Uh oh! Looks Parlour {1} has some competition.
My hair was needing some TLC and my bangs desperately needed a trim. in true asshole fashion, I wanted for the last minute to book and appointment at Parlour and sadly I couldn't get in. I spent the next hour aimlessly calling places to see if anyone had anything available and of course no one did.
I decided to do exactly what I did to find Parlour, I got on a bus and fired up Yelp to see what I could find. First place on that list was Lush & Lavish Salon Spa and they had an opening.
I was offered a tea, didn't have to wait at all to be seen and my stylist Sarah was sweet. We both reminisced about our East Coast connection, tattoos and how much we loved Toronto. I told her about my struggle to find good anti-frizz product that had no silicone and she suggested Kevin Murphy Easy Rider (and even gave me a sample).
The price for my cut was a bit more than I pay with Parlour but I was told that in between band trims are complimentary. I still love Parlour but it's good to know I have a backup plan nearby for next time :-)
