About Terra Nova Barber
The barber in Terra Nova Village shopping center at No. 1 Road and Westminster Highway. Men's cuts, head shaves, hot towel shaves and beard trims, open seven days with shorter Sunday hours. First come, first served in practice.
Walk-ins are how this shop actually works, so the planning question is timing rather than booking. Saturday morning at a seven-day neighborhood barber is predictably busy, and a hot towel shave takes the time it takes, so aim for a weekday or go early. Terra Nova Barber does men's cuts, head shaves, hot towel shaves and beard trims, open seven days with shorter hours on Sunday. That is the old model, and it suits the setting.
The setting is the northwest tip of Richmond, where Westminster Highway ends at No. 1 Road, hemmed in by dyke on two sides, with the rural park, the community garden and the West Dyke Trail running south toward Garry Point. The shopping center at that corner is the only commercial block for a long way in any direction, which makes one small plaza the entire high street for the neighborhood. Nobody out here is driving across the city for a haircut, and nobody in the shop is pretending to run a grooming lounge.
The compensation for any wait is everything around it. You can be out of the chair and onto the dyke trail within five minutes, and there are not many haircuts in Metro Vancouver you can finish with a walk along the water and a view across to the island. Go on a clear morning and the trip stops being an errand.

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.

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.
