Salon de Nuvida

Stylist Jacob is fantastic here. I’ve been following him since he was at zeal and can see the difference of quality from other salon. Quality of the products and the service is absolutely fantastic here! I would recommend his service with a blink of eye! Thank you for your service, Jacob!!!

Salon de Nuvida is one of the best Hair Salon I’ve been to hands down.
I have been to several hair studios with different hair stylists until I met Jacob, one of the owners at the Salon de Nuvida before he opened his shop.
The whole atmosphere of the salon is very upscale and gorgeous with natural wood décor.
Staffs at the salon are courteous and provides amazing service.

My friend and I were visiting Vancouver from the San Francisco Bay Area; I wanted to get my hair colored, just for kicks. So glad we found this place! I may have to travel to Vancouver for my hair now…
Of the many salons we walked past (Vancouver, why do you have so many hair salons?), this one definitely had a cool vibe — clean, hip, modern. I told Jacob I wanted to color my hair, but didn’t know much else. Any other stylist would’ve given me a stink eye, but he patiently talked through my options, going through a digital flipbook of pictures. I leaned towards certain styles that turned out to be impractical; I appreciated his professional advice based on my type of hair and his experience.
The salon serves amazing honey tea from Korea. Make sure you try some.
The team stayed late to work on my friend and I (closing time was 7:30pm, we walked out well past 8pm), but Jacob even took extra time to curl my hair, to show how cool it’d look with the new color. I got a balayage — not knowing how it was going to turn out or what I even wanted, I was surprised by how much I love it. I’ve been swishing my hair around now any time I’m in front of a mirror.
Thanks, Jacob and team! From your fans in California, you guys are amazing!

I’ve been going to my stylist, Jacob for about 3 years now (he was working at another salon in downtown Vancouver before Salon de Nuvida opened), and every time I come in to get my hair cut/​coloured, he really does his job well. He put in time and effort to carefully cut my hair. I had ombré and as my hair looked a little messy, I have decided to go darker. I’ve never been to salons that use Aveda products before, but I must say, I love their products now! The colour turned out really pretty, and exactly what I was wanting to do. Jacob gave me his pro advice when we were deciding on colour, but wasn’t pushy with his opinion at all. I’m glad I went with what he had suggest :) They have a high quality hair treatment available, so I will be going in next month for that as well. Highly recommend this hair salon to everyone :)

I’ve been going to Jacob to get my hair cut for a while now, and he’s great. What so often was a chore is now an absolute delight.
The place has a really elegant feel and they totally pamper you. When you arrive, they take your coat and hang it inside a private locker so you know your stuff is secure. They always wash my hair both before and after the cut and you basically get a free head massage with each wash. They also have a bunch of beverages available for you to sip on while they style your hair — everything from tea to juice, a pretty impressive selection.
Overall the operation is very smooth, they have some excellent stylists, and the décor and atmosphere are great. It’s a bit more expensive than the $ 10 haircuts I used to get as a kid, but the higher price is justified in the quality of the service.

I love coming here! Great service and all the stylist are wonderful here. I have gotten my hair cut by both Jacob and Hiro. Recently, I went from midlength to super short which for most women is terrifying enough but Hiro was so detailed and made sure to explain to me what he was doing before chopping it off. Since I got the cut, I get compliments on my cut pretty much everyday :) and more importantly, my hair is growing out to such a nice style which never happened to me before when I cut my hair short. I would have to keep cutting it short again cuz it would hit the awkward stage but Hiro’s cut was so on point.
If you wanna have a chill hair session, with a relaxing wash… honey tea from korea which Jacob is so proud of having part of his service, and walk out looking like a diva… Go Here.

The place has a welcoming modern décor and big space, also not that’s busy since they just opened last July, so if you’re in the area and in rush, they can take you right away. Decent service for the price in downtown area especially for Yaletown.
