| dumpstermesh User Info... | It's that time of year again... I need to lose some split ends and re-new my do. I usually end up going to a different place everytime but I was wondering if any of the gals out there have some feedback I could use before venturing out with my credit card. I want to find a good pro that understands how my hair operates. Then maybe I'll stick with one hairdresser. - Wed, 27 Apr 2005 12:48pm | ||

| Gabri~hell User Info... | I have a friend that used to live here did the most amazing things to my hair, but then she moved up island, so now I have to commute for hairplay. I second the vote for Hipe/Hive! - Wed, 27 Apr 2005 6:57pm | ||
| Erika User Info... | BEST HAIRDRESSER EVER! Bernie, at 'Wiink' on johnson, right across fron the entrance to market square. She can do anything, it's an Aveda Salon, and she has cool hair herself, so you know shes got good taste.... and a bonus, she wont put any 'i know better than you' twist on it like many hairdressers, she follows your directions, but on that note, a rad sense of creativity and can do amazing things with short hair. Scalp massages are a must. Cuts $48 + tax or so. Good prices on color for an aveda salon. - Wed, 27 Apr 2005 7:20pm | ||

| princess p User Info... | I go to Rapunzle on Fort st. A gril named kristi used to work there she was the best I have ever had. But alas she got knocked up. But I still go anyway right now I'm with spencer but everyone in there is good nice people easy to talk to. - Thu, 28 Apr 2005 12:23pm | ||
| Inhalien User Info... | Nicole and Co on Johnson St (Nicole) or ACT II on Shelbourne (Kelly or Brandy). All 3 are hot looking and pleasant. Places to avoid - Tragic Cuts, any location - Thu, 28 Apr 2005 12:32pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Best haircut has to be the Magic Cuts place on Quadra street (close to Hillside). It's dirt cheap and I always get the best haircus there. - Thu, 28 Apr 2005 3:14pm | ||
| Christine User Info... | definatley not Arq! I went in there for a trim and came out with a "couture mullet". couture my ass! a mullets a fucking, mullet they just call it couture when they fuck up your hair! But Margo at Eclectic down dragon ally is the best she's been in the business for awhile now and she knows whats goin on but shes still hip and she actually listens to what you want done! Everyone I know goes to her. - Thu, 28 Apr 2005 9:47pm | ||
| Shaggy User Info... | Jason Ward at that little hair/tatoo shop down on Johnson st. He hasn't cut my hair for a while now, but when I had the super long rocker hair he did a damn good job on clearing out 3yrs worth of split ends..hehe - Thu, 28 Apr 2005 10:58pm | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | Wow!! Thanks everyone for your feedback... Bryn - Great suggestion!! You've always been a smartie pants:) Ok everyone send in some pics!! I've seen Princess P's new do and I gotta say...nice one!! That's what I'm looking for, someone who can look at my current mess and say "Oh no you've got it all wrong your hair/face needs THIS" I've been kinda leaning towards the Hipe, but now I'm thinking that there is more research to do. For some reason every cheap place I've gone to decides that my hair should be feathered. *shudders* I've got long ass hair but I want some good layers/style and MAYBE some highlights. Maybe. I'm all about the natural shit so an Aveda salon seems the way to go too. Is Hipe not an aveda salon? Bangs or no bangs... I can never decide. - Thu, 28 Apr 2005 11:30pm | ||
| Nat User Info... | I've got really long hair too and the only advice i can give you is don't let any chick with hair shorter then her shoulders take scissors to yours. Speaking from experience here. And don't let your boyfriend dye your hair. I know, who the hell would do that? I have cherry red streaks in odd places right now.It was a REALLY bad idea haha - Fri, 29 Apr 2005 8:43am | ||

