Review from Tarryn V.
6/18/2010
I went here because of the rave reviews on yelp, and saw Stephan, a master stylist... they have three levels of stylists, and master was the highest (and most expensive!) I wanted the opinion and precision the title master stylist suggests, and I got exactly what I wanted. it was a bit pricey, but I thought it was totally worth it.
I didn't know if I should go short or long or what style would look best on me. Stephan recommended length, cut, style, and even suggested I switch the side I part my hair on to better suit my face (which, surprisingly, was a HUGE improvement). I LOVE my cut and so does everyone else.
he parted my hair a little more than my cowlick likes it to be when he cut it, and I found there were a few strands that were a little too long now that I'm styling it myself. I stopped back at the salon to have someone touch it up... Stephan was there and touched it up, fixed the back (which I didn't style as well as I could have.. I was in a rush that morning) and gave me a couple styling tips to help me with styling the back free of charge.
so yeah. I love my hair and even though it was expensive, it was worth every penny. I'd definitely go back if I'm ever in montreal again, and I will seek out Stephan if he's in NYC and my stylist back home can't follow the cut. can't vouch for the junior and senior stylists, but the master totally lives up to his title. -

I got a recommendation to cut my hair here with a girl named Laurance (not sure about the spelling but is sounds like the guy name). I got a time within the next couple of days - no waiting for weeks here! I arrived and got ushered to the hair washing place and had my hair washed before my stylist looked at my hair (which seems to be the Montreal-norm). Don't they want to see how my hair parts? If my hair is curly? Wavy? Nope. Ok. I look best in some sort of unruly bob, so I tried to describe that to her. The hair cut I ended up with was pretty cookie-cutter hair dressing school - like it was a decent hair cut, but not adopted to suit my type of hair and my taste. Like it was polished but bland. Not bad - just not very exciting.
I think it cost around $50. -

I've been back in Montreal for 2 months now after a 4 year absence. I've been looking for a good hairdresser for me ever since. I must say that I'm still looking.
The salon is very nice looking. It's vast and has an upscale feel to it. I'm a male and had a junior stylist that will remain nameless. I asked for a faux-hawk. I didn't really like the cut that she gave me.
I hear that there is 60+ hairdresser in that salon. I will take an appointment with another hairdresser next time as the price is reasonable and the salon enjoyeable. -

I was just visiting Montreal for a few days on business and decided I needed a haircut, so I sent a message to my friend who lived in MTL for a while (now he's in Toronto) where he used to go, and he sent me to Salon Pure.
Nestled on the 4th floor of the bourgeois Cours Mont-Royal, it's like a little bit of heaven tucked away in downtown Montreal. It's a few floors above the shops, so you don't feel like you're in a mall at all - and given the upscale nature of the boutiques, you're not getting your usual Eaton Centre foot traffic here.
The open-air atmosphere from the reception desk (which is shared with the neighboring Spa DIVA which I will write about soon!) and friendly service had me from the the instant I stepped off the escalator. It was easy to schedule an appointment (I asked for a specific stylist, otherwise I'm sure they could have seated me immediately), and a few hours later (after some frantic shopping!), I was back.
Dominic came to get me, introduced me to Lissa (my friend's stylist that I requested) and showed me to my seat and took me to get my hair washed. Very nice guy, and he gave a great shampoo & scalp massage! Another big plus for a trip to the salon!
When I returned, he asked me what I wanted to drink (I spied mimosas & vino around the room, but I restrained myself and had a glass of water), and then Lissa got to work. She was absolutely adorable and gave me the perfect cut I was looking for. Seriously, I've gone to a lot of salons, but she "got" me almost instantly - I'm SO happy with my cut! We chit chatted a bit, but my brain was running a mile a minute with some other business stuff I had to do, but I can guarantee, anytime I have a trip to Montreal looming on the horizon, I will wait an extra week or two to schedule something with Lissa!
The prices were great (compared to the NY prices I'm used to!) and I think everyone deserves a little pampering... this would be a MUST on my Montreal list... can't wait to go back!Listed in: Montreal Musts!

I needed a nice haircut for a great price, and in a nice enviroment, and this place did it for me. I was very impressed that they were billigual there were no language barriers and the staff was extremely friendly!
You can decide who cuts your hair from a junior stylist to a senior, and you know what the junior stylist performed very well I had Gerevive, I love my new hair cut for only $35!
I will definatly come here again, even if I am from NYC because its worth the trip for a nice cut. This place should open a shop down here. -

I came here with high expectations expecting more creativity in Montreal but a bit disappointed. It is a good salon, fast service but the person who washed my hair was err...kind of not enthusiastic abt her job...alas who would be truly interested in washing others hair anyway.
The stylist I had was carrie I think, she is nice and did a good job. However, the cut is just standard in a upscale salon. It is not the kind of wow amazing turnout I had with some Tony & Guy stylists. If you want a safe bet, this is the one.
