Low-key charm
Tucked away in an older character building on 109th Street, this cozy, two-chair salon offers affordable haircuts, colours and down-to-Earth hairstyle advice. Located in a bustling section of 109th street, you’ll need to keep your eyes peeled for the “Mane Tamers”’ lettering in the front window to spot the place. Once inside, prepare to sit back and relax in the peaceful, homey and cheerful ambiance.

Sensible advice at a reasonable price
Here you can count on sensible advice without high pressured sales techniques. The end goal is flattering styles at a price that fits your budget, making it easy to keep coming back for more. This is a popular spot with locals since opening in 2003, so you will need to phone at least a week ahead to book an appointment, and three weeks ahead for evening spots. No walk-ins are allowed, but same day appointments may be possible.

Taking it back home
To help recreate the same style at home, you can choose from among the Matrix, Biolage and other products lines showcased above the till. Each product for sale has been hand-picked and tested so you can trust their suggestions.
