1. Good hair salon for big color projects
Original title:Good Hair Salons Specializing in Big Colour Projects
Post summary:I'm looking for a hair salon that can do fun color projects. I've had Naples done twice and I want it again. The first two times a relative did it for me, not a stylist, but very skilled and with a keen sense of what's good and bad for hair. We need a lot of work to keep doing this at home, so I'm wondering if anyone knows a place that has done something similar or enough to make this perfect. I'm willing to go anywhere in Simcoe County. The first four

2. KOTN CC surcharge
Original title:KOTN cc surcharge
Post summary:If you shop at the auction, you may already know they add a 2% surcharge if you want to pay by credit card. However, they seem to misunderstand that Visa/Mastercard debit is not a credit card. I have a Wealthsimple Mastercard debit (linked to my chequing account), and the girl was sure the 2% applies. At first I thought I'd use another card anyway. But I'm worried they're ripping off other people, and it's an ongoing issue. They have a printout because it looks like

3. Moonstone Road Louis
Original title:Moonstone st. Louis
Post summary:So, I recently bought a season pass for 2026/2027, but unfortunately due to a back injury, I'm not sure I'll be able to ski/snowboard by then. From the terms I read on the pass, I clearly see it's non-refundable, but I'm just wondering if anyone has had luck getting a partial/refund from this operator if I just talk to them about my situation? Any help or advice is appreciated. Cheers.

Email their customer service, and you'll likely only get credit for next season (2027-2028) because you chose not to take the insurance payment refund, and they'll probably tell you to kick rocks.
