About A La Mode Salon
Hair salon on McAllister Avenue in Port Coquitlam, offering cuts, color and styling with appointments by phone.
A good haircut is one of the few purchases you wear every day for weeks, which is why people tend to stay loyal to the salon that gets it right. A La Mode Salon takes clients at 2285 McAllister Avenue in Port Coquitlam, and it works by appointment, the way smaller salons do when the point is to give each person in the chair an unhurried block of time. Appointment-based rooms tend to run calmer than walk-in floors, and the stylist usually knows who is coming through the door next and what their hair has been through lately.
What a salon offers varies with the people working in it, so the first phone call is a good place to ask questions: whether cuts, color, or both are on the menu; whether the stylist you want has room for new clients; and how far ahead bookings run. If you are considering color work, ask about the process and the upkeep, since color is a commitment that grows out and needs tending. It also helps to arrive with a clear idea of what you want, or a photo of it, because a shared picture avoids a lot of translation in the chair.
The phone number for this salon is published, so calling ahead is the simplest way to confirm pricing and find a time that suits you. Whether you are coming from the streets around Lions Park or out past the Mary Hill Bypass, a salon close to home is easier to keep returning to than one across town, and regulars tend to book their next visit before they leave. When you call, ask how much time to set aside and whether there is anything you should do to your hair beforehand. Small courtesies like that make the visit smoother on both sides of the chair.
