Lean was wonderful and very kind! She took great care of me and my hair. :) She quickly understood the look I wanted to achieve, and took the time to go over options with me so that I could ask questions and make adjustments if needed. I am very happy with the haircut and colour! Thank you Lean <3

As a new downtown resident I visited Metcalfe Hair Design at the suggestion of my mother who has been getting her haircut by owner Lean for a couple of years now. Lean is friendly, talkative, and skilled! As others have mentioned, she was very receptive to what I wanted, made some useful suggestions for my face shape, and was able to seamlessly combine three or four reference photos into a cut that I am regularly complimented on (my mother thinks it is the best style I've ever had, and I've had A LOT). I will definitely be a returning client and encourage anyone to stop by. After two years of COVID, the convoy, and the consequent shift in downtown office culture so many downtown small businesses are facing challenging times - please consider doing your part to support a vibrant downtown by visiting Metcalfe Hair Design!

The owner is a super nice lady and gave me a great haircut at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend 😀👏

Lean / Leanne / Lianne (not sure how to spell her name) was absolutely amazing! It was my first time getting my hair coloured and she did the most beautiful balyage on my brunette hair. She was so friendly and knowledgeable, provided me with aftercare tips. The time flew by. Amazing results that I am happy with for an affordable price! I 100% recommend! Thank you Lianne!

This was my first time getting my hair done in Ottawa and I'm so happy I found this salon. Leanne was very patient and did a wonderful job on covering my grey's as well as adding subtle highlights. The reviews helped me choose this place and I will definitely be back!

Amazing! The hairdresser was so friendly. She cut my hair exactly how I wanted it and framed my face. I can't wait to go back.

Honestly the best hairdresser I have ever went to. I have always had a bad experience with hairdresser bc of how thick my hair is and how it is too much work. This lady made me feel so welcome and pretty, she loved my hair and working on it, never complained and was actually hapy to work with it. I came out of the hair salon so happy and my confidence and love for my hair increased. Truly happy I came here. I also got my eyebrows waxed for the first time because I trusted her and loved the results. I will never recommend this place enough and would give it thousands of stars if I could.

Best hair salon downtown so far!!! It was so quick and my curls looked so good. I'll definitely come back!

Amazing! As someone unfamiliar with downtown, I had a walk-in appointment. The service was excellent and everyone was very kind. I got my eyebrows & upper lip waxed along with a hair cut. Very happy with it all and at a great price.

terrible skill + no wash + no cleaning, the lady blew the hair all over my shirt even I asked her to be careful, and my hair got much worse after her work.. I will not recommend this place!
