Mahyar is the best hair stylist I have ever gone to and now I am going to be a regular customer coming in every 3 months to keep up his fabulous cut. He is a down to earth guy-funny, intelligent, very knowledgeable about hair issues from better ways to wash and dry your hair, what products to avoid etc. I enjoyed the time he spent transforming my hair. I am delighted. I can't recommend him highly enough. R.S. read more

This place is great! Very friendly and nice people and most important of all they do an amazing job! I've been doing my hair colour and highlights with Mona for a few years now and never left the place unhappy. Always great results. Great haircuts too! read more

I had been looking for a good keratin place for years (one where my hair would stay straight for more than a few weeks) and my cousin told me about this place. I flew to Vancouver from California to try it and I would do it again in a heartbeat. It's been 6 months since I got it done and my hair still drys pretty straight. Everyone here knows what they're doing and the prices are reasonable for the service. I have extremely curly hair. One of the picture is from the day I got it done, and the other is from a couple of weeks ago, you can see it's still drying straight. Highly recommend. read more

I've been coming to this salon since I was 16 (22 now) and every single time I am awed by how talented Mahyar is. I don't trust anyone else to cut my hair, not even my bangs, and Mahyar is incredible with both cut and styling (the picture I put is after a cut and style by him). He's both amazing at cutting short and long hair. The staff is amazing overall- talented, friendly and accommodating, I can't say enough about how good this place is. Highly recommended, you'll wonder why you hadn't found it sooner:) read more

Salon 88 - 88 Beauty Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Wow.. So listen to my story.. Since I was about 14 years old and started caring about what I looked like, I had really curly hair which was a b***h to style and so iv been in search of a hairstylist who can cut my hair in a way that I can style it like david beckam lol And look no further, Mahyar was the answer to my prayer! I can honestly say that I would be depressed if he left Vancouver. This is gonna be one bad ass haircut. Trust me!! read more

Salon 88 - Beautiful!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Mahyar is the best! He changed my life by helping me step outside of my comfort zone with my hair. He is more than just a stylist but also an advisor, which I have not experienced before. He goes beyond just cutting your hair based on instructions or explanations of what style you want. He has a vision for people's hair and what would complement their features. Highly recommended! read more

I was visiting from California and I found Salon 88 on yelp. I read the reviews and went to visit the salon, which was very high and happy energy. She is the best hairdresser and was able to bleach my hair from black to blonde without hurting or damaging my hair. Many hairdressers are afraid or hesitant to make such a drastic change but she was up for the challenge. My hair is as soft as ever, I am so grateful to Miss Goli. read more

Salon 88 - Hair by Goli! (black to blonde hair) - Hair Salons Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Two stars for the location and getting the task done, which was a simple trim for me. If you don't care by how many people randomly touching your hair, how your hair is being cut, how weird the position you're taking while your hair is being cut, or which part of your body is being pressed against, then by all means take your chance! read more

The resident make up artist/beautician Goli did a killer job on my brows. Eyebrows are the kind of thing you pluck or thread every now and again and just as long as they're not out of control you're happy. Then Goli comes along and reshapes them and it changes the whole look of your face for the better and you wonder how you lasted so long without her! read more

I think Mahyar is the best barber in town, I always get a smart haircut which I can style it easily and it last long. He is always fashion forward. The products and services they provide are great! I do Keratin treatment by Goli and never had any issues read more

I've been to this salon twice now at the recommendation of a friend of mine for Keratin Hair Straightening Treatment. Goli has literally taken my daily hair routine from an hour everyday to 15 minutes. I've had Keratin done before but never have I had such smooth silky hair post treatment. I no longer need to straighten with an iron. Just a simple blow dry and I'm left with smooth shiny hair. This salon may not be glitzy but they get the job done! Thanks guys! read more

I have super curly hair and finally I found a salon downtown that does a great job at keratin treatment. I have been straightening my hair ever since I was 9 years old and 88 beauty is now my fav spot to get my hair done. Not only their services are great but their prices are even better. I highly recommend anyone with curly hair to try them out! I also got my highlights done and Mona does an amazing job. read more

I looked around for a long time before I found Mahyar and 88 Salon. Always leave here with a smile and looking good. Mahyar is a life long learner and while gives a perfect cut already he routinely attends seminars out of town to further improve his trade. He will also take time to discuss your style with you, new styles which are popular, and how to maintain your hair between visits to keep it looking perfect. Highly recommended. Free parking downtown is a bonus. read more

Mahyar is the best. I have been visiting them for the past 4 years and everytime I am amazed. He is very professional and talented.

