Ça fait 15 ans que je me fait coiffer, manucures, laser, etc, Au Premier et aujourd'hui pour une coupe, problème avec leur système de réservation donc on me dit de retourner chez moi dès mon arrivée (le rendez-vous avait pourtant été confirmé). On essaie même pas de trouver une solution sur place, on me dit simplement de recéduler. On m'appelle plus tard en soirée pour m'expliquer la situation et s'excuser et on m'offre un minable 10% sur mon prochain rendez-vous, c'est rire du monde! Non merci mais je vais aller ailleurs. Personnel de la réception très hautain.

I had a curly cut with Eva, I loved it. I'm switching over to this salon. Kim also did my highlights and I am really happy with the results.
16 June 2023 13:11
Un gros merci à Beatrice de m’avoir donné le rendez vous avec finesse et politesse, a Kim qui m’a sauvé avec son expertise, et a Savanna pour non seulement une mise en plie fantastique mais aussi d’être capable d’écouter toutes genres d’histoires banales avec patience et gentillesse.

Merci à toute l’équipe!

I always have an amazing time at Au Premier for my hair cuts. Lily has been cutting my hair for the last 6+ years and it’s always a great experience and a great outcome. She is attentive, detail oriented and incredibly efficient as always being interest in expanding her professional knowledge. Sitting in her chair is always pleasant and lively. Whether we transition to straight edges or layers, side fringe or piecey fronts it’s always an experience of trust and care. I walk away feeling like a million bucks every time. Top marks all around?

Very inconsistent, generally good results but occasionally terrible. Had a couple of haircuts (they were ok) but last time it was way shorter then I asked for (asked for shoulder length and got just under my ears, only thing he could say is that it would grow back!). Colour usually ok, then I let colorist talk me into doing highlights and hair was once too light with yellow/orange tones and then, when I said it was too light, next time she made it darker it but was eggplant colour, truly horrible. She said it was my hair’s fault! Hilarious

Meilleur spa pour sortir en beauté et aux goûts du jour. Jocelyn est de loin le secret le mieux gardé de Mtl; ça fait 15 ans qu'il fait mes mèches et ça fait 15 ans que je reçois toujours de beaux compliments sur ma tête.

Got a haircut from Sharon, have to say she was very patient and considerate of what kind of hair style I was looking for and made tweaks according to my liking. Would definitely recommend her:). Also not to forget (didn't catch the name of the person (tall) who washed my hair) - she was really gentle and gave an amazing massage as well!
08 January 2023 10:17
Tina is the best! She squeezed me in her busy schedule to prep me for my engagement party! Thanks Tina ️

Staff is so incredibly friendly and helpful, make you feel very welcome and special. Dorys is the only person I trust to cut my hair and he always does a fantastic job. Recommend to anyone.
16 November 2022 18:36
Wow! This place is amazing. Everyone that works here is so nice and professional. The amount of care and love that they put into your hair is outstanding and I will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!
22 September 2022 15:23
Chloé nous a très bien aidé pour les cheveux hyper épais et drus de ma fille. Elle avait de bons conseils qu’on suit à la lettre et maintenant ses cheveux sont doux! Merci
17 September 2022 4:32
Une expérience 5 étoiles à chaque visite! Je fréquente ce salon depuis plus de 15 ans et je ne changerais pour rien au monde!
16 September 2022 8:08
I have been coming here for 10 years. It is the best of the best. Back then ir was once a little secret but now everyone knows, which makes booking harder but I’m glad for the staff, they deserve it. Iva is the best!
11 September 2022 23:32
I came here to do a perm with Mark before and he does an amazing work!

However, I needed a hair cut and figure this is one of the best salon in montreal and it cannot go wrong. NOPE! I paid $50 for a junior haircutter. It was a disaster. She’s a sweetheart and even styled my hair after but the haircut is not great.

