NÜ Salon

You Never fail with Ellison ! She is the best for hair cut. I get my hair cut every 3 – 4 month and every time im really happy about the result !

Lovely staff, had a wash Abd blow dry
It was excellent
With body and shine.
Would definitely recommend it.

Ugh. I hate how good this salon is! I’ve been to Adikt, Queen of the World and almost everywhere in between in Montréal. I’ve even been to 6+ places in Laval and I’ve paid anywhere from $ 20 — $ 100 for a cut and a style; I have YET to find a place that does a better job than this one. I don’t have difficult hair, it’s colored a chocolate brown and a medium-​long in length.
The price doesn’t excite me so much at $ 60 + for a cut and a style but you know what? it’s totally worth it. I’ve had to get my hair fixed so many times after going to other salons that it costs me the same amount anyways so might as well give them the full amount on the first attempt and be completely satisfied with my hair cut. AND they don’t judge you for bringing in pictures; I got EXACTLY what I showed my stylist the last time. Ladies and gent of NÜ Salon (Italian gentlemen who cuts my hair all the time, I don’t remember your name I’m sorry :() — keep doing what you’re doing!
* My only complaint is I asked the blonde owner a simple question once and got a pretty snide answer back but I’m willing to believe I caught her on a bad day. Snooty attitude aside, I’m a loyal customer and you will be too!

I called to see if I could get an appointment and was told to come on in. My french wasn’t very good and my stylist Daniele didn’t speak much English but the owner kindly translated. I have been growing my hair for quite some time but it looked awful. Daniele suggested immediaty that I go short and he took the time to show me some photos. I was a bit reluctant to go short so he listened and modified the style to a length that I was happy with. he suggested making it lighter as well and though I just went for a cut he did a color as well. he spent a lot of time cutting and razoring, very confident in the look he was trying to achieve and in the end I loved it. I agree with the other review that said he cut like an artist. My only concern is that I am from out of province so not sure when I’ll get back to Montréal again. I hope Daniele is still there when I return!

The place is kind of hidden. When you walk in you are asked to take off your shoes and wear disposable plastic shoe covers. The place is neat and well maintained. I got a shampoo and cut here. It was very quick and hassle free. They give you a good scalp massage during the shampoo. The staff is very nice and they deliver exactly what you ask for. I spent $ 60 for the service and bought a dry shampoo for $ 22. Don’t be fooled by the free shampoo ad on Unilocal,they don’t accept it here. You also have to pay for parking!

I want to start by saying this is the only salon I’ve visited in Montréal so I am not sure what the standard for salons is. To put my experience in perspective, I booked my appointment only 1 dar in advance, the Thurs before valentine’s day, as the very last appointment of the day, on a crappy stormy day.
The place itself was OK. the staff were friendly enough and offered me tea which was nice. my only real complaint was there was very limited sitting space, just a small bench with a pile of someone’s stuff and my appointment started late so it was a bit uncomfortable.
I gave it 5 stars because I believe the environment doesn’t matter nearly as much as the haircut you get. I don’t care if it’s mediocre service if the actual haircut is wonderful and looks great.
I was lucky enough to have daniel (le?) cut my hair. He was very friendly from the moment he introduced himself. the shampoo/​wash included a head massage which was longer than other salons I’ve been to and felt so good! I seriously just wanted him to massage my head forever :)
The whole time he was very nice, and knew exactly what to do with my frizzy, thin hair. I just told him I wanted the same cut I had before (which was done in a salon in Ottawa, so he could only tell from my grown out cut) with some layers and to remove the split ends.
The most entertaining part was the cut. I have never seen anyone work the way he did. He seriously worked like an artist instead of just a hairdresser. He worked with passion — each move and cut was so calculated and done with so much care.
And, when he was finished I asked him to touch it up with more layers and he did it perfectly and took the time to do it right. Most other hairdressers would have been annoyed. remember this was the end of the day! Above all, my hair looks just as great naturally drying from a shower with the perfect layers he put in… not just by styling it all fancy!
Overall, I was very impressed. Probably the best cut I’ve had. i believe I will go back because of the great cut and service daniel (le) provided. I don’t know how good the other hairdressers are but he is amazing!