Salon 88 is the best hair salon in Vancouver. I have been going there for years and I have never had anything short of an amazing experience. The general family atmosphere created by Mahyar and Goli is second to none. Every time you walk into the salon you are refreshed with positive energy, and you leave incredibly happy knowing you received high quality service at an affordable price. I truly would recommend Salon 88 to anyone looking for a hair stylist in the city of Vancouver. read more

I had the worst salon experience ever. I have been to this salon three times but I will absolutely not return again after my latest appointment. (Full disclosure: I arrived at my appointment an hour early, as his online booking showed he had the time free before my appointment. Turned out not to be the case.) When I arrived, I was fully ignored for 15 minutes. It's a small salon so the staff definitely noticed me. When I was acknowledged, they were curt and barely audible, with the loud music in the background drowning out her voice. A junior stylist washed my hair in FREEZING water. It was so cold that I had to say something- she insisted that the water was fine. I ended up with a headache from being submerged. After the washing, I waited, again ignored until 20 minutes past my appointment time (I has now been in the salon for 1 1/4 hours). Khoda is a good stylist, I will admit, but his attitude and arrogance is more than I could bear. He talked non-stop about himself, how he wants to be invited to parties, how he's better than any other stylist, how he has clients from all over the world, etc. Though these statements may be true, the arrogance in his speech was beyond belief. He cut my hair and moved on to the next client. I was ready to pay but had to wait 10 minutes until a staff member rang up my bill. She charged $20 more than the quoted price on Yocale.com. By this point I had had enough. I paid the bill, left no tip, and departed, never to set foot in that salon again. The salon itself is dirty and worn out. The washroom is filled with stuff, along with a styling head mounted on the wall behind the toilet. The ceiling is full of water stains, the salon counters were covered in dust and hair, and I did not see anyone using disinfectant on any of their tools. If you are looking for a good but inexpensive haircut, try Chura salon. At least the stylists are friendly and considerate. read more

I did the Keratin treatment in this salon and I am supper satisfied . My hair feel soft and strong and better than ever. The product's quality , price and service are all great . I highly recommend this salon . read more

Thanks to Goli who did a great job on my hair today! I went in to have my highlights re-done and came out with a great new look. The colour is so much more natural than my previous colour and my hair feels really soft and healthy. I used to go to an expensive West End salon but Goli did a fantastic job for half the price. Salon 88 is just one block form my apartment, so that's a plus too. I'm really happy soo 5 stars for this salon. read more

This is the best salon in town. I can't imagine going anywhere else for Keratin. Goli knows what she is doing, very professional and such a nice modest person. read more

I have thick hair and because my hair is curly I have to keratin it. Goli's keratin treatment is one of the best I have tried. It stays on for one year, without me needing to iron it or to touch up my keratin treatment. I'm very happy with my hair and how long lasting the treatment is . read more

Mahyar is an amazing stylist. He does a great job suggesting styles that fits your face frame and has managed to execute pretty much any style that I have asked him. Goli did highlights on my hair that i have been getting complements on by everyone. Their prices are very reasonable and I haven't seen an unhappy costumer walking out of this salon in the past four years that I have been their client. read more

I rely on on Salon 88 for whatever beauty needs I may have. Goli does my permanent straightening and i'm so happy with the results. Mona highlights my hair with bleach and although it has chemicals in it from the permanent straightening, my hair does not get damaged and is very healthy after the process. Last but not least Mahyar takes care of my cuts and does an amazing job. I'm a happy girl and I would recommend Salon 88 to anybody who is looking for a reliable and professional beauty salon. read more

