| - Coupe Bizzarre is definitely the place to go if you want something edgy and you are determined to get it if it looks bad or not (they will do it regardless). All of the stylists I have ever had know what they are doing, and are qualified - but you need to be clear and firm with what you want. They have a reputation for edginess and seem to be determined to keep it.
Yes, you get a bit of attitude here, but it doesn't bother me really. Neither does the music. I am not as "open" with my haircuts as I once was, but back when I was happy to "experiment" people were always asking me where I got my hair done.
Jodi is fantastic (if she is still there). Coupe was my go-to for years, but now that Rocky is gone I likely will not go back. He has opened his own shop http://www.yelp.ca/biz/modern-lovers-hair-shop-toronto in Kensington.
I have had only good experiences, but I am also not afraid to say "whoh what are you doing" or communicate what I want. Coupe is perfect for fun haircuts though, I have had enough experiences asking for something edgy at other salons and getting a slightly symmetrical bang and a one-length-blunt-edge cut. *no edge*
Basically, its ok. Its cheapish for downtown haircuts with experienced stylists. Its not Aveda, but its not House of Lords *shudder* either. No pampering, no free tea, no "above and beyond," no hair washing sometimes, barely welcoming smiles. But they will do edgy, and thats what they are for.
