The bob isn’t just one haircut. There are so many options and they are currently trending Vanessa McGrath | Toronto Barber | Stylist

Blunt, soft, shaggy, cropped, French, textured — the right short cut is less about following a trend and more about finding the shape that works with your hair, your face and the way you actually live.

Save this one for your next consultation.

Which one are you bringing to the chair?

SUMMER HAIR HAD ITS FUN.

But summer’s winding down,

✨ The best extensions are the ones nobody notices.

If you’ve been thinking about adding length or fullness but you’re worried people will know you’re wearing extensions… this is your sign.

At VDMH Studio, I use the Invisible Bead Method® with Genius Wefts to create seamless, lightweight hair that blends with your natural colour, density and texture—so it moves, styles and feels like your own.

✨ No bulky rows.
✨ No obvious extensions.
✨ Just naturally beautiful hair.

DM me the word “LENGTH” and I’ll help you decide if Invisible Bead Method® extensions are the right fit for your hair. Consultation spots are limited.

Kinda chic having the same barber for 10 years.

If you’ve been in my chair for years, thank you for letting me be a small part of your story. And if you’re looking for your forever barber, there’s always room for one more.

For a long time, I thought productivity meant saying yes to everything.

Now it looks a little different.

It’s building a business I’m proud of, showing up for the people who count on me, and making space for moments like this. Rest isn’t the opposite of ambition—it’s what makes it sustainable.

Some days the most productive thing you can do is show up for your own life.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know that I love trying new products so I rarely finish a bottle.

So when I do, and immediately buy them again, they’ve earned a mention and possibly a permanent spot on my shelf……we’ll see how good the new test products are (description in a previous post) and if they will score even higher then these……

✔️ VERB Density Peptide Hair Serum (60 mL) — $28 CAD
✔️ Nioxin Diamax Advanced Hair Thickening Serum (100 mL) — $60 CAD

After using both consistently from start to finish, here’s what I noticed:

• Hair felt stronger (less fragile)
• Noticeably shinier finish (added youthful appearance)
• Healthier overall look and feel
• My hair looked fuller—even though I didn’t experience any additional hair growth, I still felt the condition of my hair, the hydration and the shine had greatly improved.

That’s why I bought them again.

I don’t like to recommend products because they’re trending, but since I repurchased these

Have you ever repurchased a hair product because it genuinely worked? Loved the smell? The price was right? I’d love to hear what’s earned a permanent place in your routine and why.

Please share in the comments below ! I’m currently looking for hair growth and strengthening products to test out to help my hair loss/ thinning clients find the best options.

Thanks in advanced for your help in this!

Great hair doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by appointment.

The best haircut isn’t the one that gets noticed first.
It’s the one that still looks right three weeks later. The one that works Monday morning, Friday night, and every coffee stop in between.

That’s the standard behind every cut in my chair.

If you’re looking for a barber in Toronto who obsesses over the details as much as you do, I’d love to meet you.
