"Nothing says more than the fact I have been a client for 25 years. I have lived all around the world and I will always come back to Paul. He's a master of his craft — but beyond that he cares about his clients and the relationships forged. If I am in town, he would be my first call."
"Paul B is simply the best. His calm, sensitive and professional approach has been a gift as we manage colour, hair health and future planning. Paul's experience of several decades shines through — it is easy to trust his guidance and work. What a relief to have found him!"
"I first went to see Paul because my hair was so unhealthy. That was three years ago and not only has he helped the health of my hair — he takes the time to share what I need to do in between cuts. Plus, people comment that they love the cuts I get from him. So grateful for his expertise and care."
"I have been having my hair done by Paul for over 22 years. I have travelled from the Sunshine Coast for 18 of them. May have to bring a car load of friends — everyone is amazed at how nice my hair looks when I return! Thank you for making me feel good for all these years, Paul."
"After twenty-plus years, I continue to appreciate Paul's thoughtful, personalized care with each visit. His professionalism is unmatched, and he always listens to personal preferences, ensuring every appointment is a collaborative experience. I would highly recommend his services to anyone seeking both skill and artistry in hairstyling and colouring."
"I arrived home from international travel with my hair badly damaged by a horrible colour experience. I went immediately to Paul — I know he is an expert at colour. In typical Paul elegance he researched what I needed and got me back to my hair colour. I'm forever grateful for his talent and kindness."
"Paul always provides a very kind and precise service. He listens to his clients and takes their wishes into consideration while discussing the pros and cons. His colours, cuts and styling are always a beautiful creation."
"I have been going to Paul for almost 30 years. I don't know what I would do without him. I get frequent compliments on my hair cut and colour."
"Superb experience as usual. Relaxing head massage and again a great cut that always receives compliments — for over 29 years! Thanks, Paul."
"I saw Paul this morning and, as always, he provided excellent service. He's thoughtful and an expert at personal service. He gave me a special product to help with my thinning, fragile hair. He's always looking for technological advances to help his clients. Masterful!"
"My first cut with Paul following a pre-cut consultation. Paul is a great listener and respected all my requests while adding his observations to help me achieve my best hair. Really appreciated his professionalism."
"Best hair stylist in the Lower Mainland!"
