Best Hair Salon for Highlights in Toronto

I had a great experience with Lina at Figaro Salon on 3/30/24. Added a picture of my hair done with Air touch technique. Love it! And special thanx for Lina for her professionalism, hospitality, and an eye for beauty. The saloon is a 7 mins’ walk from TTC, the staff are both friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

To put it simply, this was an elite hair dressing experience. In fact, I didn’t know a haircut could be so pleasant! Lina listened carefully, checked in every step of the way, handled my hair gently and also explained certain steps. I felt reassured that I was in good hands - something you often don’t come across when at a new salon getting a haircut. But more than the evident experience and skill that Lina had, I was left with the biggest smile on my face due to the genuinely warm and friendly approach from herself and Elena. It felt like being right at home and amongst friends. To top it off, even the administrative part was smooth and hassle-free. All in all, I left with an absolutely beautiful cut and an even more lovely experience. Totally worth the couple hour drive!

Amazing amazing amazing, as always!! I couldn’t be happier with the results, and I always leave amazed. I have very long hair, and a lot of it, and Elena was able to bring life and freshness back into my hair, with a gorgeous airtouch technique, A true master!! Thank you thank you thank you!!

If I could give Sindy a thousand stars, I would. She is by far the kindest and most skilled professional I have ever experienced in this field. She had very clear and polite communication right from the very first message to set up the appointment. After meeting Sindy at the door, I felt instantly relaxed because I knew I was in good hands. She has a very compassionate and warm demeanour paired with a confidence that will make you feel safe. She took the time to listen to my concerns about cutting too much length due to a previous bad experience with someone else who had chopped my hair without asking. She was extremely patient and took extra time to reassure me that she would not be doing that. She also went out of her way to communicate with me before and after cutting, as well as asking for my opinion on the colour and tone of the highlights. She even blow dried a section to see if I liked the tone of the blonde before finalizing everything. I said I trusted her and she could do whatever she wanted but she still included me so I felt empowered. She also gave me some tips on how to keep my new fabulous hair happy and healthy. I know Sindy specializes in colour correction and I can see why. Her empathetic nature paired with her razor sharp skills and artistry are very reassuring to anyone who may have had a recent experience elsewhere that hadn’t gone well. She will give your hair new life and help you trust again. She is basically a magical hair wizard! Sindy is a beautiful soul both inside and out and I am so grateful I had the privilege of meeting her.

Today I was lucky to be a client of professionals! Amazing Elena, won my heart! Perhaps for the first time in my life, my hair was so beautifully dyed! Master Artem created an incredible haircut! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Prosperity to you!

Cindy worked wonders with my hair, loved the color, exactly what I wanted. Everyone had a friendly face, the appointment was for highlights and I have tons of hair, they were super patient and the job could not have been better!!

I am really grateful with Cindy! She did a wonderful work with my hair. She cut it in a precious style and she did an amazing work with the colour as well! Thank you very much!

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!

Highly recommend. Very professional.

Thanks Sindy for the highlights. My curls didnt get damaged and she got the perfect tone right away. Impressed by her skills 🙏

So patient and easy to communicate with.

Best place Ever 😍

Thank you Elena! The best cut, colour and style I've ever had!

I went to Figaro a few weeks ago for a cut and balayage. I had already had balayage done that was growing out, and wanted more colour to help blend it with my natural colour. I had originally asked for highlights but they knew what I was looking for and suggested balayage instead, for a more gradual look which turned out exactly as I'd hoped! They had also made another suggestion for my haircut so that I would get everything I wanted out of my new hair. It turned out beautifully. Not only was everyone very friendly, but I really appreciate how professional and skilled they are, where they can make great suggestions to offer you the most out of your new look! Thank you!

Excellent service! I went in for a trim and color treatment, and left with a wonderfully layered cut and balayage highlights! I was pleased with the care taken by staff, especially with Amandine, who treated and styled my hair, and also with the owner, who encouragingly checked in. Both women had a very pleasant disposition! Thank you very much for your time and talent :)

Amazing!!! They are totally professional, very honest people, sweet, friendly and again SO PROFESSIONAL!! they save my hair, my hair feel like new, don't think twice, if you are looking for a great hair style, color and cut, this is the place, I am very grateful.

My wife and I stumbled on this gem a month ago, with the reviews alone we decided to check it out and get a consultation.

From what we received from Elena we were very impressed (when doing your research and been to how many salons...'you'd be surprised' this place was the most knowledgeable/polite for us). From just 1 meeting she figured out my wife's hair along with complete honesty of what its going to take to fix it 'which is really what we are looking for.' We ended up coming back after 3 weeks (BOOK EARLY/ASAP! they are SUPER BUSY!), Elena and her team did an AMAZING JOB!! with my wife's hair (after a few salons couldn't get it right..)

