Chris is the undisputed hair colour champion of my world. In fact, my mum loves my multi-dimensional highlight-y dark chocolate brownish/red colour so much that she made Chris her stylist as well. Happy! Chris has another hairgod-like talent - he does the sexiest, shiniest, bounciest and longest lasting blowdries that I have ever received. Thank god this salon is blocks from my house - I am never more than minutes from pretty hair. read more

Chris B. did a great job and gave me a haircut I wanted. Apart from being very skilled at what he does, he is also very nice in person, and has a great sense of humor. This is how hair looks two weeks after the cut, without much styling: this is what I wanted, a cut that has a shape that doesn't require time consuming care. read more

Union Salon - Worn in style - Hair Salons Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

When looking for a place to get my hairs did, a few friends recommended Mine Style Source. One of them specifically recommended Chris. So I called in and booked an appointment with him for a MAJOR trim and to get my bangs done again. It has been years since I had any kind of hairstyle other than a wavy mess! Time for a change... He did an absolutely perfect job! My hair felt so light and healthy after getting over a year's worth of split ends off my head. I have some subtle layers but I wear the style straightened with straight-across "bettie" bangs. My roots were pretty brutal when I went in and since I couldn't afford to get any kind of dye job, he actually brought out a can of Halloween black hair spray paint and touched my roots up that way until I could go home and use the evil box dye. Too funny! They also offer free bang (or fringe, if you prefer) trims! I go back once a month to get my bangs out of my eyes. This is so handy! And Chris is such a nice and funny dude. I recommend him to everyone! read more

A hidden gem! I had walked past this place so many times without knowing it was there. Then Chris moved from his old salon to here, and I moved with him! This guy really 'gets' hair and has magical powers to make my hair exactly how I ask for. Wish I could do the same at home, but I have to say Chris gives some really stellar advice for home styling as well. (Although we both know my laziness is the main obstacle.) A huge bonus for a salon that's high end like this one, is that I feel completely comfortable. I really hate going to a spa or other fancy pants place and feeling like I'm some kind of urchin.... obviously I'm a bit paranoid... anyway, it's a sweet space. All the other staff are quite friendly too. read more

If I have extra money in my budget, I spoil myself with a trip to Mine. I like to go to Cath there, she's as cute as a button with a voice like your favourite cartoon character and she does a great job on your hair. She's a really good listener and makes sure she understands what you want before she starts snipping. Cuts start at $55. Anthony is the proprietor of the salon, does a fashion bit on Global news and was in a reality show for hairdressers (kind like the fashion design or model shows, but for cutting hair). He's obviously a man with his finger on the pulse of fashion, so you can be sure when you go there that he and his staff will get you up-to-date with all the latest. The salon is near the corner of Broadway and Main, so it's easy to find. read more

I used to go to Gloss when they were on 11th at Granville. I like their new location, not far from the old one, on Granville at 16th. I see Tamara for cut and highlights. She is awesome. I've been seeing her for several years now. She is consistent. I always love my cut and colour. And when she shampoos my hair, I am in heaven. Lovely scalp massage that seems to last for hours. If Tamara is busy, and she can't wash your hair for you, Pedro will do it....and his scalp massages are amazing too. Whoever answers the phone there is really professional. I've had to rebook my appointment twice recently, and they are always able to accommodate me. Can't wait to go see Tamara and the team at Gloss this weekend! read more

First time going to this salon and I found it very friendly with lots of free on street, or pay parking nearby. My appointment was with Jennifer who was very attentive and creative. She gave me a great cut especially for the first time doing my hair... which can have a mind of it's own! read more

Union (used to be "Mine") is a nice upscale, chic salon. I wasn't happy with the end results. I got my hair dyed and the colour my colourist chose made my skin look washed out. He picked a cooler tone when he should have picked warmer tones for my complexion. I am disappointed because I told him to choose the colour and take my complexion into account. I went to another hairdresser after and the first thing she mentioned was how the colour was wrong for my skin tone. I'm going to get it fixed. I feel like I wasted about $300 at this place, plus another $150 I'm going to have to spend to get it fixed. My stylist did a great blow dry and the scalp massage is nice. I won't be going back though as I don't trust the colourists ability to see the overall picture of how colours go with the person. it's a shame because I wanted to make this my regular place as it's in a nice part of town and really funky. read more

