Trim Hair Salon

I visited Trim for the first time today, and I was very impressed with the service. Over the past 15 years or so, I’ve frequented a few reputable hair salons in Vancouver and this one is up there.
Emilie cut and streaked my hair. I showed her a picture & she looked at my current «do», which ended up in a great color & cut. She modified my hairstyle slightly, explaining what she thought would look good and checking if I agreed with the changes before making them. In the end, I was completely satisfied with my hair. I highly recommend Emilie if you’re looking for a hair stylist.
I also liked the environment of the salon. It’s well lit and has modern, funky décor. Plus, you get a water, tea or coffee while waiting on a comfy white leather chair situated in a room stacked with magazines.
I will definitely return regularly for a cut and color. I recommend this salon if you want quality care and hairstyling.

After a bad haircut 4+ years ago, i haven’t trusted ANYONE with my hair. Finally, noticing how dry and brittle my ends were and expressing to my partner how bad i needed a haircut she surprised me with an appointment at Trim with Jocelyn.
In the past I’ve ONLY gone to salons who specialize in ethnic hair and made the mistake of a «regular» salon 4+ years ago, so you can understand my nerves prior to arriving at Trim.
Jocelyn listened to me and assured me she knew what she was doing. After sitting in her chair i let my wall down and let Jocelyn do what she thought was good. Thankfully i did! She got rid of my dry, brittle dead ends. Her cut was amazing! She also blew it out straight then pressed and curled it!
She not only is an amazing stylist but also a super cool, down to earth person! If she could take on my hair, she can definitely take on yours!

Micheal chopped 9 inches off my hair last night turning me from a messy lazy, long, constantly in a ponytail curly haired girl into a sexy edgy bob. He did a great job with my pain-​in-​the but-​to-​cut curly hair and figured out how to fit my face shape really well. I totally love it. Maybe the best haircut I’ve ever gotten. It certainly made me wonder why I’ve been bothering with the long hair for the last few years. Thanks Michael for doing such a great job! I look forward to what kind of hair shenanigans we can come up with. See you in 4 weeks. Rockin’ Work.

Well this was my first time at Trim hair Salon and I can say with confidence that this will be my goto hair salon. Their staff is amazing and they go to great extents to make sure you leave smiling and with a great cut! I came in with a bushy wavy/​curly mess and came out with something I’d never thought I’d see. Svein was my stylist and I would 100% recommend him! He went into detail how and why he was cutting the hair a certain way and asked how I wanted my hair to look further down the road and gave tips as well! I’m just amazed how it turned out and I’ll be coming back for sure!

Totally amazing. If you are looking for the best look no further. If you have not experienced a session at Trim Hair Salon, you must check it out. You owe it to yourself.
I highly recommend them. I love the energy and the atmosphere there. 5 star all the way.

What can I say??? Wowwwww…
My mom swears by this place. She kept telling me about her amazing experience with Trim Hair Salon. I am glad I listened and went in. The staff are super friendly. What I liked is the staff are super friendly and accommodating. I am super happy with the cut I got.
Thanks Trim Hair Salon you now have a mom and a son being a huge fan of yours. They really know how to treat you well.

I googled salons about a year and a half ago after having my daughter cause I was in serious need of a fix after a really bad, short bob haircut. I found trim, read all the amazing reviews and decided to go with Michael after reading such nice things about him. He literally brought my hair back to life and made it easy/​bearable to style my hair. Sadly throughout the course of the next year and a half, had my hair bleached blonde, crappy cuts, dyed dark brown and permed… I decided to go back to Michael to see if he is the one for me and of course, he is. He brought life back to my perm, made it more manageable and the experience is just so pleasant and not forced. He’s really amazing and I will be going to him from now until forever. The salons really cute and clean too! Love love love this place, especially Michael :)

Awesome service! Svein did my short pixie haircut and it’s great! Knowledgeable and very flexible. Nice clean shop and they also offer tea or coffee before your service.

Svein was very kind and did my hair just the way I like it!
I usually only get one or two haircuts a year and he, one of the few hairdressers I ever had, did not give me a lecture about coming back and getting a trim every few months, which was refreshing.

