| - To be honest, this really isn't a yelpable place. This dinky little Korean hair salon at the corner of the many plazas in the area is utterly unnoticeable and not meant for people who come here expecting normal western standard service.
When you walk in, you will notice a large number of women sitting around the waiting the room. The first seat is always occupied by the bossman, who looks mighty mean but is actually super nice. He cuts mostly hair for men, sometimes does stuff for women, and his main job is to ask customers what they need done, how much it would be if they ask, and direct the people in the seats when and where to go when a hairdresser is ready for them.
And no, all the hairdressers in there do not speak English very well. They can barely talk about your hair with you in fact. They know words like, "layers" "yes" "no" "highlight" and "colour". If you want anything specific and needs to be explained, then you're screwed. Best if you bring a picture.
Why this place is awesome?
first off it is CHEAP. $50 for color and haircut included...you cannot beat that.
Secondly, the hairdressers in there are AWESOME. They are friendly, great with your hair (trust them and you will get good results), and really meticulous with your colour, cut, and style.
But be prepared to wait. No appointment is needed (I don't even know if they take appointment). You can literally be waiting up to an hour or two on their busy days. Is it worth the wait? My five stars is saying yes.
I'm exposing here Toronto's best kept secret, I hope this will not make my wait time longer!
CASH ONLY, but there's an ATM in the store.
Parking in the back too.
