My visit there was on June 14,2017 it took Sylvia 4 and a half hours to finish my hair. I choose a hairstyle that was different and i asked if she can do something similar to the hairstyle i choose and showed her she said this is her first time doing something like this. So my appointment start at 12 the first thing she did was cut half of my hair when i asked for a trim she forgot what i asked for. I was disappointed and stopped her and i understand it since she already cut half of my hair. She said after coloring my hair she would do a haircut i trusted her but i had a bad start. When she was bleaching my hair she kept it for about an hour if not more. And many times she kept looking at the picture i wanted.She kept putting more bleach in my hair but she said its okay and safe for my hair. She put bleach on specific spots on my hair i was confused because in the picture i showed her the women hair had to be fully bleached but Sylvia said not to worry and that it would be nice and i trust her because shes a professional. After she put on the colors and washed my hair i liked how it looked like. She again gave me haircut. After when she was blow drying my hair i stopped because it looked really bad she basically started straighten my curly big hair which looked really bad on me i stopped her and asked for another dryer after when my hair was somewhat dry my daughter took a picture I RUN to her asking for brush and i started brushing my hair. It was HORRIBLE HORRIBLE ! i had lots of stress and went to store to by dark hair dye. My daughter told me to go back and say something because it was really bad! and she didn't even get 1% correct from the picture. When we went back my daughter explained the situation and all Sylvia kept saying was that what i wanted and she cant do anything and Sylvia said i dont want any problems and she gave us a $60 back the original price was $120. I went home to wash my hair WITHOUT shampoo and the hair "dye" was coming out like crazy and for now i know shes not professional at all she used cheap hair "dye". And now where she bleach my hair its starting to fall apart and its break easily. I recommend NOT to go there its so unprofessional place and im not going to talk about how filthy the place is because its really bad. The tools that they had were really dirty and old. PLEASE DON'T GO THERE.

I went to this location with a Groupon offer for a straightening treatment. After doing a single section, I noticed my hair color had changed drastically. I asked the hair dresser what had happened, and she assured me the color would not change as much as I thought. She completed the rest of my hair, and the process made my hair go from dark black, to a light brown/blonde. She then proceeded to dye my hair twice, which did not take. By this time my hair was horribly over processed, and I was there for 6 hours (my appointment started at 1:00PM) and she had even taken on another customer at the same time. I was told to return the next day and have her continue to dye my hair. I instead went to another salon, who let me know any treatment the hair dresser did had been ruined from the dye and multiple rinsing, and I had to spend over $200 to get it fixed and was forced to have 2-3 inches cut off. I thankfully got a refund from Groupon. However the salon owner repeatedly harassed my cellphone for days after, telling me I had skipped on the bill and sent very rude text messages claiming I had scammed her. After a few days, I politely told her she had not done what I had gone into the salon for, but instead ruined my hair which I had to then have fixed for much more than the treatment was supposed to be initially. The text messages stopped immediately. I would advise anyone to be VERY cautious about going to this hair salon. EDIT: When I was hounded for payment at this time, and explained to the owner that I had to pay $200.00+ to fix the damage she did, I asked if she would pay for this. She blatantly said "this never happened before" and stopped all communication! This response below is very false, and I have the text messages saved! PLEASE CHECK YELP REVIEWS, they are MUCH more honest as to what this salon does.

A few years ago, I went here for a basic wash and blow dry because it’s close to home and I wasn’t able to get a last min appointment at my regular salon. Unfortunately it was clear this lady had no idea what she was doing. I do a better job on my hair day to day. My hair was left greasy, limp, with zero body. NOT how my hair looks even when doing it on my own let alone by a supposed professional. I went home and had to quickly Re-wash and dry before my event, it was that bad. She was however very pleasant to speak with and seemed to be a good person so I didn’t complain - just walked out and didn’t plan on going back. During the service she talked a lot about the eBates website but i didn’t think much of it. She also mentioned that she used to work in IT - which made a lot of sense considering how bad the simple blow dry was. Well, not long after I left I get an email from eBates saying I’ve been signed up to their program. I’m pretty sure this lady took the personal information i used in the sign in book and automatically signed me up to her eBates program - which I gave no consent to do and have zero interest in. I wrote an email to them complaining and got zero response, so I filed a formal complaint to the privacy commissioner. Do not recommend this place at all.

This is an update to my review as I have been going to Hair Wave Salon ever since. Sylvia always does an excellent job and I get exactly what I ask for with my hair. The hours are very convenient and easy to book online. The best part is that the prices for her services are excellent, you get your money's worth. I got my hair colored, highlighted and styled. I told her to surprise me with styling my hair so she did curls which I rarely do because I usually straighten it, but it came out so nice! I would recommend going to Hair Wave Salon! I went to get my hair coloured and full highlights about 3 weeks ago. Sylvia was great, very friendly and did an amazing job with my hair. She took her time colouring and highlighting my hair. She also styled my hair and I just loved her one on one service. She cares about her service to her clients. I would recommend everyone to get this experience with her. She is very humble and kind and caring.