I told her multiple times that the left side is shorter than the right and she could not see it. She spent another hour and could not get it right. I gave up and I had to come back home and ask my husband to cut it together to make it more even. We’re not a hairdresser but it looks better. Would never go here again for a hair cut. What a waste of money!
06 September 2022 15:58
Au Premier gives a great experience when you have an appointment. Everyone is professional and pleasant. Jocelyn is an amazing colourist and Lili is amazing at cutting my hair. They make an awesome dream team for my hair and i get compliments all the time. Even if i didn’t get my hair done in months i’ll still get compliments. Perfection
27 June 2022 17:46
Accueil agréable, coloristes professionnelles, stylistes motivées toujours à la fine pointe des dernières tendances. Personnel à l’affût de nos besoins (soins capillaires, breuvages, retouche de maquillage à la sortie et prise de rendez-vous). Un salon propre, chaleureux et bien tenu, très fréquenté. Réservez tôt car les rendez-vous de dernière minute sont difficiles à obtenir.
18 June 2022 5:21
Ma première fois à ce salon et j’ai adoré. J’ai fait une coloration avec Isa-Ève et elle est incroyable! Elle a pris son temps pour me conseiller, m’informer et on a discuter ensemble du meilleur scénario pour mes cheveux en transition vers un poivre et sel naturel. Très satisfaite de mon expérience à ce salon et je recommande fortement Isa-Ève pour la coloration.
17 June 2022 19:55
I drive 100 kilometers to go for their services been with them for over 25 years very professional
11 June 2022 14:08
Wonderful pedicure with Becca and Lieth Ann! Both very friendly and attentive. So relaxing that one of the guests fell asleep. 5 star service!
09 June 2022 7:34
I’ve been coming here for over 5 years and it’s always amazing! Silvana is the best! Max is also awesome and really makes my eyebrows presentable. Highly recommended!
22 May 2022 14:51
Coloration par la meilleure: Anouk et coiffure par Flavie! Service personnalisé avec un sourire! Professionnalisme et conseils honnêtes! Mon salon préféré depuis des années!
16 May 2022 7:57
Super expérience avec Isabelle, un résultat de coloration à la hauteur de mes attentes! Je la recommande sans hésitation, je suis très satisfaite.
12 May 2022 13:57
Had a shellac manicure done by Becca. What an amazing result! Very professional. Thoroughly enjoyed by experience. Would recommend to anyone.
30 April 2022 20:35
Lena is the best at everything. Manicure, pedicure, facials, you name it. If you’re looking for an excellent esthetician you can find her at Au Premier.
28 April 2022 16:18
Enjoyed my experience. They took the time to really figure out what I wanted, and I'm very happy with the results. Everyone (receptionist, stylist, assistants, etc) was super polite and professional. Special shout-out to Connie (haircut) and Rina (color).
25 April 2022 2:42
I have been coming for years to Au Premier for my different colorations and Ben is my colorist. He is the best! He is naturally talented at what he does and is gentle. Always greets you with a kind attitude and is just sooo sweet:) I am never disappointed and very often get compliments on my golden blonde hair.
In addition, it has gotten much longer and healthier since he uses Aveeda color on my hair. All the team at Au Premier have always been curtious and polite, even very accommodating. I have been to other salons and I can tell you that here you will receive honest caring old fashioned valued service.
Thank you!
13 April 2022 22:22
I found my regular colorist here, and the stylists are great too. I would trust my hair to anyone in this salon.
Can't wait to go back to the full Aveda experience: head massage and a latte while waiting during your color!
01 April 2022 23:48
Everytime I leave this place my self esteem takes a nose dive. As a business that deals in beauty, they somehow they manage to make me feel ugly. Bad haircut after bad haircut which can never be fixed because so much length gets taken off. There's nothing like some ugly hair to make you feel absolutely disgusting.
26 March 2022 0:24
Iva et Lindsay ont fait un travail incroyable pour couper et colorer mes cheveux bouclés! J’adore ma nouvelle coupe Rezo!?
03 March 2022 21:11
My friend recommended this salon to me and I came and was scheduled with Sylvana I believe, one of the owners. I have short hair and I asked her to do a modern haircut, but not too short. She has no idea what it means- modern and how to work with short hair to make it look good. I am very disappointed. 95$ for haircut only and I had to go on vacation with disaster on my head.
27 February 2022 11:02
Very happy with the service I received here. I got a cut and color and both were exactly what I wanted. Huge thanks to Connie and Lindsay for their expertise. I highly recommend.
04 October 2021 10:09
Been going here since 2008. I have never left with anything less than a wonderful cut and colour. Lindsay and Lucy are my dream team!
26 August 2021 14:36
Been 3 weeks and it still feels like I got a haircut just yesterday.
I have long curly hair enclosing a small face, so hair cuts and styles have been a struggle. But Connie understood me so well. She gave me the right kind of layers that would look good in any hair do. She did a wonderful job on whole service and also gave me some good tips on how to maintain my hair on day 2 and 3 post wash for the best look.
Thanks Connie and the team for making my bday pics extra special.
23 July 2021 0:17
Relaxing and beautiful salon. Felt very safe with the restrictions in place. High quality service. Been going for years!
22 July 2021 15:04
I had a very good experience out there. People are professional and competent, they use quality products and the overall ambience is classy. This is exactly the place I was looking for so I highly recommend if someone is looking for a good salon.
16 July 2021 1:51
They fixed my hair after a previous hairstylist had really messed it up, and did an amazing job! Make sure to see the senior hair colourists, as they really know what they're doing! - Ben did an amazing job. Sweet and understanding staff and managers as well:)
15 July 2021 8:40
Vraiment déçue de ma coupe de cheveux, je me coupe mieux les cheveux moi même. 80$ en plus! J’ai dû finaliser celle de ma fille qui faisait rafraîchir son toupette.c’était tout croche! Dire que j’allais là à son âge y’a de ça plus de 30 ans lorsqu’ils étaient plus loin sur monkland. Ça a bien changé depuis.

