Since moving back to Vancouver have been looking for a hair stylist that could cut my wavy and…read morecurly hair. One of my friends recommended Rupy and I am so happy with my haircut! Rupy did an in depth consultation on my hair type, how I like to style it, as well as my curly hair routine. She gave me plenty of helpful advice on how to improve my hair maintenance without breaking my wallet or adding time to the routine. I look forward to getting my hair cut with Rupy again!

East Vanity Parlour is like a very sexy sitcom with its ever constant cast of characters and…read moreglamourous special guests, that always guarantees excellent opportunities to eavesdrop and a rotating door of fabulous do's to admire. The "Cheers" of the burlesque world, where everyone knows your name, and stage name, and abbreviation of stage name that has gained a serious and loyal following of us muggles as well. If I could show my love for this little nook through interpretive dance it would include a lot of floaty, graceful gestures with a few aggressive pelvic thrusts for good measure. I have a big heart on for this magical little den of sass. If it WAS a sitcom, the owner Kristi would definitely be the main character. This larger then life bundle of positive energy always has something creative and amazing on the go and she bursts through the place every so often carrying beauty supplies, boas and occasionally oversized props and macabre art work. The beauty, brains and brawn behind East Vanity Parlour is a magician with a comb - if you're very very lucky, you will land her for an updo and be forever spoiled. Whether it be a twist on a classic vintage style or something completely over the top, a Kristi up-do is a must on my big night out mission list. The cast of supporting characters are as colorful as their fearless leader. I now sport a very particular little bob and have had a total of five different lovely ladies clip and cut it over the last year - each one as great as the last - even with my beast of bangs! It's one of those places where the conversation flows naturally and you'll find yourself chatting with your neighbours about everything from mundane grocery shopping to fetish nights and the eccentric artwork strewn around the room. In the depths of my workaholic days I used to book a trim just to kick my heels up and have an interesting conversation for an hour or two. When it comes to anything vintage inspired - don't even bother going elsewhere. These ladies are the masters! Ever wondered how to do authentic finger waves? Because they can show you... *swoon*. Bonus points to free bang trims and the fun array of cute hair flowers & LIT cosmetics available for sale on-site. The secret is obviously out because this place is ALWAYS bonkers so plan to book a week or two in advance and be prepared to become fiercely loyal to your new salon because EVP fans are lifers. For this girl, if you're not EVP, you're not touching my hair - period.

I hate to ever give a negative review of a small business, but I feel strongly that the public…read moreneeds to be warned about what happened to me last week. I was thrilled to see another hair salon open on The Drive because I love to support new businesses in my community. I had my hair cut and coloured two previous times by Nikki, (who is a fantastic stylist), and was happy to continue to see her every month. I had an appointment last week at 10:00 am and sadly woke up at 5:00 am feeling very sick. I messaged my stylist through Instagram and I messaged Bangtown to let them know I couldn't make it in because I was so sick and promised to rebook as soon as I felt better and I went back to sleep. When I woke up again I tested myself and was positive for Covid and saw there was a voicemail from the owner, advising me to come in even if I was a "little bit sick" or they would have to charge me anyway. She went into a two minute long explanation of "industry standards" etc. that I found to be slightly condescending as I was now, in my mind, a regular client who wasn't stuck in traffic, as she also inferred,(I kept the message). So I called the shop back and said "I received your long winded slightly condescending voicemail and need to let you know I have Covid. She cut me off and started yelling at me because she didn't like the wording I used even though that was how I felt and I am entitled to say how I feel as a customer. She then hung up on me. A few seconds later she called back. I was thinking she was going to apologize because she was obviously having a bad day but instead she told me I was banned from her business and to go F*** myself!! I was shocked! Then I opened my bank account to see that she stole $279.00 from my account, the full value of the service I was booked for. I was a great customer who tipped 30% each time. This is nothing against Nikki, who is an excellent stylist. I sent an email to the owner giving her a chance to rethink this but received no reply. So I have filed a complaint with my bank and I will not be backing down on getting my money back from this company, even if I have to go to small claims court. I can understand if she had to charge me up to half, as per "industry standards" but to steal the full amount from my account because I was sick and wanted to rebook was wrong. I was not a NO SHOW. I called as soon as I could. I have since talked to other stylists on the Drive and they agree with me. There are exceptions to every rule or "industry standard".
