| - Situated in the dilapidated Cavendish Mall, home to little else but hair dressers, a movie theater, pharmacy, grocery store and food court, is St-Laurent Coiffure.
I followed Alex here years ago after she moved to this location from a competing hairdresser. She is my savior and the only person I trust my hair with. She is certainly eccentric and will not apologize for having a foul mouth, which is fine by me cause she does an excellent job. Sure, there's always a wait, as being on time often takes a backseat to a good gossip session or titillating story, but that's the price of beauty.
The place is clean, the staff are usually great and the prices are moderate. You can't ask for much more, especially in this neighborhood!
I also go upstairs to visit Rafi for a wax every few weeks. She is a phenomenal individual and esthetician. I won't pretend she's the most gentle, but she does an excellent job at giving the client what they ask for... I also appreciate that she doesn't hard-sell extra services. Her prices are fairly moderate and she has excellent bed-side manner.
Heads up, the front-desk lady/secretary isn't always the friendliest, but I think after a dozen years or so, I've finally gotten on her good side. Just be quick and to the point and you might actually squeeze a smile out of her on your way out.