Le facial par Johanne vaut le prix par contre. Pour les coupes de cheveux, évitez!
14 July 2021 23:26
It was the first time I visited here.my hair stylist was galit.she is amazing.she listened to me carefully and also suggested her own point of view as i don’t know much about it.highly recommend to come here.
09 May 2021 21:55
Joli salon - mais ils ne savent pas couper les cheveux! J'y suis allée quelques fois (mon salon préféré est loin de chez moi, mais Au Premier est dans mon quartier), et à chaque fois je l'ai amèrement regretté, coupes mal structurées et qui sont encore plus moches à la repousse. On ne m'y reprendra plus.
06 May 2021 1:09
Je vais chez Au premier spécifiquement pour Sherrie qui est est une des seules au Québec formé pour faire la « deva cut » (la coupe pour les cheveux frisés)! Elle a beaucoup d’expérience et donc elle sait où/combien couper pour qu’une fois les cheveux séchés ça soit la longueur souhaitée! Elle me donne également à chaque fois des conseils concernant le « coiffage » de mes cheveux au quotidien! Je recommande ses services, elle vaut le détour

Je vous laisse juger par vous même les photos avant après:) (à noter que mes cheveux dans les photos « avant » n’ont aucun produit)
05 May 2021 20:48
I got a haircut a while from one of their employees named Sherrie. She didn't have an once of professionalism when addressing me. She was looking at me up and down and would gossip with other customers about me. I wanted to run out of the salon as I was sensing other hairdressers heavy eyes on me. I was inexperienced about hair and all and she took that to her advantage. Looking back I regret not standing up for myself so so much as I was intimidated by such a rude and shameless person.
03 May 2021 15:13
I LOVE my haircuts from Sherrie. I’ve been twice now and each one she takes the time and the care to listen to my fears and questions. She makes me feel safe, beautiful, confident and understood in her chair! Not only does she offer great advice and references while I’m there but sometimes I contact her via Instagram and she always manages to settle my concerns and educated me so much on how to maintain my curls. Her prices are amazing and you get all this love and attention and information as well! If you ever wanted to understand your hair she is the best person to ask for. She will shine a light on your existing beauty and make you feel like the queen you are!
30 April 2021 3:28
I had such a good experience with Sherrie! She finally helped me embrace my natural curly hair, and gave me some really practical tips for maintaining it! She took her time and explained things so well and I felt like I was in great hands!
From the get-go the staff at the front was very friendly and welcoming:)

