Clients reviews about Pure Self Salon N Spa

This was my first time at this salon and I’m so happy I went. The staff are so friendly fly, I was offered coffee, tea or water as soon as I walked in. I saw Priya for my haircut. I was initially leaning towards a medium length blunt bob for convenience. I told Priya that I typically keep my hair long with layers but my hair has been falling out more so than usual and I was thinking of going short. Because my hair is slightly wavy, Priya shared that a blunt bob might take some effort to style; she suggested keeping the length just below my shoulders and adding face framing layers along with curtain bangs. She gave me a scalp massage, washed my hair, cut it and styled it. I’m so happy with my haircut. Priya is lovely and great at what she does. Highly recommend. ~ Rajini N

Way over due!! I been coming to Pure self hair salon for some time now and I don’t know to why I never thought of leaving a review, let’s start by they are absolutely incredible! Not only that Lodina is a talented stylist, but they go above and beyond to accommodate their clients’ schedules. I had a last-minute change and Misha worked magic to fit me in without hesitation and that’s something I do all the time due to my hectic work schedule. Their professionalism and dedication to providing exceptional service are unmatched. The salon is always welcoming and the entire experience is seamless from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about their clients and makes every visit stress-free, Pure Self salon is the perfect choice, Lodina is the Hair Queen. ~ Eynas E

I’ve been going to Pure Self Salon N Spa to get wash, cuts and styles with Alison since 2015. I’ve never been disappointed. Alison is calm, friendly, and listens to clients while giving her honest input. I love how the salon uses Aveda products but has more affordable pricing than salons in Toronto. The salon is always clean and I’ve never had any issues with booking appointments or running behind schedule. I have thick, curly hair (2C/3A) and get my hair blow dried straight when I get it styled after a cut. It still looks nice when I leave my hair curly (air drying or diffusing). But with recent natural curly hair trends, I’d love to see more of what Pure Self salon stylists can do with curly, textured hair, embracing clients’ natural hair. ~ Monika D

Amazing salon!!! I went to this salon on Thursday morning and got a haircut with Priya and she is .. AMAZING!!! She is super sweet and kind, but her work is phenomenal! I just got a haircut, but I’ve never had anyone do such amazing layers and face framing! And also, when you book a haircut, it’s almost an hour and a half because they do an awesome head massage when they wash your hair. My scalp has never felt so clean! I 100% recommend this salon for anyone looking for an amazing cut and style! I have also seen their colouring work and it also looks great!!! The owner of the salon is also very sweet. She washed my hair for a bit! But overall felt very welcome and was treated very well! Will be back for sure!! ~ P H

Trying a new salon and trusting someone new with my hair had me nervous, but Monica at Pure Self Salon and Spa was amazing! I got a full head of highlights and a cut, and I’m so happy with how it turned out!! Monica was super sweet, easy to talk to, and really took the time to listen to what I wanted. She made sure to understand my hair goals and came up with a realistic plan to get there. I felt totally comfortable and confident in her hands, and definitely recommend her. The rest of the staff were also so kind and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. The salon itself is clean and has such a nice vibe. Thank you again to Monica and the rest of her team — I’ll definitely be coming back! ~ Sylvia G

I recently visited Pure Self Salon n Spa after a friend's recommendation, and I couldn’t be happier! They have an incredible selection of Aveda products, and their deals are some of the best I’ve come across. Whether you're stocking up on your favorite Aveda items or trying something new, this is definitely the place to go. I also decided to try their spa services, and they were absolutely amazing. The staff is professional, attentive, and really knows how to make you feel pampered. The ambiance is relaxing, and you leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. If you're looking for quality products and top-notch services, I highly recommend giving Pure Self Salon n Spa a try! This place is a gem. ~ Sukhbir R

When I moved to Markham from downtown Toronto, I was worried I wasn’t going to find a salon I would be happy with. Was I ever wrong. Grace (cut/colour) and Monica (manicure/skin care) are a super team! I always walk away learn something new from them (or even other staff who are equally knowledgeable). Whether cost saving tips about shampoos that are right for me or tips on how to care for my cuticles, they explain things so clearly and give you multiple options tailored for your hair and skin. It’s not one size fits all which I so appreciate. I never really leave reviews and frankly don’t want to share but I’m compelled to in this case because you gotta share good things right?!! And bonus, they use Aveda products which was key for me. ~ Emma