The staff ws arrogant and ignored me,i was shocked to look at the celebrity behavior of the girls. Mehar looked at me and asked the gals to attend me twice but no response. I approached Mehar and asked for a cut,he said he was booked I was walk in.(I dnt give my hair to cut to anyone and walk in to see Hw the salon and the staff is ) Since it was raining I decided for eyebrow threading,bad decision.my eyebrow were plucked with tweezers,twice asked to thread she said yes yes and still plucked them.she asked me if u wanted long brows or short I said long and the result was short brows and the ends were nt shaped(they were left stubbed)the brows were different and over plucked. I was unhappy so didn't tip $15 in total. I approached Mehar in btw his appointment and asked him wt style cut is good for my hair.Mehar suggested me keratin.he also told me I dnt need a cut. 1 )l know I need a cut since my last cut was in May in hongkong 2) I have long curly hair till waist with no split ends and he did not even touch my hair to chk the texture.then how he decided keratin. Mehar pointed me to a client in salon who just got keratin done and asked his other male client when was his keratin done to impress me. I notice 3 his male clients had same style and cut just diff length. I asked how to pay and was Mona smiled at me.i am a humble person but decided nt to tip for such a service. read more

One of the most underrated salons in Vancouver. I guess because the owners are so busy that they do not mind being unnoticed. For a guy, I am not very demanding or picky, and only require limited services from a salon. But I can recognize a good service as I've been to various high/low profile stylists. From few visits here, I can say Mahyar ( the main stylist ) knows his stuff. He is very friendly and down to earth, and makes sure you are happy with the work. Highly recommended ! read more

Mayer did my hair for my wedding and I absolutely loved how my hair looked. I got compliments all day and night on the classical yet unique look he did for me. My hair is thick and it was still holding at 1 am. I was so impressed that I wanted Mayer to give me a fresh layered look 3 months after the wedding. Again, I am loving my hair-do. Thanks Mayer, I'm thrilled and love your funny stories! PK read more

I was visiting from out of town and badly needed my roots re-done. I picked this place based on all the raving yelp reviews...and I truly regret it! I walked in and was asked to have a seat and no-one said anything to me for 10min. When I was finally seated and the lady with white and pink hair asked me what I wanted done, I told her I wanted a root touch up, she asks "what color?"....Um, it's a root touch up, so common sense would dictate that you match my existing color?? Anyway, I told her exactly that - to match my existing color. She pulls out a book of color swatches and says "pick a color" Now I've been getting my hair dyed for a while and no stylist has ever done that - we've picked out colors *together* just so that they have an idea of what I'm looking for if I'm doing an all-over color. Most of the time the stylist will know what shade will look right. I had no clue what to go with (my hair is a dark brown) so I picked something that looked dark brown on the swatch. I asked her if she thought this would match my current color but she just closed the book and walked away. Then came back a minute later to ask me again because she forgot the number of the swatch! I waited for a while for someone to mix the color. The girl who applied it was very sweet but decided to sweep the whole salon before coming back to me, and then forgot to put Vaseline on my hairline so the color extended a good half inch onto my skin. She then had to scrub my skin hard with rubbing alcohol for ten mins to try and get it out (which didn't work). My roots now look orangey-red and awful. I will be paying someone else to fix this. Definitely not a good experience. read more

Mahyar is the best I could find in Vancouver. He spends a lot of time to satisfy you and make sure that you get what you wanted. You leave there with a happy face for sure! read more

If you wanna try a dramatic hair dye that you have always been dreaming of having but never dared to try, or you have been thinking of a hot & funky hair style, stop wasting your time roaming the Internet trying to find a hair salon in yaletown, just make an appointment at 88 hair salon with Goli & Mahyar. 88 salon delivers amazing services with reasonable price...

