Pura Vida Color Studio is a boutique beauty salon. Our expertise is Balayge highlights, corrective color, and gray-coverage. We also are known strong for giving some of the best haircuts in Ann Arbor.
We are a color focused, full-service hair salon where we are all American Board Certified Haircolorists. The additional training and third-party testing involved in being Board Certified enables us to precisely color your hair. Hence, for us precision color is being able to give clients predictable hair color results. So when clients say, "This is the color that I like", they can come back and get the same thing.
Courtney Monroe is my #1 reason for loving my experiences at Pura Vida Color Salon. She is endlessly kind, patient and professional. Courtney always listens and negotiates with me in our consultation concerning my wavy/curly naturally graying hair and the result is 100% even better than I had hoped for. I never feel rushed, but somehow, in the calmest way I can imagine, she is quick. There is no wasted time.
My SOLID #2 reason is how comfortable, confident and protected I feel in the salon. Pura Vida Color salon has made a great effort to establish & to continue the practice of safe measures to ensure that we can all get the service we need without the fear of the pandemic invading the serenity of the salon space.

We think Courtney is incredible too! Thanks for the review!
Bottom line...Raine listens to what you want. She has a professional, yet kind way of communicating with you, which puts you at ease once you sit in her chair. Even during Covid concern, she has taken the necessary precautions to make her clients and staff feel safe.

Raine has been cutting my hair for about 20 years now. She's simply awesome, and she runs a great shop. Her color skills are amazing. She's constantly undergoing training on new skills or perfecting existing skills, along the other stylists. I highly recommend her shop!

Thanks Jessica! Raine appreciates you noticing all her drive to provide a great color and refine her skills.
Pura Vida rocks!!! I've been going to Courtney for a few years now for cuts and color and she is nothing short of wonderful. Raine, the owner is really great too. Pura Vida completely lives up to its name as a beautiful and tranquil place to be. Their COVID safety protocols and space layout was extremely impressive and made me feel super safe. It is always very clear just how much thoughtfulness goes into this wonderful salon, not to mention every stylists major skills, kindness, and qualifications. You won't be disappointed.

Hi Laura , Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. We are so pleased to hear your first visit with us went great and you are loving your Cezanne Smoothing Treatment. ( I just got one by Courtney too ?) We are looking forward to seeing you again this upcoming week for your next appointment.
Christy was very efficient and a great stylist, she only looked at the photo of the style I wanted one time and briefly, and then did it perfectly. She also seemed familiar working with curly hair, which can be rare to find. Would definitely recommend her.
