Testimonials

I wanted to get a wavy perm and consulted them. They asked questions and understood my requirements. They guided me well and clarified on what to expect. I liked how they took time to hear and understand what I was looking for. The results were amazing! I did be visiting them again for further hair treatment

Firstly I would love to say that Elena and Lina are absolute angels! They are so funny, enthusiastic and brightened up my mood instantly. They really know the meaning of amazing customer service. I did my cut with Lina. She was incredibly gentle with my very tangled hair. We did a beautiful butterfly cut and she did a blowout afterwards. She was really amazing about checking to see what i’d like and she kept in mind that I wanted to keep my hair long. Now my hair feels so healthy with a lot of volume and bounce. These are the only women I can trust with my hair now! Thank you ladies!!

I am late to post my review. I got my balayage and cut done on 16th November by Lina. What an amazing person and stylist she is. She suggested me to get mushroom balayage and I went with it. I wanted my hair not to be too short and have curtain bangs. She did her magic in both. I was a bit skeptical as i could not see the mushroom balayage much on my brunette hair but she assured me that it will and Yes she was right. It looks so good now. So beautiful. 💜 I am so happy that i chose Fiagro and had Lina as my hair stylist. Will go again. Shout-out to you Lina. 💜 God bless.

Figaro is simply the best! I connected with Lina in 2019 and never go anywhere else to get my hair done. I usually opt for simpler services (wash, cut, style) but I still receive an elevated experience every time and am always thrilled with the results. Highly recommend!

I’ve had my hair Straightened a few times before. I was looking for a new place and liked the reviews for Figaro. I have now gotten my hair straightened three times with Lina. Detailed, professional, skilled, and a lovely person, all in one package. This last time Lina offered me the choice of a few different keratin treatments. She helped me pick the second strongest version and wow! I absolutely love my silky soft straight hair.

I am very satisfied with my spiral perm and this is my second time visiting the salon. They are definitely the best in town. Lina is amazing doing the perm, she understands exactly how I want it and I enjoy very much talking to Elena, she is very talented and knowledgeable. I am surprised that they keep detail records of my previous hair treatment, the whole experience with them is wonderful !

I visited this salon last week for colour correction services after being steered to the salon by amazing online reviews - and I'm so glad I did! Lina was fantastic at assessing the issues with the current highlights (wrong tone, colour placement, uneven processing), understanding what overall look I was after, and walking me through what steps would be needed to correct them. She was able to turn the 'yellow/orange/stripey' highlights I walked in with to a very natural and sun-kissed look, and I'm so happy with how it all worked out. Thanks Lina!

I got my 2nd perm at Figaro and Lina is such an expert at her craft! She cares about her work and she is very sincere, caring, and humble. I loved my experience with Figaro both times, she made the 3-5 hour appointments more than bearable and the entire atmosphere of the salon is so welcoming and family-like. I waited 10 months in between perms and it still looked natural and curly. You pay for the quality of their work and it is definitely worth it!

I asked for a rose gold balayage with ton of dimension and that is what i got! I am so happy with my new hair color :) Lina (i believe that was her name; very tall and long hair) was so patient. A lot of sectioning, blending and a lot of product for sure goes a long way. She always asked if i was Okay and offered me something to drink. My hair actually looks longer after leaving this salon :) and most importantly looks and feels healthy. It was pricey but i am super stoked to rock this and will def return for more crazy hair colors :)

Had Brazilian straightening with Lina and can not express how professional, knowledgeable, honest, and skilled she is. She knows exactly what she is doing and will answer your questions as honestly as possible. Her work speaks for itself. I have extremely curly hair and am very happy with my results.

Lina might be one of my favourite people in the world. She does an AMAZING job to tend to the customer while listening to how you want your hair to look. Came in to get my second perm and decided to do tighter curls this time. She made sure not to have my hair damaged at all. Came out beautifully and soft! Gave me incredible layers and the perfect short length for my face shape. Makes me feel so confident about my hair and how healthy it looks! I can honestly say that I could move halfway across the world and I would still only trust Lina with my hair. Thank you!

