I had an amazing experience with Georgia at Head Waze! I went in with 4 months of root growth needing blonde highlights, a root tap, and a cut. She suggested a beautiful new style I love, gave me the best colour I've seen in years, and was incredibly knowledgeable about products. Georgia is professional, easy to talk to, and truly stands apart from others. I'm thrilled to have found a stylist who knows her stuff! Plus the salon had a great vibe, it was bright and cheery and a friendly place to go. Highly recommend! read more

Head Waze - Hair Salons Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

I called at 0900 to confirm my appointment which was in an hour... the person who answered the phone assured me everything is on schedule and even encouraged me to BE ON TIME!! So I get there 0950 hrs and follow their procedures... mask on... wait at door... sign waiver.. and then notice that Carly, the person who was supposed to do my hair was in THE MIDDLE not the END of doing someone's hair! The receptionist who had asked me to sign a waiver and wait outside in the chilly shadow of the bldg assured me that she would tell me when Carly was done... I waited until 3 minutes past my scheduled appointment before leaving. We are all doing our best under COVID circumstances... but come on... get it together.. I had explained two weeks earlier about my schedule and was promised that I would not be waiting... what a waste of my time!! read more

What a great salon! Awesome friendly atmosphere every time I go in. They always make it easy to book an appointment. Been to see Daniella and Tara- they both do an amazing job! read more

Immediately after walking into this salon and speaking with Brittany, I knew I just had to share my experience after having my hair done this last Wednesday. The goal of my appointment was to get my balayage brought up and toned for my graduation dance the next day. The only problem I was having beforehand was finding a salon that would take on washing my hair while having my face first into the bowl. I have cervical vertigo and I am unable to put my neck in certain positions or I will trigger vertigo (dizziness). I have had my hair done by a freelance hairstylist last summer but that alone costed $300. With the freelance hairstylist who came to my home she allowed me to hop in the shower instead of putting my head back in a sink. At Headwaze, Brittany, who did my hair let me know it was no problem having my hair washed frontwards. She was also a new employee so I got half off of $180. My hair process took 4 hours. Having my hair washed face first was messy but everyone in the salon was extremely accommodating and understanding of my situation. This is the first salon I came across after a lengthy search for a salon that was trained to be able to wash my hair out without needing me to put my head back and/or was willing to make a temporary mess. I hope this helps someone who has any sort of issue putting their heads back or even just anyone who is interested in the atmosphere and professionalism this salon possesses. read more

I've lived in the Heights for 15 years, and have been a loyal client of Head Waze for 13 of them. My first stylist in 2010 was Melissa, then Daniella, and now I've been with Ari since she started working at the salon. Ari is extremely friendly, warm and kind. She knows exactly what style I'm trying to achieve, even if I don't quite know. She's very intuitive and knows what suits you. The hours fly by in her chair, as we always have great conversations. She's a color expert, and her specialty is blonding. I started with a very subtle, sun-kissed balayage to presently rocking a full head of blonde babylights. When you call the salon, request Arianna as your stylist. I would highly recommend her. She will have you feeling taken care of, pampered, and beautiful. You'll step out of the salon with stunning locks. read more

I have very long, fine, wavy hair and so when booking for my appointment, I asked for someone with a little more experience with this type of hair. Racheal was the stylist suggested to me by the receptionist, and Racheal did an amazing job!! I have definitely found my new go-to salon and stylist! I asked for long layers to emphasize my curls/waves and short curtain bangs to frame my face. I also asked for about 4 inches cut off. I am so happy with my hair. I also really liked that Racheal kept checking with me to make sure that I liked the length which opened the floor for me to ask for shorter curtain bangs or shorter on the length overall. Racheal was easy to talk to and made me feel very comfortable. All in all, it was a great experience and I suggest Racheal for anybody with a hair type similar to mine. read more

I found this place when they were promoting it on Hats Off Day. I spoke with Daniella on the phone before I came in. I have jet black roots and Daniella expertly lifted my hair's colour to a "natural silver". I was iffy about the natural silver as I wanted the greyish silver. I really wanted it. So, another 20 mins on the chair that i have sat for 5 hours. It was a long time, but she made sure I am happy with my colour before I leave. I am happy I found this place and Daniella who listened to my wants and needs. read more

I got a haircut by Sadie and she was SO great! Very fun, personable, and clear about my haircut. The salon has a lively and clean environment and I'll definitely be coming back and getting another haircut from Sadie! I love my hair so much! read more

Incredible hair salon! Been coming here for a super long time and always see the great work of the super talented stylists. Ask for Tara and Kamie if you can -- they're my favourite! read more

The staff seemed really friendly and another customer's haircut/blow dry looked fantastic unfortunately my haircutblow dry wasn't so fantastic. I felt she was still an apprentice and looked like she was still getting to grips with the blowdryer read more

Disclaimer: I got super low standards for hair salons and the such. This place was fantastic as all the ladies working there are super friendly. It was very nicely organized and super clean (is that a thing to note?). Anyway, Jenna cut my hair which turned out great and that's the only thing I asked for (i.e. short on the sides and layered on the top). If you are looking for prices, please just call in and make sure to make an appointment. I'm not sure what else I can say... Go for: friendly atmosphere and staff, pleasant decor Don't go for: rude staff, testosterone (I think this place is catered to women, but I'm not sure...) read more

I got hair cut and styled my hair last weekend. Awesome professionals! My hair is very curl and difficult to style but they could do. For sure I will be back:) read more

