About Kam's Barbers
Barbershop in the Coppersmith plaza near Ironwood, convenient if you are already doing errands in south Richmond. Classic men's and boys' cuts and beard tidy-ups, with a lot of long-time repeat customers.
Errands are what put most people in the door of a suburban barbershop. A haircut is a convenience purchase, and the deciding factor is usually whether it fits into a trip you were already making, which is the whole case for a shop sitting in the Coppersmith Way plaza in south Richmond.
The work is classic men's and boys' cutting with beard tidy-ups, which tells you what kind of shop it is. Nobody builds a repeat clientele in a suburban plaza by being fashionable. You do it by getting the same cut right on the fortieth visit, and that is a different skill from the appointment-only barber-lounge model that has taken over parts of Vancouver.
Ironwood is the southeast corner of the city, past the point where Richmond stops being dense and turns into wide roads, big plazas and single family blocks. Ironwood Plaza and the Riverport complex are both close, so there is plenty around it if you are combining stops into one run. It is an easy drive from Steveston, Broadmoor or the Blundell area and an annoying one from anywhere north of Westminster Highway.
Phone ahead if you are working to a tight window, because plaza barbershops vary in how they handle a queue and turning up cold is a gamble either way. For anyone in south Richmond who has been driving further than necessary for a straightforward cut, the geography alone is the argument.

What to Do in Richmond on the Labour Day Long Weekend
The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

Where Locals Actually Eat in Richmond BC
Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. 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.

Terra Nova Rural Park and the West Dyke Trail
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.
