Our team includes Board Certified Haircolorists (BCH) — a credential earned through rigorous written and practical exams covering advanced color theory, formulation, and correction. Every stylist on our team also completes a structured in-salon training program led by Raine before working with guests independently — so the BCH standard extends to every chair in the salon. We have been recognized as a multi-year winner of Best Salon in Washtenaw County by Current Magazine readers, and recognized again in 2025. We are an exclusive Davines Partner Salon and a Green Circle certified sustainable salon. And every appointment — for every guest — begins with a thorough consultation before any color starts." } }, { "name": "What is low-maintenance color?", "acceptedAnswer": { "text": "Low-maintenance color is designed to look great as it grows — not just the day you leave. Techniques like balayage and gray blending are placed strategically so there's no hard line of demarcation, giving you longer intervals between visits." } }, { "name": "What's the difference between gray blending and gray coverage?", "acceptedAnswer": { "text": "Gray blending softens the appearance of gray without covering it completely — it creates a natural, dimensional look. Gray coverage provides full, consistent coverage for guests who prefer a polished, even result. Both are designed to support long-term hair health." } }, { "name": "Can I keep some of my silver hair?", "acceptedAnswer": { "text": "Absolutely. Many of our guests are embracing their silver. Gray blending allows you to incorporate your natural gray into your overall look — creating dimension, softness, and a modern result that evolves with you." } }, { "name": "How do you protect hair health during color services?", "acceptedAnswer": { "text": "We assess tone, texture, and integrity before recommending any service. Every color plan is designed with your hair's long-term health in mind — not just the immediate result. We use professional-grade, sustainably sourced products and prioritize techniques that minimize damage." } }, { "name": "Where is Pura Vida located?", "acceptedAnswer": { "text": "Pura Vida Color Studio Hair Salon is located at 207 S 4th Ave in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan.

I came in to get the Cezanne treatment to get rid of frizz and make my hair easier to style, and it completely exceeded my expectations! My hair now feels incredibly soft, manageable, and I can style it in minutes. The customer service was a 10/10 — Emelia was the one who applied the treatment, and she is so kind and professional. I will definitely be coming back to this salon, I loved the service. Highly recommended!"
