Chura Hair Salon — Local services in Vancouver

This is my first visit to Chura salon. I was seeking to have a cut I received from another salon a couple of days ago adjusted, because the length was uneven, and there was too much bulk at the bottom. Chura seems to have a standard of washing hair before the stylist consult, which put me on alert immediately, because wet hair doesn't have the same consistency as dry hair. I had mentioned to my stylist about the unevenness issue, and that I was looking to have a bit of the bulk trimmed from the bottom to make the shape of my cut resembling less of a triangle. The gentleman who cut my hair thinned it out starting from about an inch from my scalp. I had vocalized my concerns at his technique because my hair is quite springy and thick (Asian hair), so having bits of hair too short will make my hair fuzzy; the shorter bits will stick straight up. He reassured me that this wasn't going to happen; he was wrong. Throughout the entire time that he was thinning out my hair, he kept trying to smooth down the visibly increasing flyaways, which left my hair looking like a helmet with very little movement. He went as far as adding a serum product to my hair at the end of the cut to attempt to hide his mistakes. My hair is parted on the left. By the time he finished my cut, there was actually less hair on the right side of my head than my left, which is ridiculous given the position of my part. The ends weren't trimmed evenly and was very uneven. It left my whole head very fuzzy with massive flyaway issues. It's now also incredibly unmanageable, and the only way I can look half decent is if I blowdry my hair to within an inch of its life and slap enough product into it so my entire head doesn't look like a fuzzball. I work in a corporate environment and this cut not only takes up more of my morning preparation time, it also reflects poorly on my appearance. I'm extremely upset with this experience and will not return. I implore everyone who is considering going to this salon for the first time to proceed...

I don’t know if it’s my fault for spontaneously wanting to get bangs so I took a chance at a seemingly reputable salon that took a next day appointment instead of going to my usual salon, but am regretting my haircut here. How hard is it to mess up a simple fringe and trim at the bottom to keep the length? I mean- I had bangs before and this was definitely not what I was expecting. I asked for straight wispy bangs at least eyebrow length that would frame my face at the sides. And what I got was something too short and cut way too wide beyond the sides of my eyebrows towards my temples lol. I literally had to tell her to stop midway cuz I was getting worried she wouldn’t stop cutting. And half the time I spent there she was just blow drying my hair before actually cutting anything? You would think at least that the stylist would communicate more with you and ask you how you would like your hair styled afterwards at the end of the cut (i.e. blowout, straightened, curled) for example when she was done... Going to be wearing a hat for the next couple weeks before I get this...

I have been going to Chura hair salon for a few years now, ever since Mentors at Metrotown closed. Chura has great hairstylists. They are friendly and have a very polite Japanese work culture. I always walk in with too much hair on my head, as I get a haircut approximately once every 3 months or so. And everytime no matter who is cutting my hair they do a fantastic job. I would recommend the hairstylist Mark as he is less shy and more easy to converse with. However they are all good people. If you want an Asian hairstyle then Chura has got you covered. I have been to other barbers who cannot cut textured wavy spiky hair to save their lives. If I wanted flat boring hair or even a bowl cut or buzz cut, I could do it myself. If you want style try Chura out. On a side note it is now located inside International Village mall. Not the best mall but the suite Chura is in, is larger and better than its previous location at Paris Square. Anyways that...
