About Vivid Hair
Finding a stylist who understands what you are asking for takes a visit or two, and most people stay put once they have. Vivid Hair works from 2917 Pandosy Street, in the village stretch south of downtown, in a building shared with a couple of other businesses.
Come to a first appointment with reference pictures and an honest account of your own routine, because the real limit on any cut is how much effort it takes to reproduce on a Tuesday morning. Ask how the price is worked out before you sit down, since length, thickness and the amount of product involved move the number more than the name of the service does. Colour deserves its own planning. Anything involving lightening, a correction of previous colour, or a shift of several shades takes genuine chair time, sometimes across more than one visit, and knowing that in advance prevents an unhappy afternoon. If you are booking around a wedding or a trip, leave two weeks between the appointment and the event.
Pandosy has the low rise, walkable character of a lakeside village, with shops and apartments along the main run and access to the water a few minutes away on foot. That makes an appointment here easy to build a morning around instead of a trip in and out. Street parking is the usual arrangement on this stretch and it tightens through the summer, when the beaches draw visitors into the neighbourhood, so allow a few extra minutes in July and August if you are driving in from elsewhere in the city.
