Absolutely the worst haircut I have ever had in my life by Kim (shockingly the owner) at Oskar on Skollard. I am not one to blast people on social media or cry about a haircut, but I left in tears, anger and had to run to the nearest Shoppers for product and a public bathroom to fix the disaster that I left the salon with. I know that to Oskar on Skollard it was only a Groupon voucher, but it is my hair and I did pay for a cut, colour and style. The owner Kim introduced herself and let me know immediately that it would normally cost $500.00 for her services. Also, that she bought the business two years ago and is trying to draw in a different kind of clientele apart from the Yorkville crowd.
Colour: Although I asked repeatedly that the colour not be red, it is now a black and plum colour nonetheless, and the fact that Kim asked numerous members of her staff around her “it’s not red, right?”, did not help me.
The Cut: Butchery. Every time I heard that razor blade against my curly hair and bangs, my heart sunk. I also had to ask her repeatedly to cut my bangs, which are now unmanageable.
Style: Even though my voucher included a styling (usually this would involve a blow out and hair straightening at any other salon, groupon or not), I was told by Kim that she had “no time.” When her next appointment was late, she said I was “lucky” and that she would style my hair. This included blow drying my curly hair into a frizzy mess, a little bit of flat ironing and a lot of flattening my hair to my head with the palms of her hands. When I asked if I could please use her straightener to straighten my bangs a little more because (like the rest of my head) it was too fluffy, she said to go ahead as she was “done with me.” To add insult to injury, without any previous warning I was charged an ADDITIONAL $40.00 at the register because I had “more hair.” I was absolutely appalled. I paid it and walked out disgusted (and with my hair looking a lot like present-day Gene Simmons). If Kim wanted all of her clients to have thin, straight hair that she could cut in five minutes like she cut for my friend (see below), she should stipulate that on Groupon as well as the Oskar site.
Kim did not even bother to brush the cut hairs off of my face, which my friend had to do for me once we were outside. Hands down the worst hair experience I have ever had and although “Oskar on Skollard” may have a good reputation from their past, I don’t believe Kim has done their name justice.
My friend also had the same Groupon cut, colour, style voucher as I did. Kim was done with her in literally (am I mean literally) five minutes. She sat my friend down, told her that she did not need colour, told her that she cut on dry hair, used a razor on a few chunks of my friends hair and called it a day. No colour, no cut, no style and amazingly my friend’s hair actually looked worse than when she arrived.
WE are her business cards so to speak and the fact that she could let us walk out of her salon looking like we did is shocking.
Her staff are lovely and I do believe that they, as well as the aesthetic of the salon, are a credit to the name, but do yourself a favour, and do not book anything with Kim. But if you do, prepare to not get what you ask for and to pay an additional $40.00 if your hair is not straight and lanky.

Oh boy. I will never return to this salon again. My hair, just like the last posters, was hacked to bits! I showed a specific picture of what I wanted-yet ended up with the "Rachel" as well....with horrible highlights to boot. She took on 2 other clients while working on me as well. Seriously. I haven't been able to style my hair properly since Kim cut it. It is a horror story. I had thick, curly hair that I wanted to leave past my shoulders- yet somehow the shears came out and I have so many layers and its barely touching my shoulders at the longest part. She was friendly enough, but VERY unprofessional and rude. The f bombs were flying all over the place and she gossiped about different workers in the salon? I understand it was a Groupon, but please- if you want me to come back you should be doing exactly what I'm asking for so I will be a repeat client! I too will have to wait a very long time before my hair is back to something easily manageable. Avoid at all costs.

When I got home I was HORRIFIED to see what had been done to my hair. Kimberly, the owner cut my hair and hacked it to death. I explained very carefully: "I am trying to grow my hair 6-12 inches, please do a very very light trim and keep very long layers." She then used thinning shears and razors on my hair and gave me a Rachel from Friend's-esque cut. Instead a once thick long pony tail I know have a sad little stream of long hair, the rest has been layered to death. She seemed to be in La La land while cutting my hair as I watched and tried not to cry. DO NOT GET YOUR HAIR CUT FROM KIMBERLY AT THIS HAIR SALON. It will be at least another year before I can start to look like I did before, there goes all that time and care trying to grow my hair long - literally down the drain.