I was introduced to Sylvia @ Hair Wave Salon about 5 years ago thru a friend who also is a present customer of Hair Wave. Over the years, my visits have always been a rewarding and wonderful experience. I have never left without feeling more youthful and vibrant each time. I have also tried other hair stylist but I would come back to Hair Wave. Also, not forgetting what a wonderful soul she is, always a great listener and easy to talk to. Truly an admiration. She never fails to accommodate me & my family. Keep up the amazing job, that you do. Never stop making us women, look & feel prettier!!!

You have made your biggest mistake by going to this hair salon "Wave Salon" Sylvia she knows nothing, nothing about the hair design or cuts, at the end you get yourself a wavy hair cuts, and wavy attitude, rude and expect to do your hair the way she likes, she likes to grab your cash not taking debit or credit, want to just to grab cash..... reading all these reviews about her, they all lie, made up by friends and family,......just up to you if you want to go there but you will regret it. all the best if you go you will ruin your day and plans. UNHAPPY CUSTOMER RIGHT BACK TO YOU SYLVIA,

Our purpose to get a good hair cut, and enjoy someone lovely to Chat with us, I went to get a hair cut, she started talking about how certain community students ruined her house, even though she is from same community, she started talking I want to change Them, she totally ruined my day, when I told her I am here to get a hair cut, not to listen your bull..... then she almost begged me for good reviews, i totally hated her company, and also she didn’t do good job at hair cut, if you want to hear complaints about her life please go there.

Few weeks back I wanted to take my wife for hair cut colour and nails to be done. She is a senior citizen and need assistance. I phoned Sylvia what a nice person, she was willing to open the Salon after hours to help my wife. I was very lucky to find Sylvia the right person. She is the best to chat with while getting haircut. She is friendly, helpful, and professional. She has lot of patience. I absolutely love this place. She's amazing and I highly recommend her.

Excellent experience here! went for layering & highlights recently (June 2022) and Ms Syliva took her time to provide me the exact cut and look i wanted. Re-assessed the colour frequently during application to ensure it was what i wanted. Also provided follow-up the next day to ensure i was happy with the service. I was made to feel very comfortable during my appointment and will happily be back regularly in future. Thank you Hairwave!

Very very nice lady. Had great conversation. I got a full body wax done, but not all hair was removed from the roots. There's a lot of missed spots that I'm feeling after a couple days like if I shaved. Which it's suppose to take out from the roots. I wish I spotted it all out the day of. She was kind when I did notice the spots I could see and she went back over. I think it took a little longer than it should have though. 2 hours :/

It’s my first time to visit her salon and so welcoming!. I gave her my fully trust to do my hair and she definitely nailed it 101 % i totally recommend her because you’ll be happy with the outcome. My experienced with her is so amazing. Honestly its hard to find a good hairdresser. She is the best so far simply bcoz i didnt feel any discomfort in my scalp or smell the chemical that she used.. Thank you again Ms. Sylvia

Super super happy with my hair ,thank you Sylvia you are amazing and super talented at what you do ,I am so grateful you recommend the Keratin treatment ,this is the second time I had it done at your salon and notice a huge change in the way my hair looks and feel ,but the biggest benefit I notice that my hair is growing back thicker ,stronger and is easer for me to style at home ,You are awesome .Thanks again

Sylivia is the best. I wanted a curly perm on my naturally straight hair but not too curly. I never had a hair perm before and I wanted the change my look up since I’m tired of having straight hair all the time. She took her time doing my hair and I got the mermaid waves that I was looking for. I get so many compliments all the time with my new hair and would recommend Sylvia to my friends and family.

I definitely recommend Hair Wave Salon. Sylvia is amazing and very experienced. She goes the extra mile to ensure that every single client if hers is satisfied and walks away happy. She moved to a home-based Salon after Covid and runs it on her own. I've met some of her clients who have been visiting her for over 15 years. I am going to be one of them too. Definitely worth a visit.

Sylvia is a highly accomplished, veteran skilled hairdresser. I searched for years, one time attending salon after salon, in search of someone who didn't butcher my hair. After having met Sylvia, I will not let anyone else touch my hair. Selfish bonus that she's a very attractive lady too . I have been attending for nearly a decade and have never been disappointed.

Great salon! Sylvia does a fantastic job! The products are very good as well. I know because I have very sensitive skin and not all many salons hair and skin products are good for me. Also I love how Sylvia gives you great advice on natural ways to keep ur skin and hair healthy! Oh and every time I got my hair done it was incredible! Definitely recommended to everyone

WARNING! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!!!! I will never come back to this place. I came to get my hair and eyebrows done. She pretended she knew what she was doing and completely wrecked my eyebrows. She even overheated the wax and burnt me. If your looking for a professional who knows what they are doing......DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!

I had a reference video of the haircut I wanted, and I am happy to say that it is the exact cut Sylvia did on my hair! She has exceptional skills and works with total ease! Moreover, her salon space was very clean and decorated. If you want to experiment something new with your hair, I completely recommend this salon.

