Book Your Haircut
A great haircut is more than just trimming your hair. It's about creating a shape that complements your features, works with your hair's natural texture, and fits your lifestyle. At Wish Dry Bar, our stylists with 4+ years of combined experience specialize in precision cutting techniques that deliver beautiful, long-lasting results.
Founded by Sogol Onsori, Wish Dry Bar has built a reputation for excellence in hair styling. Our stylists stay current with the latest cutting techniques and trends while honoring classic styles that never go out of fashion. Whether you're looking for a dramatic change or a subtle refresh, we take the time to understand your vision and deliver a cut you'll love.
We work with all hair types and textures, from fine and straight to thick and curly. Each haircut begins with a thorough consultation where we discuss your goals, assess your hair's condition and growth patterns, and recommend the best cut for your unique features. We consider your face shape, hair texture, styling preferences, and maintenance requirements to create a customized look that's perfect for you.
Timeless and versatile, the bob can be customized with various lengths and angles to suit your style. Perfect for those who want a polished, professional look that's easy to maintain.
Add movement and dimension to long hair with strategically placed layers. Reduces bulk while maintaining length, creating a lighter, more manageable style.
Bold and chic, the pixie is perfect for those who want low-maintenance style with maximum impact. Can be tailored from ultra-short to textured and longer on top.
The perfect middle ground between short and long, the lob sits just above or at the shoulders. Flattering on most face shapes and easy to style multiple ways.
Textured, layered, and effortlessly cool. The modern shag works beautifully with natural texture and creates volume and movement throughout.
Clean, sharp lines create a bold statement. Blunt cuts work especially well for straight or slightly wavy hair, creating the illusion of thickness and density.
Consultation: We begin every haircut with a detailed conversation about what you want to achieve. We'll look at photos if you've brought them, discuss your daily styling routine, and assess your hair's current condition. This ensures we're both on the same page before we start cutting.
Hair Analysis: Our stylists examine your hair's texture, density, growth patterns, and any previous chemical treatments. We also consider your face shape and features to recommend the most flattering cut for you.
Precision Cutting: Using professional shears and advanced techniques, we carefully craft your cut. We work section by section, checking balance and symmetry throughout the process. Our stylists are trained in various cutting methods including point cutting, slide cutting, and razor cutting to achieve different textures and effects.
Styling Guidance: After your cut, we show you how to style your hair at home and recommend products that will help you maintain your look between visits. We want you to feel confident recreating your salon style every day.
What sets our haircuts apart is our commitment to customization and precision. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all haircutting. Instead, we take the time to understand your unique hair and create a cut that works specifically for you. Our stylists have extensive experience working with diverse hair types and are skilled in both classic and contemporary cutting techniques.
At Wish Dry Bar, we use only professional-grade cutting tools and maintain them meticulously to ensure clean, precise cuts every time. Our beautiful, comfortable salon environment makes getting a haircut feel like a luxurious experience rather than a chore. We also offer the convenience of booking at our West Vancouver or downtown Vancouver (Fairmont Pacific Rim) locations.
Our team of skilled stylists brings years of experience and continuous training to every haircut. Under the leadership of founder Sogol Onsori, we maintain the highest standards of technical excellence and customer service.
Each stylist specializes in working with different hair types and cutting techniques, ensuring you receive expert care regardless of your hair's texture or the style you're seeking.
Wish Dry Bar has been featured in leading publications and recognized for excellence in hair styling:
Most people should get a haircut every 6-8 weeks to maintain their style and keep hair healthy. However, the ideal frequency depends on your hair type, the cut you have, and how fast your hair grows. Short styles like pixie cuts or fades typically need trimming every 4-6 weeks to maintain their shape, while longer styles or those growing out can go 8-12 weeks between cuts. Regular trims prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft and keep your style looking fresh.
Yes, please arrive with clean, dry hair for the best haircut results. Clean hair is easier to cut precisely and allows your stylist to see your hair's natural texture and how it falls. However, avoid using heavy styling products that might alter your hair's natural state. If you're planning to get a blowout after your cut, we can wash your hair as part of that service.
Yes, our stylists with 4+ years of combined experience can often correct or improve unsatisfactory haircuts from other salons. During your consultation, we'll assess what can be done to fix the issues while working with your current length. Sometimes a correction requires cutting hair shorter than you might have wanted initially, but we'll always discuss options and get your approval before proceeding. We'll also give you realistic expectations about what's possible given your current cut.
Our stylists are trained to recommend cuts that complement your specific face shape, and we'll guide you through the best options during your consultation. Generally, certain styles are more flattering for different face shapes, but personal preference and lifestyle also play important roles. We'll look at your features, hair texture, and the styles you're drawn to, then suggest cuts that will enhance your best features. We can also show you photos of similar cuts on people with your face shape.
Yes, our stylists are experienced in cutting curly, wavy, and textured hair of all types. Curly hair requires specialized cutting techniques because each curl has its own spring factor and the hair looks very different wet versus dry. We often cut curly hair dry so we can see how the curls naturally fall and ensure even length and shape. Our stylists understand curl patterns and know how to work with your hair's natural texture to create a beautiful, manageable style.
Yes, a well-executed haircut should look good at every stage of growing out. Professional stylists cut hair with the growth pattern in mind, creating shapes that maintain their integrity as your hair gets longer. The key is getting regular trims to keep the shape refined. If you're growing your hair out, let your stylist know during the consultation so they can plan accordingly and make recommendations for the transitional stages.
Yes, we can add bangs or refresh existing bangs without cutting the rest of your hair. Many clients come in just for bang trims between full haircuts. During your consultation, we'll discuss bang styles that work with your face shape and lifestyle. We'll also show you how to style them at home and warn you about the maintenance commitment. Bangs typically need trimming every 2-4 weeks to stay at the right length.
Layering creates different lengths throughout your hair to add movement and dimension, while thinning reduces bulk by removing some hair from within each section. Layers are cut at various heights to create shape and can make hair appear more voluminous or lighter. Thinning uses special scissors or a razor to remove weight from thick hair without affecting the overall length or shape. Your stylist will recommend the right technique based on your hair type and desired result.
