I've been going here exclusively for about 4-5 years now and I've spent the last 2 years studying in another country. My stylist's name is Sam. She is AWESOME. I've never had a complaint with her. I usually go in with a picture of what I want and Sam is always able to reproduce it or improve upon it. She's great at letting me know what's best for my hair  and is always willing to show me how to style my hair.

The rest of the staff is really nice too! The prices aren't bad. I started going there when San was still apprenticing and she was offering free services. Now I pay about $55+tax and tip and no complaints. She's that good. I've recommended her to family and friends and they have no complaints either!

Let me be the first to tell you how great this place is.  I've been to top hair design studios from San Francisco to Los Angeles, to Hong Kong and Japan, and I'm pretty sure that this place ranks on the top of my list. Personally, I don't live in Vancouver.  But everytime I come back to this city I make it a priority to get a haircut there.  The reason? Mona Leung - the artistic director.  Whether you're looking for a conservative, clean cut, or a total make-over, Mona never cease to disappoint.  Everytime I walk out after getting a cut from Mona I'm a happier person.  The cut she gave me is second-to-none in terms of creativity or fitting the description.  How many times you've walked into a salon and tell your stylist that you wanted one cut but ended up getting something else?  Well, if you let Mona do her job, you won't be disappointed.

Plus, the overall hip decoration and the friendly attitude of the staffs are just icing on the cake.

I'm still in search for a regular salon since I've moved here... this is the 4th place I've been to since moving out and oveall I was pretty happy!  Came here for the first time last week... it looked cute when I had walked by previously and it's next to DB (the new Lumiere/Feenies since Feenie left).

Great location with plenty of free street parking (always a bonus!)  Service was friendly and the salon is clean with a nice selection of products.  I use some Bumble and Bumble and they carry this line, along with some others like Rene Furterer.  They seem to mostly use B&B during your visit.

I had a pretty young stylist, Loretta, who did a nice job on my modified "Pob" (yes, I still love this cut :)

Cons were that she was a bit slow, but otherwise I was happy.  Nice green tea here.  The heated toilet seats in the bathroom were unique!  LOL... nice way to warm up on one of the few snowy days in Vancouver :)
