My family and I are traveling in Quebec for a week and passed by this awesome salon the last day. I walked pass this salon today and just wanted a hair cut. At first, I was worried that there was no review on this salon on yelp. However, I had a really bad week due to work. I really wanted a dramatic change with a new hair cut. I wanted to give myself a fresh start before heading back tomorrow.
Okay. I digress.
I'm so happy with this hair cut! This is the best hair cut I have had in my life. I told Mrs Chu (the owner who opened this salon 26 years ago) just cut it all off or do whatever you think is best. You have total freedom. By just looking at her, you would think that how can this humble looking lady be a good hair stylist? But boy was I wrong. With decades of experience, it's no wonder she can cut it so well!
It was just her that day, because it was everyone's day off. I waa fortunate to have her cut my hair. I lost a lot of hair in the front due to my pregnancy with my son. She noticed that as she was cutting my hair and told me what style would work well with me.
She recommended a pretty modest haircut for me at first. That's actually what I got before a few times and I did look really with that style. But I said I want it short, concerned that I would regret it later. I ensured her that I won't regret it. Just do it whatever she thinks would be best with her professional experience! So she picked one from me quickly from the magazine and said " let's do this one! But I will shape it in a way that suits you."
She was just using a pair of scissors and did it super fast. I saw her picking out different strands of hair to cut methodically. The whole thing took 20 minutes? It was only 28 dollars with wash, cut and blow drying.
I was so hapoy with it. This is definitely the best cut I've ever had. My husband loved it too! I posted it on Facebook and everyone loves the new look. I have never ever had my hair this long. I don't know why I trusted her so much.
I have come to realize to not judge a book by its cover. I asked her how come she doesn't have reviews online... she said she doesn't advertise much and she just likes returned customers and word of mouth. well, I want a lot more people to know about her salon. I promised her I will write her a review on yelp if I like it. I like and love it! She really loves just making people looking and playing with hair. I hope to have her cut my hair again in the future. She said a lot of new people choose her son, because he's young and hip. I have never met him, but I bet she's better. :)
Almost forgot to add, she had 2 clients walked in after I came in. Good thing I came in there first. read more
