Testimonials

“Hana is amazing at understanding what elements of my cut I wish to change from one cut to the next, and has some intriguing suggestions as well each time. I have sublime confidence in Hana, and her skills and talent as a hair artist.”

Always fantastic.. have been a client for many years and have nothing but good things to say about Hana.

Hana makes me feel great. I enjoy having my hair done especially this time. Something different for me. Highly recommend her skills.

Always a wonderful cut and conversation! Thank you Hana for many years of great service. I plan to come for many more!

Always fun, informative, and rewarding. Love the color, enjoying the length, and a flattering style. Thanks Hanna

Very comfortable with conversation, hair review, cut request. Happy with the significant change and the styling. Thank You!

I’ve tried several stylists over the past few years; Hana’s a keeper. I’ve had three haircuts with her and they’re the best I’ve had.

Great skills and vision, Hana is always there to offer some suggestions if I don’t know what I want and has the skills to execute pretty much anything! I won’t go anywhere else, Hana is the best!

Never disappointed with the way Hana cuts my hair. She is very skilled and creative and provides excellent service. Worth the 15 mile drive for me !

Hana is always so kind and I love her haircuts as they grow out beautifully. She knows her stuff! I live out of town but always book in with her when I come to visit!

I have been going to Hana at Akai Hair Design for almost 10 years and she always does a great job. One of the many things I love about Hana is her willingness to caution me when a style won’t work for my hair, but then give feedback and suggestions for great adjustments. Her technical know how and personal care for her clients cannot be too highly stated.

Hana is friendly, personable, and a pleasure to spend time with. Not only does she do an excellent job of cutting hair, but she is also very knowledgeable when it comes to cut and style ideas and helping you find your best look.

Hana has been cutting my hair for a number of years and no matter what the style she always manages to give me exactly what I want, only better.

“Hanna not only has extensively studied and taken a long list of courses (a lot of them in New York) to keep up-to-date and skilled at what she does, but she puts her heart and soul into her work on a personal level. To sit in her chair means you have her undivided and caring attention (which we all crave!).

It all comes through in the perfect balance of her haircuts: she has a magic knack of cutting hair that suits her client’s face and personality.

I highly highly recommend Hanna!”

After a brief consult with regards to continue to grow my hair out a flattering cut was done with a terrific blow dry style that I can maintain. Thanks, Hana

Hana truly explores what you are looking for and helps you understand what that vision will look like for you. Very talented and very personable, would encourage anyone looking for a great salon to check out Akai.

Hana , Is always great . This week I was stuck in traffic on the Malahat and had to reschedule and she was very good and rescheduled for me immediately.

“Hana is, simply put, amazing. She isn’t simply a stylist, she’s an artist. I have been a client of hers for the last 15 years, and I have NEVER left her salon less than 110% satisfied, and loving what she’s done to my hair. I recommend her to everyone I come across. She’s well respected in the industry and a sought after stylist. Its a pleasure and my privilege to have her do my hair.”

Before I became a client of Hana’s at Akai Hair Design I felt desperate because my hair was becoming so thin with my scalp showing. We met for a consultation Hana suggested I cut my hair short although I was reluctant I felt I had nothing to loose. The cut was amazing and my hair sprang to life. hiding the balding. I get compliments on my terrific new hair style.

I go to the salon because she knows how to do my hair. She definitely knows about everything in her field of expertise. Would not hesitate to recommend Akai to anyone.

I have never had a better hair stylist! She always knows what will look best and her cuts look good from the start and for the weeks and, sometimes, months that my hair grows out between cuts. She also gives me exactly the colour I want every time. My sister travels from out of town just to get her hair done by Hana. You can’t go wrong at Akai Hair Design.

I was so happy and pleased from my first visit to Akai salon , very professional and amazing atmosphere. Definitely recommend it.

I have visited Akai salon several times over the last 3 years, i will be going back soon. Very friendly and profesional.
