This Richmond salon is my go-to currently after terrible haircut at another salon. The salon with many Japanese hair stylists offer variety of services with reasonable prices. They give you 10% off for referring. The parking space is available behind the salon, you need to drive into the ally next to the salon then park where retail parking, get the pass for dashboard from the salon. Recommended! read more

The hairstylist did not ask me if the water temperature is fine when she washed my hair, and she put something to cover my nose and my mouth when she washed my hair. That was odd because usually the hairstylist would only cover the customers' eyes. It was difficult to breathe. Also, she told me to sit up while she was still drying my hair at the back. Usually, the hairstylist would have wrapped my hair before they told me to sit up. She made me look bad and uncomfortable. I asked for layers and she did not give me a lot of layers. She said she would give me a little bit. That was not professional. The she tried to make my ends curly using the hair dryer and I told her I wanted my ends straight. She did not understand layers; she kept asking if I wanted thinner hair. I said no. She asked me twice if I wanted bands and I say no. Moreover, while she was cutting my hair, she let the hair fall onto my hands which could have been avoided. She did not put on the cape for me - she needed me to hand the other side to her instead of putting it on me. The service was terrible and she was indeed incompetent. Furthermore, when I said the haircut looks good, she kept on cutting. I said, "It's good' several times and she was still cutting my hair. Then she asked my sis, who was sitting beside me, "Is she okay?" I did not know why she said that; she was embarrassing me. When she finally stopped cutting, she looked at me with an anxious look and told me I could go back if there is any problem. She made me look bad with her exaggeration. In addition, she left a lot of the hair on my face after she finished cutting my hair - she only handed me the tissue box when I looked at the mirror and tried to wipe the hair off my face. Moreover, she and another hairstylist were chatting and looked at my sister with a weird gaze. That made her uncomfortable. When I tried to pay, the receptionist showed me a higher price after he knew that I was paying in cash. Why would they charge less if you are paying with credit/debit card? That was not right and he did not explain. Then the receptionist said, "No change? Tips?" after I tipped them. He was insulting. I think they knew that they should not treat customers this way and this was why they charged me $3 less. I was surprised when I saw the price but now I understand. read more

I really enjoyed my haircut with Kuki. I was visiting from Seattle and thought I'd give a place in Richmond a shot and came across Mauve Hair. I gave Kuki a little bit of direction, and she did a great job cutting my hair. Something that threw me a little off is that my hair wasn't washed until after my cut, which I'm not used to. But to me, it doesn't really matter what order this happens. I'll definitely be visiting the next time that I'm in Richmond. read more

I've been seeing yoshimi at mauve for at least 5 years now and she has never left me with a bad cut. When I see her, I often just show her my ideal hair length and tell her to style it however she sees fit. Watching her work is absolutely mesmerizing and a perk that comes with her haircuts is she will often give me a quick neck and shoulder massage after washing my hair! While our appointments are often spent in silence, I don't particularly mind this as, again, watching her cut my hair is all the entertainment I need (simple girl simple needs lol) and also Im just not a fan of small talk- I really do appreciate people who are as comfortable with silence as I am :) the salon deserves 5 stars, not just for their cut and massage, but also for their standard of cleanliness. The stylists here work so swift and efficiently, i don't even see when they've swept my cut hair off the floor- it's literally there one minute and gone the next. On top of that, they are always very polite throughout the whole process. Overall a very relaxing experience, every time! They also have visitors parking around the corner, just ask them for a parking pass after you check in! read more

I just had a cut with Makoto and it was perfect. He is very good with fine hair like mine. He gave me long layers, a very clean sharp cut (plus head/neck massage). I love this place. Both stylists I used were great. I highly recommend this salon, hard to find good stylists and this place is full of them. One thing that differentiates them is the atmosphere. It's very serene and peaceful, with soft lighting (not blinding white lights) and low noise level. read more

