2026 guide

Hair salons in Ottawa for 2026

A haircut price can change with the stylist, the time booked and what the finish includes. This Ottawa guide compares published options for a new adult client looking for a medium-length cut, consultation, wash and blow-dry.

What to compare

The guide is alphabetical. Several salons posted useful prices, but the public record was uneven for the same haircut, current branch, named provider and appointment timing. A starting price is an example in CAD. Confirm the full total and check the individual hairstylist’s status through Skilled Trades Ontario before you book.

  • Match the service first

    Hair Republic lists a consultation, wash and finish with its medium and long cut. Other menus may list wash and blow-dry separately. Ask which appointment includes all three.

  • Compare appointment totals

    Jet Black lists rates by time and stylist. Hair by Adamo & Co lists a cut and blow-dry by stylist tier. Ask for the total for your hair length, density and intended finish, including tax.

  • Check booking terms

    Ask about the required deposit, when it is credited and the cancellation window. Reflections publishes a 48-hour notice policy and potential fees for late changes or missed appointments.

  • Book a specific stylist

    Ask who will perform the service, whether they work at the branch you selected, and if they have experience with your texture and desired cut. Search the Skilled Trades Ontario public register by name.

Questions to ask

“I’m a new client looking for a medium-length haircut with a consultation, wash and blow-dry. Who would you book me with, and at which location? How long is the appointment, what is included, and what will it cost in CAD including tax and any fees for length, density or finish? Is there a deposit, and what are the cancellation and adjustment terms?”
