I can’t say enough great things about Cassidy! She did an absolutely outstanding job on my hair. I had quite a bit of damage that needed some serious attention, and Cassidy went above and beyond to make sure I left feeling confident and happy. She spent nearly 6 hours carefully working on my hair, doing damage control and perfecting every detail. The results are amazing—I am super happy and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Cassidy’s dedication, patience, and skill really shine through, and I truly appreciate all of her hard work. Highly recommend Cassidy to anyone looking for a stylist who genuinely cares about their clients and delivers incredible results. Thank you Misha and Cassidy for taking care of me today! You ladies are the best! ~ m. S

I wanted to refresh my look and went to this salon with very little clarity on what I wanted. The booking process was very smooth and Misha (the owner) was very responsive. Once I reached there, Maria (the stylist) talked to me for a while until I was sure of what I wanted. We discussed what kind of color I wanted, whether we want to do a global or balayage along with my hair texture. At this moment I knew that I could completely trust Maria with my hair. And then she proved it right, she gave me a beautiful teddy/champagne balayage which turned out to be better than my expectations. They use Aveda colors and Misha informed me about these being plant-based and less harmful than regular colors. I’d recommend this salon to anyone looking for a place to get a hair transformation around GTA. ~ Radhika T

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

A huge thank you to Lodina for doing such an amazing job on my hair! I had my keratin treatment done at Pure Self Salon, and I had such a wonderful experience. I’ve had keratin treatments many times before, but none of them felt as comfortable and professional as this one. Lodina was very gentle, careful, and professional, and I absolutely loved the experience and the results. I highly recommend her! I also had a facial done by dear Vinar, and it was such a peaceful and relaxing experience. She was very professional, and everything—from the environment to the tools—was extremely clean, safe, and well taken care of. Overall, I had an amazing experience at Pure Self Salon and would definitely recommend them! 🤍 ~ Toba A

I came to Pure Spa for a color correction with Maria after years of box-dyeing my hair. I wanted to lighten it up for the summer and hopefully achieve a balayage look. Maria really listened to what I wanted and was honest about what was realistically possible, which I appreciated. She was incredibly friendly, and honestly, seeing her gorgeous blonde hair made me feel like I was in good hands right away! She worked her magic, and my hair turned out WAY better than I expected. Not only did it lift lighter than I thought it would, but the shade of blonde is absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Maria completely transformed my hair and got me summer-ready. I highly recommend her! ~ Andrea B

I had the most amazing experience with Fariba! She gave me a balayage, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations. The color is beautifully blended, looks incredibly natural, and adds so much dimension to my hair. Fariba is not only talented but also professional, attentive, and genuinely passionate about her work. She made me feel comfortable throughout the entire appointment and paid attention to every detail. I’ve received so many compliments since having my hair done! If you’re looking for someone who truly knows how to create stunning, customized color, I highly recommend Fariba. I’ll definitely be coming back! ~ Maria S

Sometimes you have the feeling of a change, a real change! I left it all in hands of Pure Self Salon N Spa, the result of colouring my hair into a 'non' yellow blond is great. People were very diligent, respectful, and very knowledgeable, colour specialists. They listened carefully to the changes I was looking for, and explained to me different things before and during the process; so I truly appreciate that. The environment is relaxing, no loud noise, and complementary tea or water. The place is clean, organized, and with a good space ratio to walk, which made my experience more comfortable. I love how they prioritized my health hair condition over anything else, yet trying to achieve the expected results; since my hair is very thin and delicate. No damage done at the end of the process! ~ Gabriela

I’ve been coming to this salon for about a year now, and I can honestly say it’s always such a great experience. I usually get facials, eyebrows, and my hair done, and everything always turns out amazing. Sophia does facials so well, she’s really gentle, thorough, and my skin always feels refreshed afterward. What I love most, though, is the atmosphere. Everyone on the team is so kind, positive, and welcoming. They always make you feel comfortable and cared for, and you can tell they genuinely want you to leave happy. After a year of regular visits, I can confidently say this is one of those places you’ll keep coming back to. If you’re looking for great results and a team that makes you feel good every time, this is the salon to go to! ~ Karunya U

