I get bored with my hair – I really, really do! I had it chopped off in November and now I want to grow it – not because I don’t like it short – just bored – and I miss being able to put it up in a nice up do even though I hardly ever did that.
I’m also constantly changing my hair colour too – nothing TOO drastic I would say but nothing “boring” either. I jumped at the chance to check out a salon that I hadn’t heard of (shame on me!) Salon Escape in the heart of Yorkville.
The location of this place is fantastic – it’s located on Cumberland right across the Bay station subway entrance and surrounded by great shops and restaurants.
When I entered the salon it was PACKED! I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. As I was there I was eavesdropping and many of the clients are regulars chit chatting with their stylists like they were old friends.
My stylist was Maryia. She was great – I could tell she was talented from the start since during our consult she showed me where the parts of my hair were going crazy and exactly her thoughts on cleaning it up. My embarrassing roots lead her to give me two options – go for one overall colour that would be rich and shiny or we could go for something interesting – kind of an ombre effect (I should tell you that I’m not a fan of this trend – it always just looks like really out grown roots to me – I don’t get it!) but more blended – yet still looking obvious – not like my hair was growing out.
All you have to do is fill out the rafflecopter form below – good luck!

I love Maryia!
I do a bit of both.
I’d love my daughter to get a new style for school.
I’m always going for my signature look…but that’s just because I’m too nervous to try something new
I tend to stay with my signature look – long, sleek and straight.
I get bored easily as well. However, given my busy lifestyle, I can’t afford to drastically change it. That is why I have it long and straight. Short hair and colouring it is way too much work.
love it!
I am trying to grow it for the time in years.
I get bored most often
LOL Geri – too funny 😛
Good luck 🙂
Do you change your cut or colour or both?
Oooh metallic highlights! Never heard of that, sounds so cool!
I haven’t but I have always wanted to! I stare longingly inside every day hahahaha! It seems like a really nice place.
Yes, not a bad area at all to work in! 🙂
Awesome prize! In my next life I’m going to have thick hair and thin hips instead of the other way around.
Could really appreciate this prize!
I’ve changed my hair alot in recent years. It’s fun!
Also, pretend my comment below came from my non-private Twitter account: @LadyCuteKitty (whoops!)
Love the curls and the colour, Elaine! I hate to admit it but I’m pretty boring when it comes to my hair. I pretty much rock the same style all the time. I might get a bit crazy and add some metallic highlights to my hair around Christmas, but that’s about it 😉
No way, that’s awesome! Thanks so much 🙂 Have you ever popped down to the salon for a visit? You must have an awesome view by the way – I was enjoying the people watching while sitting in the waiting area 😛
I loooove your hair! Although I know you’d look fabulous with it short too but I say keep it long 🙂
Ack yes it DOES take work to maintain!
I know it’s really hard to decide isn’t it? A great stylist will be able to give you different options for your lifestyle 🙂
Thanks Joy! I really like it too!
Go for it!! 🙂
Oh awesome! She was fantastic, do you get your hair done there often?
Again – jealous you have a signature look! Good luck!
That’s so true Sandy, change IS fun! 🙂
Do you ever try to change it up?
Definitely find a good colourist if you’re thinking about doing it – I liked that the growing out period wouldn’t look so obvious 😉
Thanks Joanna! It’s so funny isn’t it – we’re only satisfied with new hair for a short period of time!
Glad you can relate 🙂
Thank you Tara!!!
LOL that’s exactly how I feel about my hair! Yours always looks great when I see it though – so luckily you look good in many different styles 🙂
Ahhh I would love to have a signature look – you’re the girl I envy 😉
Thanks! I’m sure your hair suits you! And I kind of wish I hadn’t started colouring it – it’s kind of an addiction and my natural colour is so dark now I just can’t get used to it!
LOL! I know the maintenance is SUCH a pain! that’s the good thing about curly hair – my roots don’t look as bad when they grow out 😛
haha thanks Michelle! I know – trust me the bigger picture was scaring me 😛
I know what you mean! Especially with curly hair – I have to make sure it looks decent curly b/c I’m too lazy to straighten it all the time!
Generally I wear it the same way too – in a few weeks I’ll be pulling it back in a clip!
I totally work an office that’s above this!
I guess I get pretty bored with my hair, too. I’m thinking about cutting it short again, but then I get ‘grass is always greener’ syndrome and yearn for my long hair again. Maybe I should just change up the products and get a good blowout! 🙂
I have the same hair style for 18+ years. Too busy to do much with it.

I have had my same hairstyle for too many years, and I am seriously getting bored of it. I just do not know what to change it too!!
She did a really great job on the colour!
I get bored very often with my hair…maybe its time for a new haircut.
Maryia is my fave stylists at the salon 🙂
I always go for my signature look, yet want to win this for my daughter.
I am always looking for a good hairdresser. Thx!
I get bored sometimes…change can be really fun!!
I get bored with my hair
I haven’t had my hair dyed in years but I’m so tempted to after seeing this ombre look!
They did a great job with your hair! Love the new shape. I’m always looking to do something new!
I want to change my hair all the time!
Your hair looks awesome, they did a fabulous job!
Elaine, I think I’m just as bad as you. I get SO bored with my hair. I dye it frequently, I style it differently, I cut it short than grow it out, then bob it. It’s so crazy. So I definitely get bored with my hair!
Thanks for letting us know about this place! (Also, your new hair looks great!)
I love the color. It looks great on you. I have never really done any major with my hair. I still have the same hair color since I was born. I put highlight in it once and that was about it. Same boring hair.
i have a length that works for me and often try to spruce it up with cuts. i can’t do crazy things with colour though because i’m lazy and i suck at maintaining! 😛 xox P
Glad you had a great experience there! Lovely color, but boo to the small picture!! :p I am looking forward to seeing a bigger one! 🙂
I get bored with my hair so easily, but I find it hard to do something dramatic.
I get bored but I wear the it the same anyway.
I do get bored with my hair, but my hairstylist has carte blanche on it and I get a new look every 6 weeks, so all is good.
