Per capita, Richmond may be the most heavily serviced beauty market in the region. Walk one floor of Aberdeen Centre or Parker Place and you will pass salons, nail bars, brow and lash studios and skincare rooms in a single loop, and the upper floors of the No. 3 Road plazas hold dozens more behind unmarked doors, found by word of mouth rather than by a sign on the street.
Outside that corridor the pattern flips to neighbourhood scale: a salon and a nail place in each plaza at Blundell, Seafair, Terra Nova Village, Ironwood and in Steveston village, serving the same clients for years. This section covers hair, barbering, nails, day spas and tattoo studios, with hours and the neighbourhood on every listing.
Private appointment-only studio near Sexsmith and Hazelbridge, working in fine line, floral, brush-stroke calligraphy and Asian styles including Baybayin script and Chinese stamp designs. The exact address is given once you book with a deposit.

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.
