Bijou Bodysalon
About Bijou Bodysalon
An owner-run hair salon, in the old commercial grid around Five Corners.
Hairdressing has followed the housing in Chilliwack, and the housing has gone south. The greatest number of salons now sits along the Vedder Road corridor through Sardis and Vedder, in strip plazas built beside the subdivisions of the last fifteen years. The older group is downtown, in the grid around Five Corners, where some rooms have been cutting hair for decades. Bijou Bodysalon is listed on that older side of the split, with a postal code in the core.
What a downtown address means in practice is different from what a plaza address on Vedder Road means. The core carries more than 350 businesses across a walkable set of blocks, banks and clinics and pharmacies and small independent shops, with the District 1881 redevelopment adding a second cluster beside it. A salon in that grid catches people who are already in the neighbourhood for something else, and it works off street parking rather than a lot of its own. It is also worth knowing that Promontory and the Eastern Hillsides, sitting immediately above the city, have almost no commercial space at all, so a good number of the stylists serving those neighbourhoods either rent a chair down on the flat or work from a home studio.
The listing itself is sparse. No phone number, no website and no street address are given, only the neighbourhood and a postal code that will at least put a map on the right few blocks. For a business that runs on appointments that is a real limitation, since there is nothing here to book with and nothing that says which services are offered or by whom. Expect to do the finding yourself, on foot around Five Corners or by asking. Chain and franchise salons are kept off this list entirely, so everything on it, this included, is somebody's own room.

The twelve Chilliwack neighbourhoods, and what each one is actually like
The City defines twelve. Three of them hold two thirds of the population and almost all of the shops. Here is the honest version of each.

Chilliwack eats in three separate places, and only one of them is obvious
The drive-throughs on Luckakuck are the visible half of eating here. The interesting half is downtown, out on the farm roads, and in the strip plazas nobody photographs.