I had an amazing experience at Pure Self Salon with Alex! I came in wanting a soft, natural-looking balayage, and Alex absolutely delivered. He took the time to listen to what I wanted, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process. The results were even better than I imagined—my hair looks so fresh, dimensional, and healthy! The salon itself is clean, relaxing, and beautifully set up. Everyone was super welcoming and professional, and I appreciated the little touches like offering tea and checking in regularly during the service. I’ve gotten so many compliments on my hair already! If you’re thinking about getting balayage or a new style, I highly recommend booking with Alex. He’s talented, kind, and clearly loves what he does. I’ll definitely be back! ~ emma

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

Best experience i’ve ever had at a salon! From the second I walked in I was greeted by everyone and they sat me down and asked if I wanted anything to drink, and then immediately started the process. I have super long hair and not once did my stylist Lodina give me a hard time about it, which has happened to me at other salons. Even though it was a long process due to the length of my hair, every stylist was so eager to help and made the experience so amazing and the time went by so quick because of how friendly everyone was! I absolutely love how blonde we were able to get in one session. I didn’t even think that was possible. Thank you so much!! I can’t wait to come back ~ Samantha S

I recently got a haircut at Pure Self Salon n Spa, and it truly exceeded my expectations! This is easily one of the best hair salons in Markham for professional and stylish haircuts. The stylist took the time to understand my hair type and what I was looking for, and delivered a perfect precision haircutthat suits my face and lifestyle. The attention to detail, technique, and overall experience were outstanding. If you’re searching for haircut in Markham, professional hairstylist, or a luxury salon experience, I highly recommend Pure Self Salon n Spa. The team is talented, friendly, and knows exactly how to make your hair look its best. Definitely coming back again! ~ manan a

I got my hair colour done last week at Pure Self Salon & Spa, and it was such a lovely experience. Cassidy did my colour — she was so sweet, very friendly, and talkative, which made the whole process enjoyable. Even though the salon was quite busy that day and things ran a bit late, the owner Masha kindly offered me a free haircut, Also I had a very nice conversation with her..which I really appreciated! Navdeep did my haircut, and she was very professional and did an amazing job as well. Overall, I’m super happy with the service and the staff’s warm and welcoming nature. Definitely recommend this place! This will definitely be my go-to place from now on! 🌟 ~ Amrutha P

I took my mom to Pure Self Salon n Spa yesterday for highlights and a haircut, and the whole experience was absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and cared for. Misha was so helpful in guiding us on which stylist would be the best fit for my mom’s hair. I’m so glad I followed her advice — Simmy did the highlights and completely transformed my mom’s look with such beautiful, natural tones. And Alex gave her one of the best haircuts she’s ever had — fresh, stylish, and exactly what she wanted! The salon is clean, professional, and has a really calming vibe. Everyone there is kind, talented, and truly listens to what you want. My mom walked out feeling so confident and happy — and that meant the world to me. Thank you to the whole team at Pure Self! We will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to all our friends and family. ~ Piya S

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'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 visited the salon today for a facial massage, and I had such a wonderful experience. Sophia did an amazing job. She is so soft-spoken and gentle, and the massage was incredibly relaxing. I really appreciated that they start with a consultation and take the time to understand your skin before recommending what would work best for you. Sophia also explained each product she was using, which I really appreciated. Another big plus is that they use plant-based products.Overall, I had a lovely experience and left feeling so relaxed and refreshed. Definitely worth a try. Highly recommend Sophia and the salon. ❤️ ~ Vidyottama r

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend Pure Self Salon N Spa to anyone looking for exceptional hair services. Lodina has been taking care of my hair for years, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. She is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and truly the best colourist in the GTA. She always takes the time to understand exactly what I want and consistently delivers beautiful results. The salon is welcoming, professional, and relaxing, and I always leave feeling refreshed, confident, and beautiful. If you’re looking for a stylist who genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in her work, I can’t recommend Lodina and Pure Self Salon N Spa enough! ~ Melinda Y

I had such a wonderful experience at Pure Self Salon & Spa! I got both a hair colour and a keratin treatment, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. A huge thank you to Farida for my hair colour—she really listened to what I wanted and gave me the exact shade I had envisioned. She was professional, knowledgeable, and paid so much attention to detail. The colour turned out absolutely beautiful! The stylist who did my keratin treatment was incredibly patient and meticulous throughout the entire process. She took her time to make sure everything was done properly, and the results were amazing. My hair feels so much smoother, healthier, and much more manageable than before. Everyone at the salon was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend Pure Self Salon & Spa to anyone looking for quality hair services. I’ll definitely be coming back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~ mounika g
