So here I go with my first Review!! My fingers have been twitching to type from a long time. I start with Maya @ K-town.
I am blessed with a thin mane and there is nothing to brag about it!!It's a task where you need to find a right stylist all the time. A 'Know-it-all' hair dresser can leave you with a 'Perfect Bald' look (sic). I have faced that in past.
As I found that there were 101 reviews on yelp alone giving this place a 4 star. It was must to visit this place.
The place is pretty easy to find as it's close to Christie station. I walked past as I couldn't find the Maya name board and later came back reading the number 635.
I was welcomed with an 'Oasis Apple Juice' which is a good gesture. You will find customers wowed in all reviews post drinking the nectar. On cleanliness the place scores 4 out of 5. It was clean and the lady at the reception was herself busy cleaning when I arrived at 10 a.m. I found the Maya team professional and warm. I will not call the ambience a 'Wow' but when you pay 30$ for a women hair cut in TO. It's O.K, if you don't choose a salon for its ambience.
My hairdresser (she didn't tell me her name) was looking a little confused to me. Believe me I was very nervous as I went for a haircut after an year as I was getting over my perfect look I mentioned above. She showed me a book of Korean girls with fancy hairstyle and asked me what I want. I could feel that she was new. Luckily I did my research before coming and got the pics of Hollywood celebrities with thin hair.
She started and I went mum. She asked me before chopping every piece of hair and checked how I wanted. Now this was something I really liked as she wasn't pushing her opinion down on me. As she progressed I gain confidence and I must say she did exactly what I wanted.
So I will give this place a 4.5 star not for value for money; but for getting what I wanted.
