| - I previously used to not care all that much about my hair, and would go to your local First Choice Haircutters because it didn't bother me much that an underpaid, under skilled, corporate in-and-out-let's-hire-someone-who-doesn't-really-know-what-hair-is sort of place.
But then a friend of mine recommended Everybody's Hair; her and her mother had been going to this place for years, and was friendly with one of the stylists. I went with her one day.
Everybody's Hair is situated right on the Danforth strip, minutes from the Woodbine subway station. The outside of the store front is nothing spectacular, but that's mainly due to the construction and not the salon itself. The window is usually decorated with something funky, colourful, seasonal, artistic. The lady who usually does my hair, Judy, is an artist in her spare time, and occasional her works will adorn the window.
The interior is friendly, bright, colourful. The stylists that are usually there when I go (every five or six months) have a great rapport, love talking back and forth, and when someone comes in for a cut, colour or whatever the case is, they're made to feel like they were originally part of the conversation.
I only go for a cut (sometimes wash), nothing fancy for me, and I always come out happy with the work that Judy does. None of the other stylists have done my hair, but my appointments are always with Judy, so I can't say anything good or bad. It's a little pricier than your average barber/salon (my regular cut is about $27), but you get what you pay for.
I heartily recommend this place. For other drivers, there is a lot right behind the building which is cheap (I believe it was $1/30 minutes), there's street parking on the Danforth right out front of the building. There's a Sobey's grocery store nearby which has free parking (which doesn't require a purchase), and it's a maybe five minute walk to the salon from that location.
