Chura Primo

Ok so I just wanted a c curl at the end and I showed pictures to the designer how I wanted it. He curled my entire hair and I was basically looking like a lion with hair going out every direction. It was completely different from what I requested and wanted. They were like if you don't like it you can come back in 2 week and will do something else for free, but why would I want to go back after my hair was messed up? So I came to another salon to straighten my hair and this is how he cut my hair. Right side was longer than left side and there were parts of my hair that were just chopped off like the picture. I'm really disappointed in how everything turned out even though I showed pictures and clearly told him what I wanted. I don't think I will go back.

Absolutely LOVE this place, and I’ve been going to my stylist (Yuki) for 10+ years now – and he NEVER disappointments. Only complaint (which has nothing to do with the salon itself), is that it is located in a slightly sketchy part of downtown Vancouver, on West Pender Street. It’s about ~10 min walk from Pacific Centre, and very easily accessible by skytrain as well (~10min walk from either Granville or Stadium Chinatown skytrain station). They do not accept walk-ins, so you must book an appointment over the phone (I usually book 1 month prior, as his schedule can fill up quite quickly). Very friendly and polite staff, with excellent service overall. They’re also very good with the timing of each appointment. I never wait more than 5-10 minutes for an appointment, and always leave on time too. COVID-19 precautions: There are plastic curtains between the hair washing stations. Just check in and wait outside until it’s your turn for the appointment. Hand sanitizer available upon entry, and there is a washroom. Keep your mask on, and all staff members also wear masks. Woman’s haircut usually takes 45min-1 hour and includes a wash, blow dry, and also minor styling (straight iron or curling iron at the end). This time, I bleached my hair (with toning) and also got a haircut which was included in the pricing. The goal was a natural ombre ashy brown that would grow out blending nicely (roots unbleached). There was a 5% off promo for following their Instagram (limited time only, and I’m not sure how long this promo will last). After tax, my total was $230 which is very very reasonable in my opinion, especially since a haircut is included. Total time spent in the salon was 4 hours. Process: Bleach (on dry, unwashed hair), wash off bleach, tone, wash off toner, dry, haircut, then style with curling iron. Yuki takes his time and foils small sections of hair, which ensures a very natural blend. The haircut style is Japanese-style, which is usually softer and “whispy” looking with layers. I have pretty thick hair, but the haircut makes it look light, bouncy and natural.

Chura did an amazing job of my hair!! My dyed hair had grown out really badly over the past 3 months of quarantine, and the ends were really damaged from previous treatments. I waited a long time (a month!!) for my 4-hour cut and colour session, but the wait was well worth it. My hairstylist, Hiroko, was super nice and did a wonderful job of fixing my hair. She asked all the right questions to make sure I got exactly what I was looking for. On top of that, she made some great style suggestions to help me properly take care of my hair at home! Will definitely be coming back when my hair grows out again. Thanks again to all the staff at Chura for doing such a great job!

I got my hair cut for hair donation from hairstylist Maki. I had long hair and it was the first time to be short hair so I was nervous that time actually. But I love my new hair style! Thank you Maki! I will definitely come back and get haircut from her again!

I came in for a haircut after trying to book from one of the many Chura locations in Vancouver. . The haircut was done exactly how I wanted it with a blowout at the end of the haircut. I was pleasantly surprised with a 10% discount if you like and follow their insta page (this was in Sept 2021)Their prices are slightly cheaper than your typical salon in yaletown. My hair stylist was very professional!

Maki went through 5 combs with me and was such an expert! My quarantine hair was so long and shapeless. I got a layered bob with side bangs to frame my face. She’s light-fingered and very precise. Checked the evenness to my hair several times :)))) Very happy with Chura Primo. I definitely recommend this place! 07/05 - 2021 Double color and cut! Wonderful job as always. Daiki gives the best hair wash/massage and is very attentive in his cut/color! Keep up the great work :)

The best hair salon with great quality of goods, good service and reasonable price. Maki always provide the deep knowledge of hair and let me take the best choice out of it. Even with bad hair condition, she makes my hair great all the time like magic! I love her positive energy and smiles as well as her great skills! ?

It’s my first time perm hair in North America, and it’s amazingly great!! I used to do my hair in Asia but it’s not an option during pandemic. I booked my appointment about two weeks before the date. They sent me text reminder and call me one day before the appointment. The stylist did a great job and we had seamless communication. Awesome place with unbeatable price!
