Since moving to burnaby we've found that going into Vancouver (especially D/T) was bothersome…read more So we've slowly started to change over our services closer to home. After checking out the barbers in our vicinity and reading the great reviews for Elks Barber, we made a visit today for my partner to get his hair cut. Without disappointment, he received the hair out he requested and looking forward to returning. I am very faithful to the people that give me and others, great service. I've been going to the same nail technician for over 9 years (she just retired recently) and gotten my hair done by the same lady for almost 20 years.

Worst haircut I can ever remember having. This middle east guy (cue the triggered bigot snowflakes)…read moredid absolutely everything in opposition of what I wanted. I for the first time, brought my tablet and showed him a pic of my hair a bit shorter, like I've been getting for years, very simple cut. He STILL effed up my hair. He never said a word the whole time; no smile even after payment. Should have taken this rude-faced incompetent to small claims court. But I'm a very nice person, so I didn't. I think this guy has serious mental issues. Actually had some big fancy glass cabinet setup, with antique barber implements inside. That, I've never seen in any barbers before. Like some middle-aged, childish upstart opened up a shop with daddys money. And.......he can't cut hair. You want the worst haircut ever? Then THIS is the place for you.

First off my haircut was done ok and the owner was pleasant. Two things were annoying however. The…read morefirst was that she never asked me how I wanted my haircut/ how long etc. I ended up with a cut significantly shorter than I normally wear. The second was that when I went to pay I was informed that because ' your hair was so long' I had to pay an extra $5. I dispute that my hair was 'so long' - it had only been a couple of months between cuts- and if she was going to charge me extra that should have been stated prior to the cut.

Yesterday I was feeling shaggy! Really shaggy! Poofy too! So I decided I wanted a hair cut and…read moreknew that my go to place wasn't going to work for me today. I went online and remembered that I hadn't tried out Eclipps before. In years past it had always come across as pretentious to me, so it's never occured to me to go there but I changed my mind. I went online and checked out their services and cost and found me a $5 off coupon for new clients. When I called earlier in the day they had an available styist for that time. I am not sure who took the call but they weren't overly friendly on the phone at first but seemed to get nicer as the call went on, not that it went on for a long time. (This is why I only gave them 4 stars and not 5). When I got there I felt welcomed. As soon as I walked in someone greated me and since I was early, made sure that I didn't mind waiting, which of course I didn't. The salon has a nice set up. The product is easy to see and well set up. The waiting area is quaint with a little red leather, retro feel. I liked it. Then there is the Penelope. She is the gorgeous Boston Terrier that is one of the stylists. I got a greeting from her as well. So needless to say, the wait was fun. When my waiting was over, this cheery young lady came over and introduced herself as Christa and that she would be the one doing my hair. What I really liked is that she asked what I wanted AND she reiterated everything I said to make sure we were on the same page. As she was doing my haircut she would explain all the product she was using, including the shampoo and conditioner etc. She didn't put in a lot of product but what I liked was she explained what it was and what it did for my hair. When she was done I was the happiest girl on the block, or at least the hair salon, and felt a hell of a lot lighter after Christa took out the poof!! I will be back to see Christa! I had an easy time talking with her while she cut and styled my mop and she did a fantabulous job! PS the reason I wasn't offered a beverage was that I had my to go mug filled with London Fog from Starbucks down the street lol.

A mocha with my haircut? My goodness... Yes, please! These ladies are speaking my language here ;)…read more They had no problem fitting me in for a last minute appointment and upon arrival even offered me a latte or mocha. Pamela was my hairdresser for the afternoon and all I really needed was a quick touch up/clean up of my ends and a little extra for my bangs. She was quick, efficient, and pleasant and my hair felt instantly lighter and lovely when she was done! No nonsense, no pressure, just honest, clean, good work. Just what I like :) Thanks ladies!
