Many stylists have cut my hair over the years but only Renee really gets it. I have gone to her for over a year now and will see no one else. She doesn't push product, she is equally comfortable chatting or not, depending on my mood, and she herself has curly hair.
I would definitely recommend this salon to anyone, but especially girls with curly hair! Every staff member was courteous, and professional. I loved the atmosphere!
Kim gave me the best haircut I've ever had, hands down. She makes you feel relaxed and she really listens to what you're looking for, as well as making some great suggestions.
When the cut was done, she showed me which products to use, as well as how to use to recreate the look at home, never once pushing me to buy anything.
I've had so many compliments on my cut! Usually when I get my hair cut, I can never get it to look good once I leave. Not this time! I will definitely be going back!
I got my hair cut with Kim at Bossarts and it was great! She cut my hair dry, which no one has done for me before. For styling, she explained how to use the hair products and used a special hair dryer for my curls. Kim was calm, relaxed and genuine. I highly recommend her!!
I have been living in Quebec city for the last year and a half and visit Ottawa to see family often. I found Boss Arts thru this website and since they had the most comprehensive reviews, decided to try it.
I have been used to getting hair cut that gave me thick chunky curls. Renee gave loose tiny curls. I like the bounce and adorable factor of the cut.
I am very happy with her style of cutting. I wanted something asymetrical with one long curl to wrap around my neck. She completely understood. She also styled my hair in a way I could easily duplicate. A first for me. She explained which products she used, but did not push the Aveda line, though I love their products. She also gave me a long list of products to try.
Renee is very informative on giving you unbiased information for what would be best for your hair and how you care for it.
Renee took the time to understand what sort of cut I wanted. She also didn't pressure me to buy a bunch of products. I came out with a lovely cut that lasted for months!
I have been seeing Renee now for 9 months and am extremely happy with her. She has amazing curls herself and is a big believer in working with what you have rather than fighting it. She is by far the best hair stylist I have ever been to. I highly recommend her.
Unfortunately I didn't have as nice a review as the others at this Salon with Renee. She is as cute as a button, but when I was having my hair done - she said she didn't like the clumps in my hair - said it was too defined. I walked out with curls yes but frizz more. The product she used contained silicones which I later found out. Was so unhappy I drove immediately home and redid my hair - couldn't face being seen in public with that much frizz.
I had not had a haircut for one year due to fear from having had terrible haircuts in the past. I had to be in Ottawa for a few days, so I decided to search NaturallyCurly.com to see if there were any great curly reviews for salons in Ottawa. I found one for Renee at Boss Arts, so I made an appointment. I went to the salon today and before seeing Renee, I was offered a cappucino, tea, water or glass of wine (I declined), then I was taken to a seat where I got a great shoulder and head massage, then my hair was given a great wash on a fantastic reclining chair (where I almost fell asleep).
Then I was taken to Renee who was not only great to talk to, but who gave me easily the best haircut I have ever had.!!!
I can't say enough about Renee at Boss Arts. She is by far the best hair stylist I have ever gone to see. She gave me a great cut and even better highlights. The salon itself is an Aveda concept salon with very friendly and helpful staff. They will also pay for your parking - unheard of for a downtown salon! If you're looking for a stylist who will work with your curly hair, give her a try; you won't be disappointed.

Review:
Thanks to the recommendations made here, I went to see Renee today. She gave me (by far) one of the best hair cuts I've ever had. She cut my hair dry; I have never had a stylist do that before - what a difference.
Renee has gorgeous, curly hair herself. She made suggestions about what products to use, the order that she uses them in and the amounts. I learned today that the reason I wasn't getting the results that I wanted was that I (a) wasn't using enough product and (b) was waiting too long to put it on.
I would highly recommend Renee.

Review:
I recently went curly for the first time - having straightened my hair for years.
Renée, who has amazing crazy curls herself, was just great! She cuts my hair dry and also insisted I come back a week or so later to do a free 15-minute touch up once the curls settled in (and I got used to my new curly look).
She gave me a really stylish, funky look - which is exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend her for curly girls in the Ottawa area!
