| - Moving cities is never fun (except for those rare occasions when you get to move from Texas to Ontario. anyway.), and can be oh, so stressful. For women, moving can be even more traumatic because of one thing: having to find a new hairstylist.
Before moving to Toronto, I'd gone to the same salon for 12 years. Twelve years! I first tried to hold out from getting my hair done until I knew I'd be going back to Texas, but those trips became fewer and far between, while my hair became more and more unruly. :-) Fashion magazine did a summary of the best hair salons in Canada; I saw Taz, and even had someone recommend them, but felt they were too expensive, so I tried another salon. I went twice and both times came out far too blonde with hair that was far too short (think razed neck - um, no thank you). I finally decided to go to Taz. Seek and ye shall find. Not to mention, how can the Ontario Stylist of the Year be a bad place to be?
I have nothing but praise for the staff at Taz. Yes, it's in Yorkville and absolutely has the potential to employ only snooty staff members. This, thankfully, is not the case at Taz. Everyone is friendly, helpful and very much into hair (as they should). I'm blonde and get highlights with Norm (who runs his own charity on the side and basically RAWKS!) and get cuts with Daniel (um, HAWT). The people who shampoo must surely moonlight as masseuses, because I've fallen asleep not once, but twice, in the chair while being shampooed.
Yes, the prices are a little steep, but if you want to look like you just bought a box of Clairol at Shoppers, then all I can say is that you get what you pay for.
Bottom line: Taz makes the cut. ;-)
