One of my friends went to Vince...and had his hair more or less ruined.

I go to Albert Snow's in Westdale. It's $40ish for a cut (which can be a little bit pricey), which is with the 10% student discount. They do a really good job, but again...if you cut your hair often it can be quite expensive in the long run.

I just went to albert snow too... It was $35 for a cut - pricey but at least had the discount. Also, they trim your bangs for free which is a HUGE bonus if you've got 'em.


PS I was VERY satisfied with my cut =)

If you are willing to go downtown, Joseph's is kind of pricey but very good.

I just went to Albert Snow and it was really good! The girl did a great job with my hair (I actually loved it the second she was done with it) and she was really nice!
They offer you coffee, tea or water! lol

i actually had a disappointing experience with them... the service was great.. but the cut was not so great.. however, they used this peppermint shampoo stuff on me.. and it felt AMAZING on the scalp!! totally... orgasmic!!

.... shampoos are always my favourite part of the haircutting experience. =p