Thanks all I'll definitely be back!
14 March 2021 23:13
I really recommend booking an appointment with the co-owner, Sylvana, if you’re planning on having a cut! She’s very kind and did exactly what I wanted, took her time and was very welcoming because I was a bit nervous!
27 February 2021 8:11
My favourite spot for haircut! The lady that I always go to, gives me exactly what I want! But I do agree that it is a very pricey spot!
02 February 2021 16:35
I adore this hair salon! They give you a head massage when they shampoo your hair. Love my hair dresser named Sasha if you like simple hair cuts, shes the best! Great prices & they always have cute accessories in the front!
09 January 2021 0:25
Beautiful, clean salon / spa with very helpful and professional staff. This was my first ‘curly cut’ with Sherrie, and I’m in love with the result! I have fought nature and straightened my hair for nearly 40 years, but now I’m learning to love my natural curls, and Sherrie has played a big part in this change! She is super knowledgeable and taught me so much about proper care for curly hair / scalp during my visit. I would recommend Sherrie to anyone in Montréal who wants to properly look after their curls!
10 November 2020 9:34
Sherrie is the queen of curly girl cuts. Finally! Someone who UNDERSTANDS curly hair! I've been to her several times and I'm never disappointed. There aren't too many stylists in Montreal who are curly girl experts like Sherrie. Plus, she's super sweet and inspires you to "love what you got! "
11 October 2020 3:19
Je suis allé en 2019 et j'ai beaucoup aimé mon expérience car c'est grand, propre et on fait un massage à l'huile essentielle avant le lavage des cheveux. Le prix était élevé mais acceptable pour la qualité du salon et des services. Toutefois, j'ai appelé en août 2020 pour un rendez vous et les prix ont monté en flèche et les prix étaient vraiment differents de ceux affiches en ligne. Pour une simple coupe des cheveux on me chargeait 70$ alors qu'en ligne c'est écrit 45$. C'est très décevant.
06 October 2020 2:34
After many months of no haircut since covid, I finally braced myself today and went. I was met by an extremely courteous and professional staff from beginning to end.
I booked with a ‘junior’ stylist, Victoria, and she was fabulous. She really took the time to discuss options, and then spent much time and care making sure the mess my hair had become was restored! She was so meticulous and really took the time with small details. It wasn’t an easy cut since there was a lot of ‘fixing’ and she really went above and beyond.
28 September 2020 13:02
Endroit propre et personnel sympathique et compétant. Travail toujours attentionné et bien fait, je ne vais plus ailleurs!
18 September 2020 11:02
Amazing results!
i went from dark brown to a very light caramel blonde, i was so scared but my colorist Ben did an amazing job, i love it so much i’m going back for more blonde!
a little busy in there, but very pleased with outcome and the price!
01 September 2020 10:38
Great Team, very professional!

