Initium - Markham, Ontario

When trying to find a new salon in my area I decided to try this place as their prices seemed reasonable. Needed full highlights as my roots were dark and I wanted some dimension. But the rest of my hair is blonde so it was only for the roots. Called and ... was quoted $120-180 (if my hair was long) and was happy with the quote and booked for the full highlights with Gwyneth. Once I got there I waited a bit to meet with the stylist then as soon as we started talking she was saying it would cost me $280-500 for PARTIAL highlights only on the top of my head and the very outside hairline. Then after I mentioned I was only quoted $120-180 max she started saying “the girl on the phone would have never said that”.. as if I’m a liar and made it up. When in fact the quote was the only reason I chose here. I walked out immediately after realizing Gwyneth clearly was trying to rip me off. $100 more -$500 for partial instead of full?? Ridiculous!!! I wouldn’t have minded the price for full highlights but definitely not that much for less work than I booked for Never ever ever ever going here Read more

Got a haircut with KK and it’s be far the worst hair cut I’ve received. Extremely choppy, didn’t give me what I wanted and on top of it all, she gave me bangs?!? Now I have the headache of styling super short bangs that I never asked for every day. ... Do not recommend this salon. Read more

Initium is a lovely salon! I love the lghting in this salon, very spacious! My first time visiting to get a hair cut and colour done with Gwyneth. Super professionally and hair came out exact the way I wanted it too!! I highly recommend this place, prices are fair and ... the head massages during wash is my favourite part! Read more

I love this place. Not only can you get a latte with your face on it but you can also get a haircut. The staff is super nice which makes it so much better and price wise it's very reasonable. The drinks are also super yummy. ... My friend loves the peanut butter chocolate latte. Read more

Food was pretty good, but the service was kind of slow. I guess quality over speed. Ordered the Japanese pizza and the toast. Right now, they're letting you use your own photos to print on your latte.
