  • 1/5 Arshpreet k. 9 months ago on Google
    I went there for my hair highlights with marilinda, i told her before start that i dont want platinum i want caramel and also i showed her the picture. but at the end they turned my dark black hair into platinum white. When i ask the receptionist about the colour she tries to cover their mistake by saying its only her hair texture. This is very unacceptable and unprofessional. The receptionist said us that if we not gonna pay they going to call security on us. They did turned my hair looks ridiculous and charged me and tried to abuse me saying calling security on us. I paid the full amount and their manager were on phone who insisted the receptionist to let us pay. They didnt applogies for their fault of making my hair white but try to being rude on us. This is very sad to see big brands do this to their customers for sake of money. They dont care about your looks they only care about money. At the end she charged me full amount and didnt appologise for their fault. I am never going to back in this place. Stay away from fraud guys.

  • 2/5 Jackie at Club I. 1 year ago on Google
    Sadly was not a great experience this time. I did go in for a larger chop of a cut - about 7 inches off- and I have curly hair. I trusted my stylist to take the lead, but the cut given did not take my curl texture and shape into account at all. Left with a really awful cut for my hair with shape at all. Really upsetting- easily the worst shaping I have had. I never straighten my hair, so the cut I got absolutely does not work for my life. I also received a colour- but it ended up being extremely far off from what I requested. It’s insanely dark, flat, and has no dimension to it- I asked for an mahogany towards purple and got an almost black. I’m really upset and disappointed. I have had nice colours and cuts in the past- but this experience likely means I won’t be going back.

    Probably the best haircut I've ever had. I've been doing fashion colour for the past few years, but this was the best. Olivia was fantastic! Brought in one picture of a style and one of the colour profile I was looking for, and she absolutely nailed it. I loved the extra touch of bringing me dye 'swatches' to let me have some say in the colour choice. I've gotten nothing but positive feedback, and have nothing but positive feedback to leave in return. Loving the #charlottehornets #mermaidlook Thanks for those #mostersincvibes

    Worst experience ever . Went to get my hair colour done and my hair stylist did money highlights which i ended my not liking. I was scheduled to fix it . I went for my appointment and ended up with racism. My hair stylist was sick someone else did my hair . The whole staff was so rude there body language made me so uncomfortable. Instead of washing my hair they wiped it with towel and i went home colour with my hair and stains on my face . The way they seeing me off was very uncomfortable. And don’t think so they would done this all with their community. Everyone should be respected equally and treated fairly.

    I don't remember her name but you must have it on record. I was there at 2p on June 22. I had two photos on my phone with an idea of what I wanted similar to what I have done every summer. She said she would use clippers or some instrument I associate with men's hair cuts. That never happened before and I have been going to this location since 2014. She was pleasant but asked so many questions I should have been suspicious, whereas others have just gone ahead and cut according to the photo with maybe a comment or two. When I paid I realized I had a very junior person which I did not want. But I know how it happened. A month ago I dropped in for a bang trim and she did it. Fine. She wanted me to book my next appointment which I never do in advance but I relented. So I got her again for the full cut. Really disappointed. I feel lopsided. I'll be wearing a cap or hat all summer.

    I grew up with terrible experiences getting my hair cut. This is the first place that has made me feel welcome, comfortable and that knows exactly what I want and helps me achieve my hair goals. Anna, my hair dresser, is absolutely amazing! She has taken care of my hair for over the last year and has such a kind soul. The space also has a very positive vibe and you can really tell people enjoy not only being there but working there as well. Thank you guys for all that you do! You are such an amazing team!!

    Bailee is the best hair stylist I have ever been to - hands down!! She is the sweetest and we have fun at every appointment. She has transformed my hair and I will recommend her to everyone!

    I had a regular person who cut my hair there who is great. Had a hair cut from a different hairdresser and it is the worst haircut I have ever had in my life - it was as if she didn't care at all what she did to my hair. She completely ruined the haircut I had grown my hair out for, including buzzing the entire back of my head in an uneven manner (which wasn't supposed to be buzzed) - having a large patch of longer hair in the back of my head, which my husband had to buzz upon arriving home. See pictures. She did not show me the back of my head before leaving, as hairdressers have in the past - I assume because of what she had done.

    Excellent experience here with Bailee! She gave me the copper balayage of my dreams. She’s professional, kind, and passionate about her work. The salon is bright, clean, and welcoming. I would recommend going here, especially to see Bailee!

    Last week I had the most lovely experience. This salon is so fresh and welcoming and my stylist Bailee was such a doll! She is so sweet and very easy to talk to. She did an excellent job toning and cutting my hair, i was very happy with it. I left feeling relaxed and refreshed, overall 10/10 experience. Thank you so much Bailee!

    Ever since I met josh a year 1/2 ago, no one else cuts my hair. I have very long hair that I don’t colour, I only get healthy haircuts for long term maintenance and after I leave Josh’s chair, my hair is beautiful for months. Sometimes I wish I bleached/coloured my hair because of his talent! If you want to feel great and look good…BOOK WITH JOSH! (Also the kindest soul I’ve ever met)

  • 5/5 Danika D. 4 months ago on Google
    Got my hair washed, treated, cut, and styled by Josh! He did such an AMAZING job. We worked so hard to ensure that my hair looked and felt healthy all while still leaving me with so much length. Highly recommend going here and asking for Josh!

    I’ve been going to Heather Harroun since 2017. As a blonde I know how important getting the right stylist to do your colour is! I am so lucky my first appointment back in 2017 was with Heather! She creates the most beautiful, dimensional and healthy blonde I’ve ever had each time I sit in her chair. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair than Heather. I’ve recently moved back to NB from Halifax and I will continue to drive 4 hours just so Heather can do my hair. Thank you so much Heather, you truly are the best :)

    I have had the pleasure of going to Adrianne for all my esthetics needs for a while now. She is amazing at her job and really makes you feel so comfortable during your services with her. I always look forward to my appointment and always leave in such a great mood! She is the best!

