I love a stylist who isn't afraid to tell me I'm wrong, who can use their hair-cutting powers to not-so-subtly influence me to do what they think I should do rather than what I, in my style ignorance, think I should do. I recently had a cut with Anastasia and she did exactly that - and the cut is fantastic. Exactly what I needed (not what I thought I wanted).
Prices are pretty similar to what I'm used to paying elsewhere in Toronto. Booking was incredibly easy - the person I spoke to was both friendly AND helpful. I'm a last minute kind of gal, and often find that this is at odds with my hair whims, since so many places book up in advance. Not so at Fuss. I called on Wednesday and they fit me in on Thursday. Fantastic.
The salon itself won my heart immediately with it's funky black and white tile entrance, chandeliers (I'm a sucker), textured wall paper, and lovely wood floors. They had just opened their upper floor when I was there, which appears to have doubled their space. Anastasia set me up with coffee and made sure I was able to sip on it whilst cutting my hair.
Thrilled to find a great salon in my new hood. I will definitely be back - and next time I might even make the colour leap that Anastasia suggested.