They even called to inform on the new fees (Post-Covid19). Not a joyful info yet it’s fair enough to make us know before having hairs done.
28 August 2020 3:35
I went there 3 years ago and had an appointment with jessica, I asked for layers and she did a really bad job, she was a junior at the time. I stopped going there and switched salons but with covid i decided to go back since my other salon wasnt open yet but this time i asked for a senior, i get there only to find out they had booked me with her again since she was a senior now.shes a very sweet girl so i couldnt tell her i didnt like the haircut she did and i just gave her a second chance since i was already there, she did a better job but still not what i wanted at all, she cut way too much off and didnt even give me layers, for the price im paying i expect them to have the best hairdressers. She's very sweet as a person but she isn't the best hairdresser
19 August 2020 16:48
Worst pedicure experience ever. I had a pedicure last Sunday, I was treated really badly. The girl was rude and not friendly at all. I will never return. This is not the way you treat customers!
10 August 2020 10:23
I've been a client of Au Premier's & stylist Glen for around 5 yrs. I will not go anywhere else. Glen is the best stylist I've ever had. I've had a couple different ladies colour my hair, every one of them top notch. I have always been so happy with my results.
15 July 2020 18:50
Hairstylists and hair assistants varies a lot, and front desk clerks aren't very pleasant. Every single time my wife and I enter or stand in front of them, none makes eye contacts and/or welcome us, so we always awkwardly stand there for awhile before one of them acknowledge us. Please, train them to be more welcoming, attentive and personable.
28 April 2020 6:01
I was there for highlights she didn't pay attention to what I wanted. Even though I paid a lot, I'm not happy with the result.
26 April 2020 18:44
J'ai les cheveux ondulés/frisés et j'ai voulu essayer la ''coupe frisée'' pour la première fois. Je voulais bien évidemment une coupe mais aussi (et surtout) des conseils sur les différentes techniques/produits à utiliser pour mon type de cheveux afin de pouvoir mieux prendre soin de mes boucles.
Le personnel était accueillant et super professionnel mais le résultat final laissait vraiment à désirer. Je n'ai jamais eu aussi peu de boucles qu'en sortant de mon rendez-vous et j'étais hyper déçue. Je voulais me laver les cheveux quelques fois avec ma routine pour voir le vrai résultat de la coupe avec ma routine et c'est correct mais sans plus. Les résultats sont très similaires à ceux que j'obtiens habituellement avec une coupe ordinaire mais le tout m'a coûté 130$. J'ai une photo avant/après mais elle semble impossible à publier!
24 April 2020 17:29
It would be appreciated if you could call your customers if you are going to cancel appointments! I don’t appreciate wasting my time.
15 April 2020 15:17
Extremely unimpressed, worst pedicure experience ever.
Visited from Toronto. Went to Au Premier Spa for deluxe pedicure with sister, on promo for $72.
I was taken in separately, when sister tried to join me was told to leave the room! Was brought in to join me 5-10 minutes later - estheticians had not been advised we were together.
Pedicure was okay and my esthetician’ Kavita was very nice.
Sister was finished 15 minutes before me and was told she had to leave the room.
When done, I joined her in reception and had to ask for fan to dry toenails.
After 30-40 minutes, we had to ask for nails to be checked. Different esthetician than either of us had checked nails and said fine - I said mine still felt sticky, but she said they would be fine and covered with vaseline and plastic wrap. Got home and big chunks of polish gone and nails a wreck.
Called spa and told by receptionist that no room to have me come back, but that I would receive full reimbursement. Asked for Manager. Got supervisor Etty and was offered appointment at 4: 00 which I could not do, then at 2: 30 - all too late as plans already made for final day in Montreal.
Then told would not be given full reimbursement, as pedicure was fine - just getting a credit for $24 for polish replacement. No apologies, no offers of something to make it all up, no ability for me to come in then for me to have the wrecked polish taken off - just $24. Told them to put it on my sister’s account.
Extremely unimpressed, their response was completely unprofessional and lacking in any remote form of customer service, worst pedicure experience ever.
04 April 2020 21:32
Sherrie is an absolute goddess when it comes to curly cuts! I have been natural my entire life, and have tried several different hair salons and shapes, but I have never had a curly cut as detailed & exactly what I wanted as the cut Sherrie gave me! She is more than amazing at what she does, but also so passionate about it! She is trained in nearly every curly cut out & is constantly perfecting her craft by attending the latest workshops & trainings all over North America. I have afro curly, very thick hair & was skeptical that this wouldn’t be the best shop for me because when first walking in, I saw 0 clients that looked like me (black woman with Afro curly hair) but I’m so happy I took a chance! Sherrie knows what she’s doing. If you want a shape that will make your natural thrive and have character, let Sherrie give you a curly cut!
07 March 2020 23:51
Best salon. They give you a head massage and a makeup touch up with your haircut. You leave feeling like a star!
05 February 2020 4:42
Superior salon in all respects with first rate hair stylists and spa salon upstairs. Courteous staff and pleasant environment.
22 January 2020 12:06
My friend and I went here for the first time not knowing what to expect, it was an experience from the beginning until the end! Everything on time, the staff is sweet and friendly. From the head massage to our haircut and makeup touch up. We felt pampered all along and were so excited about our hair after our appointments. Will definitely come back!
27 December 2019 17:47
Thank you so much for your great customer care. I also greatly appreciate lily for her time redoing my hair.
20 December 2019 6:53
Excellent service and environment. Even if I did not have exactly what I wanted, my haircut and my daughters' were well executed. I would go back with no hesitation!
09 December 2019 16:16
So disappointed with this place. I had high expectations because of great and amazing reviews but they do not treat people with kindness. I expected to have an appointment booked for next week and because apparently I was on a waiting list, they didn’t even booked me! When I called to understand why, they were rude and impolite.
02 November 2019 8:13
I had an appointment last winter with a hairdresser who specializes in curly cuts (dry cuts). I was excited about such a find, so I called to book an appointment.a month away. Fine, I scheduled the appointment, and patiently waited a month for the date to roll around. They called me a few days before to confirm the appointment. The day of the appointment rolled around, I get there, they bring me to the hairdresser who takes one look at my hair and asks"why is your hair in a ponytail with product"? Apparently, to get the dry cut, you're supposed to wash your hair two days prior, not put any styling products in and leave your hair down. All information that the salon had failed to share with me at the time of booking my appointment or when they called to confirm. I told the hairdresser as much, and asked if she could wash my hair quickly and dry it before giving me the dry cut. "No", she replied, "there's no time and I have other clients". But they still washed my hair before cutting my hair.drying my hair with just a blowdryer would've taken an additional 10 minutes at the very most.

