Small shop, steady hands

There's no rushing here. Color gets mixed to match, not guessed at; cuts get a second look before you're handed the mirror. Regulars have been coming back for the better part of three decades, and new faces are shown the same patience.

The Y Factor is also home to the shop's hair tinsel and braid bar, for anyone who wants a little extra sparkle for a night out or an event.

"I've been going to the same chair for eight years now. It's the kind of place where they remember what you got done last time, and what was going on in your life when you got it done."
