Review from Zoe J.

I followed my hairdresser, Rempel, here from Rain, near granville island, and I can tell you this is the place to get your hair cut.
Besides the unlimited amazing things I can say about Rempel, the location is awesome. It's super clean and huge and I love the industrial, yet streamline look of all the floor to ceiling mirrors and glass doors. They always offer me a complimentary drink when I come in, and everyone who works there is always very friendly.
But really, I think most people will get their hair cut in a cardboard box if the following things are right (which they are):
1) Price: For a woman's hair cut with wash, cut, style, it's definitely reasonable. I would say it's slightly more expensive than some other places, but in my opinion, the look and feel of iDaburn is way better, and there is a price to pay for an awesome stylist.
2) Stylist: I cannot say enough good things about Rempel, and, seeing as she cuts the hair of many of my friends who also have tons of good things to say, how can you go wrong?
She's super versatile: I was recommended to her by a girl with very tight ringlets, who raved about how great she was with curly hair. I have fine, straight hair, and she pulls magic with it to make it look styled, but not choppy or thin. My two closest girlfriends LOVE her (one with straight dyed hair, and one with thick wavy hair).
Also, she's tentative to what you want. Nothing bothers me more than someone who is cutting your hair and takes three inches where you asked for one. Seriously?! It's going to take forever for me to grow that out and make it look nice again, so I want it done right the first time. Great thing about Rempel? It's always done right the first time, because she's super talented and listens.
Lastly, she's super easy to chat with, which I love, because nothing is more awkward that a dead silent hair cut. I mean, you're staring at them working on your hair... conversation is a must, and Rempel is a rocking awesome conversationalist AND stylist.
In summation, unless you are a supercuts die-hard, I highly highly suggest this salon, and Rempel. -

If you're looking for a salon that gives great customer service - you're in the right place! They have an online chat on their site that is on during their business hours and I found it to be really convenient.
I saw a Molly for a cut and she was really sweet. I only really talk when I get along with someone, I don't like the awkward small talk. We talked very little but I think it's because of me - she tried haha. I was happy with my cut but I am not at all picky when it comes to hair cuts. I had a livingsocial voucher for the haircut.
I saw Rempel the same date for coloring - coloring I admit I am picky with. I have very dark brown hair that goes to the middle of my back. I have tons of gray hairs so I wanted my grays covered up and wanted to get purple peak-a-boo streaks. I was at the salon for 5 hours for this color. I think I was there for so long because Rempel was serving other people while I was sitting with my dye and such. The end product looked okay when I left, but when I got into work and told my co-workers how much I had paid for the color they were astonished. Before tip my total came to $170.00 - She did my roots only, bleached some blond streaks (5 in total I think?) and covered them with purple. The purple was not noticeable, and there were many blond spots showing on my hair (specially at the roots). Long story short - I used their online chat and told them I was unhappy. Went in a couple days later - spent another 3 or 4 hours in the salon to get it fixed (no charge of course!) and am now happy with my purple peak-a-boo streaks! (even though I have to put semi-perm color on it weekly to keep it bright, but I knew that was coming!).
Overall - I am satisfied with Rempel and Molly's work and the salon was nice! They even have a room for you to change in when they get you to put a salon robe on. -

I was greeted by friendly staff and offered tea so it started on a positive note but then it got worse. The sofa in the waiting area and the chairs are not very comfy and the salon was "running low on hot water" so my shampoo started with tepid water and ended up cold (my hair's really shiny now which is cool but I was really hoping for a relaxing time for my bi-annual trip to the hair salon). Even if it was a super busy Saturday afternoon, I was shocked that a hair salon (especially one that has such good reviews) wasn't able to provide a top-notch experience. I went there with a Livingsocial deal so I didn't feel I was entitled to complain (that will teach me, next time I'll pay full price...). Maybe they got too many customers from that Livingsocial ad and they can't keep up, that's too bad.
Haircut was ok but not "wow" enough to make me go back. I guess I caught them on a bad day. -

Rempel. Go see Rempel.
She asked what I wanted... I said Mod Goth... what did I get... exactly that. She did a great job. Like the other poster said... I am constantly getting compliments... it's even grown out really well. This chick knows hair. Let her do yours. -

Just an update to say this salon is still my favorite in the city - Rempel does WONDERS with my hair and I frequently get compliments on it. Plus they started a rewards program if you buy bumble & bumble product there - meaning after buying a couple of the big shampoos & conditioners I got a free hair powder!

The lovely Jane from Sugarbox recommended that I see the equally lovely Remple at iDaburn, so I popped in for a consultation.
As soon as I walked through the door, I felt a little intimidated by the complete floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall stylishness of the salon. Tall ceilings, lots of mirrors, bright, clean and very minimalist in the trendiest, but most positive way possible. Of course, as quickly as the intimidation swept over me, it was as if they took a broom and swept it away with all the leftover hair on the floor. This is mostly thanks to the guy working behind the front desk who very politely greeted me with a sincere, non-judgmental smile. Remple was busy, but he booked me for a consultation a couple days later.
When I came in the for the consultation, I was greeted again with the same incredibly welcoming courtesy, offered a drink, and I didn't need to wait long to finally meet the lovely Remple.
While it seems most might describe her as spunky-funky-awesome right off the bat (which is definitely true), the first thing I noticed was the most important thing I look for in a stylist: passion. Immediately, I could see that she loves her job and loves using her magical powers to make people look like mermaid-unicorn-goddesses. Of course, this is the look that I was trying to achieve and I'm sure if you wanted something more subtle than the outrageously vibrant purples/pinks/blues I got done, she could do it. And why am I so confident? Because she *listens*. Her dedication and honesty really came through when she spent 45 minutes in a consultation with me, taking the time to test my damaged hair to see what could be done to turn a previous hair salon's mess-up into something effin rad.
I was able to get an appointment with her one week later.
When I arrived, they made me feel right at home again and Remple and I picked up right where we left off. I really appreciated how she talked me through what she was going to do and checked in on how I was doing, all the while, not seeming fake or too chatty/annoying as some hairstylists are. Conversation was pleasant, neither forced nor discouraged. (I'm the kind of person who really needs to feel some sort of click with the stylist -and the click was definitely there!)
...of course, I could go on and on about the "customer service" aspect of my experience, which was an 11 out of 10, but maybe I'll move on to the quality.
I believe that Remple takes her time because she is a perfectionist. And I appreciate that so much. She was super duper thorough, making sure each and every strand had the attention it deserved and left no foil unturned. On top of that, I got a great run-down of all the colours and products she used as well as quick cheats to finding the right colours around town for my own retouching at home. She's very gentle and gives a damn good scalp massage. Overall, a true professional, incredibly informed and educated about what she's doing and what a perk, an amazing person.
I can't wait to go back!
Summary: I've never been more ecstatic about my hair in my life. -

I only tried this place because I got a groupon for a good price. It was good for the price I paid, but I don't think it's worth full price. Don't get me wrong -- they're good, but nothing spectacular. I have to admit, I'm a bit harder to please because I don't want anything outrageous or different -- but I do want a really good haircut with style. I got an okay hair cut here, but only something I'd pay around $40 for.
