????? EXPERIENCE!!Sierra absolutely TRANSFORMED my hair into exactly what I wanted. My hair was dark and dull, and after getting my hair cut elsewhere (mistake!) I needed to put it in the hands of professionals. She fit me into an appointment at the last minute and gave me exactly the balayage look I was hoping for. My face is visibly brighter because of it and the compliments have been endless. I expressed that I wanted a balayage that I could grow out because as a student I don’t have much disposable income to go to the salon often - she completely understood and absolutely killed it! Sierra also recommended products to use in after care to keep my hair looking healthy at home. I was in a bit of a rush and didn’t have enough time to have her cut my hair and fix what the other salon left me with, but I’ve already booked an appointment for next week with her to complete the absolutely perfect hair glow up ✨ Sierra thank you for giving my hair life again!!!

I've been getting colour services with Marie-Eve for 5 years now. We've gone through many hair colour transformations together, from coloured/marbled roots, to all over fashion colours - and since I'm now living 4 hours away from Toronto - we decided to work in a nice balayage over several appointments so I can deal with the grow-outs (up to 16 weeks out). Despite the long distance travel, I still manage to make it down here and treat myself to some Marie-Eve magic. The salon itself has great energy, lovely aesthetic, and the staff are really kind. It's a great experience every time!Services: Hair highlighting

There is no one else I trust with my hair.I have been a client of Gillian’s for 5 years and have followed her wherever she goes because I know I'll receive top-notch service and walk out feeling fabulous.She seamlessly combines her knowledge with her artistic flair, leaving me thrilled with the results after each visit. Her warm and welcoming personality matched with the awesome atmosphere at Hair by Banks makes it feel more like a visit than an appointment.I highly recommend her!

Loved the chill atmosphere of the salon. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Martin gave me an incredible French bob. He was incredibly knowledgeable about how to style the look using my natural hair texture.Services: Hairstyling

I have been a client at Hair by Banks for a few years, and every visit leaves me happy and excited about the treatment I have recieved.The studio itself is clean, spacious and beautiful, and when the weather is right they have a cozy patio to chill at.Whichever stylist is at the front desk, I am always greeted with a friendly and helpful welcoming. The owner has great banter with the other stylists, and it really is a great vibe to be around the whole team.I felt compelled to write this review particularly becuase of the exceptional services I have recieved from Martin. I have been a client of Martin's for two years, and I have never had healthier, stronger, and more beautiful hair than I have under his care. He takes the time to listen and understand your needs, and is very articulate and prescriptive towards the treatment he provides. Martin has offered suggestions around hair care and styling to me, and his approach and drive for excellency has given me utmost trust in his skills. He is truly a professional at what he does, and on top of this he has great taste, so I always leave with a great style.Not only this, Martin is very personable and enjoyable to talk with, and it truly is such a treat whenever I get my hair done. It feels like I'm hanging out with a friend when I am there, and this makes the time go by. I owe a huge thank you to Martin for the confidence he provides me in my life and appreciate the Hair by Banks team for the fun, comfortable, and welcoming space they provide.Services I have received: Cut, ombre, balyage, highlights, gloss treatment

I’ve been lucky to be taken care of by Marie-Eve Faucher for over 6 years now and every time I have an incredible experience. I have naturally dark hair like her and she helps me have so much fun with creative colours like blue, purple, green, pink, often a mix of all of them! My hair is super healthy and glossy and a huge part of my look and I regularly get stopped on the street and asked where my hair is done, and I say it’s the work of the talented Marie-Eve!!

I’m a client of Cody’s at Hair by Banks & Co. and he is absolutely AMAZING! I don’t trust a lot of hairstylists when it comes to my hair but I know with Cody, I’m always going to leave with a beautiful end product. He’s an amazing colourist and knows how to trim my dead ends just enough, while still keeping my length. He can also blow dry my curly hair pin straight without using a flat iron, which no other stylist has ever been able to do. I would highly recommend Cody to anyone in search of a new hairstylist.Services: Hairstyling

This Salon is incredible honestly. Not only is the vibe very friendly and chill, but the staff are all so wonderful. You can tell the people who work here actually like working here. Martin is such an amazing stylist/colourist! My hair was very damaged and the colour was looking pretty awful and Martin walked me through my options, making sure along the way that my hair would remain healthy and looking beautiful. I honestly learned more about my hair today than I have in my entire life. If you are looking for top quality in every way, please go here! This is my new go to place and Martin is my new permanent hairdresser. Thank you Hair by banks & co! I appreciate you all <3Services: Hairstyling

For years I was going to salons and always disappointed with the experience. Could never find a consistent stylist that I wanted to give my time and money to — and then I found Hair by Banks!Every appointment is one I look forward to. You walk in and it feels like home. The staff are the nicest around, the venue is comfy and stunning, and spilling all my tea to Brittany Hergott while she turns my head the most beautiful shade of blonde is my fav.I constantly recommend this spot, book the appointment!xoxoServices: Blowouts

I’m your typical indecisive blonde that has never felt truly happy with my hair until I went to Hair by Banks!I’ve never been so happy with my hair and also really appreciated the stylist understanding my personality and advising me to do what was best!If you’re a blonde and have been boppin’ around Toronto looking for a stylist that’s right for you check out Hair by Banks and specifically ask for Brit! Just make sure you book in at least 5-6 months because she really is your specialist!Services: Hairstyling

Not only have I had a phenomenal experience from day one. The team here is so welcoming and attentive and ahead of the game. I came here after my previous stylist moved to this salon and was unable to see her (her schedule was packed), she commended another team member to me to ensure I was taken care of. Not only have I now been seeing my stylist Martin for the last 7 months, and am over the moon with his services and work. I constantly have different idea and changes from one appointment to the next - he has always been so positive and ready to do whatever I throw his way. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t walked out of here with exactly what they came in for.Brit should be proud of her staff and the environment she has created here. Not many places have such an honest upbeat vibe - and it’s genuine.Not only would I recommend this place, I don’t know many companies that compare to it. If you’re ever in doubt, pop in and ask a question . There is always somewhere here to help! (Plus the aesthetics of the place is so unique, relaxed and fun)Service: Hairstyling
