    I'm not sure what it is, but the older I get the more I'm willing to pay for certain things.  I used to be perfectly happy with bulk-buy cotton socks, until someone turned me on to "performance" moisture-free kind @ $12/pair. Ouch. Now I can't wear anything else.

    In my early 20s I remember going to Supercuts or First Choice and paying around $7 or $8.  The fact is that they will sometimes absolutely DESTROY your hair and I'm just not willing to take that chance anymore.

    I started going to salons 5 or 6 years ago and have been paying in the $17-30 range.  When you consider that the First Choice/Supercut haircut is now getting close to $20 thanks to the good people *cough* Greenspan *cough* Bernanke *cough* at your friendly neighbourhood Central Bank, $20 isn't a lot to pay for a men's haircut anymore.

    I really hope James is able to keep his prices low because he gives a really great haircut - and I'm a cheap SOB.

    The 11 year old salon is really massive for only one stylist and I honestly don't know how he makes any money.  His "assistant" is Cleo, a loveable 7 year old afghan houng, is very friendly and enjoys a good back scratch.  

    Very friendly, welcoming environment and I'm looking forward to going back.  5 star haircut & 5 star colour job -- a perfect match to my thining and slightly graying situation.

    Takes credit cards but not debit.  You can walk-in however an appointment is recommended.

    Good haircuts for $20 (men) or $30-$35 (women). Very affordable. James is a super friendly owner and hair stylist. This salon is small and James's schedule is often fully booked so be sure to call ahead for an appointment. Walk ins are welcome but you're at the whims of the schedule. Quality of other people's cuts: good! Quality of my haircut: good! Not amazing, but you don't get amazing for those prices.
    Recommended.

    Very friendly service priced fairly. $20 for a men's haircut and he goes the extra mile to make sure you are happy. He also has a very friendly dog that hangs around.
