Bijou Bodysalon

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.

The listing itself is sparse. No phone number, no website and no street address are given, only the neighborhood 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.