| ammut User Info... | ...never, ever, whatever you do, ever go to chatters salon, I had shoulder length hair and wanted it cut a bit shorter in the back so it would fall forward and i wanted bangs, I ended up getting all my hair hacked up in the back to about 2 inches, then she cut the front all uneven and didn't give me bangs....and after all that she had the nerve to tell me that it was what all the girls were doing now, I seriously have never come closer to slashing somebodys throat before that moment....she basically gave me the same haircut as adam sandler in little nicky! It took about a year and a wicked cut from dave at fish to fix it! The moral of the story: go to dave at fish!!!! - Fri, 29 Apr 2005 11:13am | ||
| Little Red User Info... | I swear I have been the queen of bad haircuts... I've been to so many salons that can't even cut the hair the same length on either side... I won't mention names as I think they already have been mentioned. I ended up going to see Dave at Bella Moda in Hillside- he's an old friend, and not only did he do a great job, we had a lot of fun while he was cutting. Just my 2 cents - Fri, 29 Apr 2005 1:22pm | ||
| Joie User Info... | maybe yur head is lopsided. they have little to work with to make you look even on both sides. to give an illusion of left/right evenness takes a true sculpt hairdresser. - Fri, 29 Apr 2005 4:00pm | ||
| Erika User Info... | if you've been to alot of places, and had alot of shitty haircuts, id be willing to bet my life, you've been going to cheap places. haircuts are like any other skilled trade, you get what you pay for!!! go to a shitty place, and you're going to get someone who eithor has no ambition in thier career, and is satisfied working a supercuts clone, or simply someone who didn't spend too much on their training, and therefor has no real desire to make that money back. if you go to an aveda salon, at least some members of the staff are going to have trained at the Paul Da Costa Institute, which cost about eleven grand when everything is said and done. not some 'on the side, how-to' thing. and yes, natural yet chic is defenitly an Aveda concept. I stand by my reccomendation of Bernie Blades at Wiink, which is an Aveda Salon. (on johnson Across from market square. OH! if you're going for color, expecially subtle natural tones, Aveda is the way to go, seeing as aveda dye's are plant derrivatives, not ammonia based peroxide bleaches. less harsh on your hair, and tend to come out looking a little more natural, so theyre less intense looking when your roots start to come out. the end! - Fri, 29 Apr 2005 6:49pm | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | Oh trust me Nat, if I let my bf do anything to my hair I'd probably end up with a multicolored tri-hawk or a mullet. I bleach and shave his "do" and then I use his conditioner that comes with the bleach!! Ya I figure I'm going to do this in the next few weeks so maybe I'll do a before and after pic to post and ya'll can be the judges:) - Sat, 30 Apr 2005 8:04pm | ||
| Little Red User Info... | "if you've been to alot of places, and had alot of shitty haircuts, id be willing to bet my life, you've been going to cheap places. haircuts are like any other skilled trade, you get what you pay for!!!" Well actually I spent $35-$40 at one place for a trim and came out with a completely new style... worst thing was that the dude had the chair turned away from the mirror so I didn't know what it looked like until it was done. and the whole time he was talking about how awesome his band is and how they're gonna be bigger than the rolling stones... blah! I paid $50 at another place believing your story of you get what you pay for and the person didn't even listen to what I wanted they just cut it and was like "oh well this is the new style" which was totally different from what I wanted- NOT COOL! Sure I get my haircut like once a year, but if I go to a real salon, I expect a real haircut... I've actually found that I've had better luck getting a decent cut at the less expensive places (in fact hair schools are great b/c they want you to be happy so that they can get a good grade!) now I'm not a hairdresser and I certainly don't go to one very often, but if the hair obviously looks like 2 different lengths on either side, it's time to rethink your career. - Sat, 30 Apr 2005 8:37pm | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | I used to get the Aveda student cuts, but I was usually helping a friend out. I went to a "salon" in Canwest Mall a while back and the chick practically ripped out most of my hair just for a trim then charged me $45!! I can't beleive the guy had you not facing the mirror. That's a big ol' bad sign. - Sun, 1 May 2005 3:37am | ||
| Nat User Info... | The place in canwest butchered mine as well. - Sun, 1 May 2005 10:36am | ||

| Japanese Air Force User Info... | The Fix. Matty or Gerrard... hands down. I worked for Aveda and went to Fish for years and years. Good luck! Looking forward to pics. ~JAF - Mon, 2 May 2005 9:28am | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | Well due to the unfortunate circumstance of having to put one of our cats down I just didn't get into the whole before/after pics. But I did keep my appointmment with Bernie at Wiink. I'm very happy with my hair. She did an excellent job. It is just a trim but I've been disappointed by almost all my previous trims so this is great. She relaxed me with a scalp massage and didn't try to do anything I wasn't in to. I even bought some expensive conditioner. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions but I think I'm going to be happy with Bernie. Reason I chose her? It's an Aveda salon and she had the coolest name:) - Fri, 6 May 2005 2:21pm | ||
| SPENCER User Info... | Jen at hipe/hive word shes tight - Fri, 6 May 2005 3:10pm | ||
| e.rocka.sokka User Info... | YAYYY!! good for you!!!! you should tell her i sent you, maybe she'll give me a discount on my grad shit! i told her i posted somthing about her on here.. i am soo sly.. - Fri, 6 May 2005 5:27pm | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | I didn't think she knew about it already...sorry I didn't mention it. I'll definetly be going back to her though. Get her to look at the site (if she hasn't already). I was her noon appointment that didn't talk much b/c she was sad over previously mentioned cat. The haircut did take my mind off him a bit. To all those seeking new hair dressers at least check out this chick. She's good. *admires hair* - Fri, 6 May 2005 11:44pm | ||

