Walk-in haircuts are a plaza business in Richmond. The shops sit where the parking is: Blundell Centre, Seafair, Ironwood, the Williams Road strip, the units along Steveston Highway: and most take customers in the order they arrive, which is the whole appeal on a Saturday morning.
City Centre has the other kind: appointment-based shops near the Canada Line stations doing fades, beard work and hot-towel shaves for a commuter crowd, and several Golden Village units run men's grooming alongside full salon service. Prices in this category are more consistent than in most, so proximity and posted hours usually decide it. Both are on every listing, along with the neighbourhood.

Guides and roundups written for Richmond, with the businesses linked inline.
The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
London Heritage Farm sits out on Dyke Road with its back to the south arm of the Fraser, and it is the quietest of Steveston's heritage sites. Here is how I would string it together with Britannia, the cannery and the tram on Moncton Street, plus where to eat between stops.
Nothing on Alexandra Road is a hidden gem. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.