Came back to this salon a week ago with my Mom, sister and son. I had Yoshi cut, color and trim my hair. He did an excellent short haircut that's easy to manage and maintain. My 10 year-old son also had haircut with Yoshi and he loved the whole ensemble of getting shampooed and pampered like Mommy. He said he would want to get his haircut with them again. I appreciate that their doing all the Covid-protocols; their hair salon is squeaky clean and they're just amazing people who knows their craft. We'll definitely come back the next time we travel to visit family in BC again. My Mom loved her hairstyle, as well and so did my sister. Thank you guys! read more

Really enjoyed my experience here with Yoshi. My friend referred me to him and he did a great job. I love the decor and cleanliness. Would be good to have a coffee or tea offered here to top off the experience! The hair wash was relaxing and given a blanket for the legs and eye cover. Super relaxing. read more

Yoshi did magic on my hair as I went to him with a bad perm and cut (by another stylist in a Vancouver salon). It was the first time and I was just taking my chance after reading all the comments in Yelp. I didn't know who to choose, so I just went with the owner. I made the right choice. Before the appointment, I had contacted them about my hair on fb and they were very responsive. Even though Yoshi might look cool at first, but he actually is very friendly. Just the right amount of talking. The salon is actually quite quiet (the salon was full), which is a good thing for most people. Yoshi is very professional and offered good advice. It's not difficult to communicate with him. I can also see the other stylists in the salon are all very professional. The equipment is also professional. I got a haircut and hair treatment and they actually use a steamer (the previous salon only put some stuff in my hair, wait a few minutes and then then wash off, just like what I do at home). This is more like the salon style of hair treatment. Overall it's a great experience! I will come back again and refer some friends. Thanks, Yoshi! read more

Omg I love it. I took a chance here as my usual place Chura on Granville is going under renovation. I'm glad I found this place. They are located across the Bay Richmond Centre on Saba. Street parking cost $$ but they have visitor parking passes for the building. My hairstylist is Kumi, she's so nicee! And she give me EXACTLY what I asked for - a light trim and dark ashy brown. I will be going back! First timers get 10% off!! read more

I got my hair done by Miyuki. She took a good 20 to 30 mins to do the consultation to make sure she knows what i wanted. She gave me a nice soft wavy perm with lot of body.And as the result im super happy with my hair , i cant wait to come back to get my color done. read more

Mauve Hair - Miyuki gave me a very soft and wavy perm. Im in love with my new hair. - Hair Salons Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

This is my 2nd time here! I requested Sayuri to do my hair because she did a great job my first appointment. Sayuri is honestly the nicest hairdresser I've ever had, and she really takes the time to understand what you want. She is super skilled and precise in the work she puts into your hair. Thank you Sayuri for making my hair look pretty again! I will be back :) read more

Had a cut today with Hana. Really nice and sweet. She really took the time to make sure I had the best cuz accommodated to what I want and what's best suited for my hair. I have extremely thick hair, so she was super nice about it. Also she gave the best head massage ever! Highly recommend her read more

Love this salon! It's easy to get to, and really clean and modern inside. I went to mauve to get a quick haircut and I called a day in advance to book an Appointment and the person over the phone was really nice and explained Everything great. Also, they gave me 10% off because it was my first time going to the salon! I arrived a few minutes early for my appointment and they asked my friend and I to fill out this sheet and we were sat down really quickly. My stylist was Asuka and she was great. I showed her some pics of the cut I wanted and she went onto magazines and showed me more pics to make sure what I wanted exactly. The cut took a total of an hour and that included a wash, and a blow dry. Overall I really enjoyed my experience at this salon and will definitely be returning. read more

I had a great experience getting a haircut at Mauve Hair! It was nice to see that they took careful COVID precautions. There were only a few customers in the salon and all the employees wore face shields and masks. Masks are required for customers and temperature is checked upon entry during this period. I was really satisfied with my haircut with Kumi! She did a great job with my requests, and also added suggestions which helped the final result look great! Very satisfied and will definitely be back! read more

Well I saw the good reviews and told myself my sick hair needed a cut. I had like spaghetti ends type of hair and very thin looking dead ends . Make an appointment was easy and I was early and they really accommodated and welcomed Me and my toddler good My hair dresser was Rie. Very polite and nice. Showed her a picture quick and she managed to do the same style . She took good care of me and was always respectful and the most important skilled. I am from Montreal QC where hair dresser all have attitude. At mauve hair everybody was awesome to me and my toddler Thank you Rie I am very cute now I recommand this place also because good price too read more

