Akemi Salon

I'm giving Sabi, sometimes called Michael Bradley, 5 stars, but that's only because that is the maximum number of stars here. A fair review would be more like 20 stars. Being a transfemme I'm always nervous going into these places but not at Akemi and absolutely not with Michael. Sabi put me at ease, gave me really good info and clear explanations, and most importantly did a fantastic job on my hair. I walked out of there with more confidence than I've had in forever. Services: Shampoo & conditioning, Haircut, Hairstyling

Michael Bradley aka Sabi has been my stylist for over 6 years, they are highly skilled at their craft and I would recommend them to anyone. He is able to take the essence of what I describe and translate it into the colour and style I really want. It can be difficult to find a stylist that is good at both colouring and styling, Michael absolutely excels at both, pairing expertise with taking adequate time to construct the shared vision between client and stylist. He also makes great product recommendations that truly fit what you need.

Sabi (Michael) does amazing colour, has incredible scissor technique, and is the best I've ever had at understanding what I want and getting me there in the most sustainable (for me!) way. He understood the level of effort I was willing to put in, the level of knowledge I do and don't have, and was able to put together a plan very quickly. Wonderful conversation and just a delight. 10/10 will return
