local B

Alors, j’ai été client de ce salon pendant quelques années. Mon avis porte uniquement sur les coupes pour hommes.
Don’t get me wrong, les coiffeurs sont compétents et vous né ressortirez pas de là avec une mauvaise coupe. Ceci dit, il est facilement possible de trouver un même niveau de compétence pour un prix beaucoup plus doux ailleurs à Montréal (c’est le cas, par exemple, aux ateliers Frank and Oak).
Aussi, le service à l’accueil est inégal d’une visite à l’autre. Ça peut être très expéditif. On né nous met pas nécessairement à l’aise. Finalement, les clients sont appelés à l’interphone lorsque le coiffeur est prêt. Oui, exactement comme à la clinique médicale. Meh.
On ressort de là avec l’impression d’avoir eu un service plus ou moins personnalisé pour un prix assez élevé.

It is my first time getting a haircut at a salon. It was upscale more than I had imagined: appointments, nice sitting area with Wi-​Fi, coffee and tea is offered during the haircut. The reception was a little busy and hurried. Though my hairdresser Mathieu is a very chill person, easy to talk to, and gave an unrushed service. My haircut, including a wash, came down to just under $ 50 — but hey these guys are North American Hairstyling Award winners.

I had a great experience here today — I got a cut from Antoine, who listened to what I wanted, did great work, and was fun to chat with! The price was a bit higher than what I expected based on the website and Unilocal reviews ($ 80 for wash, cut, and blow dry), but as I’m really happy with my haircut, it was worth it. I would definitely recommend this place!

This place is great! As soon as I got there I was greeted and seated, then offered a beverage. I got a delicious fancy coffee. The hairdresser (named Alice) was friendly and did wonders on my hair. It was a bit pricey, $ 65 for a cut but I have skimped on quality before to save a buck and it did not go well. It was well worth the money I spent. My hair looks amazing and I may just well be a customer for life.

The staff are super friendly and their prices are very reasonable. I’ve always been treated with great care at the salon and have come out more relaxed. I highly recommend Pascal. She’s phenomenal. Her work is truly exceptional and she’s an artist. Best of all, she makes you feel like family. She makes every trip to local b into a memorable experience. I’ve been happy with the salon in the past few years.

J’ai toujours eu de la difficulté à rester fidèle à un coiffeur, car j’étais insatisfaite de la constance ou tout simplement ça né «clickait» pas, jusqu’au jour que j’ai trouvé Antoine. Cela fait maintenant presque plus de deux ans qu’il est mon coiffeur et je n’ai jamais été aussi satisfaite. Je vous le conseille fortement.

It was a 14 km round-​trip walk from my hotel but I’m so glad I sucked it up and schlepped myself over there! Vanee listened to my needs (cute, easy, no bangs, maintenance-​free) and came up with a plan. I’ve never professionally colored my drab brown hair but got such a good vibe from Vanee and the salon in general that I agreed to let her work her magic. She picked a professional, grown-​up, sassy color that I love!
And since my eyebrow was completely out of control the resident make up artiste (whose name I don’t know) painstakingly plucked the thing into the two most shapely creatures I’ve ever worn! Lovely job! (Particularly since she squeezed me in with no advance notice while my color was setting.)
I’m very satisfied with my impromptu decision to hoof it across town to local B for a day of beautification! Next time I get another long Montréal overnight I’ll be back for a tune-​up!

Great atmosphere. Very clean.
I got a very nice haircut for $ 60. Laurie gave me the hairstyle that I want, and more.
I like that they give treats during service: chocolate and peanuts; and orange slices (which can be awkward to eat while getting a haircut). The only reason why I didn’t give 5 out of 5 is because I never got the glass of water I was offered twice for.

I love this place, mostly because of Antoine (though I am also a fan of the white décor, the complimentary snacks and the sometimes-​hilarious people watching).
After years of surfing through Montréal salons and ending up with just okay hair (too blonde, too nice, too choppy, etc), I stumbled across Antoine and for the first time in my life have GOOD hair.
Maybe it’s just that I love the (Parisian girl in the street) cut & colour he did, but he may also actually be a style genius. He can never move back to France!
Am also a big fan of Vicki, who did the best kid haircuts ever.
Thanks, guys!

I recently moved from Vancouver and was worried about finding a new stylist. After asking a few friends, someone recommended me to Local B. I made an appointment with Antoine. The salon itself is white and modern, in a cute stretch of Outremont. Not too far from the Metro, maybe a 7 minute walk. While I waited, they brought me tea, fruit, nuts and chocolate! I’m all about the details and I thought that was very thoughtful. Antoine was super friendly and gave me a great cut — I have really long and thick Asian hair. The atmosphere was nice, my stylist did a good job and I thought the pricing was very fair.

Excellent cut by Karine. Great salon. I called the day before to make an appointment and got a wonderful haircut. Karine knows how to cut curly hair. Thanks!

In order to be objective and since I was very excited after my haircut, I waited about one month to write this review. I would give a 3 ½ stars for the welcoming service. The receptionist was nice, but not more than that. I waited about 15 minutes and she didn’t even offer me a glass of water –in other places they do as soon as you give your name.
Then I met Véronique, it was my first time at Local B, I was there because I wanted a new hair style. I trusted her and I have to say she is very sensitive. She looked at me, she played with my hair and then she started to cut. The result… magnificent.
Also she is very nice and professional. I have curly hair, so she took the time to show me how to wear it natural, half dried and straightened.
After one month, I am still very happy with her job and I will go back soon.

I was in bad need of a root job when I looked up some places that were close by. This place popped up and while there were no reviews, I checked out the prices and thought they were reasonable. As well, I wanted to try somewhere new so I thought, «why not?». It was the dead of winter so I cabbed it instead of risking hypothermia. When I got there, I discovered it is on this cute stretch of Outremont with clothing and other stores. I go downstairs and am quickly installed in a chair with my assigned stylist. He is nice and does a quick job of the touch up that I so badly needed. However, he failed to put any vaseline on my hairline so I’m stained with hair dye when I finish drying my hair. It’s a small point but for $ 75 (including tip) for a 15 minute job, he should have either put the vaseline on or followed up after I had dried my hair. Fortunately, the manager (or owner?) noticed me trying to rub off the dye and asked the makeup person to clean the hair dye off with some makeup remover.
Overall, the service was lacking but he was quick and not too chatty (I like to read while doing my «maintenance»). This place accepts cards. There is street parking.