I went to the same hairstylist for a long time. While she was great for most of my life, after I cut my hair short, I was always left the salon complacent. I never felt really happy with my hair just "eh, it'll do". I felt as though, as she got older/I got older, she was afraid of taking risks with my hair/didn't know what to do. I've always had an edgier look, but my hair never really translated that well; whatever I envisioned was never brought to fruition. Though, I realise that there is room for error when someone else is interpreting what you had in mind, but as a hairstylist, I would figure you could make it happen. Another problem I had was that I've done everything possible to my hair. I've had it really long, crazy colours, short, really short, half shaved etc. So, by now, I really had no idea what I wanted to do. This is why I did my research for a new salon/hairstylist. I looked up over 25 salons in the Greater Vancouver Area and narrowed it down to Union Salon. What really sold me was the funky atmosphere of the salon and the accolades of its staff. I was really impressed. So, naturally, I phoned in to book an appointment. The receptionist that answered the phone was very nice and sweet. She ended up booking me with Preston Buffalo. I basically went there sat in the chair and told Preston "I need you to fix this. I don't know what to do with it anymore...it really needs help. Whatever you think works, I'm game for." Preston took it in stride, and he seemed to know exactly what he wanted to do when he saw me. He's a great conversationalist, and he's funny. I had a great time and I am in love with my hair! It's funky, edgy and different. I'm so very happy with it. Many people are wary of the price...honestly, I don't think it's that bad. You get what you pay for. I highly recommend Union Salon and Preston! Even though this is a high-end salon, when I went in there I didn't get this pretentious air or feel like a cockroach that didn't fit in. It has a great, friendly atmosphere and they serve you a nice hot cup of coffee, tea or water. It's fantastic. I find it hilarious that Union Salon is kinda hidden by the Suki's giant hair salon beside them, but Union, without a doubt, shines brighter! Go change your look and love it! read more

I LOVE getting my hair done by Jenny at Union Salon! She is a genius! I got highlights, a treatment, and a trim back in September by her, and I left feeling amazing! Unfortunately, as a standard in Vancouver, it was a little pricey. Fortunately, she is SO amazing that my dye job looks so natural that it is growing out gloriously, and I don't even feel the need to get it dyed ever again! I have some horror stories when it comes to hairdressers. Jenny always takes my preferences into consideration, and makes everything better again! Best of all... THE HEAD MASSAGES! I always try to not look like a possessed doll when I get these head massages, but I'm sure I look ridiculous. Whatever though, they're stupendous! The music was good, the people were kind, and the product was lovely! If you want to treat yourself to a fun day getting pampered, go here! read more

Preston is a God! I have been is client for over 13 years. He's wonderful and so talented. I have long blonde hair and it's gorgeous. Always. read more

Union Salon is a fantastic hair salon on Granville Street. It's nestled in next to Second Look Consignment between W 15th and W 16th Ave. When you walk in, it has a bright, clean, modern look. After you check in with the receptionist, you're taken downstairs where you can hang up your coat and change into a robe (this is very similar to Aveda and Eveline Charles salons). I was also offered coffee, tea, or water twice, so the staff are definitely on top of things My hairstylist, Paige, was super fantastic! Before my haircut, we had a conversation and she made sure she knew exactly what I wanted (and didn't want) done with my hair. The entire experience was great. I felt bad because my hair is super thick and was in bad shape from not getting a haircut in months, but Paige did a great job with it. It's hard to find a stylist that knows how to handle thick hair, and I'm glad I found one! I also appreciated how she asked my opinion on how I wanted my hair styled at the end. Most stylists kind of do what they want, and I was really excited to get a nice blowout that gave my hair lots of volume. Overall, I had a great experience at Union Salon. It reminds me a lot of Aveda salons, but with a friendlier atmosphere. I will definitely be going back. read more

After losing my fabulous cutter of 25 years to a career change, I was lost trying to find the right person for my short bob hair. I found Yvonne at Union 6 weeks ago. She is an experienced stylist who worked in London for many years. She is no-nonsense with mad skills. I trusted her to lowlite, hilight and cut my hair. Am I ever glad I did! Best colour I've ever had. People stop me in the street to ask about it. It is so natural, but stunning, using my natural grey streaks to their greatest advantage. With the beautiful precision cut, my face is perfectly framed and younger looking. And it's dead sexy. Can't recommend Yvonne highly enough. Add the environmentally conscious salon that recycles EVERYTHING and it's over the top. read more

I have followed Chris around from his early years as a stylist in Vancouver. An amazing stylist, fantastic colourist and always a lovely person to chat with. I always leave Chris' chair feeling awesome and sexy with a fantastic cut and colour. An excellent salon, light bright and lovely, all the staff are great. read more

Union hair salon is amazing. All of the staff are very well trained and take a long time and extra care with your hair to make sure you leave happy. Yes it is a little expensive, and yes you'll be there for a while...but if you wanna look good it's all worth it. read more

