Review β„–1

Got a great cut from Taylor who listened to what I wanted and is one of the only stylists who styled my hair the way I like it. Usually I can’t convince stylists to not take a straighter and a curling iron to my hair but Taylor happily took the time to diffuse my hair to let it have its natural texture. She totally saved my hair from the bad COVID cut I have myself and didn’t give me any flack for it πŸ˜…. She’s also affordably priced.

The hair stylists here are amazing and this review should not reflect poorly on them. The stylists are why this salon is one of the best in Victoria.Unfortunately, the owner is an unprofessional bully. Do not go here if you have an invisible illness and might have to reschedule last minute. She has no sympathy and will publicly embarrass you.I had a very high-risk pregnancy and had to call to cancel and reschedule twice in a row because I was vomiting uncontrollably and too weak to drive. Plus Im assuming having to be sick during a hair appointment isnt ideal? When I finally got to have my appointment I was SO excited for some self-care. I was very pregnant, very weak, very worried about my unborn child, and very emotional. Not to mention I was experiencing peripartum depression and anxiety.On the drive to the salon I got stuck behind a car accident on a one way street in downtown. My car was literally trapped and I just had to wait. I called the salon and asked them to let my stylist know. When I arrived 20 minutes late and explained my situation again and apologized I was told that I couldnt have my leftover appointment time and that I was no longer welcome there because of cancelling last minute. I again explained that I was having a difficult pregnancy and had to put the well-being of my baby first and that I was physically vomiting the days I cancelled previously.The owner didnt care. She just continued to embarrass me publicly in their front lobby and tell me not to come back. I checked their cancellation policy. Its pretty straightforward: if you cancel within 24 hours of your appointment you need to pay the cancellation fee. I have no problem with that. Not sure where the fine print on public embarrassment and refusing service is.My takeaway: avoid the owner like the plague. Dont be sick, dont be pregnant, and dont have things outside of your control like car accidents happen. Then youll be okay.

Super friendly and knowledgeable stylists! This salon has amazing hair products and hair accessories! I have super curly hair and my stylist (Antonia) has shaped my hair into behaving and has guided me into the best way to care for my curls. I’m SO pleased to have found this gem of hair artistry here in the heart of Victoria!

Found this place by googling best salon Victoria and it is ranked high for good reason! The space has so much old charm and character. It is very clean, covid safe, and steady busy but did not feel crowded at all. I have nightmare hair and Sydney turned my vision into a reality! She provided extra tips for care and offered free services if I was unhappy at all with my cut, or just needed to come back for a tweak. The prices are very reasonable, and I will definitely be back to see Sydney for all my future hair needs!

I have wavy hair that easily gets frizzy and usually see Antonia or Wendy. They are amazing!! Today I just saw Wendy and she did a great job with cutting and styling my hair, working with its natural curl. I also enjoyed our conversation and the scalp massage.Salon is pricey but they have a student discount on Tuesdays. Plus they take their COVID protocols seriously and I felt safe.

I have been a client at Fish for many years. All of the people at Fish are capable, friendly, and kind. Getting a service at Fish is an entirely enjoyable experience, from being greeted warmly with an ever changing tea, to the people of the place that ensure your experience is a pleasant and comfortable. I have yet to have bad experience, in nearly two decades. The salon is clean, well kept, and beautiful. The true beauty of the place, though is its people. All are capable professionals, but there is a true sense of commitment to service and happiness, which always comes through.

I’ve been a client of fish hair salon for close to 12 years. What’s great about fish is their stylists are trained at different levels and it reflects in the price. I see one of their master stylists Sandra and would highly recommend her. She does an excellent job. Over the years I’ve seen many stylists and can’t say I’ve been happy with any of them. If you’re looking for a professional hair stylist, this is the place.

I have been a client of Fish for 16 years and always been very impressed with the quality and service. My respect and admiration of the business went up several notches after their re-opening post covid shutdown. Fish Hair Salon has gone above and beyond in creating a comfortable environment. I’ve been there twice since re-opening and can say it’s one of the safest businesses I’ve been in. Properly spaced chairs, all employees and clients wearing masks, plexiglass dividing each station... I was blown away! Well done Fish Hair Salon and Donna! You will always have my business.

Just came back from my first experience here. The place is huge with 30 full time staff. The ones I encountered all all professional, kind and skilled. I was referred to Sandra by a friend and couldnt be happier with the results. I heard it was pricey, however I didnt find so as its no different from a high quality treatment or even any salon around here. Its worth the price. Thanks for a wonderful experience with great results Sandra!

I’ve been visiting Fish Hair Salon for a few years now. I’ve always had a great cut and great service no matter which stylist I have had.They have a range of stylists with specialties and experience. Even their junior stylists give excellent cuts.They also have better hours than most salons, making it easier to book appointments and without needing to take time off work.I highly recommend Fish Hair Salon.

