Always a great cut

“No matter what I ask, she delivers. Not always easy for someone like me with very fine hair! Hana is not only talented but fun to talk to and the Quadra St studio is very welcoming.”

A very fine haircut

I really appreciated Hana’s skill styling my mop of hair into a Kevin Costner cut suitable for a man in his late 50s. I was very impressed by Hana’s attention to detail and so was my wife. No pulled hair, no hairs in the eyes, none of the negative stuff. Very pleased! Well worth the price.

Great session

Hana is special. I’ve not had a hairdresser take so much time regarding what I wanted in a haircut and style. I have only been twice, BUT most impressed with her ability. Also, she is a lovely individual to talk with.

Great cut!

I have been going to Akai hair design for almost 5 years now and it’s a great place. I’ve never been disappointed with a hair cut and the stylists are knowledgeable, friendly and professional.

Always the best!

Hana is probably the best stylist in Victoria. I’ve been going to her for 8 years. And a super nice person as well! Highly recommended.

Amazing Asymmetrical Cut

“The sign of an amazing cut is someone asking you who cut your hair and your cut is 10 weeks old. He could still tell it was an incredible cut. Been going to Hana for 15 years and have always loved the asymmetrical cuts she gives me.”

Scalp micropigmentation success with Hana!

SMP is a new service offered by salon owner Hana. She uses her considerable skill and artistry to map out SMP areas and provides care tailored to each customer. Before the SMP sessions, every day was a “bad hair day” because of thinning hair. After SMP, there’s a dramatic improvement! Now, wearing a hat is a choice not a necessity. Ask Hana for a consultation to see if SMP could work for you.

Excellent hairstyle!

I’m one of those people that go for a haircut without really knowing what I want or what would look good on me. Hana has always given excellent suggestions that turn into fantastic haircuts. As an added bonus, my haircut still looks good after showering and letting it dry naturally with no product or blowdryer or anything, and that definitely takes a skilled stylist who pays attention to what my hair does when left to itself!

Customer

A very capable stylist who is extremely pleasant. A friend recommended Hanna to me as I was visiting Victoria for a lengthy stretch. I wasn’t disappointed.

Hair cut and style

Hana took time to make a thoughtful understanding of the change of hair cut that I wanted. She showed me examples and choices so I could understand the differences. The result was excellent! Thank you!

Scalp micropigmentation

Hana is a professional with a warm personality. Very accommodating. As for the procedure itself, its well worth it! It’s not painful per say but u do feel some stinging for sure. It has been super easy to care for and maintain.

Love Hana’s Work!

I absolutely love getting my hair cut by Hana:) She does such a great job and I really appreciate the privacy option when booking an appointment. I just let her know roughly what I’m looking for and she turns my vague ideas into something that looks and feels great. I highly recommend her and love seeing that she has established a great business and is expanding into Colwood.

A fabulous uplift for fall

If you haven’t experienced the magic Hana can create with her razor or scissors you are missing out. I have a great new cut and am ready to greet this fall season with a fabulous new look. Get your new look on, it sure lifts spirits in these grey days.

Haircut

Another great cut, I waited 2weeks to review just to let anyone interested know that haircuts can settle in after you wash and style it yourself. Hannah is great at listening to input and giving input. Then she puts it all together, cheers Donna
