Review from Leslie F.
3/30/2012
When it homes to hair stylists, I have difficulty staying monogamous. I rarely visit the same person twice, mainly because I'm searching for the holy quartet of salon attributes:
- product (how good does my hair look at the end)
- pace (I'm not interested in spending 2 hours in the chair)
- proximity (if I can't walk there in 15 minutes, I will not go to there)
- price (I can't afford any $100 haircuts)
Well... I think I found it. I dropped in for a lunch-time cut yesterday. The Golden Clipper, or "GC" is in Scotia Square, minutes from my office. Jaime the stylist was friendly and fast. I showed her a picture and she basically gave me that exact cut/style in about 30 minutes. I've shown pictures to stylists before and come out with hair that didn't even loosely resemble what I asked for, so this was a major victory. To round out my checklist, it was also extremely affordable - prices range from $24.45-$50.90 for a cut/style depending on the seniority of the stylist.
After my positive experience, I think I may have to cease my cheatin' ways and return to the Golden Clipper for my next cut.Listed in: The Double S! (Scotia Square)

This is where my fiancé goes to get his hair did. After a few flubs at different barber shops, he decided to go the salon route and try this conveniently located salon. Since coming here, he's had nothing but good results- not too short, not harsh clipper cuts, just a flattering textured cut. Also, his stylist has suggested American Crew products to help keep his hair looking fly without the goopy mess from gel. And the price is quite decent-- $25, and that includes a head massage (lucky him!)
As for me, I haven't tried the salon. The services are limited here, it's simply a cut n' color kind of place, and I like to indulge a little more when it comes to salon trips. Plus, the products are Redken, brand which are a definite no-no for me because of an allergy.
For those who like to keep things simple and affordable (particularly the guys), this salon might be just the ticket. -

Finding a good stylist is difficult so I was happy when I found the Golden Clipper not far from my office. I've seen a number of stylists here.
I've rarely had difficulty getting an appointment scheduled and all the staff have been very friendly.

History
Established in 1967
Founded in 1967, the company began its journey as the Golden Clipper, an innovative concept in full service hair care for men during a time when men traditionally visited their local barber shop for a cut and shave. With 2 Golden Clipper locations still a part of the chain, in 1973 the company transitioned into full service salons serving both men and women - the Head Shoppe was born!
Since that time, the company has grown to a chain of over 20 salons including one of Halifax's premiere medi spas, Vitality Medi Spa and also includes the #1 training facility in Atlantic Canada, the Hair Design Centre. With over 250 associates throughout Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, the Head Shoppe is the largest single employer of beauty professionals in Atlantic Canada.