Great salon, professional staff and reasonable prices. Had a Keratin treatment that lasted a year and came back for renewal. Ask for Goli Joon. She is amazing! read more

I always trust my Persian hair with Goli at salon 88. She is by far the best colourist I've ever been to. In the past my color has faded or turned red but it always stays vibrant when I've come here. They do the best ombré and will give you exactly what you want! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a change. read more

Goli and her team are absolutely amazing! They are loving and caring people! Goli has a big heart!! She takes care of you as if you are part of her family!! My hair took sooooo long and I was at her salon for almost 7 hours! There was a slight hiccup but they took care of it and I am definitely going again! She also knows what she's doing and knows what needs to be done and what color works for you!!! read more

Ever since I discovered this salon, I've never been disappointed. I keep going back again and again for a reason. Goli is a professional and does magic with hair colors. I have thick and curly hair and always have my hair keratin treated here and have never been happier with my hair. The staff are super nice and polite, and will do everything they can so that costumers leave the salon happy. read more

Mahyar is just amazing! As picky as I am about my hair (it is very unruly!) and after some seriously bad experiences, I finally found Mahyar! So glad I did... read more

I had a very good experience there and he is very professional in his job. Cutting my hear is very complicated but he did very well. read more

I get my hair done at this hair salon from hair cut, highlights and recently Keratin!!! Keratin has saved my life. Although I had some people telling me not do Keratin as it will damage my hair but because I was desperate I went ahead and did it. They are very professional at the this place and they told me what to do and what not to do to keep it healthy. I am so happy with their service! I recommended this hair salon to all my friends and family. read more

I have thick, naturally hair that needed some taming while traveling through the PNW. I decided I wanted to have it straightened after running out of hair product. Salon 88 was a short walk from the hotel I was staying at, and I was able to book an appointment online the night before, and received an immediate email confirmation. I was greeted by Mayer as soon as I walked through the door, and he let me know I would have to wait a few minutes. I think I waited maybe two minutes before a stylist walked in, swooped me to a shampoo bowl, and asked me my normal shampoo and condition routine before washing my hair. The stylist, who turned out be Mayer's stylish mom, blowdried and flat ironed my hair in about 30 minutes. I have to stress 30 MINUTES because I usually pay extra to have my hair straightened because it takes so long to dry with a blow dryer and work out some of the curls with a flat iron. I was impressed with the quick and wonderful service I saw everyone at Salon 88 receive, and Mayer's mom made me feel like family during my service. I actually saw her the next day while I was getting my nails done nearby and she waved at me when she saw me. Get your hair did at Salon 88! read more

I recently started going to Salon88 after my stylist moved from Vancouver. Salon88 was close to my Neighbourhood so I thought I would give them a try. Walking in, you see a fairly simple salon but very busy. While the staff are friendly they don't have time for small talk. I went with Mahyar for my cut. Clearly this guy knows hair. He described so much about my current stylist and how he cut my hair that you would think they knew each other. He showed me some pictures of hair he had cut and basically asked me to trust him. I did and I can tell you it was the best decision I ever made. This guy is a genius with scissors. In just a few short months he has transformed my hair and, just as he had said, has transformed the way I look. My only fear is that this guy is going to become so popular that I may not be able to see him as often or it might become way too expensive. In the meantime I will just enjoy the fact that I am probably getting a cut from one of this city's best stylist that, fortunate for me, not too many people know about. There is no doubt he loves what he does and it shows in his work. read more

I went there for Balayage and Keratin treatments in two different sessions. Don't bother get an appointment, because they would accept anyone anytime and would work on their "regular customers" first, no matter you had an appointment and they did not! I paid around $400 for something that I had to cut after two weeks. They didn't know difference between Ombre and Balayage, I showed Goli a picture and said I want something like this and she told her assistant she wants Ombre, I told her no this is actually Balayage, they kept calling it Ombre. Oh well, The Balayage wasn't even close to the picture that I showed them and they said it's because Keratin treatment changes the color! Ok does it also change the pattern that I asked for? In Keratin treatment Goli burned my scalp 3 times! not only she didn't apologize, she said your skin didn't get red nothing happened! like I was some kind of idiot who had lost her senses. They claim they have the best and cheapest treatment in town. Oh yes they have the cheapest, because they use the cheapest products which will wash off in two weeks and they are the best in ruining your hair, that I agree! read more
