    I have been a client at Hair by Banks for two years now, and I am always incredibly happy with the results. Cynthia is very talented and always able to bring my hair style visions and inspirations to life! I’ve always had long, natural blonde hair, and when I moved to Toronto, I wanted a change. Now, I have a shorter cut with highlights that give me a glow I absolutely love, while still looking natural! I highly recommend Cynthia to everyone I know who is looking for a color specialist! Thank you, Hair by Banks!

    Hair By Banks is by far my favourite salon in Canada. Brittney Banks is absolutely amazing with blondes and hair extensions (10+ years experience). She's the only stylist I have ever been excited to go see and I trust that she hand picked only the best stylists to work alongside her. Hair By Banks even has a patio & a liquor license, how awesome?!

    I can’t say enough amazing things about my hair cut and style with Martin! He took the time to understand what I was looking for and really factored in the level of styling I do (or lack of) on a day to day basis so that I would end up with the most effortless cut that gives me volume. I feel like I really understand my hair now and I loved the products used during the styling so much I purchased them and have never looked back. I can really see the benefits they are having on my hair to keep it healthy. Just so appreciative of the time and effort put into my appointment and I really enjoyed my first visit. I will certainly be booking in the future. Thank you Martin!

Over the years, she has worked wonders, restoring my hair's health while still keeping my gray covered and looking beautiful.

Her passion for what she does shines through in everything she does, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about her clients. I always leave feeling refreshed, confident, and beautiful!

    Best salon in Toronto, hands down!! From the second you walk in it feels welcoming and comfortable (sometimes salons can be awkward and daunting but this is the complete opposite!!). Always greeted with a smile and a big hello. Been going to Hair By Banks for years now and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Love the vibe and all the stylists are incredibly talented!

    Their patio in the summer feels like a little oasis and I love how they serve drinks so it feels like a little vacay every time I get my hair done. Nothing like a little self-care with a side of Prosecco ;)

    As someone who has always been cautious about trusting anyone with my hair, I was thrilled to discover this gem through a friend of a friend. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. Non pretentious and down to earth vibes, that instantly put me at ease. The refreshing mimosas on the private rooftop patio are a plus in my books too!!

    Brittney Banks, the incredibly talented salon owner, has a true gift for her craft. She has perfected my blonde and shaped my hair and extensions flawlessly every single time. Her attention to detail and ability to understand exactly what I want is priceless! I always leave feeling like a million bucks!

    BRITTANY IS THE BEST

    ★★★★★

    I went to get my hair cut in May by Brittany because my friend Veronica goes to her, and Veronica's hair is amazing. I loved Brittany because she is kind and very calm. And the cut was just what I wanted. But, my hair always grows out and looks unshaped and frizzy after about 3 months. It is now October. Normally I would never go without a cut this long but I have been busy. Guess what? My hair cut still looks awesome! After growing in for five months. Brittany is the best. My only advice is book Brittany early, because she is super popular.

    BOOK WITH BRITTANY
