I recently moved to Markham but haven't found a decent hair salon so I decided try this place out based on the Yelp reviews.
I went in with a photo of the type of cut I wanted and the stylist (Jenny?) went to work.
They do a really good and thorough job in shampooing your hair. They will wash it twice and condition it while giving you a head massage. It's small but a nice touch. They will also rinse your hair after the cut, which not all salons do but is a nice touch.
I'm used to my previous stylist giving me a lot of texture on the top to the point where my scalp would show when it's gelled. This made styling it really easy as my fingers could flow through my hair very easily. Jenny textured my hair but left it more on the thicker looking side, which I don't mind actually. She uses a texturing technique that I've never seen before, which got the job done but it did take long; my entire haircut took around 40 minutes, which is really long for a men's cut. I would still prefer a razor for texturing however.
I do remember passing by this place once and was not a fan of the prices they posted on their window. It ranges from $25-50 for a mens cut depending on the level of the stylist. This was misleading though as the price of my cut came to $36 with a "cash discount", which I find reasonable given the nice job.
I think I will continue my search for my permanent stylist but I think I will come back here once and awhile. Because even though the cut took a long time, I was entertained by their office gossip chatter and Jenny and the other employees there are nice to look at.
