Last month I realized I needed a haircut more then I have ever needed a haircut in my entire life…read more My hair had not been trimmed in several months, I had 6-month old half-grown out colour that had faded to the max, and I was *thisclose* to taking the razor to the whole thing ala. Britney. I am particular about my hair and about it looking good so I don't like to trust it to just anyone. Seeing as my hairstylist I have had since BIRTH is in Cole Harbour, I now live in the North end of Halifax with no car, and she is extremely hard to get an appointment with anyway, I decided it was high time to find a place in my own hood. I had noticed Flaunt salon open up a few months before (it opened mid-October 2010) because I walk by the old house it's located in every day after work (you can't miss that big, round window in the front!). It looked like a nice, fun place, plus, you can't beat a 5 minute walk from my apartment. So, I thought I would give it a try. Well, seriously I think I had the best haircut of my LIFE that day. Now, I really really needed a haircut so to be honest, ANY change to my style would probably have made me completely over-the-moon, but it was more than that. I was randomly paired up with Laurel and she was lovely - very friendly with a sunny personality - so I felt in good hands right from the beginning. I brought a picture to give her an idea of the kind of look I wanted and she made it look exactly like that! She gave me a great asymmetrical bob style with tons of layers, but kept it long enough that I could still pull at least the front back - you know, she actually LISTENED to me (which doesn't always happen at salons, am I right, other high-maintainence hair people?). The salon itself is small (I think only 5 chairs) and so it's quiet but also encourages conversation amongst patrons. There is an air of exclusivity to it - like you are at a place that requires you to make an appointment 6 months in advance and where you could easily shell out $200 for a cut. Now, don't get me wrong, this place is a tad pricey - I was actually surprised when she told me the total at the end of my appointment and it came to $57 before tip (so almost $70 total - eeps). However, to me it was worth it because she did a great job with my cut. Also, I don't necessarily mind paying a bit more money for the convenience and experienced stylists. Unfortunately I can't speak for how much a colour or other treatments would cost but I imagine they are not cheap either. One thing that I also found a tad odd was that they don't take credit cards (only debit, cash or cheque) so those of you on a budget and who like your plastic, be forewarned. Also keep in mind that they have more limited hours than other salons (the latest they are open is 8pm and that's only one or two nights a week I think...the other nights I believe it is 6pm) and they are limiting their hours even more over the summer, so book at least a week ahead. One thing is for sure about this place - you will definitely walk out of here with something to Flaunt!

Recently arrived in the North End of Halifax, I walked into Helen's Hairstyling near my home and…read moremade an appointment. I ended up with Georgia, and it was a lucky day for me and my hair! I had gone from dark brunette back to blonde 6 months earlier, and still had a little bit of brassy orange in my hair. Georgia blasted me back to a wonderful honey-blonde and layered my grown-out, messy hair into a stylish, face-framing cut. I look ten years younger, and this hairstyle is so much easier to keep tidy. Not only is Georgia a master of what she does, but she's also incredibly sweet, funny and highly sensitive to her clients' needs. I was an esthetician for many years, and I'm very particular and tough to please. Georgia got my new cut and colour spot on, and I had a fun-filled few hours in her chair and some good laughs. Her prices are very reasonable and fair when you compare her high skill set to nearby salons that charge much more. I can confidently say I've found one of the best hairdressers in Halifax, and I won't be having anyone other than Georgia do my hair services from now on. Thank you, Georgia :-D

The salon has about four chairs for hair services and a private room for the esthetician. We booked three appointments for nail services which were reasonably priced, although the online price list is out of date. As demonstrated by numerous certifications hung on the wall Alayne, the esthetician, has many years of experience in the business. Alayne was very kind and accommodated the three of us in her room so we could chat and served us coffee/tea. The space is simple but spotless and provides all standard OPI nail products and relaxing spa music.

My hair is incredibly stubborn.

I went in to the Hair Factory for a hair trim and full dye job -- punky but feminine, with short black hair on the sides/back and a silver faux hawk on top... HOLY SMOKES. These guys were not only incredibly friendly and welcoming (they brought me coffee and snacks while I was waiting!), but Vlad did an INCREDIBLE job on my 'do. I've officially found my new favorite hair salon, period.

After moving away from my regular hairstylist of 4 years, I bounced from stylist to stylist for…read moreanother 2 years. I had a longish pixie that I was looking to grow out at the time. Well, by the time I arrived at the Hair Factory, my hair was down to my chin with no texture, substance, or shape whatsoever. I was beyond frustrated, telling stylist after stylist what I wanted and no matter what I paid, always coming out with a flat hair shape that would just take longer to somewhat style with a flat iron. I booked an appointment with Karen Melay after receiving a referral from a coworker of mine. I wanted someone who was very familiar with short hair and could, at this point, work wonders on my hair. It took me 5 minutes to describe my frustrations and what I wanted, and I kid you not, it took her 2 minutes for me to instantly feel better about my hair. The appointment obviously took a little longer than 2 minutes, but she knew exactly what I wanted and I came out with an incredible hairstyle I haven't seen in 2 years! The atmosphere of the salon is definitely warm and inviting; the stylists have a really great cohesion between them, and you can definitely tell. Not only will I be back, but I'll be spreading the word to anyone looking to find a stylist willing to not only listen to what YOU want, but actually understand your hair as well. Added bonus: It's on the waterfront, with a couple of restaurants nearby, so you can walk down the boardwalk showing of that sexy new 'do. Haha
