I've had issues finding a decent stylist and salon in Toronto and thank goodness I finally find the answer with Brionie at Parlour!
I had a disaster with Kat at Glam and an alright experience with Stacy at Grateful Head, but was never really getting what I was looking for. But Brionie nailed it and the price was right - cheapest salon cut I've had in Toronto (I believe the standard is $57ish for the cut, dry and style before tip). Parlour was also really relaxed and laid back which I liked. I will definitely be a repeat customer.
I have naturally really think and wavy hair which can be a challenge for a lot of stylists, but Brionie nailed it and I can straighten it easily or just wash and go and leave it wavy. My hair is fairly short (chin length) and she is the first stylist in Toronto who finally managed to give me some shape and decent style to the cut. It will be really easy to maintain and grow. And she also did a killer job on the bangs - they're really versatile I can wear them straight across or angle them, and when you have short hair it's a bonus to have versatility in your bangs. Most importantly she gave my hair some personality without going crazy and giving me something waaay too edgy and bizarre.
So I definitely recommend Brionie and Parlour.