| mica User Info... | jimmy's on fort street rules. they really know how to maximize the look of the hair on the sides of your head, so as to distract from the lack there-of on top. twelve bucks, i don't have to chit-chat, they have magazines with hot girls in underwear and bathing suits, an old school head massaging machine and a big bowl of suckers. - Tue, 10 May 2005 8:45am | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | ya mica I'll remember that if I come back as a MAN in the next life. - Tue, 10 May 2005 1:30pm | ||
| mica User Info... | yeah sorry - i guess you probably wouldn't dig it unless brush cuts become the trend for the young and hip women of the world. my wife won't go there either - i don't know where she goes, but i do know that the price tag generally sits between the $120-$140 mark. it always looks good, but i mean shit, five or six of those haircuts is the equivalent of half decent guitar! anyway, jimmy's doesn't have any expensive conditioners, save for the bottles of blue disinfectant that they soak their combs in. however, the top of my head (which suffers no folicular protection from the sun) seems to tan a very deep and rich shade of brown after having gone to jimmy's - even in a snow storm in the dead of winter . my theory is that they throw a small amout of olive oil into their water spray guns. those greek barbers think of everything. - Tue, 10 May 2005 1:43pm | ||
| ML7Mike User Info... | Sport Clips @ Tillicum x Carey by 7-11. long hair safe, good for a trim and/or buzz. Milf cuttin, straight razor to face and neck complete w/ warm cream ( yeaaah warm cream) and a free sucker with every cut :D - Tue, 10 May 2005 1:47pm | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | What's up with men's places getting free suckers? - Tue, 10 May 2005 1:59pm | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | hahahaha "my wife won't go there either" did you actually suggest that to her? - Tue, 10 May 2005 2:00pm | ||
| Mica User Info... | no, i find my wife quite attractive and i wouldn't want to do anything to screw that up even if it means her getting a haircut as opposed to me getting a new dvd player. - Tue, 10 May 2005 2:18pm | ||
| jodi User Info... | I recently got my hair cut and coloured by drake at hipe. it was pretty much the first time i was actually 100% satisfied walking out of a salon. that's all i can reccomend. - Sat, 14 May 2005 12:20am | ||
| Ceilidh User Info... | i suggest clayton, vanessa, or dave from fish. daves been my hairdresser for a couple years&i think he's the greatest. but maybe im also supposting fish because i work there? but they do awesome jobs, so i suggest someone from fish. - Sat, 21 May 2005 6:37pm | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | Sorry Mica I shouldn't have been so hard on ya earlier...I hear that Jimmy's is a great place to go for a mens cut. And I hear they give out suckers..and dirty mags...can't they do that at an Aveda salon too? *admires hair* - Sat, 21 May 2005 11:39pm | ||

| Pubert User Info... | is there anyone who could turn my frock into a green mohawk? whaka! - Mon, 30 May 2005 7:41pm | ||
| Anonymous User Info... | No, but I'm sure there's lots of people who'd love to scalp you, Pubert. - Mon, 30 May 2005 9:35pm | ||
| Pubert User Info... | hey, where'd all this animosity come from? i just want to know where i can get my bush trimmed down to a managable length so that it looks good. okay, so maybe getting a mohawk is going a lttle bit too far, but hey, i like to keep up with up and coming fashions....whaka whaka whaka - Wed, 1 Jun 2005 5:01pm | ||
| brad User Info... | hehe....i kinda like Pubert myself. Brings me back to the good 'ol days of live vic when threads were littered with shit from the likes of Rollerballz and the infamous ScronnyRonny , lighten the fuck up people!~ he's probably just some knobgobblin turkey kid who can't play guitar worth shit....but what the hell do i know? - Tue, 7 Jun 2005 10:01am | ||
| Rollerballs User Info... | Make no mistake, i have nothing to do whatsoever with this new Pubert character. I do like things that are so stupid they're funny, but puberts comments are just plain mundane. I wouldn't even go naked rollerblading with him if he got me drunk on peach cider and promised me a FJ afterwards. - Mon, 13 Jun 2005 10:41am | ||
