Both Hair Loom locations are in New West, but not very close to the college. You can ask to see who is available, but after paying for a massage. I have demanded and received my money back after not being satisfied with whom they sent me (but it was a blatant bait and switch situation). I have not been there for a long time and don't know if there are any appealing girls there now because of the high turnover. The available girls are usually sitting just inside the entrance (and can be seen from the parking lot of the strip mall), but some of them might be doing haircuts. And women clients can be waiting in the same area to have their hair or nails done: a bit confusing. It is probably too hit and miss for going out of your way for a visit, but if you are driving along 10th ave or Kingsway (becomes 12 st at 10th) anyway, it could be worth checking out the line up. While the manager will not offer it, there is a 20 min session for about $27.00 with tax and I think all the girls will at least negotiate to do a hand job to get a tip.
For a $30 room fee you can get a longer, more private session with more certainty of what is on the menu at a cheap AMP such as Diamond or Butterfly on E. Hastings. But there is not much else in NW except a few incalls and the message places in Burnaby tend to be more expensive.