Lina is so funny and talented. I did a balayage with her this summer, unlike other places you don't get any damage or dry feeling following the dye. I really enjoyed her service and will return to go even lighter :)

I was long overdue for a hair cut and color but was procrastinating to go as other salons couldn't provide me with a convenient time.

Prior to the booking I had a hair cut consultation with the owner of the Salon Lena who answered all my questions and provided the best suggestions for the hair coloring and booked my appointment right the next day. I had a wonderful hair cut and Balayage coloring done at Figaro Hair Salon on May 5. Lina was the hair dresser who did a fantastic job! The haircut is very manageable and exactly what I needed. The coloring was done to perfection with the shades I wanted ( ...and I am very picky ). I waited for three weeks to post an honest review as I wanted to see how my hair would 'behave' and I am very thrilled about the final results. Thank you to the team at Figaro hair salon who made my hair look amazing and manageable. I highly recommend.

Oh my GOD! This place is amazing. Lina did an amazing job on my hair when I wanted a drastic change (waist length to a long bob). So happy with the cut and style, quality of service, and attention to detail. Prices are also EXTREMELY reasonable for the quality.

So happy! Will definitely be back!

Lina is amazing! Just had my second cut and I love it! She's very meticulous and skilled. All the staff are very friendly and it's a great environment. Definitely recommend!

I went to Figaro to get a big chop! My hair went half way down my back and I cut it to my chin. Whenever I do a drastic hair transformation, I want to make sure that I trust the person who's cutting it. Figaro was a first for me, and it definitely won't be a last! Lina did an amazing job- she listened to what I wanted and she delivered beyond my expectations (and I'm picky). She was also welcoming and beyond friendly from the moment I walked into the salon. I definitely recommend Figaro to anyone looking for a quality haircut.

I went to Figaro a couple of months back and received quite a few treaments, I got my hair ombréd and the next day went back for a kerasilk treatment because I was going to travel and had very frizzy hair in humidity! My experience was amazing Elena and Lina were the woman who worked their magic on me!! The espresso machine was a god sent and snacking on coco sticks was even better!! And the work they do and knowledge is crazy I learned so much about my hair and for a first time at a Toronto hair salon I was extremely impressed I cant wait to go back and my hair is still silky smooth even after my trip and the colour is amazing!! ❤️❤️❤️

I have found Figaro to be a great salon with very experienced and knowledgeable stylists. The atmosphere is always welcoming and customer service is always great. They managed to successfully fix my wife's horrible haircut 'created' by her previous hairdresser, I thought the situation was hopeless but Lina managed to miraculously save it. I highly recommend them.

Extremely professional, great customer care and highly knowledgable team.

I had a colour correction that I needed fixing over the holidays back in December and I took a chance as I had never heard of this place and picked it based on the reviews.

Don't be fooled by the small location in a strip plaza... this place knows what they are doing and they deliver.

I have been to many Salons downtown, midtown and in the ossington area and I have to say no one cared for my hair in the way this salon did.

I had an ombré that desparetly needed to be fixed the top was too dark and need to be lightened by at least 3 levels.

Like most salons they did not dump bleach on my head and walk away. They cared about the damage to my hair and massaged the bleach and watched it for the entire time as it lightened.

My results were incredible and I would highly recommend this place. Elena and Lena thank you for the care you put into my hair!! I will be back.

I came to Figaro salon today for a haircut with Lina. She was styling another lady with beautiful long wavy hair.

It looks really amazing. Lina is very kind and understanding. She did a very cute and chic A- line Bob for me.

I couldn't be any happier to find a hairstylist who cuts in so much detail (truly a perfectionist). Thank you so much for the pleasant service!

The other clients also have beautiful haircuts and colors with other stylists. They are very passionate and artistic. I highly recommend this place

Long time customer, love this place and people working here. They welcome you and make you feel special.

Thank you Lena, Lina & the entire team for your wonderful work!

Just got back from Figaro, and impatient to write a review. Totally in love with my new haircut.

Everyone was super nice, a hairstylist Lina came across as very knowledgeable and experienced, she offered me a couple of hair style options, and was very helpful, I truly enjoyed the entire process! It's hard to find a hairdresser who you will be happy with 100%, but it feels like I've found one! The ambiance is very professional but welcoming at the same time.

Will definitely be back!