My hair is difficult. I have the kind of hair that wants to curl in the morning and be straight later on or vice versa. It is independent and will go where it wants despite my best efforts. Each hair is fine and flyaway but there are a lot of them, so it gets thick and heavy. It is difficult to find anyone who can give me a good cut. Usually, it looks fine when I walk out of the salon, but within a day, it reverts to chaos. Before my first trip to NY City, I did a lot of research to find someone who could cut and colour my hair. I visited several salons until I found Chris. He understood that I did not want to cover my grey and be "younger looking", instead he worked with my natural grey streaks to enhance their effect -- I had a dramatic hair cut that I could change into several different looks. I received a lot of compliments in NY on my cool style. When I returned to Mine style source, I was sad to find it closed -- but after a few tries with less accomplished stylists, and the usual unsatisfactory results -- I found Chris again at Union. I am completely happy with the cut and style a couple of weeks later. It is effortless to style and always looks like it is supposed to be that way -- straight or curly or in between as it morphs from another humidity change. I feel my cut is age appropriate. It doesn't look like I am trying to stay with the latest trends, but I have a modern cut that suits me and shows off my silver grey to the best possible advantage. I ride a motorcycle and my helmet squashes my hair completely. This cut survives the crush and with a slight fluff, looks great again. Thank you Chris for the great work! read more

I've been seeing Chris for about 3 years now and have gone through a multitude of hair changes in that time! He is a master at coloring - I've gone from jet black to fiery gorgeous red...and now back to a softer brown/blonde. Not to mention all the cuts from bangs, cute bobs, and pixies. I chose him to be my stylist for my wedding hair (big messy french romantic up-do) and could not have been more pleased with his work. He also did all of my bridesmaids hair... it was incredible. He is caring and makes you feel very comfortable. Best of all he is passionate about the work he does. The new location on Granville is friendly and cool. Chris is young, modern and very creative! read more

@amberbeckjordhair took me from long, tangled, damaged hair to a short silver balayage beautifully!!! Highly recommend :)

I guess this will be another review praising Chris... ooooh well. He is amazing, adorable, knows hair and how to treat people. My wife and I both got our hairs did this weekend. So good. Such a great salon too. I think it's pricier than a lot of other ones but not too too bad.. I have definitely found my new stylist. The experience made me float. read more

I had a horrible experience. Would never return. I was very much looking forward to booking an appointment at this salon because of all the great reviews, so I was very happy when I was able to get a time that worked. My experience was not good from the start. When I entered, I was told to wait, which was fine, but I wasn't offered coffee/tea or even water. I waited for about 10 minutes then was greeted by my stylist. She asked me what I wanted and I clearly explained I wanted to take minimal length off because I am growing my hair for my wedding and that I only wanted some longer layers that started at my chin and went gradually longer from there - just to frame my face and add some volume in the front. She conveyed that she understood, so we went to wash my hair. There was no scalp massage at all, which was extremely disappointing because that is what I look forward to and normally receive even at cheaper salons. Then she started cutting my hair. It seemed to be going fine until she got to the "long layers" I requested. She asked how long and I pointed to around/below my jawline. She said "sure we'll cut them longer and go shorter if we need to". That sounded promising but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Her first cut was already above my jawline, and then without even asking me if I wanted the front layers any shorter, she kept cutting, and cutting, and cutting! Now, I have THICK bangs that are above my cheekbones. I noticed too late, and I tried to fix what happened by asking her to add some more layers in the front so the look wasnt so blunt but it just got worse. She added gradual layers to the middle of my head and left the front pieces long. By the time she was done cutting, it looked like a mullet - I thought it would look better once she dried my hair, but I was wrong. While she was drying my hair, she hit my head with the blowdryer and didn't apologize. Once the hair was all dry, it was very obvious the bangs she created were uneven so I asked her to even them out. Normally, a stylist takes the minimum amount off to even things out. That wasnt the case here - she took off at least another centimeter. I also asked her to thin out the bangs because they were so thick - she did so but it didnt help. She then proceeded to tell me I had a lot of hair, which I thought was a compliment but I was apparently wrong because she then took thinning out shears and thinned out all of my hair WITHOUT ASKING ME! That was absolutely insane especially since I told her I was growing out my hair for my wedding. I was completely dead inside looking at the final result, I couldn't believe what she had done to my hair. I came in for a little sprucing up. Instead, it actually looks like a mullet, layers are popping out from random spots, I have extremely thick bangs that I never asked for, and Im missing half my hair. My wedding is approaching and my hair grows very slowly anyway, so now I don't know what to do. I am so disappointed by the service I received, I cant imagine it getting much worse than this. read more

