Wispy Hair Salon & Spa has been a Burnaby favourite for over 12 years, known for precision colouring and natural-looking cuts that actually grow out well. If you want a salon that treats hair like craft, not a conveyor belt, this is the place. Their signature wispy layers and lived-in balayage are what many clients from Metrotown and The Heights travel for.

They offer a full suite of services from quick trims to full transformations. Colour options include ammonia-free GlossLab colour and Olaplex-enhanced lightening for safer highlights. Cut services cover precision short cuts, long-layer shaping and textured fringe work. You can book a keratin smoothing treatment, a corrective colour session (consultation required), or a scalp rejuvenation service using Dermalogica products. Bridal and special-event styling is available for groups up to six in their 850-square-foot salon, which keeps a comfortable number of stations and private wash areas.

What sets Wispy apart is how they work. Stylists start with a 15-minute consultation, assessing hair history, porosity and lifestyle, then map a plan with clear pricing and a take-home care routine. Colourists hold advanced certification in balayage technique and Olaplex bonding repair, and assistants handle treatment prep so your appointment flows. Expect warm, conversational service, thorough aftercare instructions and slow, careful rinses that preserve tone. Appointments run on time because they respect your schedule.

Neighbourhood people choose Wispy because it feels local, not corporate. They support Burnaby arts nights and offer student discounts on Tuesdays, making great hair accessible. If you value thoughtful technique, honest advice and a relaxed salon vibe, Wispy is worth a visit. Call 604-763-7075 to book or ask about their next-client referral credit.
