Whether it's a regular blowout to start the week feeling polished, or an elegant updo for a wedding, gala, or special event — Paul B Hair in Kitsilano delivers styling with the same level of care and attention that defines every service in the studio.
Paul's signature blowout experience has become one of the most talked-about services at his Kitsilano studio. It's not just a blow-dry — it begins with a luxury shampoo and Paul's legendary deep scalp massage, followed by a customized conditioning treatment, and finished with a precise, smooth blowout that holds for days. Many clients describe it as one of the most relaxing experiences they've had in a salon.

Add a blowout to any other service — colour, cut, or treatment — to leave the salon looking completely finished. Priced as part of your full appointment.
Paul has styled hair for weddings, galas, black-tie events, and formal occasions throughout Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. His updos are built on classical French technique — structured, elegant, and able to survive a full evening of dancing and weather without losing their shape.
For bridal bookings, Paul strongly recommends a trial session 2–4 weeks before the event. This lets you refine the look, test how it holds in your venue's conditions, and walk into your wedding day with complete confidence. Bridal party pricing is available on request.
Paul's studio is at 3160 MacDonald St, Kitsilano — open Tuesday to Saturday with free parking from the back lane. For on-site mobile styling, see the Mobile & On-Site service.

Book a blowout or event updo with Kitsilano's trusted stylist.
Vancouver's event calendar is full year-round — weddings on the North Shore and in the Fraser Valley, galas at the Convention Centre and Hotel Vancouver, corporate events in Yaletown, and the constant stream of special occasions that make a city feel alive. For all of them, hair matters. For clients on Vancouver's West Side, Paul B Hair in Kitsilano has become a trusted name for event styling that holds up, looks polished, and photographs beautifully.
A professional blowout is not a blow-dry. The difference is in the technique, the products, and the preparation — and it shows in how long the result lasts. A proper blowout at Paul B Hair begins with a luxury shampoo and Paul's signature deep scalp massage, followed by a customized conditioning treatment. Paul uses a combination of sectioning, tension, and heat control that most people can't replicate at home — not because of the tools, but because of the technique. The result is hair that is smoother, shinier, and more voluminous, holding for 3–5 days with proper care. For Vancouver's climate specifically, a lightweight finishing product seals the cuticle and adds humidity resistance without heaviness.
Wedding hair in Vancouver runs the full range — from relaxed, effortless styles that suit outdoor ceremonies in Pacific Spirit Park or at a winery in the Fraser Valley, to architectural updos for ballroom events at the Four Seasons or Rosewood Hotel Georgia. Paul has styled hair for all of these occasions. The trial session is essential for any bridal booking — scheduled 2–4 weeks before the wedding date. It finalizes the look, tests how the style holds for a full day, and ensures the wedding morning is about execution rather than discovery.
Paul accommodates bridal party bookings at his Kitsilano studio, with scheduling arranged to get the full party styled in sequence. For larger parties or clients who prefer on-site styling — at a venue, hotel, or private residence — Paul also offers mobile styling across Vancouver. Rates vary by location, party size, and services required. Friday and Saturday summer slots fill earliest — reach out via phone, text, or WhatsApp as soon as your date is set.
Most of Vancouver's highly-rated event stylists are concentrated in Yaletown and Downtown. For clients on the West Side — in Kitsilano, Point Grey, Dunbar, Kerrisdale, or Shaughnessy — Paul B Hair offers the same level of skill and artistry without the commute. His studio at 3160 MacDonald St has free parking from the back lane. Clients planning a full occasion look can combine event styling with a precision haircut or a colour refresh in the weeks before the event.