I've gotten my hair cut by Allison for years now (even before she started working here), but never ventured into Pure Self because I thought it was a little above my price range. Well it was worth it! The hair cut includes a relaxing scalp massage and wash/blowdry and a thorough consultation about what you want before you dive in. The stylists always check on you during the appointment and are knowledgeable about all different hair types and styles. I was impressed by the service (they offered tea or coffee) and the friendly conversation/banter between everyone! Such a friendly and welcoming environment. I'm saving up for some colouring in the future! Love this place, and I will be back! ~ Amanda G

I had a appointment with Vass on Saturday and I left feeling so impressed. I got exactly what I asked for without even using a reference photo. I have thick, coarse Asian hair that dries out pretty often from over washing. I came in with long hair without much shape/layering. I asked for an overall trim, long bangs and long layers throughout my hair to reduce the overall weight and to change the framing around my face. Vass explained his process thoroughly at every step. After the blow dry/styling, he encouraged me to come back after a week or so if I thought there were any areas I felt needed more layering. I was so satisfied with the result that I booked my next appointment for a trim in 6 months. I usually cut my hair once a year or less because I haven't found a stylist in Markham that I trust or leaves me feeling satisfied. This experience changed that! Thanks Vass! ~ CJ

I had an incredible experience with Lodina at Pure Self Salon & Spa! She did a gorgeous balayage with a blue overlay, and the results completely blew me away. Lodina made sure to understand exactly what I wanted and exceeded my expectations. This was my first time getting my hair professionally colored, and I couldn’t be happier. The complimentary hand massage by Sophia, the esthetician, using Aveda Hand Relief was also a lovely bonus. I also had a great chat with the owner, Misha, who was so warm and welcoming. Lodina is not only a talented stylist but also a wonderful person who made the whole experience so enjoyable. Highly recommend! ~ Sadixya K

Since moving back to Toronto, I’ve been on the hunt for a great hair salon, and I’m so glad I found Pure Self Salon & Spa. Lodina has been absolutely wonderful! I’ve seen her a few times now, and she always exceeds my expectations. She listens carefully to what I want and delivers results that leave me feeling confident and refreshed. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she’s also warm and welcoming, making each visit such a pleasant experience. I’ve already recommended her to several friends, and they’ve all been just as thrilled with their haircuts. I’m so happy to have found my go-to stylist! ~ Riya P

Very nice clean salon, they offer you water, tea or coffee during your visit. Love that they only use Aveeda hair products. They play calm soothing music which enhances your experience and makes you feel like your at a spa. Very friendly knowelegable staff, know what they are doing. It's a small team of hairdressers and an esthetician and they all seem to do amazing work. The salon definitely provides quality work over pumping out clients. Wish they were open later and on Sundays, dont always get an appointment when I want but they always do their best to find something that will work for my schedule. ~ Vanessa D

My first-time experience at Pure Self Salon N Spa was excellent. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Monika did my eyebrow threading, and she shaped my eyebrows exactly how I wanted it, and she did a great job. I had a wash, haircut & style with Grace, an excellent and talented stylist. She did a fantastic job reducing the length of my hair with the perfect layers and was so gentle and patient. She has so much attention to detail, took time to style my hair, and gave the same style that I wanted. My hair looked much healthier and pretty walking out. Overall, it was such a relaxing spa experience, and I can't wait to go back again. ~ SR

I went here at the recommendation of a friend and was definitely not disappointed. I've had so many bad haircuts in my life so I'm always hesitant to try to new places and hadn't cut my hair in over a year. Talat did a fantastic job on my hair, she was very thorough at making sure everything was even and so nice to talk to. She gave me recommendations for products and styling tips (since I don't know how to style my hair whatsoever). I love how welcoming and comfortable the place is, their stylists definitely know what they're doing. I'm so happy with my hair and their service. Definitely recommend!! ~ samantha

I recently got a balayage done at Pure Self Salon & Spa, and I have to say, they are absolutely amazing! The results speak for themselves – my hair looks stunning! On top of the incredible hair work, their customer service is top-notch. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and they really make sure you're comfortable throughout the entire experience. The salon itself is spotless, and even their barista is great – they make delicious drinks while you relax. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for fantastic hair and a great experience overall! ~ Asma a

