Textur Studio

I gave Textür a try because I read great reviews about it online. I’ve now had my hair cut there twice (by Allison) and have been very happy both times. I was inspired by their Instagram feed to ask for an undershave under my usual bob and Allison made a nice design in the shaven hair. When I went back for bang trims/​undershave cleanups, she continued to switch it up with great designs. She also recommended underlayering for my thick hair, and I loved it! The way she cuts my hair, I am actually able to replicate the result at home with a hair straightener, which never seems to be the case with other stylists. Plus, there’s an adorable little doggy in the studio named Burger. Needless to say, I’ll be going back!

New to Toronto. I’m very picky about getting my hair cut. Dasha did an excellent job getting an idea of what I wanted and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
Welcoming and friendly staff, non-​pretentious, good tunes playing on the radio, tea or coffee if you want it while you wait, and an awesome little dog named Burger who will sit in your lap if you’re cool with it.
I’ll be back at Textur for my next cut and I suggest you do the same, you won’t be disappointed.

Went in for a haircut, The experience started off alright, I explained what I wanted and she said she could handle that. When she washed my hair she didn’t ask about pressure or temperature, and I was a bit taken aback when I told her I was getting over a cold and she told me not to breath on her. She didn’t place a towel over my shoulders so my shirt got soaked while she was cutting. She did not add layers to my curly hair so I’ve ended up with a strange triangle shape which, a few people have pointed out, is massively uneven one side to the other. Someone said it looks like I did it myself. when she was done she handed me a mirror to look at it, but didn’t ask how I felt abut the length. I called to see what could be done (ive never called to complain anout something before) but no one called back. I’m disappointed as I had a great experience with another stylist previously. I live and work in the area and I will not be recommending this place.

Let’s be real, finding a new hairdresser can be a daunting experience. You get recommendations, but you never really know if you’ll leave happy until you go and try them out. In my personal experience, I have been disappointed pretty much every single time I tried somewhere new… until I found Dasha at Textur.
Admittedly, I’m not the easiest client and I like to switch up my style pretty regularly. Having said that, I have had appointments when I have gone in with specific photos of what I want done, and appointments when I have left it entirely up to her to decide what to do with my hair. In either scenario, I am always leaving with a huge smile on my face and, as cheesy as this may sound, feeling like a new person. And it’s not just me, both my wife (who also sees Dasha) and I have had complete strangers complimenting our hair and asking where we got it done.
The entire team at Textur is equally fantastic. I am greeted with a smile and nothing but positive vibes every time I visit. I’m always made to feel welcomed and comfortable by literally everyone I interact with here (including their famous pooch, Burger). I cannot say enough about Dasha and Textur, and no Unilocal review will be able to accurately describe how you will feel walking out of this place, finally being truly satisfied with your hair. Go check them out to understand what I’m talking about. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

Always a great cut and style. Trish and Alison are the best! Fantastic salon and fantastic people.

I was trekking back to the suburbs for the last three years since I’ve moved down into the city, for a haircut that I could trust and afford. Finally, a friend recommended Alison @ Textur and I haven’t had to head north of the 401 since.
Headsup, Burger runs the place, no matter what anyone else says.

Looking for a hair doctor week look no further, this is the place! Great staff, great style and techniques. Want great hair and look your best? this is where you can get it!

Love my colour and cut by Trish! I wanted a colour change (hadn’t done it in years) and she gave a great consultation on what would work for me. I’ve received numerous compliments on my hair. Thanks Trish! The salon has a great vibe and everyone is super friendly. Totally recommend this place!

Wanted to make a change in stylists, and so glad that I took a chance here. Jessica gave me exactly what I wanted and talked about a game plan to slowly grow out my hair with the utmost enthusiasm.
Can’t wait to go back.

Had my haircut today by Tiffany!!! It was absolutely amazing! She is amazing she really listened to my concerns and needs. Im extremely picky and can never find the perfect cut for my face shape she really took her time and give me the perfect cut plus showed me how to style and take care of my hair. Just an amazing experience at the salon.

Great salon in Leslieville. Allison cut my hair and gave me exactly what I wanted. I was able to get in same day (thankfully!) and the price was fantastic.

I’ve been a loyal customer of Coupe Bizarre on Queen West for years, but after 2.5 years on the east end I decided it was time to find a salon closer to home.
I ventured out to Textur Studio a couple of days ago. Once I get an idea in my head, I tend to act quickly, which works with Textur. I called at 12:30 and I had an appointment for 2:30 the same day.
I had my hair cut by the owner, Allison. She was lovely, asked questions and kept the conversation going through the entire appointment.
To start I’m not a fan of my hair. It’s wavy, prone to frizziness on humid days, and almost never looks the same as it did 30 minutes after I walk out the door. I also am not daring when it comes to my super slow growing hair. I expressed all of this to Allison. She listened suggested a course of action and away we went.
The appointment took exactly the allotted hour and included a shampoo, rinse, scalp massage, cut and style. For $ 60, I thought this was awesome value.
The test is that after several days, I’m able to wash my hair and go without feeling the need to straighten it so that it looks good. The layers she added have helped lighten my hair’s weight which seems to make it more willing to wave through and not just on the top.
If you’re looking for a great hair cut in the east end I’d highly recommend trying them out. I’m thinking I may go back and try some colour!

This fantastic salon is tucked away at Dundas and Carlaw, and well worth the hike to the east end to visit. In fact, receiving a greeting and if you are lucky, a nice cuddle from resident lap dog, Burgers, is well worth the visit alone.
Living in the neighbourhood, the location, for me, is great, but what really stands out is the cool and relaxed vibe of the studio. Staff are professional, welcoming, knowledgable, and importantly, very passionate about their craft. Jessica foxed up my blonde locks today, providing suggestions to help prolong maintenance, while keeping costs in check, while making me look my best. Yeah!
Dear blonde sisters, please pay a visit to this hip little joint. Go, fix your roots, your pocket book, and your life. I’m really glad that I did.

Fantastic personal service in a great environment from passionate hair experts.
My only complaint is price. $ 40 for a men’s cut is definitely on the high side. Then again, they’re right around the corner and it’s hard to put a price on convenience :-)
