Canada.com : Chill and trim

You gotta love them. Alain Larivee and Justin Voss have opened a totally chilled-out salon called CAJH in a loft in St. Henri. Possibly the cutest couple in town, they met while working at Au Premier and set out to create a space without the usual noise, crowds and chaos of a hairdressing salon. Larivee says he loves to work with curly hair: "I think sexy hair is curly hair. You know the type of client who walks into a salon and everybody runs away?"
That's his gal, he says.
The idea was to allow the cutters to spend more time with clients. Cappuccino and head massage is fine and dandy, he says, but the emphasis should be on the hair. Cuts are $35 to $70; colour $48 and up.
