I went here after a girl at work told me about. I was feeling all yucky and bored with my regular haircut so i decided to make and appointment. i went in there with an open mind and told my stylist to "do anything you want with 2 conditions long enough to tye back, and i want some bangs" lol and she delivered! i swear it was one of the best hair cuts i have gotten. the receptionist that works there is always super nice and helpful, and the stylist are willing to listen to what you want but will also give you good suggestions on what they think would look good on you.
If you live in Ottawa you know that it's pretty hard to find a hair salon that isn't going to cost half your paycheck and still does a great job. My friend suggested Hair Bananas (in the Rideau Centre) to me and I really enjoy it! Other places that I have been to have not come off so well.
One hair cut I had at another Rideau Centre hair salon ended up growing into a mullet! Not cool at all! This place makes me feel great and gives me a fresh feeling and I can't wait to go back a third time. I've had two stylists and out of the two, I'd say Roxanne is the best. She gave me a grown-up stylish new cut that I fell in love with!
UPDATE: over the past couple of years, it has been a love/hate relationship with Hair Bananas. It really depends on who you get there. The busier the day, the worse the cut in my opinion. I was really surprised that I found myself hating some hair cuts after walking out. Some people do not know how to use scissors! I still go, because I do get a good cut from the majority of people there, and it is one of the cheaper places I have found in Ottawa to get your hair done.