Finally, after 44 years (okay, turning 45 in 1 week) of getting my hair cut and colored, I feel like I have found the right person and the right salon!
Bridgette was recommended to me by the salon and I have to say that I couldn’t be happier. Not only does she really seem to listen to what you have to say, she also really seems to know her stuff. She is confident, yet not pushy.
I am trying to grow out my grey hair and she really helped me color my hair so that I have the best of both worlds. And on top of all of that, she even sent me a text after I had my hair colored to ask if I could stay a bit later the next time I come in as she was thinking about my color and she wanted to do one more thing to it – just to make sure I was really happy… how great is that!!!
I also just had my hair cut by her and I have to say that I honestly think it’s the best hair cut I have ever had. I have also never seen anyone cut hair the way she does — she first cut it wet, then she started to dry it and cut it at the same time. She also kept feeling for where MY hair needed cutting. She seems very intuitive with the whole process.
So happy to have found Bridgette and everyone at Trim. Oh ya, that reminds me, the other staff also seem very nice and they even phoned me to let me know that they were running 15 minutes behind.

I thought it was time to update my post since my last one was in 2013!
Trim is still as amazing as always and Michael is still making my hair look amazing. If he stops cutting hair I may have to cry. My last hair cut was about two months ago and I am still receiving compliments on it.
In a city full of hair salons, this place is truly a gem.

I stopped by here because I had won an gift certificate prize for first place in a Unilocal Rock Paper Scissors tournament (that in itself was pretty epic. read all about it here:
). So I made a reservation and popped by on a Wednesday evening after work. I was a running late so I gave them a call, and they were totally okay with it.
Upon arrival, I checked in, had someone take my jacket, and had someone else get me a DELICIOUS cup of tea, and was quickly picked up within 5 minutes by the lovely Jocelyn.
I love me a good hair wash (complete with the massaging and the works), so Jocelyn took her time to work out the frustrations of a long work day. At the same time, she also gave me some pointers about how to handle my fine, thin, I-​never-​do-​any-​styling-​you-​want hair.
I also like having a good conversation with my haircut. I like talking to people, and there’s not much else you can do while sitting in a chair. So Jocelyn and I had a great chat about our lives in general and before I knew it, my cut was done! I was almost 5 inches of hair freer, and she had done some easy styling (because I’m a no fuss sorta person) that I could certainly duplicate myself.
At the end of the day, it was a really nice experience! I would certainly consider coming back here again, but I’d save it for an occasion because it’s hard for me to swallow a $ 70+ haircut. Either way, they make the money worth it! Thanks Trim!

I’m very pleased with this salon. I went to Trim on an impulse with a pretty dramatic change in mind. They were able to schedule me for same day appointment and Brigit did a fantastic job taking me from long, boring hair to a beautiful short bob. I will definitely be going back!

Okay, here’s another update! This would be my second update after my original post.
This review is based off my treatment experience with Sarah (salon owner), who contacted me after I wrote my original review and update.
I was a bit nervous to go in for my treatment service with Sarah. I wasn’t sure how she would be considering I wrote a terrible review originally. I’m happy to say that she was super super sweet! We got along and chatted throughout the session.
I know some people may be thinking, «of course she’s going to be nice since she’s trying to make up for my bad experience». But I have to say, Sarah is genuinely a great person who cares about her customers.
Aside from the great conversation, she provided certain service aspects I did not receive with Jocelyn:
1. Warm welcome
2. Talked about what I liked or didn’t like about my hair
3. Explained the (treatment) service she was going to do.
4. After the service, she showed me the products she used and recommended products for up-​keeping my hair.
Also to mention: the treatment session was complimentary and she took her time. Did not rush at all.
In the end, I would go back and have my hair cut/​coloured with Sarah if I could, but unfortunately she doesn’t do the services anymore. However she recommended another stylist (Amy) that might go with my personality. I may go back for a service with her. I haven’t decided yet.
If you had a bad experience and Sarah is trying to contact you, definitely take her up on it. I can almost guarantee your perspective will change. :)

Wish I had checked out this Main St salon sooner. The ambiance and style were fantastic, the stylist Kat really listened and did exactly what I was hoping for and the price was more than reasonable for an upscale salon. I also appreciated that Kat didn’t overproduct my hair — at other salons I often want to wash out the overload of product — but Kat did just enough to hold the style and she respected that I prefer a more natural look. Loved everything from the music, to the plants and lighting. Front desk staff was very attentive and friendly too. I’ll be back for sure.

