Freestyle Salon

Wanted so bad to like this salon because it’s so close to my house but all 3x I tried... my highlights were orange and disappointing. Fortunately I found a another local salon who does a wonderful job, worth the extra 10 minutes of driving. I’ll never go back to freestyle. I find the owner a bit rude on top of it and their hours are very difficult to work with.

Had my nose pierced here and although Nic was very nice, I’m not sure how long he has been piercing. Everything was clean and sterile but his hands were incredibly shaky and the jewelry was already inserted on the needle before piercing through as opposed to having the plastic cannula to insert jewelry after the poke. It is at a very steep angle instead of straight through the nostril. We were unable to get the piercing in and I went else where to have jewelry installed the next day. I was not charged for the piercing and Nic was very nice and apologetic but I would make sure you research your desired piercing before going.

Got my hair styled for my wedding, and it was the most beautiful hairstyle I have ever had. Service was amazing and so friendly. I highly recommend using their services to anybody and everybody. It is worth it to stop just to get your hair done here.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE FREESTYLES! Renee, the owner, has done an amazing job at making a beautiful and relaxing salon! She is so amazing with my hair because it has a mind of its own, and I can even bring my new baby daughter with me to appointments and it’s like free babysitting when the other stylists don’t have clients! An added plus and funny experience to tell my daughter later on in life is that she was breastfeeding while Mommy was getting her yeti legs waxed! Renee was so chill and always a blast! Would 100% recommend if you’re looking for a fun salon that is warm and friendly! The stylists here treat me like family, and that is just something that you can’t find anywhere else!

I’ve been going to this place for almost 15 years and won’t go anywhere else,

I am a happy client of Freestyle Salon, and have been for more than 10 years. These ladies (particularly Renee) are professional, talented, and caring artists. I have had my hair cut, coloured, and cared for over many years and through many styles. Renee has a natural ability to cut hair. Her expert use of the scissors is to be admired. I can honestly say (even after driving to Vic for many years for a good cut) that you will not find better in the Cowichan Valley.

Very disappointed. Had my second colour and cut with the owner, who to her defense has not been well lately. You know how it is - you get home and you see the cut/colour in your own lighting, and I see that one side is about an inch longer than the other. So I call, and very lightly explain the problem and ask to come in to have it evened out. A few days later I go in, about 10 minutes early, and after 25 minutes Rene looks over at me and says she'll be another half hour. Can I come back? It was her snotty tone - the You are being a Pain in my $%%" tone that made me almost lose it. I had to get someone to look after my kids to come back for HER mistakes. I felt SOOOOOO uncomfortable - like i had done something wrong. If you're not well - take more time off - don't take it out on your customers. Never going back."

Christa is so talented - she gave me the best haircut and nicest blonde highlights that I have had in YEARS! She really listens and executes exactly what you want. (And she accomplished in 2 hours what has usually taken other stylists 3.5 hours to do...so nice not to spent an entire 1/2 day in the salon). I have already recommended Christa to others. I am so happy to have found such a great stylist close by in my new neighborhood. The salon is very nice, and also has a cute boutique.

Ashlyn is amazing!! She saved my hair. I had previously had a terrible dye job at a different salon and my hair was all sorts of colours. It is so much better now and exactly what I wanted cut and colour wise.

They're always great to go to. They're kid friendly and my kids are almost always happy to go in. Ariel has always done a great job with my son. He's autistic and she's always worked with his needs. I can't say enough about the kind and wonderful ladies that work there. Renee is my go to for my hair cuts and I can't imagine going anywhere else. She always tries to accommodate me and my terrible schedule. Great place and where else can you go in town to get a haircut, a beer and assless chaps. My whole family goes there and we will continue to do so! I highly recommend these wonderful ladies!
