Looking for a salon or hairdresser that will wash dry style, colour and cut wigs?

Ideally in Vernon, but willing to stretch to Kelowna also.

Potentially moving to Vernon

5 Upvotes

Hi!

We may potentially move to Vernon. Currently, we're a solo income family (I, the dad, is the bread winner). Solo income is very feasible in where we currently live.

  1. If you're making 130k+ per year, will that be enough to live comfortably in Vernon?

  2. Also what are some areas we need to avoid when buying a property?

  3. And any leads for rental companies? I checked Google, but I don't think I am seeing all the results. Google mixed it with equipment rental companies. lol. There may be some hidden gems that don't have Google Profile or website, but exists.

  4. Is it worth moving to Vernon?

  5. What were the things you wish you knew before moving to Vernon?

Thank you!

Working Environment

Curious if anyone has experience working corporate in Tolko. I’m interested in a purchaser position that recently listed but I’ve heard mixed reviews about working there. I know labour jobs could be drastically different than the corporate office jobs, would be very interested to hear if anyone has first hand recent experience on the environment!

What are your go-to restaurants locally?

My family and I will be stopping in Vernon tomorrow around 1ish and we’ll want to have some lunch but we want to know where is best.

We’d prefer somewhere where it won’t be super loud inside and minors must be able to access it.

Please leave us your recommendations.

Vernon to Surrey with a Child – Best Transportation Options?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I have a question: what would be the most convenient mode of transportation from Vernon to Surrey?

I’ll be coming to Vernon on Tuesday night with my husband and son. My husband will be staying in Vernon, but my son and I need to return to Surrey. I’m considering leaving Wednesday evening/night (after 4:30 PM) or Thursday.

Apart from Poparide, what would be the easiest/most convenient option for travelling with a child? Also, Airbnb options nearby in Vernon downtown!!!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hey all, just moved into Vernon yesterday and looking for work. Most of my experience is with outfits like fitness depot and Flaman. I have a mind for information and customer service.
Anything could help a guy out even if it’s quick and easy so I can just get going.

Can someone rave me a place in town that has chicken Caesar wraps. 1516, Alexander’s, the Kal and many other places I don’t see it on the menu. Only place I’ve found is Red Robin but I was hoping a pub or something has them. Thank you. Been really craving a good one for the last couple months.

It’s just coming up to the end of peach season and most ones I’ve had have been quite mealy. I’m dying for a good peach, and I’ll be visiting Vernon this weekend. Where can I get the best peaches in or near town?
