about mid-​range in terms of price — 12 + tax for eyebrow threading only, but the one thing I’ve noticed about many of the cheaper places is that a lot of them will just clean up around the existing shape of your eyebrows, but won’t do anything for the shape.
She was great because my eyebrows had grown quite out of shape, but she still managed to thread them into submission.
A half point off for not checking and adjusting her work after and a few stray hairs I found when I got home, but I can’t complain, because it still looks good!

I have two co-​workers that have perfect eyebrows. Enviable eyebrows really. Finally I demanded their secret, and not surprisingly they had the same answer. They both visit this unassuming small salon on Yonge for threading. (It is close to the office) I went on lunch break and I am thrilled.
Besides the fact that my brows look clean and shapely, the price is unreal. The last two times I had threading it was in the $ 30 range, this place charges $ 12. I also got an appointment the same day, and it took only a couple of minutes.
5 Stars more or less because of the price. Very happy with this find.
