Currently listening to: “White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane
Tired of the generic salon experience and rendered visually impaired by my too-long fringe, I decided to check out CAJH Maîtres Coiffeurs’ new location (743 Atwater, Montréal, (514) 932-6303.) I’m always a bit wary about trying a new stylist, but my worries were squashed by the rave reviews surrounding stylist, Alain Larivee and colourist, Justin Voss. As it turns out, CAJH is a Montréal salon whose reputation isn’t all hype. And their new location, like the coifs perfected by their expert hands, is cool, unique, and a breath of fresh air.
Alain and I discuss what I’d like in a hair cut. He suggests layers are the cure for my limp hair-woes, but assures me that he still wants to give me something with “a little personality.” In between deft snips of my locks and questions about my personal hair care routine, we discuss things we have in common (rescued dogs and small town upbringings) and I completely forget my haircut-anxiety; before I know it, my strawberry blonde nightmare has been transformed into a delicate dégradé of layers, which frames my face and that fits my styling habits. The best part: Larivee’s personalized approach to hair means that I might be able to replicate the truly fabulous result in my own home. Now that’s what I call getting the attention you deserve!
