This place is the real deal! Did a balayage done by Rachel and it's perfect. She's the sweetest!…read moreShe really takes the time make sure she knows what you want and does her best to get you there. And the quality of her work is amazing! She also takes the time to explain what's going on in the process and kept me updated on what she was doing. Which I loved because I've been to other salons before and felt like I was just being passed around in an assembly line - no connection with the stylist at all. But at Haides, I felt totally comfortable from the moment I went in. Downstairs is the barbershop and you kind of have to go out and around to the salon. I wasn't sure so I walked into the barbershop first and someone escorted me up to the salon. The whole environment they create is very welcoming and chill. I can't express that enough. There's been so many times I've walked into a different salon and felt like either nobody is paying attention or you're "just another number." At Haides they really make you just feel so comfortable. Also love that they're right in Surrey. It'll be so nice to have somewhere to get my hair done that's so much closer as opposed to going all the way out to Vancouver somewhere. Location might be a bit tough to get to if you don't pay attention like me. But there's ample amount of parking. They don't take walk ins. Which I don't really know a place that does for color anyways. Especially for high quality work. So plan to book ahead! Prices are very fair. Honestly for the quality of work you're definitely getting more! Will definitely be back and literally have been telling everyone I know about this place. Thanks Haides and special thanks to Rachel! You're amazing !!!

I went to Angelica to get my first balayage done and it was a great experience! Out of all of the…read moresalons I have been this salon had a very friendly atmosphere. Angelica was very knowledgeable about the products she was using and she told me all about which products to use to take care of my hair. She was very sweet and nice, she would always tell me what she was doing to my hair during the process which I loved because sometimes stylists don't do that. Angelica was also a fun person to talk to, which was a plus for me because she did my hair for 8 hours long and I totally love her vibe! Overall, I highly recommend to get your hair done my Angelica she's literally an artist and I am very happy with how my hair turned out. She knew exactly what she was doing, and the results she gave me was immaculate! Angelica really met my expectations and provided me a fantastic service; she is highly skilled and very professional. I will be coming back again to get my hair done by her!

I always come before my appointment and left 10 - 20 minutes after my haircut done. I enjoy talking to Max (the owner) while I'm drinking my tea or coffee. This is a different barbershop for sure, a good one. Thanks Max for taking care of my haircuts more than 12 years.

I've had cuts from all of the main staff, Linda, Stephanie, and Max and have never been disappointed. Service here is excellent and everyone is extremely friendly. They always go the extra mile to make sure that customers are happy, from offering a drink when you come in, to the hot towel after your cut. I usually go for a standard mens cut and a beard trim, but Max is also great with the straightrazor. 100% worth the short walk from downtown, not to mention that Coal Harbor is beautiful is anyways.

However, I showed a couple reference pictures to Mariah and they immediately and breezily gave me an incredible cut beyond my expectations. Loved it! All the staff are great, too - all friendly and kind in the way where they acknowledge your presence as a person and not just as another random client. I've been to my fair share of salons where stylists just keep to themselves and their own clients, but the environment that Big Joy cultivated felt like the entire room was involved in the conversation. (Couldn't help acknowledging all the other good cuts that the stylists were doing on all the other clients too!) It's also super awesome that they do sliding scale here, and 1% of all sales go to one of three local charities that you can choose from. They also have PWYC Wednesdays on the last Wednesday of every month, first come first serve. Great salon with people who have a lot of heart, and care about their work and the community. Will definitely come back, especially if I'm looking for an edgy cut!

I did the thing you're not supposed to do- I went to a new hairdresser for a pretty drastic cut. I…read morejust moved to Vancouver from the San Francisco Bay Area, so I had to break up with my fabulous hairdresser of over 10 years, but I had no idea where to go. It doesn't help that my hair has multiple personalities (super wavy in the back, straight on the sides) and I am trying to grow out a serious undercut on both sides. I was warned that this scenario was a recipe for disaster, but fortunately Sarah Jane at Big Joy saved the day. She sat me down, looked briefly at the photo I brought in, and then we talked for a few minutes about a game plan. My chair was turned away from the mirror for the duration of the cut, so I had no clue what was going on up top, but I could tell she knew what she was doing. She really took care to level out the back and de-bulk my large quantity of hair. When she turned my chair around, I was pleasantly surprised at the super cute cut she gave me! When I came in, I thought I wanted longer sweepy bangs, but she did a slight variation on the photo I showed her that actually suited my face better. Of course, she offered to cut the bangs in, but I decided to leave it as is. I love it! Everyone I've come in contact with at this shop is super friendly and cool, especially Cooper. My boyfriend got a great basic cut from Darcy a couple of weeks ago, so he seems great too. The decor is retro and fun, and the space feels very welcoming and relaxing. You will be well taken care of if you book an appointment here.

I was super stoked on a job well done, I left feeling fresh. He's what you want from a barber. Smart, easy to chat with and knows what the hell he's doing. The other dudes I've met at Newport seem like great guys as well. If you're looking for a barbershop I definitely give Newport two thumbs way up and have no bones saying Ash is the man.
