Review from Courtney M.

I switched away from Kara's Urban Day Spa (Spring Garden location) when I started to notice the inconsistency of the cuts/colour that I was getting.
Kara's is extremely close to both Dalhousie and St. Mary's universities so they aren't necessarily counting on repeat clientele.
My last time I was at Kara's, the stylist working on me placed the foils too far away from my scalp. When I pointed this out, I was reassured that the colour would be very well blended etc. In other words: don't worry. Upon completion it looked as though my hair had already grown out for at least a month, since the colour was nowhere near the root. Kara's typically costs $120-$150 for cut and colour (for medium length hair). You can get a much more long lasting style and colour at other spas in the city.
Kara's is also ALWAYS extremely busy and sort of cramped. I've always left this location, grateful to be out in the fresh air after inhaling nothing but aerosol products for 2 hours. Going to a salon should be a relaxing experience, not a harried one. For your money, there's much better spa's in Halifax. Try Life Salon or Sykea. -

So I was recently back in at Kara's for a trim and some colour touch-up, nothing too complicated, yet some how the stylist managed to cut my layers way too short and to do a less than great job on my hair. It's now 2 weeks since I got my hair done and my blondish hair is turning an orangish colour and it's quite obvious which parts of my hair were coloured. $100 later, I'm stuck with a haircut I don't like and a colour that will need to be redone by somebody else - Needless to say, I'm quite disappointed and won't be going back anytime too soon.
