I'm the type of person who almost never take the time to write reviews, but I am the type of person who gives credit where it's due. Rie cuts my hair for $30 (incl. tax) and I pay $10 tip (because I'm so happy with the end result). She does an amazing job every time. I don't even live in Toronto downtown but I make the trip specifically to see her. Cutting asian hair (especially mine, which has thick strands,but not as many strands) in a layered style has to be done by someone who actually understands how to make it look not choppy or frayed. I always tip Rie as generously as I can because her work deserves so much more, and I haven't found anyone better (trust me I've had my hair cut at other high end salons). The staff is always friendly and lovely. Rie always chats with me and makes me feel so special by asking me about my life and what my plans are!