Today as I write this, I clicked on 3 stars, because the owner of the salon contacted me about my last review and wanted my concerns resloved. This pertains to the review I wrote on Aug 29, 2014. Wish there was something else to click on instead of stars, when a issue arises, and either gets resolved or not between the businesses and customers.
Sarah, the owner of the salon, contacted me regarding my review. We spoke for quite sometime, over the matters of concern with the receptionist and stylist Jocelyn.
I won’t detail the entire conversation, would take too long…
Sarah said she would give full refund, or have my daughter come in and have her hair color fixed by another stylist. I discussed this with my daughter. She said NO, for now she is going to grow out the layers (which Jocelyn cut, and no layers were to be cut in the first place), and to let her hair grow back to at least shoulder length. Then she will decide at that time.
Sarah apologized for what happened, and said that she was glad to get feedback from clients, whether good or bad. Having good feedback is always great. Having negative feedback is something that needs to be addressed with the staff involved in the matter, as well as the rest of her team. Sarah said she would have a meeting with her entire team, from greeting, hair, and completion of the sale.
Good news is Denise is still there!
When I get my hair cut next time, I will write my review.

I decided to make an appointment to get my hair trimmed a while ago after seeing good reviews for this salon so I emailed and a date was arranged as per the owner.
When I had come in that day, there was a mistake in my booking and although I had emails to prove that the date was confirmed (from the owner) there was no way to fit me in as the computer already had committed appts so needless to say, I was super disappointed!!! I really hoped that the owner would take matter into her own hands (as any good business owner would) and issue some sort of apology as I did take the time off to come here and had made plans around this appointment.
And as I hoped, she did. I really appreciated her for getting in touch with me by the end of the day to reschedule as soon as she could — and she even made the hair cut complimentary. She arranged for me to be scheduled with Miko and at the end of it, I had a very flattering hair cut that I was super happy with — not to mention, Miko is super nice, and she listened to what I wanted and did what I asked.
So, I can’t wait for my next hair trim because I would love to have Miko cut my hair again!

I’m usually very loyal to my hair stylists, but I needed to have my hair cut on really short notice in preparation for an upcoming event and my usual stylist was on her day off. So, on recommendation from a friend opted for a cut with Emilie. Emilie was super friendly and very talented with those scissors! She did a great job of thinning out my thick hair (which hadn’t seen a cut in about 4 months), adding shape to my ‘do, and explaining the process to me as she went along. I also really appreciated that she wasn’t afraid to offer honest advice when I was unsure of what kind of cut would flatter me most. All of my experiences at Trim have been awesome thus far, and I’d definitely recommend Emilie — in addition to my awesome regular go-​to stylist, Jocelyn — to anyone looking for a fantastic cut.

My new favourite go-​to salon!
A cute trendy salon on Main street with complimentary water, tea, or coffee.
I had my haircut at Trim a week ago and I’m in love with the results.
Miko was my stylist and she did a good job. I wasn’t afraid of going shorter so we took off my long damaged hair (about 3.5 inches) and gave it some texture for volume. She really knows what she’s doing. The price was fair. I will definitely come back!

Before I decided to go to the Salon, I haven’t really thought about a particular color or what i wanted to do exactly with my hair. I only knew that I wasn’t happy with my initial color. However, when I got to Trim and met with my color stylist, she wanted to understand what I wanted so thanks to her I was able to share it with exactitude. Not only did she know what to do, but she considered the different consequence each method would entail.
I’ve included a link of a pic in this review because that’s what i wanted & that’s what i got. Although I do not look like her, but I almost feel like i’m her & I mean– who would not want to feel like mila kunis, haha.(I love mila) Thank you, so much Gen. Your patience with my hair was very appreciated.
