I go to Air Hair Salon @ Metrotown and my hair stylist is Kei (japanese hair stylist)..
He charged $47 for girl hair cut and $43 for guy hair cut but I think it totally worth it (that also mean he is a perfectionist that take him long to cut your hair.. haha)

so be prepared, a 4:30 appointment might mean 5:30 because chance is he is still finishing off the previous customer... which is not a big deal to me...

    Yes, Hive hair spa is Japanese salon.

Yes Japan stylist.
You need simple good english to communicate with them but I've no problem doing that.

so far, only 1 friend didn't like it there. I think she didn't communicate well with the stylist and got bangs. But she didn't like bangs. (wonder why she didn't tell them righ away)

For me, I prefer English or Japanese stylists because I don't even know the Chinese terms of hair cut.
My bitter experience when I was a teenager was at a Chinese stylist... and he mis-heard that I wanted it SHORTER.
And I meant "not so short" but being a stupid teenager... I kept quiet until it's done and just cried after.
LOL

Nope, surprisingly his English is better than the previous jap stylists I had in the past.

I used to only use Taiwanese Hair stylists due to communication problem but his English is good enough to communicated with me. (high school English? )

So far I like the way he cut my bangs, all hair stylists promised me no line on my head but ended up there is a visible line...

But when he cut my bangs, it's not straight line bangs and I dun see line (I emphazied that to him...)

If you want  Chinese hair stylist @ Air Salon, there is a TW hair stylist called "ah ka", he is fine too

But I like Kei better...

That's great. Sho's English is adequate. Just not so much for chatting if you like that during a cut.