I started going to Mine last year and I absolutely love it. They have all the amenities and products of a high-end salon but none of the pretension. I always feel very comfortable there, and the staff are very friendly and seem to genuinely like working with each other. I always see Jennifer and she consistently does a great job. She listens to my concerns and then gives me something better than I could have envisioned. Whenever she gives me a new style she makes sure I understand how to care for it at home and gives me lots of nice and easy styling tips. Plus she's really easy to chat with! I would recommend her and Mine Style Source to anyone! read more

Chris is an amazing hair stylist! If you're going to Union (formerly "Mine" and "Gloss") then you HAVE to see him! I've got very fine, curly hair that is pretty damaged from neglect and bad straightening irons, but today my hair feels like silk after seeing Chris yesterday. I've always been nervous about dying my hair (I'm blonde), but Chris is so knowledgeable and reassuring that I decided to let him put high lights in my hair (for the first time in my life!) and it looks incredible. I've had about 30 compliments this morning at work - everyone just keeps saying over and over how perfect the colour is and that it looks so natural. I love Chris (he's a really personable guy and super sweet) and I love what he does with hair (I was recommended to him by a friend of mine who I always admired for her fantastic hair - now I know her secret, lol). If you want highlights, or a cut, or even just a style (he handles a blow dryer like no other!), I really hope you do yourself a huge favour and see Chris; he'll make you look better than ever! -Jenn read more

I had the absolute best experience today at Union. My beautiful and very talented stylist made me feel super comfortable and welcome. Everyone there was extremely friendly !! I honestly do not remember how long it has been since I was this happy with the outcome of my hair. The cut and the color was exactly what I was looking for and could not have turned out better. Madison has definitely gained a repeat client ! I can't wait to go back. read more

The salon is easy to get to on granville, you can always find parking in the side streets to avoid meter parking. I come in to see Kelli for color and cuts. She is great, I always look forward to my appointments. She has an awesome personality and always makes you feel comfortable. She always has great ideas/suggestions and recommends products that help with styling. On top of everything, she works on weekends which is great for my schedule. I agree with the comment below about the scalp massages! They are so amazing, I could fall asleep. Definately go in and visit her! read more

After reading reviews on Yelp, I got an appointment with Chris as I had been frustrated spending money on average cuts at other salons with stylists that were not up to par. Not only is chris talented and passionate about what he does, he did a fantastic cut and really got what I was after with minimal input from me. He is a natural artist without being over-the-top and I love what he has done with my hair. I will be back and highly recommend this salon - the experience is worth what you pay. read more

Come to Union Salon for the amazing full salon experience you deserve. The relaxing, yet trendy, environment is filled with a plethora of welcoming, friendly staff. I was immediately greeted at the door and offered coffee, tea, water...they are here to make you happy from start to finish. My stylist was efficient, did my foil highlights faster than ever. I was treated to a lovely scalp massage with my shampoo and condition. The colour is amazing, even beyond my expectation, which is high. And, the cut is truly fabulous. I honestly can't say enough great things about Union Salon. Treat yourself as summer's just around the corner! Make your appointment early so you won't be disappointed as the stylists' schedules fill up fast!! read more

I went to Union based on the numerous positive reviews and reputation of their experienced stylists. However, I feel as the newer/junior "talent" may potentially have a detrimental effect on the salons reputation. I would not normally bother writing a review, in fact this is my first ever online review. My junior stylist was highly unprofessional, seemingly placing more importance on gossiping with his colleagues instead of following what I had requested for in my very simple mens haircut. I showed the stylist photos of a haircut I had 4 weeks earlier and requested an exact duplicate, explicitly stating what I wanted and DIDN'T want. Unfortunately my stylist lost focus during his constant chin-wagging and delivered a VERY disappointing haircut not even close what I had asked for. Although I would speak highly of the salon in general regarding ambiance and customer service, I would advise you to choose your stylist carefully.

