I went to the Vidal Sassoon salon last night and had a pretty good experience. It's much more posh than I thought it would be. There's a coat check and assistants to get you drinks and stuff...

My stylist was good, turns out she teaches at the school at the salon which made me feel much better about using her!

In terms of the cut, she gave me the professional opinion I wanted so desperately. She said that longer hair suited me best, but that I should go with my natural curls and enhance those. Normally I go for a straighter look, so this was different! She cut about 5-6 inches (!!) off, gave me more layers to add volume and movement, and reshaped the fringe at the front.

The best part I thought was that she took the time to show me a simple way to do my hair without too much effort.

I would recommend the Vidal Sassoon salon, if you've got the extra cash and can make it to Toronto! My cut cost me $85 tax, and I also purchased some chi-chi Kerastase product for $40 (ouch!) but I had a 15% off coupon so it wasn't quite as painful.
