What an awesome, comfortable place! From the minute I walked in, everyone was so friendly. The receptionist was great, and SARAH! Wow! I sat in that chair and just trusted her, which is rare. I am going from dark back to blonde, and there 't a doubt in my mind that she'll be able to without damaging my hair! Our conversation was great, never forced or uncomfortable. I don't like small talk, but I felt like I was just hanging out with a friend and enjoying my night!
Thanks red bloom and thanks Sarah! I might be moving to Edmonton but i am for sure come back when I visit Calgary and not "cheat" on my new stylist! -

I went here based on the yelp reviews and this place did not dissapoint!
My appointment started with a consulation from my stylist. She listened to the direction that I wanted my hair style to go in and got totally excited about it! If she wasn't geniune I have no way of telling - she really made me feel like she understood what I was looking for and was totally on board with the plan!
Overall I ended up with an amazing hair cut and excellent banter with an unpretentious stylist - I will be back.
Thanks for this one yelp, you really nailed it here and I feel like I lucked out with a wicked stylist!
PS- my stylist noticed I was on my cell phone and pointed out that I could check in through yelp and get a freebie!!! Awesome! I totally used it and got a nice little sample, what a nice treat!Listed in: Best of....

We all know it's hard to find a decent hairstylist in a decent salon. After having shopping around for a steady stylist (which included stylists at Eveline Charles, Hennessey and Edges), I trusted one for 3 years at Edges (Crowfoot location). As much as I have trusted and enjoyed my stylist at Edges, I didn't think the salon's service (esp the reception) was worth the drive (30min or more). I looked up a bunch of online reviews and decided to try out Red Bloom. I am happy to report: Red Bloom lives up to its online reviews.
Red Bloom's Downtown location is modern, chic, friendly and offers a lot for your $ in comparison to the above-mentioned salons. The reception is warm, pretty and inviting (you are offered a beverage upon arrival). The styling area is open and well lit. I had an intermediate stylist (prices start at 45$ and up): She attentively listened to me and asked for feedback before cutting/ styling my hair. I was beyond pleased with my wash/ cut. My service ended with a complimentary make-up touch-up (powder, bronzer, lip gloss- all Aveda products). I was offered different Aveda hair products to try/ buy, but by no means did I feel pressured to buy. I have found my new salon close to my home. -

I'd been at my old salon for about five years, and for the past two I'd been feeling dissatisfied. I felt that my stylist had no vision for my hair's future- she couldn't envision how the cut and colour would look a few weeks down the road AND she didn't seem to have a plan for maintaining the look at future visits. I tried my best to vocalize my concerns, but I also hoped that my hairstylist- the hair PROFESSIONAL- would have some expert knowledge and opinions to share. She didn't.
On a whim I decided to try a new salon- Red Bloom. I booked an appointment with one of their most experienced stylists- Heather- and showed up for my first appointment. I told her that I wasn't happy with my hair colour, and that I needed something that could be maintained long-term while still looking healthy and fresh. She agreed that my current highlights were looking dull and washing me out, and suggested that I revert to an all-over color close to my natural shade. That was a look I hadn't had in more than five years! She then discussed what we could do over the next few months to keep it looking fresh, and how we could make it more "summery" come next summer. I was so happy to hear that she was thinking ahead AND that she actually had ideas and opinions, instead of expecting me to tell her what I wanted (I mean, do you tell your doctor what to heal, or your mechanic what to repair?).
I get compliments almost every day on how fresh and healthy my hair looks. The texture feels great- partly due to the colour change and partly, I think, due to the Aveda dye. She also gave my hair a quick cut, and she explained that while my old cut was good, it had some fundamental problems with the shape. By trimming a bit here and there she transformed the shape of my hair. For the past ten years I don't think I've ever worn my long hair down without straightening or curling it (except maybe at the beach!), but with my new cut I feel totally comfortable giving it a quick blow-dry and wearing it as-is, because it works so well with my natural texture. I'm saving so much time in the mornings now!
I can't recommend Heather at Red Bloom enough (ummm... but please don't actually go there, as I hate battling it out for an appointment!). Maybe you could go and try another stylist? -

Update: I've been to RedBloom three times now and each time been very satisfied with my cut. My hair is now much more manageable and I can honestly say I haven't had a bad hair day in 3 months. Best Salon EVAR!! :)
I too like a number of other reviewers was in search of a steady stylist. Have been to nine Salon's in the last 3 years...yes nine and none of them got my haircut quite right. Am I picky about my haircuts, absolutely, I've had enough haircuts that look good the day of the cut only to have them turn into a haystack the next day, to last me a lifetime. I just had mine done at another salon and ended up with half red, half gold hairdo. Now that might not sound bad except the left side was red and the right side was gold!! This was just before I went to my citizenship ceremony, again not such a big deal except this ceremony was being televised!! Well that was the last straw I started googling hairsalons and checking reviews and found RedBloom in my search. I called and got an appointment with Heather. She made me feel at ease straight away by actually listening to what I wanted. Not only listening but giving me ideas on how to make the style I wanted better. I'm sorry you really can't get ANY better than that. Heather managed to though as the cut, well all I can say is 'wow'. My hair looks amazing,is so easy to manage and the colour I love it, natural and fresh. I've had so many compliments (that's how we know we have found 'the" salon...the complimetre :))
I love this salon and was so happy with my cut I booked my next two appointments before I left. Yep they are that good.
See you soon RB & Heather :D -

This salon has the best customer service I've received in quite a while. I was offered a drink as soonas I walked in, and was seated to wait for my stylist. The salon is modern, simple and doesn't have an over powering chemical smell like some can.
They have a great selection of magazines, and not just hair ones for your wait.
My stylist kassandra was SO great. She was chatty, funny, and listened to what I said. She asked me why i chose her, and i told her because the website said she specializes in long hair. This to me is important, since i know a lot of stylists do not like doing long hair (she agreed) she promised me that if I wanted to get my hair to a certain length she would help me achive that, and what would be necessary to do so. She touched up my makeup when i left, and made sure i was happy with my cut, which was nice. The receptionist I encountered while paying was also super friendly and I already made my next appointment (which I never do in the salon). Very happy with this place. There's a reason it gets good reviews. -

This place is a gem. The service is excellent, you're greeted warmly for your appointment, they listen to what you'd like and then actually DELIVER it! What a concept! I'd recommend this salon to anyone. The value is great, the work is great, and street parking is free on Sundays. Check it out!

Ive been a regular client at RedBloom for several years now and have had nothing but the best treatment from my stylist Troy and the staff. i always get a pleasant hello from all staff anytime i'm there and Troy always keeps up with the latest trends to keep me on top of newest styles. I always look forward to my next appointment. I also like how clean and well functioned the salon is and it always seems well maintained and up to date on decoration. great joint!!!