My wife is so trilled with the professional care of 'Service' and 'Results' that she has received. They were ever so gentle and caring. This team of wonderful talented artists take their time in perfecting their work and you can tell that they take a lot of pride in what they do. We're very thankful and grateful for their kind hospitality and honesty.

Thank you Elena and team!

We shall be seeing you soon!

I came to Figaro to get blond highlights done. My hair was a complete disaster. It was damaged but worse of all the colour needed lots of correction. The staff at Figaro were great. I can't believe they saved my hair from the disaster it was in. I was so happy with the service. They took their time but above all did an amazing job. My hair looks perfect. So hard to get a salon that will do an amazing blond job. Figaro did it. I am definitely coming back!

Unfortunately my hair was way overdue for some tlc - I wanted warm blonde hilites for the summer, I showed a pic to Lena and Tamara and after some meticulous,skillful,patient work - POOF! perfectly, soft, beautiful and most of all stronger hair with warm blonde hilites.

Can’t wait to return, great experience and very friendly and professional staff.

Thank you ladies love it.

My first visit to Figaro was for a colour correction; another salon gave me blonde highlights I did not like and they gave me a hard time when I asked to have it fixed. I am so happy I chose Figaro, I am so pleased with the results! Lina assessed my hair, gave me quite a few options for correction, and then not only corrected my hair colour with a beautiful balayage/toner over blonde highlights, she also trimmed my hair to get rid of the choppy haircut I received (the cut started as just a quick fix, but she ended up cutting/styling it amazingly and for no charge). Throughout the process, Lina explained everything to me before she proceeded, which I really appreciated. Her and the rest of the crew treated me to coffee and chocolates and lastly, and this might just be my preference, but Lina always addressed me by my name, not 'hun, sweetie' or other terms of endearments, but by my name and it really made me feel like she was there for me, saw me as a person she wanted to help and not just another client. Thank you Lina and Figaro, I am absolutely calling you my salon of choice and so far, the best I have visited in Toronto!

This place has been nothing but pleasant! I have had excellent service from not only my stylist himself, but also the others involved. I gpt my hair dyed a new colour (ombre balayage) and the result has exceeded my expectations. It took roughly 2 hours give or take to get the style done and it was worth the wait. I arrived an hour early for my appointment and only had about 8 mins of waiting time. I was able to get it done earlier. Great service! Excellent!

Today, I had my hair done at Figaro Hair Salon by Lina and Elena. Lina is a professional hair stylist did a very good job by doing balayage and laminate for my hair. About a month ago, I've had a bad experience at another place where my hair colour end up completely wrong. So, I went to see Elena ( Art director) at Figaro Salon and asked her to fix the mistake. Elena took very professional approach advising it to be done in a few steps avoiding damagiing my hair. Elena and Lina work as a team. Elena has a very good esthetic taste and can give unique professional advice. I am very happy with the result.

I have been to this salon a few times and have always had a good experience. Great people, friendly atmosphere and wonderful service [not to mention the fantastic coffee and treats :)]. Today I had my brown roots and blonde highlights done by Lina. I have been experiencing some hair health issues lately and Lina was so considerate, gentle and reassurring. I received beautiful platinum blonde highlights without any damage. It turned out exactly as the picture I showed. The cut was perfect, as was the style. It has been a while since I've been this pleased with my hair and how my hair was dealt with. Thank you Lina ... you are an absolute sweetheart and I am very pleased and happy with my hair!

I have been getting my hair done at the Figaro salon for over 10 years now. It is operated by the owner Elena, who has lots of hairstyling and hair coloring experience. She probably won every single award under the sun! All her staff are very knowledgeable and a couple of years ago I had a pleasure of meeting Lina. She has years of hair styling experience on her own. Whether you are looking for creative ideas for coloring / cut /styles that would best suit you or have something specific in mind she is your kind of gal. With her we have maintained different styles which I loved but we also experimented with some new ones. She is a gem, I have never been disappointed and I am pleased to share my experience with her work. I am posting some of the coloring we did recently. Sorry as it turned out I didn't take many pictures of my hair alone!

I have been a customer for a couple of years and I have found the quality and customer service to be excellent.

I rarely have to wait to be seated and I can't say that of any other hair salon --and I am always a few minutes early!

As for the customer service, you can't ask for a more friendly atmosphere.

Seriously the best place I have ever been.

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
