Modern Mix Vancouver


Ian Daburn Salon, Yaletown 604-694-0639

What values does Ian Daburn Salon work by?

Ambitions to be the best does not consist of only advancing in skill, but to also advance in self. The balance between self-awareness and work is very important. It connects to three major details that we consider to be a well structured and stylish work ethic for hair stylists to have: Passion, Uniqueness, and Perfectionism

What do you predict is the next big trend in hairstyling?

Feminine grunge with a mix of muted colours, with fusions of styles, disheveled, naturally tousled to encourage a messy, raw texture.

What are some recommended hair products?

Kerastase Oleo Curl, Kerastase Soleil, and Kerastase Noctogenist. See www.kerastase.com for details on all these products

Any tips on how to find a good hairstylist?

Ask around. Don’t be afraid to ask someone on the street if you like their hair. Many of our clients are word of mouth.

A month ago, we challeneged Vancouver’s three top salons to come out with the next new IT hairstyle for Modern Mix Vancouver’s SHEAR GENIUS contest. And the results are in…

Having “virgin hair“, it was an absolute treat to be involved with Shear Genius and get my hair cut, colored and styled at the sleek and modern Ian Daburn Salon in Yaletown.
Jessica was my senior stylist for the afternoon and we spent a great deal of time going through my needs. She gave me several options but in the end, I really just told Jessica that I trusted her and her scissors to give me the most suitable look: the “Disconnected Bob with a Textured Veil”. That means, Jessica updated the classic bob cut and layered my hair in a “disconnected” way with some pieces longer than the other.
The hair at the back of my head is also shorter and it smoothly glides into longer hair at the front, framing my face. The whole process took a careful 4 hours but it was a comfortable procedure as I was throughly entertained with tea, coffee (mmm latte), chocolate, magazines, as well as a personal greeting from Ian Daburn himself. I love my trendy, new haircut and have gotten so much positive feedback about it. At times, I feel like a walking billboard for Ian Daburn Salons but I’m sure proud of it!