I hate to give a mediocre review for a fledgling business and friendly staff who clearly love what they do. But the place was fairly disorganized, dirty (piles of cut hair on the floor from people who were clearly no longer in the salon) not very professional (personal calls and swearing), and understaffed (phone rang several times while I was there but was not answered because all staff were busy with other things).
But my hair styist gave me a very nice cut without much instruction (difficult to communicate with anyway as he mainly spoke Italian) and spent a lot of time on my hair to get it perfect.
I think this place could be really amazing — in fact I suspect the reason why it was clearly understaffed was because so many others find them to be so great — but this place needs to get out of survival mode and their newbie mentality before their customers see the shine has worn off.
Oh, also, I don’t know how likely you can get your hair cut by walk-​in here anymore. I called ahead on two separate occasions (one weekend day, one weeknight) to see if I can do a walk-​in appointment that day and was told they were booked solid.

Convenient location, fair prices and quality service.
A friend recommended that I give them a try, even though I’d never thought to go to a «salon» for such a basic men’s haircut. They were very friendly and, considering that I pretty much only shave my head, the price is very reasonable. They even include a shampoo and head rub, which I appreciate because it keeps me from getting hair all over myself on the way home. They’re also right downtown, so it’s easy to get a quick cut before heading out to dinner or a show.

I have curly hair — every hair cut is a traumatic experience. I went to NU (because of the reviews on Unilocal) and showed Daniele a photo of Meg Ryan and told him I wanted that cut — even though she is younger than me, has better hair than me and probably pays $ 600 for her hair cut! He did a fantastic job — best cut I have had in 10 years! Highly recommend him — he’s fast and clearly knows what he is doing.

I just moved to Montréal and was in need of a haircut, while keeping as much length as possible. I randomly chose a salon close to where I was located, but I’m so glad that I came into NU!
You walk into to a small entrance on the side of a building to a beautiful, cute, clean salon. They have two floors for cutting hair, but the entire area is an open concept which I thought was nice to have to make the salon feel welcoming.
Sheema was busy with another client so Daniele cut my hair. He apologized a few times for his english but I thought it was easy to communicate with him and my hair cut shows that. I’ve never had a stylist listen to me as much as he did! He was very careful with listening to what I had asked and before he made a cut he’d let me know what he was doing, which I liked! I knew that my hair was in shambles as it had been a while since my last cut, but while previous hair stylists would want to chop it all off, he still kept as much length as possible (as asked) and I still feel like he did a great job making my hair look fresh and new.
The only thing that confused me was charging more for having my hair blown dry, which back home I never had. Even with that, it came to $ 60 which was a great deal in my opinion.
I’m extremely happy with Daniele’s cut and will definitely make NU my go to salon!
Also, I’m not sure why the hyperlink underneath my review says
«14 other reviews that are not currently recommended»
because it seems like I’m not the only one who loves this place!

I moved to Montréal a year back, I have tried many hair salons in the city, Salon NÜ has been the best experience so far.
The Salon has 2 main stylists and they are co owners as well. Both the stylists are friendly, professional, fun and very experienced.
I found this salon through a recommendation of a friend when I decided it was time to get a new haircut. Made an appointment with Sheema and a couple of days later, visited the salon. I found the place very chic, young, yet the service was extremely professional. I was clueless what I wanted done to my hair and I think I came out with one of the best haircuts so far! Two Weeks since I still get compliments on my hair :)
The pricing is great and the service is fabulous… Its a win-​win situation.

Nü salon is amazing! Very clean and relaxed atmosphere as soon as you walk in. The staff are warm and welcoming, always offering a beverage upon entrance.
The cuts are far better priced than anywhere else downtown, and the service is amazing as well. The last time I was there, I showed up late (my own fault!) but had my birthday party to attend. BOTH worked on my style to ensure that I would arrive on time – and perfectly coiffed.
Highly recommended!

im not sure how long this salon has been around, but i went in yesterday as a walk in client and i was greeted with a smile.
nice clean atmosphere and as a new comer to this salon i was very welcomed.
i got a cut and blowdry, the prices were reasonable and i inqured about some other treatments and those prices were definetly on point .
Some salons in montreal make you feel like your unimportant but even as a walk in client in a rush i was treated with a coffen enjoyable conversation and a really amazing haircut.
i would definetly go back.