I asked for a cut to get rid of all the dead ends as it had been several months since I cut my hair. She must've cut at the very most half an inch. The salon then tried to charge me the full price for the dry cut, which is about $15 to $20 more than a regular cut. That's when I put my foot down and said no, as they hadn't delivered on what they had promised. The hairdresser in question and the employees of the salon didn't really seem to care about providing the basic level of service to the clients. As a comparison, a month later I went to Florida where I accompanied my cousin to a curly hair salon for a deep treatment.upon seeing my hair, the hairdresser said "you really need a good haircut. Is it ok if I go ahead and cut your hair"? Even though i wasn't scheduled for a cut. She cut off all the split ends I had, which was a LOT, not normal considering my "haircut" at Au Premier had been just 4 weeks prior. That's the difference between good customer service and just keeping up appearances.

The only reason I didn't give the salon + experience 1 star is because of the complimentary express makeover they give you before you leave. WOW, the makeup artist was not only a sweetheart but gave me such a wonderful yet understated makeover. I left the salon feeling like a million bucks only because of the makeup, and not my hair, unfortunately. Live and learn, I guess.
12 June 2019 21:06
J'aime beaucoup le côté spa. Les gens sont super gentils. Mais la partie salon de coiffure j'ai aimé moins. Les gens sont super indifférents aux clients et les deux fois que je m'y suis faite couper les cheveux, j'ai eu des coupes très ordinaires.
09 June 2019 13:43
We love Au Premier Coiffure - my daughter and I are always with Pierre.who is always
super professional.and does exactly what each of us ask (hair cuts/ styles). Merci.and we always recommend Au Premier Coiffure and we always recommend Pierre
23 May 2019 17:09
I have been coming to au premier for years. During the last year there has been many changes in receptionists. Ever since then my appointments have always been getting mixed up or when they call to confirm they have been telling me the incorrect times. I show up always half an hour or an hour early and then I tell them that when I received the confirmation they told me the incorrect time. The continue to go on about how its my fault. Secondly, I got a manicure a few days ago. It is now 5 days later and my nails are all chipped when my manicure always used to last me at least 7 days. On top of this I needed to come back the day after my manicure because the aesthetician make my polish extremely thick to the point where my nails couldn't even dry. The prices on the website are incorrectly listed as well.
21 May 2019 12:58
Si je pouvais donner 10 étoiles, je le ferais!
Il y a quelque jours j'ai fait l'erreur de me couper les cheveux seule (mais quel desastre!).
Une chance que Jessica etais presente! Elle m'a fait une magnifique coupe, comme si rien s'etait passé!
Tres professionnelle et courtoise, je vous la conseille absolument!
Je vais definitivement y retourner et je vous invite a aller faire un tour. Le salon est joli et cozy.
Bien aimé mon experience.
