Wooooowwwiiieeee, this salon is literally one of them made for the geeks and the nerd culture of…read moreVancouver. The staff is EXTREMELY friendly and omg, the vibe is the best. The walls, decor are all filled with nerd culture within our generation. On top of that, they have a stack of comic books where magazines are usually placed. And of course, who reads magazines when you can dive into a new world of comic books of dark fantasy and heavy lore for a couple hours while you wait for your hair to be done. The great thing is that it is located in New West, where no one will know me and I can wear ugly clothing to my hair cut appointment and then get home without being seen. On top of that, there are tons of place to park on the street as well! Just look carefully and you will find some good spots! My stylist, Ashley is extremely experienced as they literally did my hair cut before the pandemic. Granted, they just browsed through my Instagram for a little bit and they gave me the hair style. It was perfect and the length is exactly how I wanted it! Thanks Ashley for doing such an AMAZING job~!! I will be booking in the future for my coloring, because I need some hair pop before the summer starts!! They for sure gained an amazing customer for life!

I decided I finally wanted to try getting a haircut again, and so I found Emma on IG, saw all of the cool shit they do and immediately booked w them. They spent so long looking at my hair and asking questions about what I wanted (I wasn't sure and didn't know what to ask for tbh), and then proceeded to give me the best haircut I've had in my life. I've never liked my hair this much, had it cut that good or styled that good. I also have never received so many compliments on my hair immediately after leaving the salon, and I still am?! If ur nervous ab getting ur hair cut or just need a new place/stylist, go here!!! Would rate 7 stars tbh

I will definitely be back, I can see why she said some folks come from the island to see her!

I haven't been this satisfied for a looong time!…read more Yesterday, being a holiday, I could barely find anywhere to go that was open. When I saw the special for this place I stopped by and begged! They were so kind (and I'm guessing it was the manager) that they agreed to take me in on such a busy day. Parking was going to be waaaay better than dt. Charmaine was lovely. She spent about an hour and agreed to add some curl to my wavy hair that usually looks frizzy when I do it. Nakry was equally as great, and I felt really lucky to have had both of them style it. Today, my hair is still bouncing with curl and is neither sticky nor stiff. As with all "finds" I was reluctant to write this, except that they were so incredibly wonderful. My stylist was a former Suki's member, which happened to be my former salon. Next time I need my hair cut/coloured, I'm going to give this place a chance. It's classy and the stylists are all nice and cordial. They really made my day! Total cost $48 dollars with over a 20% tip and included a $20 conditioning treatment and scalp massage. So if any man happens to be reading this...now you know why we women expect you to pay for us on a date if we get "dolled" up. It has nothing to do with chivalry or women's lib; little do you know that we've already spent at least $300 before the night has begun.

So I decided to give this place another try because the owner/ (manager?)/ stylist Chuck PM'd me on…read moreyelp kindly asked me to try the place again.* I booked an appointment with my sister (both she and I have been here before and felt a-ok but not stellar about it. So we were both willing to give this place another try. I'm glad I did because I realize that it is ery difficult to rate an entire salon based on the experience of one of their stylists. This time I was reccommended Karen. And let me tell you she did EXACTLY what I wanted.** What I loved about Karen is that I told her exactly my issues and she listened and did what she could to accept it. (unlike other places where they either refute that they are issues and/or decide to not listen) For any other east asian haired ladies, this is usually what I tell my hairdresser (YES, I'm SO low maintenance that I'm actually high maintenance when it comes to a salon- but if i'm paying good money and you are trained well I expect you to listen and do what I say***): -I cut my hair once a year and it NEEDS to grow out well. -I DON'T OWN a comb, conditioner, hair products. I'm strictly a shampoo everyday, airdry and leave the house kinda girl. Styling involves me running my fingers through my hair and sayin, "that's about right.." -If you use a stright iron on my STRAIGHT ASIAN HAIR I will hurt you. -I don't do razors. Just say no if you're even thinking it. C'mon, just use scissors. -I want to avoid altogether the "frizzy triangle" (you know what I'm talkin about) -And I need them to thin out my hair and get as much volume at the crown of my head as possible because I have thick hair, and a lot of it, that easily falls flat at the end of the day (which also coincides with the "frizz triangle") Karen listened and gave me a pretty sweet cut. she double checked with me to see if using conditioner and product was ok with me and she did a really quality job ensuring it looked like how I wanted it. I ended up with some sort of rocker chick, ultra layered, BIG do. Think borderline elvira/ shape of a Q-tip. Haha, I know that isn't the nicest description but it is basically the exact shape I wanted because I will tell you- there IS no such thing as flat or frizzy-triangle with THIS cut. which is EXACTLY what I wanted. My sister got a really clean cut bob- which is also what she wanted. I forget the name of her stylist but she was super cute. Oh, and the shampoo boy (josh?) does a pretty good head massage even though I avoid touching at all costs. (he styles too at cost b/c he's training I think) highly reccommend Karen as a stylist. And, ps: new customers get 25% off NOW pps: they gave my sister 25% off even though she wasn't a new client. Good place- would definitely go with Karen again.**** *I really appreciate it when business owners make offers to yelpers- I really like how business owners respond to feedback and try to do better for their customers. **You can read my horror stories of other places where I have given extensive reviews: http://www.yelp.ca/biz/aveda-institute-toronto#hrid:Vr_wQXqi5Levet3gbe2rGg http://www.yelp.ca/biz/caramel-salon-vancouver#hrid:S4DYsUwVRn1DIP-uQTyESQ ***Note, I don't request it in that sassy of a manner- this list is true but the phrasing is for humourous purposes only. ****They have different price ranges here- Karen is on the upper end- you can check out their site. she probably borderlines slightly over the girl I see at Suki's http://www.yelp.ca/biz/sukis-international-vancouver#hrid:OWQUKLfGV27a74RQMMJtzg I'm torn between which stylist I like more- I think it really depends on whether I'm in the mood for a bigger salon (sukis) or a smaller one (banzai)
