Designer's Edge Hair Salon

I have been going to Lalin for my haircuts for years! This is a new location for her but I am more than happy to go the extra distance to have her cut my hair. She is very talented and not afraid to offer suggestions on getting the style you want. The salon is nice, spacious, and is easily accessible. I will be going to Designer's Edge for all my haircuts!

I am giving this salon 3 stars because Lalin is kind, very responsive, patient and the salon was very clean during COVID-19.I was getting my engagement photos done so was very nervous about visiting this salon for the first time. However, my experience wasn't the best. After my 4+hour appointment, a day later I noticed the highlights didn't go up to my root as much as I wanted and had asked to come back to fix this. Lalin asked for photos as proof, was accommodating and took me in to fix this. A couple weeks later, I put my hair in a half-up/half-down style (testing hairstyles for the shoot), I noticed patches of root that weren't touched (see first photo below). I also noticed I still had so many split ends after getting my haircut. I had so many layers that weren't touched because my shorter layers were still the same length as when I came in, so not even sure I got a proper hair cut? I just didn't want to go back again at this point so I had to find another salon to get this fixed. I paid $300 at Designer's Edge. I understand the time it took to do this and the quality of the highlights but the overall experience for me was no where near to what my experience was in downtown Toronto...for the exact same price. Not to mention having to spend even more at the new salon for getting a proper haircut and fixing the highlights underneath and throughout to match. I attached a 'before' photo from the salon and an 'after' photo of my engagement photo hair from the fixes at another salon - you can see the difference.

Fast, efficient, and affordable! Lalin is awesome at what she does! Would 1000% recommend. 5 star rating is not enough.

My friend recommended me this place and I got my hair done by Lalin. She was amazing and spent her time coloring and cutting my hair. I’d definitely come back and will recommend her to my friends for sure. Love my new hair style!

Designer's Edge may be a new hair salon, but I have been getting my hair done with Lalin, the owner, for years now and I have followed her from her previous location in downtown Toronto to Aurora.The establishment is beautifully modern, clean, brightly lit and welcoming. There are mirrors everywhere, lots of stylist stations, and products that line the walls.Lalin herself is extremely talented, friendly, and patient. When I needed a haircut for a wedding that I was attending, she was more than happy to suggest the best way to style my hair, give me tips on maintaining the colour, and explain to me why I should use some tools vs other tools. She was very patient in telling me in detail how to recreate these looks at home, and very accommodating to my questions.She is also very knowledgeable in her craft, and forthcoming on her stance on things like bleaching and perms. She is also upfront with the price of certain procedures, and takes pride in her work.

What an amazing hair stylist! I called last minute at lunch for an afternoon appointment with Lalin. She was extremely friendly and even said she would stay past the closing time to finish my hair.She was very kind and you can see she has a lot of experience working with hair, plus she loves what she does! I was so impressed and beyond happy with the results of my balayage (just look at the picture!) and Lalin charges for a fraction of the price you'd get in other salons in or around Toronto.I will definitely recommend her to you, my friends and family, and anyone else who wants to get their hair done! Lalin will definitely be my go-to for getting my hair done in the future.Note: she also has a lot of experience doing men's hair cuts! :)

I picked this salon because the reviews were so positive, with good reason. I got a beautiful haircut, balayage and style done and I absolutely love it! Lalin is very meticulous and extremely knowledgeable in her profession. A true gem of a person, I have finally found a great hairdresser. I got lots of positive compliments on my hair! I highly recommend this salon!

I have wanted to write this review since finding Lalin about 7 months ago. I was on the hunt for a new stylist. And after researching many salons in Aurora I can say I’m so thankful I found Lalin. First off she is the sweetest most gentle person who has every worked on my hair and her talent as a stylist is something I have not come across before. When she is doing root touch up she is so precise, not like others who just slap it on. She worked on getting my hair back to what I dreamed of having. I leave so happy after every vist. Lalin listens to what your concerns are and addresses them . I could say so much more but go book appointment you will never be disappointed. ❤️❤️❤️

Lalin is amazing! Came in to take a few inches off and change my cut. I have curly frizzy hair, and she did such a great job with it. Even after my first few washes and blow-dry from home the cut has been looking amazing.On my way out I asked her about balayage, she was honest and helpful and let me know that I'd be wasting money if I did it right now because my roots weren't long enough yet. She suggested I wait a few months and then do it.With my hair specifically, I cannot use thinning shears and needed few layers, she accommodated that beautifully and I will always go back to her in the future.On top of this, she is a great person to chat with!So happy to have found her!!!