If I could give this place more than 5 stars for this review, I would. Everything is done in precision. I browsed through one of their Japanese magazines and picked out the hairstyle I wanted. Natsumi who cut my hair did a great job. You also get a relaxing shampoo and conditioner service when you get a haircut. Blow drying and a little styling is also included on your hair cut service. The next day I had to go back and buy the heat protectant spray and the hair creme that Natsumi used on my hair. It smells really good and works very well on my hair. I also like that they don't upsell you with anything. They don't offer you to get treatments done or to buy anything from them. Since moving to Canada, I had a difficult time looking for the perfect salon and person to cut my hair. I am very picky when it comes to my hair. I have found a new home for my hair at Mauve. The guy who cuts my hair before Canada was also a Japanese. I would travel across the world just to get my hair done but now that I have discovered Mauve, I have found a new home. read more

I have been going to Mauve for almost a year. Yoshie is a very competent stylist and very friendly. Communication can be tricky like many Japanese salons. A nice touch is the head massage he gives. Free parking provided in the building's parking lot. I have no hesitation to recommend this place. read more

I really love this Japanese hair salon! I really loved my long hair and coming in here, I was very skeptical. The stylists were more than patient with my indecisiveness. They helped me choose a good style and something I'm comfortable with. I am very happy with the results! read more

I paid almost 140 for perm, and part of my hair is still straight after perming it. The hair stylist re-permed my hair the next day but still isn't really working and my hair is so damaged after perming it twice. I didn't really want to give a bad review cuz the hair stylist is nice but I'm just really upset about my half straight, half curly and fully damaged hair:( Plus, the hair stylist doesn't really speak English. read more

Poor communication and bad attitude. Won't come again. I used to like to come here to cut my hair a lot. But staff in this store come and go. I ended up changing my hair dresser twice in a year. Recently I got a very bad experience,and decided not trying anymore. read more

I went to this salon based on the yelp reviews. The place is quaint and busy. I really like that the stylists all seem to be really passionate about good hair. My stylist was Rie and we instantly hit it off. Although we didn't talk much (I actually really like this as I prefer to zone out and relax) but Rie checked in to make sure I liked what she was doing. She really figures her way around your hair and feels out which way your hair naturally falls. I went in for a hair cut about 3 months ago and I still see the amazing movement in my hair from her work. Will definitely go back! read more

My first time at Mauve and let's just say that this will not be my last trip. I got paired up with Sayuri and she did an amazing job. She listened to what I wanted and was able to project the exact cut from the image I provided her with, leaving me feeling more than satisfied! Mauve has a nice clean and relaxing environment, and staff that leave you feeling relaxed in your chair with no incessant or distracting conversation. Great place! read more

Drove from Seattle to Richmond just to get a haircut at Mauve! Excellent hairdressers, very professional, cut was clean for a reasonable price! My mom and I both got a haircut and are very happy with the cut. read more

This salon is extremely clean and the staff members are really friendly. The service was really quick, I did not have to wait for long until I got my hair cut. And the price for my haircut with a wash was only $38, which is an amazing price comparing to other salons. My hair was cut by miyuki and she was really nice and efficient. I loved how my hair turned out and It exceeded all my expectations. I definitely would return to this salon for my future cuts. Also, I would book in advance because the salon will most likely be pretty busy. Overall, it was a great experience, and I will go back in the future :) read more

If I could give this place 0 star I would but since i can't i'll give it one star because im generous af. This was my second time coming to this salon since my first experience went pretty well so i decided to give it a second chance because why not. I was on time for my appointment but because of limited parking spaces it pulled me back by 15 minutes. As i finally found a parking spot and made my way to the store which was literally a minute away, i received a call from the store employee informing me i was late and basically told me in a rude tone to not come at all which was ridiculous because i made my way there and got shut down without even given a chance to explain myself. They had really poor service, poor communication and just overall a bad experience. I am truly disappointed and will never ever go back again. read more

Tatsuya San rocks. Hopefully my review does not get him too busy to take care of my hair, LoL.