The stylists and support staff at Fish Hair Salon are both friendly and extremely professional. I have never had a better cut and beard trim. i was impressed that Emily not only took the time to evaluate what type of cut would suite my face and hair type the best, but then carefully showed me how to style it at the end. The atmosphere is very positive, vibrant and unrushed.

Review β„–24

There are a lot of really great things about this salon. My hairstylist was friendly and knowledgeable, the space is bright, modern, and clean, and you can tell that the individuals working here are professionals who care about what they do. However, I paid upwards of $300 for foils and a trim (this is a lot of money) and I found that at first it looked really great but once the toner washed out, there were huge sections of my hair that hadnt been coloured. My stylist was trying out a new technique that she had learned from a coworker and I think the technique involved not colouring as much of the hair as she usually would or doing foils in a way that give the APPEARANCE of full-coverage while getting my hair done quickly with fewer foils. Im not a hairstylist myself so I can only speak to my experience but at the end of the day the price tag was too steep for the results. I didnt end up going back to have my hair fixed which is totally on me, I should have called and tried to explain how I wasnt totally satisfied with the results. I was kind of worried that they would want to charge me to have the darker sections of my hair coloured and didnt really have any more money to spend on my hair at the time. Im now looking elsewhere for my next cut and colour.

Review β„–25

I like the hair cut but there was a lot of miscommunication...Long story short...I told receptionist that I want my appointment at 5:30 but she set it as 7.And I was referred by friend, but did not get discount.My friend, she could talk about hours on how good her stylist is, so I wanted give it a try.She called in for me but the stylist was not working that day. so I called back and set up for the other day that works for me...couple days after, I went in and had 15min consultation. After the consultation, I wanted to book for a haircut. The receptionist told me I could do it on Thursday 5pm, but I work till 5, so I told I want 5:30. She told me she cannot do that on Thursday, and then she told me she can do next Tuesday. So I said I would like to do that. And weekend I got text saying my appointment is 7. Not 5:30.7 was not convenient time for me but I went in since I don’t wanna wait for another week..So I got haircut and I liked it.. But even though I was told that I will get discount because I was referred by friend, they charged for full price. I asked the receptionist that I was referred by friend and that friend called in for my first reservation. The receptionist told me that I need name card or something to get discount. So I paid full price.I came home and told my friend about that. She told me that when she called in for appointment, she specifically asked if I need referral card, and she was told that I don’t need to. She was told that I only need to give them her name and that will do. Well it didn’t.Just for this one appointment, there was a lot of miscommunication. And miscommunication frustrates me. Since I liked the stylist I am thinking of going back... but these kind of mistakes make me hesitate!

My first time at the salon, and it exceeded all expectations! Angela was my hair stylist, and she is friendly, happy, and excellent at her craft. I have thick, long hair and she knew exactly what to do. You can tell she is a lot of fun, loves what she does and just a great person. I will definitely go back to see her again. She was well worth my time and money.The place is very clean yet stylish amid all the COVID-19 requirements. I appreciated that this salon is taking it very seriously, and I felt safe there. Hand sanitizer right when you come in, masks are required, plexiglass installed between stalls, and someone was cleaning constantly around me.Dont hesitate to book an appointment here. From the initial email from them, to my reminder call, to my overall experience here, they know what they are doing, and I am grateful that I found a new awesome hair salon!Thank you Fish salon for being professional, thoughtful and fun! Loved it.

When arriving an hour early (my mistake) the receptionist was quick to offer different options on what I could do (go grab a coffee and they would add it to my bill later, reschedule, OR see another stylist right away). Being a new mom rescheduling wasnt an option and I was lucky to find a new hair stylist ready for me. Thanks Fish for being fast, accommodating and friendly.

Got my hair done by Antonina. She did what I wanted and took good care of me. But she definitely took some liberty and tweaked my desired look into something slightly different.

I have been going to this salon since I moved to Victoria and have loved it from the beginning. Through my many different styles and colours, the staff and stylists have always made sure I have a pleasant and relaxing experience, and of course to walk away with great looking hair. Sometimes people will say that my hair looks perfect. My long-time stylist, Ashley, can take much of the credit for providing a fabulous cut that works specifically for my face shape and fine hair and takes about 6 minutes to do. Dont envy me ladies, just get yourself to Fish Hair Salon. :)

Review β„–46

I had a haircut in June with a lovely stylist - I was very happy with it. But I was given misleading information. I was told I could get free bang trims so encouraged to come back a couple of months later for that. I did but my stylist had to cancel last minute and I was booked with a different stylist instead, who made me pay for a new cut. That stylist told me I could come back for free bang trims from then on and I just tried to book my first trim since and was told Id have to pay for it as the free bang trim was only a one-time deal and only with the same stylist.(Edited) The owner has kindly clarified the misunderstanding: apparently the two stylists were misinformed about the policy on complimentary services - those have a 4-week time limit from the date of the haircut. It sounds like there will be more clarity in the future.

