Kismet Hair

Kismet Hair is a higher-budget choice for someone who values a calm studio appointment. The core salon is tip-free, which changes the final-bill comparison. Confirm the stylist’s own policy, because independent chair renters can operate differently.

Our verdict: Choose this salon for a small-studio appointment when you like the stylist's work and want a clear final bill. Do the after-tax comparison before ruling it out on the starting price alone.

Prices and what the appointment includes

Example with Alexis: roots plus short cut $216+; bob $234+. Roots start at $123 including finishing. Alexis’s checked cut rates are $93 short, $111 bob and $121 long. Confirm your own stylist’s combination.

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.

The studio is in Unit 208A on Carlaw. Check building access directly if you need a step-free route. Compare the complete bill, because a higher tip-free service total can be closer to another salon’s final bill than it first appears.

Google reviews: useful praise and cautions

What customers like: the Kismet Google reviews repeatedly praise Nicole for explaining the process, listening and looking after clients through different cuts and colours, including root touch-ups. The calm studio and Alexis's thoughtful service also come up. One client with very fine hair praises the lift and volume from her cut.

What gives us pause: sorting by lowest rating surfaced a three-year-old account of a cut being shorter than intended, followed by positive accounts in the visible sample. The owner apologized. We did not establish a recurring recent complaint in this sample.

Our take: this is a stronger shortlist choice if a quiet-feeling appointment matters and the higher quote fits your budget. Still agree on the length and confirm your stylist's rate. The reviews do not make every stylist part of the same price example.

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 for the exact stylist and their gratuity policy. The core salon is tip-free, but independent chair renters can follow different policies.

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.
