Aliya’s Beauty Centre

Linda is amazing for long hair (don’t know about short). It always looks good once she’s done. She has been cutting my 11 year old daughter’s hair in long layers for years with absolutely no complaints. She also did a fantastic styling job for her (long, loose curls) for a wedding we attended!

I recently took my little one here for her first haircut, after I had tried unsuccessfully to give her one myself…
They were really nice in fixing her hair. I showed them a picture of what I wanted and they understood. I thought the price was fairly reasonable for her haircut ($ 15). And it was a pretty quick process.
If you are planning to go around the holiday season, it might be best to make an appointment. I just walked in, but they were pretty busy. We ended up waiting around 10 – 15 minutes, which wasn’t bad at all, in my opinion. I will definitely take her back for her next haircut!

I don’t know why this place isn’t busier! Pretty clean, good english, great prices, lots of parking or transit. Waxing, Tinting, Threading, Excellent. Sometimes you can walk in. If you call ahead, they will always get you in soon. I will say they don’t have a lot of practice bleaching white girls hair, but if you have complaints they will readily fix it. If you don’t like it speak up… same thing for anywhere else. Show up with a picture of what you want. They are not mind readers.

I was putting off going to a salon to get some threading done, mainly because I was incredibly busy and could never find the time. But the day before a reunion with some old old friends, I knew I couldn’t put it off any longer! So I looked for a place close to work — lo and behold, I find this gem on Unilocal.
It’s located on Main and 13^th, inside the mall that’s glued to the IGA there. Made an appointment in the morning, came in after work, and had my entire face threaded.
The lady was very friendly and did a thorough job. She also took the time to trim my brows with scissors and tweezers to ensure they were the perfect shape AND took the time to remove some of the baby hairs that were sticking out near my forehead, which was appreciated. Not a lot of places trim your brows and take out the extra baby hairs — many will just thread the general shape and send you out the door.
Around $ 30 (I think it was $ 29 something) for everything — brows, upper chin, side burns, and other fuzzies on the face. Not bad, considering a similar deal would be $ 45 (or more) at a higher-​end salon. When I got there, the ladies were helping a guy pick out some hair products and teaching him how to use it, which I thought was nice (compared to other salons that solely upsell you on the product). I also noticed there were a lot of long-​time clients who have been going there for quite some time, so you know Aliya’s is pretty reputable.
tl;dr: Will likely come back!

Found this place off of here ( Unilocal). I just to moved to Vancouver from Richmond so I needed a new threading place. Least painful eyebrow threading I’ve ever had! Not sure if it was the place or me but I was happy. A little bit more expensive than my other place. It was $ 10 but considering I was happy, it wasn’t painful and I didn’t have to wait too long, I was okay with the extra $ 5 than my other place was. Will most likely go back.

Don’t go here for an ombré. They really don’t know how to ombré they just made my hair look like my roots are showing cause they dyed so high up and it’s not even the color I wanted. I’m so upset and cried my eyes out when I got home. The lady over charged me and it was such a bad job.

Best hair cut I’ve ever had and at a reasonable price!!! I can’t even explain what she did but my hair never looked so good!

I’ve been going to this salon for about 5 years now and am always amazed at what Yen can do. I love her style and expertise. I’ve had highlights done, complete hair makeovers and even my eyebrows done. They’re all awesome and professional.
This last time I had Linda do my hair and it was great! I love the colour and cut she suggested for me for the fall. I’m really enjoying my new look :)

Been meaning to drop by a handful of times, usually pretty full and ppl like myself don’t have time to wait lol but today I lucked out.
Walked right in, no wait at 4pm… probaby the best thorough wash I’ve had in a long long time, and long time, easily 5 min. and a bit of a scalp massage. No shoulder massage like at the Japanese salons but pleasing nevertheless.
For men’s, $ 22 including rinse after, and style.
even accept AMEX, yay!

I’ve been going to this salon for as long as I can remember. I used to live in walking distance to it but I’ve slowly moved further and further away. Regardless, I still go there for my haircuts with either Janice or Jennifer. They’re all very good and although they are able to take walk-​ins, I still book an appointment.
They listen when I tell them how I want my hair to look and how I’m feeling about it. I always leave happy and when I try other salons, I end up going back there in the end. They leave my hair looking beautiful and feeling healthier (because I got all my dead split ends cut off and they round brush blow-​dry it after my cut)
I also visit for brow threading and the occasional manicure/​pedicure.
Amazing place!

A great place for a threading! Usually, I just pop in to purchase Sebastian hair product, but today, feeling especially furry, I decided to get the threading done, now.
Cathy was great. My eyebrows are the best shape — she spent time with the scissors and tweezers to perfect them. Got the face done too, as I have some big nights out coming up. The price — $ 22.00, total!
I like the charming women who work here, they are friendly without being overbearing or upselling retail product. A bit old school, but clean. Paper sheets used in the facial room, which is great, no cooties here. Lots of glossy magazines to read, too.
The washroom is clean. Lots of parking in the IGA parking lot. Aliya’s is one block south of 12^th Avenue, in the mall just behind Tisol Pet Foods.

Aliya’s is in the mini-​mall near my house, which, for an area with lots of amenities doesn’t have many salon-​type places. Dropped in and got an appointment for 30 minutes later, no problem. Amanda waxed me super fast, quite thoroughly, and with minimal pain (for something that is inherently painful). Nothing fancy here, but I’ll go back because it was convenient, quick, inexpensive and a good experience.

this is the place i like to duck into when my eyebrows are going astray and in my busyness, keep putting it off to get fixed up…
i never have had to wait (which is great since i never make an appointment)
i get them waxed… and its been done by probably 3 different ladies… all of them very polite and talkative, but not overly chatty. they all seem to compliment me on my hair and how great my eyebrows are… after 3 of them saying so, i guess i should believe it then?
never had any issues or been unsatisfied with the finished look… the cleanliness is not ‘spa-​like’ standards so i dont know about the rest of the services they provide.
i like how im in there and out real quick =)
and the price is very reasonable!

I’ve been going here to get my hair cut by Lisa for about 6 months after I was referred here by a friend. I have coarse Asian hair, and it’s been a struggle to find a hair stylist that can cut my hair well. I have been really happy with Lisa so far… she knows how to layer my hair properly so that it grows out nicely. And, a cut only costs me about $ 40! I haven’t gotten my hair cut by any of the other girls, but they all seem to do a great job. It’s quite busy here, so I would recommend making an appointment first unless you don’t mind waiting.

As my local beauty salon at the time I went to Aliya’s to get a pedicure once and some waxing done a few times. The pedicure I had done was great up until she applied the nail polish. I looked on in disappointment as she plastered layer upon layer of tint to my toenails, knowing that she wasn’t leaving enough drying time in between and that this was sure to make the polish bubble, which it did.
The waxing however, was really good. She did a great job on my eyebrows, underarms, and legs. She paid attention to detail, which I really appreciated, and I would definitely come back here to get waxed again.
The interior of the salon is tacky, small, and crowded which doesn’t make for the most pleasant environment. I’d never get my hair done here (another service which is offered), but that’s based on my own personal preference, I’m sure they’d do a fine job.