I made a first time appointment with Dave after seeing his work on the Fish Salon Instagram account. I have been trying to lighten my hair colour which has been a challenge because it is very dark and thick. I wasnt getting the colour after a few sessions with another stylist in Victoria, and one session with Dave I was where I wanted to be! He went WAY above and beyond for my cut and colour. Thank-you Dave!

The shop is lovely and the team is great. Unfortunately there was a bit of a miscommunication (two way street I dont blame anyone), so unfortunately for me Im not enjoying my new hair at all. This mostly sucks because getting my hair colored is an expensive luxury that I can only afford once maybe twice a year if Im lucky, so it would have been nice if I had been in love with it afterwards.

Angela and the team at FISH were the absolute sweetest when I came into their salon bawling after having my hair burnt off and being yelled at by the owner of Carribean Style Hair Salon. Stylist Angela introduced herself, gave me a big hug, a cup of tea and sat me down in her chair right away (on a busy Friday). Without judgement, she explained what had happened to my hair and wrote out a plan to repair what was left of my damaged locks (that included vitamins to grow my hair back). She genuinely expected nothing in return for her generosity.Angelas kindness, calm and expertise was exactly what I needed after such a traumatizing experience. Her professionalism further re-enforced why going to a reputable hair salon is well worth the time and money. I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Angela at FISH . Thank-you.

I honestly could not have been happier with my experience. I got my hair cut by Lauren Sands; I have anxiety when it comes to getting my hair cut (its slightly pathetic I know...) but Lauren made my experience absolutely worth every cent.

I highly recommend Fish Salon to anyone looking for an amazing experience that is truly worth your money. Such a positive experience

I thought it would be a good idea to go to fish salon for a quick bang trim as I have heard good things about the salon by boy was I ever wrong. Although the girl asked me quite a few questions about what I would like, the end result looked nothing like I described. I described feathery bangs that end below my eyebrows but what I got was an inch shorter than what I wanted and not only that it was choppy and has an uneven spot right in the middle! By far the worst experience I have ever had! By the result of a simple bang trim I am highly questioning if and how this hair dresser got her license.

Review β„–64

I had thick, long wavy hair and literally asked for a trim. Just a trim. My hair was perfect and just needed a light trim and no frills. I also mentioned i wore my hair both straight and wavy. Told her I air dried it and it was always good. The girl noted my original cut (which was awesome) and said she would follow it ... instead she started razor cutting. I told her i did not like razoring and she insisted that it was too heavy. It looks stringy, hideous lifeless and awful now and will take forever to grow out. The sides and top are fuzzy and thin. It will barely hold a curl and is frizzy...maddening. i tried to straighten it and it looks limp and ugly. The cut is uneven and clumpy. Air drying looks awful. I will now be wearing my hair in a bun (that is half the size it was a week ago) until this grows out. I am furious beyond words. Listen to your clients when they say no. I knew what my hair was like. Now its awful :(Update: the manager was very kind and compassionate and gave me my money back but this does not fix this atrocity. My hair is soo sparse. It could take 1-3 years to fully get my thick hair back and cutting it ahorter wont help as its thin everywhere:( Maybe she should have offered clip in hair extensions.

I was yesterday at FISH salon. I explained to the hairdresser that Im growing my hair from short to bob and it is really hard and extremely difficult and that I just want my hair to be cut on the neck and a strait line to be formed on the back and NOT TO TOUCH anything else. She said she understood and I should take off my glasses. She chopped my hair short! not bob - SHORT like a man! needless to say Im devastated, beyond belief. After so much talk that I want to grow it and I was almost at the end of growing that took me 9 months! I havent taken any photos during this period as I hated my hair. I am again almost at the beginning.Salon is beautiful and clean and staff if friendly including that hairdresser. She did offer free cut, which I didnt take. I would give thousands of dollars to have my hair back I dont want a free cut. In deed, I dont want any cut at all, for a while now....Ill get my husband to cut my hair on the back only, much safer.

Been going to fish for about a year now and have never been dissapointed. My hair stylist is Carlos, defiantly a perfectionist which is something I always appreciate when someone is doing my hair. His attention to detail is incredible and I always leave with EXACTLY what I want (with some suggestions from him). He is absolutely amazing making sure Im taken care of from the second I walk into the doors until the moment I leave (one time he got a little colour on my sweater and he washed it twice while I was there). I highly recommend Fish Hair salon and especially Carlos! I get compliments on my hair daily!Thanks!