  • 5/5 Ashlee B. 7 months ago on Google
    Huge shout out to Adrianne! Pedicure done by her was flawless and made me even more excited to head to Mexico! It was such a treat being able to chat with her during the pedi, she’s so down to earth and such a beautiful personality. Highly recommended 🤩

  • 5/5 Hope Y. 6 months ago on Google
    Adrianne is the only reason why I go to Brilliante! She’s super friendly and it makes my appointments feel like a relaxing time with a friend! I absolutely love the work she does, and how she makes sure every little detail is perfect ✨ I would recommend her to anybody that’s looking for a friendly esthetician.

  • 5/5 Sarah G. 7 months ago on Google
    Adrianne always does an absolutely amazing job! My nails look flawless every time and I get so many compliments on them! It’s been nothing but a great experience each time.

  • 5/5 Kim C. 5 months ago on Google
    I’m very happy with my stylist, Olivia!! I’m always pleased with the results! She takes pride in what she does and I enjoy checking out her work on IG! You should too!! Great atmosphere, beautiful salon and friendly staff!!

  • 5/5 Shelley D. 4 months ago on Google
    I had a wonderful cut and style by Olivia J. To say she puts her heart and soul into her job is not an exaggeration. She loves what she does and it shows. I always walk out with the biggest smile and feel great after she does my hair. I highly recommend Olivia to everyone I know.

  • 5/5 Sophia B. 4 months ago on Google
    It was a really great experience! My hair dresser Dylan was super knowledgeable and did an amazing job! My hair has never looked so good. I would highly highly recommend

  • 5/5 Jenn H. 7 months ago on Google
    Brilliante is a wonderful salon. I go to Adrienne for all my eyebrow needs, she does an exceptional job on laminating, tinting and waxing by brows. I was initially just getting my brows waxed, but asked Adrienne for suggestions on how I could make my brows look more full, she suggested lamination and tinting and I’ve never looked back!!! She’s an eyebrow artist, can’t say enough good things. I always look forward to my appointment and leave feeling great. The reception staff is also very friendly and helpful. See you next week!!

  • 5/5 Bethany I. 1 year ago on Google
    Had such an amazing experience here! The staff were great and Josh my stylist was so wonderful!! The attention to detail and professionalism he had in his approach to colour was really impressive and I knew right away I would be in good hands! I absolutely LOVE the finished product, so if you’re looking to get your hair coloured, he is definitely the guy to go to!

  • 5/5 heidi a. 11 months ago on Google
    Chose to come to Brillante to see Josh based solely on these Google Reviews and my expectations were exceeded! Josh was able to transform my hair to a beautiful blonde colour by using highlights. I haven't had a hair cut that I love as much as this one in years! Also, Josh uses a special blowout technique that made my hair bouncy and voluminous and I just loved it! Josh also just has a great personality, making it a fun experience when you have to sit in a chair for hours. Thanks Josh! I will be sure to come back and recommend!

  • 5/5 tonya h. 10 months ago on Google
    I highly recommend booking with Josh for anything hair-related, especially folks dyeing their hair! He takes great consideration to the quality of the hair and set me up with a sustainable plan to go platinum blonde— He’s gonna tell you like it is so you can actually decide what’s most important to you, and made a 5hour session fly by like a breeze. This is the best my hair has ever looked or felt after going through a round of bleach and it’s all cause of him!

  • 5/5 Emma P. 8 months ago on Google
    If you are looking for a wash & blowout, Josh is your guy. Incredible service, knowledgable, extremely talented, and wonderful energy. He uses multiple round brushes, and keeps them in your hair as they cool down, giving incredible volume and curl. I can't wait to see Josh again!

  • 5/5 Danielle C. 1 year ago on Google
    I drove in to the HSC from Bridgewater for a hair appt but the hairstylist I booked with became unavailable (for reasons out of her control). Nicole C. stepped in so that I could still get my hair cut and she did an incredible job with a tricky request. It was so appreciated and I'm so happy with the cut - I will absolutely be going back to Nicole.

  • 5/5 Monica T. 1 year ago on Google
    Top notch professionals did an amazing job on my students' hair for their Prom

  • 5/5 Victoria D. 1 year ago on Google
    As always I have walked away with a huge smile feeling absolutely 💯 happy! Holly is my gem! She cheers me up when I need it most and listens when I need an ear. Shared laughs with Holly, David, Mario and front desk. I just love this place and the emoyees ROCK! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR A GREAT EXPERIENCE 👍 👌 🙏 💖

  • 5/5 Caitlyn A. 1 year ago on Google
    I called the day before and they were able to squeeze me in for a last minute haircut appointment. Lily was my hairdresser and she is the sweetest! She gave me her own personal opinion with the style I wanted and took her time to perfect my hair. I am soso inlove with how my hair turned out and will definitely rebook with Lily!

  • 5/5 Ruth A. 1 year ago on Google
    Hannah was professional proficient friendly I left feeling revived relieved and refreshed after my facial ...she generously accommodated the extra things I needed without hesitation I would definitely recommend this salon/ esthetics business to any one looking for friendly and professional service. You will find there are smiling faces who appreciate the needs of their customers and are able to provide the needed service at reasonable cost and lovely results thank you ladies

  • 5/5 Hailey M. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been seeing Paige for my hair for a number of years now and I’m never disappointed in her work. She takes the time to ensure that I am happy when I leave her chair and is always excited to try something new with me. I don’t anticipate seeing someone else anytime soon. :)