Last summer I had the brilliant idea to dye my hair a chocolate brown shade a la Lorelei Gilmore out of a box. Unfortunately it came out a garish black shade which did not suit my skin tone and needless to say was not quite the look I was going for. I went to Head Waze and saw Tara who was miraculously able to lighten my hair up to a natural golden brown without damaging it in one session. Since then she's added more highlights and it's now a dirty blonde shade that I'm in love with. Tara is a fantastic and talented stylist! Everyone at Head Waze is super friendly and welcoming. They always offer me something to drink and bring me a cookie. The salon is very clean and unlike several other salons in Vancouver that I've been to, there doesn't seem to be a high turnover in stylists, so there's always familiar faces. It's definitely a gem of the Burnaby Heights neighbourhood! read more

I needed to find a new stylist, which can be pretty stressful, so I used Yelp, to help me with my decision. Head Waze had fantastic reviews, and after deciding on them I can see why! I couldn't be happier with my whole experience. Gillian did a fantastic job from beginning to end. My cut and colour looks amazing and the head massage was a added bonus. We discussed the best way to get my hair healthy and growing again, as well she showed me products that would help, with absolutely no pressure to buy. I left feeling beautiful and pampered and I look forward to my next visit. Thank you Gillian and the staff at Head Waze for getting me in so quickly and making this transition for me such a pleasant experience. read more

I was very unhappy with my hair and also wanted to try another stylist, it's hard to choose a new hair salon. After reading reviews I decided to make an appointment, very friendly staff, Brittany did my hair, she spent the right amount of time, asked the right questions to understand my needs, she was nice and I love my haircut. Not everyone understands my curly hair. Highly recommended. read more

After reading the reviews this place was everything I expected and more. The staff were all friendly with a down-to-earth tone, the salon is clean and trendy. Being picky with my stylists all my life (due to my challenging hair volume and texture) this was proven to be a great reward in trying something new. Tara was professional and very detailed orianted, she checks with me every step of the way to make sure we are on the right track. I'm not sure if she does this every time or just cause this was my first visit but this boosted my experience level dramatically (Instead of worrying if the cut will turn out good). At the end, I got the exact cut that I wanted and a new stylist! Bonus: This salon cares for the environment! They are part of a recycling program which takes back used containers and hair! Gotta love this place! read more

Staff were polite. Hair cut took too long. Colour faded after 5 weeks with using salon colour protector products. Stylist left a long chunk of hair on one side of my short cut. Hair dryer does not reach all the way around the chair. Very disappointed for what I paid. Won't be back. read more

Tammie, the aesthetician, who works here does wonderful nail work, eyebrow shaping and facials. Highly recommend the shellac manicure and pedicures. Facials are very relaxing and she does a very thorough job with the extractions. Eyebrows are evenly shaped and that takes skill! One big emphasis is on cleanliness and hygiene. She doesn't take shortcuts. Uses a new nail file each time for each nail service. It is a very important step because you do not want to catch a fungal or hepatitis infection due to someone's poor hygiene practice. The prices are average salon/spa prices. read more

I have had really bad hair experiences and was also super nervous to cut or dye my hair. I met with Tara who was so patient and listened to what I wanted. She took the time to walk me through my options. I adore my hair and will be going back. If you need a hairdresser you need to see Tara, you wouldn't be disappointed! read more

After reading all ur reviews I booked an appt with one of the stylist, Daniela. She was so nice and knew exactly what I wanted and the cut turned out great! Very pleased, I'm gonna make this my go to salon. I've tried many salons to find one that was the most consistent because of the number of bad cuts I've had before. They are also family friendly with kids. Thanks for all the reviews! read more

Just had my hair done here by Cammi (?spelling) She did a great job. Excellent colour and highlights. I felt pampered the whole time. The staff brought me coffee and made sure I was comfortable. I will for sure be coming back. The salon is pretty and clean. read more

Hands down the best hair salon in North Burnaby. My stylist Daniella did an amazing job on my hair. They really take the time to give you the perfect cut, color that you are looking for. Great selection of awesome product and beautiful jewlery for sale. The atmosphere of the salon is fun and social, and its clean and big and modern. read more

The staff overall were so lovely and sweet! Tara, who did my balayage, gave me a hair color that I didn't even know I wanted. We were going for pink pink so I was supposed to do two appointments but after my first and getting this purple-mauve colour, I love it enough to not need a second appointment! read more

Great salon. Very competent, friendly staff. And all for a very reasonable price. High marks for this establishment. Go see Mel. She's the best!! read more

I got my hair done by Ian a week ago and I still absolutely love it. As a natural brunette, I was very nervous about my desire to go for a very light blonde, but Ian was so patient in listening to what I was looking for and took the time to ensure he understood my vision. Throughout the process, Ian took wonderful care of me while maintaining his very upbeat and lively personality. He seemed to really love and take pride in his work, which is very comforting -- especially when you're going through a very big hair transition! He also provided tips for maintenance and focused on price-conscious solutions for my student budget. With curly hair I'm always on-edge when I get haircuts, but Ian definitely knew what he was doing. My curls have never looked better! Overall, everyone at Head Waze is very friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Just a shout out to the gang at Head Waze. I've been a client of Michelle's for years and am thrilled to see her operating out the new salon. Everyone's always so friendly and hospitable (sadly I'm not a tea or coffee drinker but if I were... SCORE!). Most importantly though, Michelle seems to have a magic wand that she's able to wave over my head and I come out looking and feeling great. She always offers good suggestions too for helping me manage my hair when she's (sadly) not around:) Highly recommend these guys! read more

Today was my first visit, Amanda cut and colored my hair and I love it!! I have never been happier with my hair! Amanda is an amazing stylist! The entire staff is warm and friendly and I felt welcomed the minute I walked in the door. read more

Great salon! I get my nails and waxing done regularly by Tammie and she is perfect every time! I always have her choose my colour and design which she does based on what I have going on in the coming weeks. She is very creative and fun to talk to. I highly recommend her! read more
