I want to preface this by saying that I have never had a regular hairdresser. I just kept bouncing around random salons, only to never go back. Not because of bad service (though there were some) but because nothing kept me there. Nothing called me back. Almost like a magic shop, I feel like I found Karinna's salon when I needed it most. At the time, I was a sad girl looking desperately to change my perspective on myself. I found All Hallow's serendipitously through TikTok. Everything about it drew me in: the decor, the ambiance, the privacy of one-on-one. I'm an anxious person, so the intimate, quieter approach really sold it for me. I left my first visit with a beautifully layered haircut, feeling like a shiny new penny, and like I'd found a home. Karinna has really perfected the art of creating a safe space. She helped me gain the confidence to embrace the kind of person I wanted to be simply by unabashedly being who she is and standing in her power. Her salon is a reflection of that, so I decided to take that first step. I came back for my first ever vivid hair appointment. And have kept coming back ever since. I can't even begin to tell you how many compliments I have received over the years for the wonderful job she does. They don't call it hair magic for nothing, she really is a magician. Even my friends are excited when I say I have an upcoming session. I have complete trust in her incredible abilities; I've sometimes walked into a session and said: "Whatever you feel like doing, I give you artistic freedom." I've never once been let down. Such is the confidence I have in her talent and the beauty of the experience. Karinna will not do anything you are not comfortable with. She explains things thoroughly and lets you set the parameters and preferences to your appointments. It's in no way an awkward conversation because she's very understanding. We've had sessions where we don't say much and others spent talking entirely, both equally as healing. It's always, always, a good day when I go into All Hallow's. I know without a doubt I'll be greeted warmly by her and the spirit of autumn that hangs in the air there year-round. Know that the candles will wink in welcome, and all the plant tendrils with wave at hello at me too. It's always fun to look around and see any new changes since my last visit. I've been around for a couple of decor changes, and they've never failed to amaze me. I know I'll sit down with the promise of leaving as a more empowered version of myself like I have every single other time. I'm happy to be a client here, and I simply can't recommend her enough. I hope that if you decide to walk through those sliding doors, you'd feel like you've found a home...
Read morePrefacing this with I've been to this location, have pictures from when I was here because I loved the decor and was floored for Karrina getting this tiny space.
My hair was done magenta at the time and I still have the texts from that appointment and interaction.
Due to apparent "miscommunication" I had written a less than perfect honest 4/5 review which was then flagged. I stand by this rating, while I'll never have a complaint on the skill level, ghosting and gaslighting people who leave less than favourable reviews due to what happened and [presumably] being dishonest with Google to have it removed just rubs me the wrong way.
I understand the motivation for wanting to keep nothing but perfect ratings, but a 4 star review isn't going to prevent people from coming to any given location.
So imo Website user friendliness needs improvement. It should be simple. Making appointments for hair shouldn't be struggle bus for people not well versed in the syntax of what they need done.
I texted the number [I was given] for appointments to guide me a bit through it. I've never used the number for any other purpose than scheduling appointments.
I don't think Karrina is an awful person. Her skills in pigment are unmatched. I'm so very disappointed in her and this entire interaction though and it does pretty much soil the positive interactions I had...
Read moreI can't say enough wonderful things about Karinna! I’ve had the honor to sit in her chair since 2021. From the moment you step into her private spooky salon, you can feel the warmth and creativity that fills the space. It’s not just a hair salon, it’s a sanctuary where you can truly relax and express yourself!
Karinna is a magician with hair! Every time I leave her chair, I feel like a brand new person.
Most importantly, Karinna has created a safe space for her clients. I always feel comfortable sharing my thoughts and ideas about my hair and in life. She listens with genuine interest and care. It’s hard to find a stylist who not only excels at their craft but also makes you feel valued and understood.
Karinna is a true gem. If you're looking for someone who is not only skilled but also creates an enjoyable and comforting experience, look no further! I can't recommend her highly...