I highly recommend Pure Self Salon for all services. My experience with Lodina, Misha (& Monica in earlier visits) turned out to be a delightful, enlightening, memorable, rejuvinating experience. They warmly welcomed me, took greatest care of my comfort and addressed all my concerns during my consultation visit. Despite my delayed arrival and themselves being fully booked and engaged with multiple customers, they managed to provide me an unforgettable, wholistic, top-notch experience. I look forward to returning time and again for all their services. ~ seema s

I had such a great experience getting my eyebrows threaded and shaped! Priya was super friendly and really took the time to understand what I wanted. She cleaned them up perfectly, shaped them to suit my face, and made sure they were even—which is always a win. The threading was painless! My brows looked so clean and defined afterward—I couldn’t stop looking at them! If you’re looking for someone who knows what they’re doing and makes you feel comfortable the whole time, I definitely recommend Priya at Pure Self Salon! Loved it! ~ Maria M

I travel from Ottawa to Markham every couple of months and was in need of a haircut so I booked an appointment with Sophia. Being East Indian, my hair is thick and curly. Sophia was very busy on that Friday but she took her time and gave an excellent cut, with just the right amount of layers and texturing. I was very impressed and will be going back, and this time will also take my daughter for a cut. Also want to mention, the receptionist Misha was great and the salon is very clean, truly a professional place with affordable pricing too. ~ T S

I had my first appointment with Lodina, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the moment I sat in her chair, I felt completely at ease. She listened carefully to what I wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and executed everything with such precision and care. The end result was beyond what I expected—my hair looks and feels amazing! Not only is Lodina talented, but she’s also incredibly friendly and professional. I’m so glad I found her, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! ~ SHIVANGI S

I got my balayage done at Pure Self Salon n Spa in Markham, and I can’t explain in words how incredible they are! The team is so skilled and attentive, and they took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. The results are absolutely stunning – the color is perfectly blended and looks so natural! The salon itself is clean, welcoming, and has such a relaxing vibe. This is definitely the place to go if you’re looking for high-quality hair services and a wonderful experience. Highly recommend Pure Self Salon n Spa! ~ Regina S

I had an incredible experience at Pure Self Salon n Spa! Their hair services are truly amazing. I came in for a layered cut, and they went above and beyond to make it look perfect. The stylist did a fantastic job framing my face, and I’m so happy with the results! The attention to detail and care they put into each step made all the difference. The salon has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and everyone was so friendly. Highly recommend Pure Self Salon n Spa for anyone looking for quality and style. I’ll definitely be back! ~ Devanshi J

I started going here last year because their hair treatment is so good. My first haircut was good albeit a bit shorter than what I requested but the service made up for it. I waited a few months before going back for a haircut and highlights and requested for a different hairstylist. I am so so happy I did. Allison is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I was really impressed at how professional and friendly she is, she listened to what I have to say and took the time to understand what I am aiming for and was very honest with what she can do for my hair that is closest to the style I want. She showed me pictures of her recommendation and didn't settle until we were both happy with the style and colour choices. I have been to many different salons before with varying price point and I can honestly say you get what you pay for at this location. The level of service from everybody is outstanding, everyone is friendly, it's not intimidating. Thank you Pure Self team for a lovely relaxing afternoon! Thank you Allison for a job well done! ~ Zarla J

Excellent salon. Welcomed with warm Coffee and cookies on a cold winter day. Clean and cosy place. Staff are all be kind and friendly. Happy I discoveries this gem. I don’t live in the area but worth the drive. Each time I come home my husband comments on how nice my hair style looks. Simiran and Sophia are two of the hair stylists that have given me hair cuts and style, both are fantastic. They even give a mini head massage while shampooing and conditioning your hair. ~ Antonietta H

This review is overdue. I almost never get my hair done, and in the past I've always chanced it based on online reviews. I've always left feeling "meh" or disappointment. So to be beyond happy with how my hair came out is an understatement. The salon was clean and inviting. All the staff I interacted with were friendly. I walked in just to see if someone could give me a consultation. I was greeted by Allison (who not only did my hair, but my mother's hair as well). We spoke about my options, and I booked with her for a couple of weeks later. She is talented and professional. She listened to my concerns and actually respected my wish to keep my hair long. I find when I go somewhere, stylists like to just trim my hair shorter than I ask because they think they're doing me the favor of removing my dead ends, but it just makes me annoyed they didn't listen. For my mom, she gave her a beautifully done pixie cut and highlights. Piece of advice: Allison books up, so if you want your choice of time, be sure to book ahead! Thank you Allison and Pure Self Salon! ~ Marianne O
