Long time customer of la bimbi belco. All staff are super professional and lovely. I usually get my hair cut by someone else each time and the end result and quality are always consistent. I really enjoyed the welcome massage that I received at arrival, but the last few times I havent got one but assume its due to COVID or something. I love this salon and Will recommend to anyone in the belco area.

The service and employees were lovely, however it is extremely expensive for what it is. I don't hate my hair cut, but it is really choppy and I had that very cut look. JUST a hair cut cost me $109, I've had my hair coloured at other salons for just over this amount. Cannot justify how costly the experience was. Will not be back

I love coming here. Such a friendly welcome and I always get the cut I want. Colour stays vibrant and even can get late appointments after work.