I had an excellent experience with Yoshimi. I found the salon online and didn't expect too much. It is close to my work so it is convenient to me. I showed a picture to Yoshimi and let her know what I wanted. She did an awesome job and the result was beyond my expectation. It looks great and I love it. It is exactly what I wanted. Thank you Yoshimi!! I will definitely go back! read more

I come here every time I travel to Richmond! I've referred them to so many family members!

Sayuri was friendly and very professional. Was able to book an appointment easily over the phone and at short notice. Free parking at Paloma 2. read more

Yoshi and his wife are great. Yoshi is a friendly, experienced, and skillful hair stylist. It is better to show him a picture of what you want as a picture worth a thousand words! Convenient location, free parking (ask for pass), great hair salon and chairs! I have been getting a haircut from Yoshi for several years! Pretty satisfy with his service. =) read more

Clean studio, free parking in back, and skilled stylist. Had a cut and colour combo at a reasonable price (3 hrs of work). They provided me with reading material, free wifi, refreshment, scalp and shoulder massage too. Only wish the massage could be longer! :) read more

Excellent experience! My wife and I were in town for vacation and are in urgent need of a hair cut. We found Yoshi and Yoshimi online and decided to give it a try. Many times, its hard to find stylist who knows Asian hair. The wash was very pleasant. Comes with a massage too! I just told Yoshi to make it look good and he more than exceeded my expectation. My wife was very happy with her cut too. I worry she may make us move to Richmond just for the stylist. Again, very good experience. Thank you both! read more

I have found this place on Yelp when I was in desperate need of a hair makeover. My stylist Natsumi was an absolute sweetheart. Although English is not her strong suit, I addressed my concerns with my hair and she had no problem understanding. She paid close attention to detail and made sure I was comfortable at all times. I had an amazing experience and I don't think I will want to go to any other hair salon. read more

Mauve Hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

This is my 2nd time at the salon - the last time I had my cut by Yoshi and was very pleased with it. This time I had my hair cut with Yoshimi - the cut was not done well at all and I actually ended leaving in the middle of the cut since the hairdresser became very defensive and actually very unprofessional. I did pay fully for the cut and will not return. Pros - Convenient parking available (run in and get a parking pass) - Some good stylists available (Yoshi I've tried) - Reasonably priced at $45 - Cute play room for toddlers Cons - I requested a simple shoulder length layered cut and brought a photo. - The cut I received was very uneven with jagged chunky lengths. The thinning they do is randomly distributed chops with thinning shears (the place that I normally go to does thoughtfully placed thinning usually without thinning shears). - The layers were very uneven in front and when I mentioned this very nicely to the stylist, she became upset with me and then asked me repeatedly if I wanted a straight blunt cut . I pointed out the parts where the edges were uneven at which point she took out thinning shears and started indiscriminately chunking throughout my hair. - She became upset and left me for about 10 mins to fuss at the front reception. I sat in my seat not knowing what to do. - At this point, I asked her to stop and she very unprofessionally took shears and started to snip at my hair in long somewhat dramatic strokes. She kept asking me if she should just go ahead and cut it blunt straight with the scissors in and around my hair. - At this point I got the message and became very nervous and asked to have the hair cut end, leaving in the middle of the cut. I paid the bill and left. The overall experience left me with a very bad taste as I thought the stylist was very unprofessional and I had asked quite nicely about asking for more natural layers (when in fact, the cut had some of very uneven ends to see if they could trim them more naturally (I have now have an early 90's chunky but a la Jennifer Aniston). My hair is in pretty poor shape because of the chunky and extensive use of thinning shears so I'll need to go back to my regular hairdresser to get this fixed. I could never recommend this place to another person not only based on the incredible lack of skill and the poor haircut I received but also the way a customer is treated when asked for feedback on the hair. read more

Amazing price and great service. Yukari was really sweet. I showed her a picture of a cut I wanted and the cut she gave me looks identical. Also best massage I ever received at a hair salon! read more