The offered the best service I could ask for! I left one day with a hairstyle I wasnt crazy about (it was a misunderstanding, it wasnt my style - short messy bob that was layered and raised in the back) and I casually mentioned it to the secretaries I wasnt supper happy about it. Well, later that day I got a call and they offered a free of charge consultation and appointment with one of their even more experienced hair stylist. I eventually came a month later for a trim, and they amazingly offered the full cut free of charge! My hair looked amazing! They remembered me, the issue I had and offered such great service even though I showed up much later after their phone call, and Ive been returning since! They truly are an above and beyond and professional hair salon. Thank you Fish :)

Ive gone here twice now and the first time was the best experience Id had getting my hair cut. The second time was the same great procedure but an unwanted result. I had a picture on hand that my hair could have been modeled after but in the end my hair was cut too short. When I explained this I was told that what was in the picture would have been too long, unmanageable and there wouldve been hair going everywhere. If that were true I should have been told that when I showed the picture and in any case it was the customers decision that should have been honoured. The haircut I got isnt a bad one and its one that I can definitely work with, just not what I would have liked.

Review β„–78

Was hoping to get a good hair cut this October, turned out anything but - used a razor instead of scissors and when I mentioned how cutting my hair like that would make it frizzy as it grows out I got a story on how its not the razor its how you cut it, the stylist got spunky and basically stopped cutting my hair went straight to drying so I have tuffs of hair in the back and no tapering on the top (I own a bowl cut). Asked for some low lights to emphasize some strong whites and now I have an all over blue. Then the stylist used a code word with the girl at the till and proceeded to charge me $187.00 for extremely short hair & highlights - ouch. Worst experience Ive had since I went to CITRUS in Vancouver.

Big props to Duon! The first time I went in to have my hair coloured I didnt like it because it was too light. I was nervous about going back because I felt bad about making a big deal out of it. She was so nice, and so happy to have me back. I really felt like she wanted me to be happy with my hair. After 2 more (free) touch-ups I love the colour of my hair now! The people at fish are so kind and welcoming, I will definitely be back.

Yasmine is an amazing colourist. Absolutely talented and knows how far she can take your hair.. By far the best colourist I have been to in over 10 years.

AMAZING experience at Fish! I had always heard nothing but good things, but finally got the guts to go and try it out for myself. Yasmine did my colouring, and I must say its probably the best job Ive had done at a salon. She was super attentive to what I wanted, and made great suggestions so that I came out even happier than I thought I would. Carlos did my cut, and kept me laughing the entire time. He was nothing but nice and an incredible stylist. At the end of the day, Fish was worth spending the money on because unlike many other pricey salons in Victoria, they actually do what you want them to. Cant wait for my next appointment!

I had the most amazing experience today at FISH! I called this morning and asked if there was any opening for today around 3, there was two stylist available and I decided to go with Julie. I was informed of fee, what was included, location and parking!When I entered the brightly lit, exposed brick reception area, I was impressed to be greeted by two women apon entry with a warm hello. When I approached the counter, I explained I was quite a bit early but I was here to see Julie, who the woman I who welcomed me was! I explained how excited I was to go for my first asymetric pixy cut, to which she shared my excitement for. She offered me tea, or water and said she needed 10 mins or so to get ready .While i waited i looked at their merchandise and was surprised to see what they offer, beautiful artisan items, oil, beauty and hair products and jewlery. The products were plentiful but not overwhelming, tastefully displayed .When Julie came and got me, she took me to the shampoo bar for a consultation. I have never felt so heard by a stylist before. We talked and discussed my options, she looked at my inspiration and was compassionate about my concerns. I told her i had not visited the salon before, that this was my first short cut and just how excited I was. She offered to take before and after pictures for me to capture the moment.Then came the scalp massage..... BLISS.When we got to her station it was clean and well organized, and chair was comfortable.She proceeded to cut, shave, razor whatever magic it was, to my hair , while still carrying on a energetic, honest and thoughtful conversation. She spent time, asked for input, and shared in my enthusiasm .This has been the BEST experience I have ever had at a salon.I am booking in for color next week ;)

I have been coming in to Fish Hair Salon for about a year now and have never had a bad experience. I went into the salon on a whim my first time after my other stylist had moved away, and had the great fortune to have Carlos cut my hair. I have been going back to him ever since. He does wonders with hair, and is a blast to chat with.

I got my hair fixed at Fish Hair Salon after I got a wonky cut from a different salon. Sandra did a good job and made sure I was happy with my hair.

My husband has recently discovered this place and is finally happy with his haircut. We found it really problematic to find a decent hair salon with reasonable pricing here in Victoria.

Came in looking for a specific cut, all seemed well until the dresser just did a trim and said I was done. I asked if I was getting the cut, and they had completely forgotten. After all was said and done, I got a 10 minute cut that was very choppy, not what I wanted.
