Seeing as MeghanH below referenced my experiences in her review, I felt I should put my own two cents out there.!! AWESOME! I am very loyal to a good stylist (or maybe Im too lazy to look for new ones), but I know a great one when I find one. I found one at Redbloom 3-4 years ago now and am still a huge fan. I have been getting my hair cut by Christie R for for ages and even followed her during a hiatious to another salon (thankfully she returned back to this location which is conviently 2 blocks from my house). Christie is so easy to chat with (be it movies, TV, old and new flames or me trying to decide on the color of the week) and does an amazingly consistant cut each and every time. Her colors/highlights also turn out perfect every time I have had to cover the "arctic grey".
The salon atmosphere itself is FUN, easy going, not pretentious and the staff are extremely friendly and professional. Perks include the hot towels after a shampoo (niiiice after a long work day), hand massages while processing color and a shoulder massage while getting going.! The full experience is quite a treat and doesn't feel like a chore to squeeze in during a busy week. The fact it is an Aveda salon is also a huge draw seeing a Shampure is the best shampoo on the planet and the mens styling products have been a fav of mine for 10 years.
At last count I had a partner, a sister, a mother and coworker all going to this location and everyone is a fan...so rest assured - you won't be disappointed. I also just noticed my last cut converting itself to "hockey hair"..so I need to get an appointment lined up asap. -

Finding a new stylist, or leaving your current stylist, as you know is a very complicated process. It's like breaking up with someone, without all the drunk texting.
I enjoyed my previous stylist for the fundamentals but decided to buy a Groupon for Red Bloom based on my brother's experiences with it. There is plenty of parking around the Bridgeland shopping area, so you'll have no trouble there. RedBloom uses AVEDA products and the AVEDA techniques for styling and colouring. You are in for an absolute treat.
Upon entering, a nice receiptionist always welcomes you and offers to take your coat. You change into a nice little robe and are always offered a drink. (Not sure if they serve alcoholic drinks or not)
The waiting area is always nice and clean and you usually aren't waiting there for too long.
I have been seeing Ashley, an intermediate stylist for about a year now. She is a sweet girl with great talent. RedBloom charges by the type of stylist: student, intermediate, advanced and Master. But I imagine anyone you get will be amazing given the way Aveda teaches their students.
While your colour processes, the stylist provides hand massages using Aveda hand cream. So awesome. I feel Ashley always spends a lot of time styling my hair, and ensuring all roots are thoroughly covered. There have been a couple of times when I have requested something that has taken longer than my appointment allowed and Ashley was great to accommodate. There was even a time when we stayed past closing!
When you are all done, they always offer to touch up your make up with some lip gloss and translucent powder. What is better than that for a night out? Nudding!
The price is just below other high end salons I would say. I pay about 170$ for colour and cut. Maybe even less than that.
I highly recommend this salon for men and for women. I've even recommended my mom! It's a family affair down at RedBloom Bridgeland. Which reminds me, I have to make an appointment, the tall men in my office are commenting on my gray hair again :S
p.s. One time when getting my hair done, I saw a stylist shaving skull and crossbones into a young boy's head. It was probably the coolest cut I have ever seen on a child. Even for kids' cuts they are the coolest. -

I've been going to RedBloom ever since I moved to Calgary a couple years ago and into the Bridgeland area.
I've always had great service from reception to the stylists I've seen there. Only once have I had an issue and it was corrected on my next visit(saw a different stylist).
I've always seen a senior stylist there each one I've seen I've appreciated the time they've taken to do a proper consultation plus each time I go in, another quick consultation to check in and see if I'm happy with my previous cut and if there is anything different that should be done or changed.
I look forward to my next visit there.

After several failed last minute attempts for an "emergency" haircut at other high end salons, the RedBloom Salon team came to the rescue! The receptionist graciously fit me in once I explained my situation, calling up to the plate a Jr. stylist one hour before closing. Quickly hoping in a taxi, I arrived a few minutes late due to traffic but it wasn't an issue as they were on point, ready for me! Well Lexie, the 'jr stylist', surrpassed the title as she brought her A-game! Little did I expect the man-pampering I received. Coffee done just right, Aveda men's products, knowledge of their ingredients and applications, and the attention to fine details were what made her such a great stylist. Not to mention her uber bubbly and cute personality! With my hair cut and styled I was primed for what turned out to be an awesome evening! All due to the awesome team at RedBloom!

I came home for Christmas and was in desperate need of a haircut for the holidays. I couldn't wait to get to my usual guy in Vancouver so I asked for some recommendations and heard that Billie at Redbloom was great.
Billie was more than great - she's FANTASTIC! I always get a bob, which happens to be her favorite. Each time I get my hair cut I try to explain that I want the back shorter with lots of shape and volume. This was the first time I was told by a stylist there were two ways she could to the cut: one would keep more length (a request I have for growing my hair for my wedding) and one that would add a ton of volume to my fine hair but would be a bit shorter. I opted for the latter and it is AMAZING! It's what I always wanted but never articulated. I loved that Billie took the time to listen and gave me options. I love her passion for bobs! Plus she is super sweet and I got to eat a delicious cookie that she baked! -

Stylish, modern and vibrant, an expensive treat for a bad hair day. Ultimately I go to Red Bloom for two reasons, my stylist (Brandy) and the environmentally friendly, high performance products of Aveda. Red Bloom is always aware of the latest and greatest trends and when you like to change your hair colour as often as I do, that's a great thing. Recommend a friend and receive $10.00 off of your next hair cut. A high-end salon that can guarantee perfect results at a cost.
