Hair Play Salon

Hair Play Salon earns a place for its St. Clair West location and a posted roots, cut and finish combination starting at $150. The price is useful, but the mixed haircut feedback means a careful consultation matters. Emerald remains our first value enquiry if both trips work.

Our verdict: Choose it only after: a consultation that leaves you confident about the stylist, length and colour plan. The price is useful, but the mixed recent feedback keeps it below our first choices.

Prices and what the appointment includes

Roots, cut and finish: $150+ from the posted menu. The calculation uses $80-and-up roots and a $70-and-up cut with finishing. Confirm the posted rates and extra product charges directly.

Prices are starting amounts in Canadian dollars before HST and any optional tip. These combinations are menu arithmetic, not a personal quote. Check the current service menu.

This earns a place for its location and posted starting total. It does not displace Emerald as our first value enquiry. If keeping every possible centimetre is a priority, spell out the shortest acceptable finished length and whether thinning is allowed.

Google reviews: useful praise and cautions

What customers like: the Hair Play Google listing includes praise for Azita's colour, listening and friendly service. Several accounts describe happy repeat visits or bringing a family member.

What gives us pause: the critical sample includes complaints about too much length being removed, uneven shape and an unsatisfactory response when concerns were raised. Several positive and negative accounts fall in the same two-month-old period. We cannot establish how independent those reports are or turn them into a complaint rate. One detailed length complaint is tagged as a children's cut, so it does not establish an adult colour-service problem.

Our take: the mixed feedback makes a consultation more important here. If the stylist does not clearly agree on the finished length and colour plan, choose another salon. The posted price alone is not enough reason to book.

These are customer reports from a sample checked September 26–29, 2026, not independently verified events or a count of every review. Read the branch’s Google listing.

Booking and colour questions

Ask about Azita, then confirm the complete price and the maximum length to remove. The mixed review sample makes a clear cut plan especially useful.

The exact current dye manufacturer and range were not verified in the checked public menu. Ask the salon to name both and explain the formula for your intended coverage. A shampoo, treatment or styling brand is not proof of the dye used.
