I typically don't do anything special with my long hair. I shampoo it, I let it air dry, and I have…read moreit cut annually. That's about it. However, having lived in many cities across the globe for research, for those annual cuts I have patronized salons everywhere from central London, Mumbai, and Bogotá to DC and Chicago. Then between COVID, childbirth, and postpartum hair shedding this year, I let my hair care lapse for even longer and was in need of some serious help. Being new to this area, a friend recommended that I check out Salon Halloo, located just five minutes from my house. I booked an appointment with the owner, Shannon, and I proceeded to have a great experience - so great, in fact, that I will now happily seek regular hair maintenance through Salon Halloo. I love how Shannon really listens to her clients and delivers a custom cut based on both what you want and what flatters your face and physique. For me, I chose to keep things simple with light, face-framing layers and a nice, rounded look in back. She cut it in such a way that my fringe of hair regrowth will blend into the softer layers around the face and throughout my head. Shannon was also very gentle with my hair; I felt no pulling or aggressive brushing - which I find is fairly common and leaves my sensitive scalp feeling irritated. But not here, and not with her! Her many years of experience are evident in the delivery and quality of her artistry. I happily agreed to book another appointment in January for a maintenance cut to keep up with the copious hair regrowth and keep my mane looking professional, and I'm already looking forward to it! Don't hesitate - book your next hair appointment at Salon Halloo!

The salon was clean and had a welcoming, positive vibe. The location was a bit hard to find since…read moreit's inside another business or building, so clearer directions would help future clients. The stylist was very kind and seemed knowledgeable. She arrived 1-2 hours late due to Portland traffic, which did affect my schedule, but she communicated the delay and remained professional. I got a trim and silk press last summer, and it looked great at first, but unfortunately, my hair reverted by the next day. That was disappointing, especially for the price. There was also an additional charge for my 4C natural hair, which wasn't clearly explained upfront. Since her services are marketed toward natural hair, I expected more transparency around pricing. That said, I do want to acknowledge that there aren't many Black hair care businesses in Vancouver, and I truly want to see them succeed. I hope her services and communication continue to grow.

I had several community members share that they go to April at Bliss. April is truly a professional in every way! She is methodical in her cut and styling, with my heavy straight hair it's not easy to get my hair to lay correctly nor hold its shape- April keeps my hair healthy and styled perfectly!! My color treatments are fun to get- I show her the tone and effect I'm going for, she provides her expert knowledge and I've always been happy with the results. Thank you April- your staff and location are always inviting - i I look forward to our visits!!