She was a nice lady but we felt like she didn’t know about hair cutting and even she didn’t notice that she cut my hair unequal and I have to let her know that she cut them unequal. From the starting I tell her not to cut my hair short but still she cut them short. I’m not satisfied with what she did to my hair.

I had a great experience with Sylvia. She was able to accommodate a last minute booking. She is a great hair stylist and very knowledgeable. She provided lots of tips and advice on nutrition and how to maintain healthy hair. Will definitely be back for another cut and highly recommend! Thank you Sylvia!

Have been going to Hair Wave for years now and Sylvia Colours, Highlights and cuts my hair perfectly ever time. She is always accommodating to my needs when scheduling appointments. I find Sylvia caring and friendly and always listens to what I want. I would absolutely recommend her! Cheri R

I've been going to Hair Wave a few years now and never thought to leave a review. So here I am reviewing. Sylvia always listens to the way I want my haircut. I get compliments all the time. And when I ask for just a trim, she always makes sure it is a trim (Not cutting away aimlessly).

I had an amazing experience there, Silvia is such a sweet lady, she took care of my all needs and gave me next treatment. On point customer service, friendly environment. Clean and well managed places. I will definitely go back to her in future. Thank you very much Silvia.

Slyvia does incredible work with hair. She has been doing my hair since I was in midddle school. She always highlights my hair so beautifully and has a great personality. Her costs are really fair and reasonable. I definitely recommend going to Hair Wave Salon and Spa.

I visit this salon once a month to get my laser done and hair done. Wonderful service and wonderful staff and reasonable prices. I have been to other salons for my laser and this is the only place where the laser doesn't hurt. I would recommend this place to everyone

Posting a second review for Sylvia through another Google account because she is just too good at what she does ! Love love love my eyebrows for years I struggled to get the right shape and then I found Sylvia! She is amazing highly highly recommend …

Sylvia is by far the best hair dresser in Scarborough and I highly recommend her. She also does hair removal so you can get everything done at once. I have never waited for my appt because she knows what she is doing. If you need a great hair dresser, give a call.

Excellent service. Sylvia did an amazing job with my hair. I wanted to style my hair and add more layers. And I got exactly what I wanted. My hair feels so good now with more style. I would recommend this place to anyone. I will definitely return In the future.

Sylvia has been cutting my hair for over five years. I am always pleased with the cut as she has a good eye for giving me a cut which frames my face well. She takes her time and is very pleasant to deal with. Her new location is bright and spacious.

Sylvia is an excellent hairstylist. She is very nice and friendly. I felt very comfortable being a first time customer at her salon. My hair looks amazing and Sylvia took her time and made my hair look beautiful. I definitely recommend this salon!!

Lovely service from Sylvia, I have been using her services for 5 years. She does the best highlights and cut and style. Get a lot of compliments even months after getting my hair done. Thanks Sylvia for being so accommodating and kind.

I’ve been coming here for over 10 years, and each time I leave with my expectations satisfied! Sylvia is a great hair dresser, and can accommodate to any hair needs. I highly suggest going to Hairwave to get your hair done!

Sylvia is amazing! I love the way my eyebrows turned out. I will be going to her from now on. She's very nice and accommodated me for the same day at her home studio. Highly recommend for eyebrow waxing …

Amazing experience. Sylvia was lovely and very kind. My hair came out amazing and I am very happy with the results. Highly recommend, the price was also very reasonable. Thank you so much.

Excellent service and quick turnaround. I always go to Sylvia Haniff and have been going to her for over 20 years. I highly recommend Hair Wave for the professional and friendly service.

I went in for highlights, colour and a cut. I was beyond happy with how perfect it turned out. Sylvia really listens and cares about details! Do not hesitate to go to her salon :)

I've been going to Sylvia for lazer treatment for many years. She has been great! Always a pleasant experience and enjoy chatting with her. I would recommend her.

I've been going to Sylvia's salon for years now and have built a nice relationship with her. The salon is pleasant and the service is great! Highly recommended!

Wonderful!! I will be returning as soon as I can. I get my eyebrows and hair trimmed regularly. I don't live in the area but the drive is worth it.

If you want to cry next few months Visit this place. I’m still crying. Ruined my hair completely. Hope it doesn’t happens to anyone.

Excellent service! I will definitely come back. Sylvia is a very nice woman. She's professional and knows what she's doing

The hairstylist was super awesome.... she understood what kind of haorcut I needed.... …

Sylvia is so professional and genuinely cares about her customers. My daughter will only go to her as well

Excellent service. Pleasant experience with stylist. Very good service and sure will be back again.

Amazing experience! She transformed my hair so quick!! I’ve never been happier with the outcome!

It seemed like she didn't know what she was doing. Worst hair cut I've gotten in a while.

Excellent hairdresser definitely recommend if you are looking for a hairdresser

Kind, Clean, Efficient service! My look was even better than what I asked for!

I've been seeing the owner for years, and she is a really great person.

It's not a Mens Haircut place for sure.

Very reliable and very accommodating.
