This list of tried-and-true Vancouver salons will ensure that your blowout or updo are on point this holiday season.
Bangtown Hair Salon

East Vanity Parlour

Barbarella Hair Salon
3277 Main St, Vancouver, BC V5V 3M6A Vancouver staple for 15 years running, this salon doesn’t take its name in vain, and it offers blowouts worthy of Jane Fonda’s trip on the Orgasmatron.

Moods Hair Salon
