Default Recommend me a hairdresser - Vancouver

I'm looking for a salon not a barbers - I'm not a short back and sides type guy.

Ideally best combination of price & quality. I'd prefer east Van, but downtown or west is no problem either.

Price - I used to pay around 30 quid, so looking at no more than 40 - 45 bucks, preferably less if possible.

Cheers.

Gi' Over lad! All my threads seem to go quickly off topic onto the mighty Owls, but bloody well need a haircut. So, all I will say is can't wait til Saturday and three points at Bellend Road!

I suspect the west end of Vancouver sounds like the most suitable place for you to frequent.

30 quid for a haricut, do you get a beer and a massage as well?

My bf went to the one on Denman. It looks like a traditional barber shop from the outside. I think he paid $17. He has very thick hair and it takes ages to cut it. I have to say, it was the best haircut he ever got. But I could write essays about UK hairdressers...