I was in desperate need of an amazing hair stylist since moving to Vancouver. I'm as picky as it gets with my hair and after reading the reviews on Chris I had some faith that I might of found someone I could trust. I'm so happy to say that he deserves all the praise he gets, not only is he the amazing hair stylist that I needed, he's also the best kind of human there is! I felt like a rockstar leaving Union after getting a dramatic haircut (I had really really long hair and got a short bob) and colour with multiple shades of blonde perfection. I will be loyal to him for as long as he will be in the Bizz! Long live Chris! read more

I recently went to this salon after seeing hairstylist Kelli on Global TV news doing a makeover and thought she did a wonderful job. So, I booked and was not disappointed. When you arrive, the receptionists are smiling & friendly and are quick to ask if you would like anything to drink, making you feel right at home. There is an upstairs and a downstairs which is where I went and it was a bit darker... When meeting Kelli she was very friendly & personable. I liked that she asked a lot of questions about my hair ie: what do I like about my hair, what don't Iike, and what would I want to change, how do I normally wear it etc. Overall, I think she did a fabulous job on the cut & color and was very reasonable on the price! I am definitely going to see her again! The only thing bad about this place is that there is NO parking (hence the 4 stars instead of 5)! You have to arrive early and luck of the draw you will find parking. And if you are on the street and park after the sign says no parking, you WILL be towed! Thank you to Kelly for setting her timer for me to not forget about my car! Yes, this was a wonderful little find. read more

Chris gave me one of the worst and most damaging hair colours of my life. Even after I informed him my hair is porous and from past experience can not tolerate even light bleach, he proceeded to do as he pleased. The result was that the simple one step lighter I requested in highlights, turned into four steps lighter than my hair and it was so harsh my hair was completely cinged and broke off. Not only was his treatment terribly damaging, he did nothing even in the ball park of what I was going for. It will take a year to grow out and repair. Stay way from this stylist who has no ability to listen. read more

I walked into Union Salon looking for a cut with full highlights and was really lucky to get slotted in that day. (My previous stylist had recently moved). I was booked with Amber, a young, and as it turns out an extremely talented stylist/colourist. It's not often that you strike gold like this walking into a salon! First she took the time to do a "true" full foil--not the 3/4 job, I had become accustomed to with half the back left sloppily done. The colour was perfection. Next came the spot on, perfect bob that she gave me. I have been getting bobs for over a decade now and this one was really well done. I got two compliments on my hair when I went shopping in the hood after, too! I was absolutely thrilled with the whole experience and the outcome. I have a new stylist! I HIGHLY recommend Amber from Union. Oh and the shop has a really nice vibe to it as well! PS: Free 2 hour parking on the side streets if you can score a spot. read more

So happy and relieved to have found these folks! Chris fixed my weird mom layers. He understands wavy hair and keeps it all super simple. He didn't try to sell me stuff I don't need. So happy to have found a hair dresser that is an expert...and is also down to earth. It is not a cheap cut, but it is worth it! read more

i've been seeing Chris for the past 4-5 visits . I went for consult and he told me my hair was not healthy for highlight at the time . so he did root touch up and cut/trim for a while till my hair was healthy enough for highlight and gave me a beautiful ash (NO Red/Orange) tone on my last visit. i've got many compliments about my hair colour and very happy to switch salons . Chris is talented and funny and always has great stories to tell :) read more

I just saw Broc here and got my first really great cut in a while. Very happy with it and the general vibe. Convenient location, reasonably priced and, while the service is great, they're not trying too hard. Nice, relaxed and great cut - will definitely be back! read more

I was so excited to try Union Salon because of all of the rave reviews I saw and heard however, it was very disappointing. I wanted an Ombre and a cut done to my black/brown hair that would just add some jazz to my boring hair. Rather than blending my ombre to a lighter golden blonde color, it just goes from stark dark to really light. There is no gradient effect at all. It just looks like my hair has been dip-dyed rather than an ombre effect. Also, my ombre starts at my ears which I had mentioned that i don't want light hair until my chin. I paid for a cut as well, which all she did was trim the layers; she didn't even take any of the length off even though it was feeling so dry. She just said that it wasn't required. I will definitely not be visiting again. read more

Andrea Simpson was the name I was given from the hair professional on the production I was working on. I made an appt with Andrea and was welcomed into a lovely, bright, airy and modern style salon where I was asked 2 or 3 times If I would like anything - coffee, tea, water. My previous stylist must have thought I asked him to color my hair, bright Orange, Red, Yellow and White instead of the blonde hi and low lights I believed I was asking for. I was ashamed of the way I looked for the two weeks (I was embarrassed b/c I looked like some kind of a clown) and Andrea took one look at me and nodded her head. Once I pointed at her own hair color she went to work immediately to fix the, "Problem." With the consulting assistance of a Wella Instructor, I was thrilled enough with my results of my color correction and cut so much, that I couldn't wipe the happy smile off my face. It was especially hard to keep the tears of appreciation and gratitude out of my eyes! I will ABSOLUTELY be a regular customer - Andrea Simpson, I can't thank you enough - I never expected magic, but you gave it to me anyway - Thank You! What you did for me was FABULOUS beyond words! read more
