Salon Gamme

Giving 2 stars because the owner Malina seems like a genuinely good person and I was refunded for this mess... However, my hair is absolutely butchered after having Alexandra work on it. I entered the salon with 3 years of previous highlight work from a higher end salon in a different country. They would always foil my hair and gradually got me to a nice level of blonde. I really struggled to find a good salon since moving to Montreal and put A LOT of research (and trust) into google reviews. I finally settled on Gamme. At this point I had about 1 year of regrowth to give my hair some time from damaging it further from the bleach. When I entered the salon my hair was down to my lower back and when I left the salon it was barely past my shoulders and half the thickness. Instead of foiling my hair Alexandra decided to apply bleach all over my head completely... no technique, no foils.. just bleach all over like any of us could do at home. She went over all previously highlighted hair and just bleached away. The whole time she seemed more concerned with talking about gossip in her life rather than focusing on my hair. I thought she was friendly so I didn't mind chit chatting but when I realized she was not even paying attention or caring about my hair it started to annoy me. After 8 hours of bleaching/toning/drying my hair, the great reveal was a mess of yellow pee blonde roots to about 4 inches down for it to change to a harsh line dividing it into a copper orange color. A harsh line dividing a mix of 5 different colors which all are muddy and ugly. Of course she was smiling and pretending like it's just part of the process, I voiced that I didn't like the spots in my hair, her solution was to tone it a second time to the orange color to make it match, I said no I don't want that color and she told me she would tone it a blonde that's neutral and would make it match but she wanted to cut it first. After chopping off a bunch of hair as well as more than 6 inches of my hair was falling she tried to throw a towel over the hair on the floor to hide it and she was throwing the hair that was coming out from my head onto her brush to the side to hide that too. Then she tones it and kept suggesting that I should let her put curls in my hair even though I didn't want curls. She says she wanted to do it for her instagram story (but now I know it was to try to hide the mismatch colors). At the end I could visibly see it was and orange mess, I still paid out of pure shock but even my optimistic boyfriend couldn't cover his pure shock of why anyone in a salon would do that to someone's hair and let them walk out like that. When I got home I realized she even cut the hair uneven, she never parted it down the middle when she did cut it, it was more like her chopping and hacking away in a panic to hide her botched job. I honestly sit here wondering how this girl ever became a hairstylist. I would never suggest anyone to go to her if you go to this Salon. I feel bad leaving the review because Malina was so nice but I CANNOT let anyone go through this. At minimum it'll cost me thousands to fix but mostly it's cost me not being able to go out in public or feel good about myself, years of hair growth lost and probably will have to go back to dark hair that I can't dye blonde for years as well. Worst hair experience of my life. LAST TWO PHOTOS ARE BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT

I visited Salon Gamme after finally getting fed up with the constant root touch-ups and decided it was time to fully embrace the grey—and I’m so glad I did! After chatting with the stylist (who totally got what I was going for), I trusted her suggestion and let her work her magic. The result? Even better than I imagined! My friends couldn’t stop complimenting the new look. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the whole experience was relaxed and enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend!

My stylist Minh was super super attentive to my needs , third time having my hair done with. blonde highlights and he delivers every time ! He made my hair feel super soft, looking fresh and healthy and glowing ready for my wedding day in 3 weeks time . I can’t thank him enough for his special care and attention. Highly recommend Minh for anyone wanting to do any colour treatment he is the guy for the job !!
