This was the BEST curly haircut I’ve ever had. Having had some terrible hair cuts in the past, I hadn’t cut my hair in over a year after a bout of experimenting with Brazilian keratin treatments and bleaching. I was also travelling across Canada for the first time, googling to no end to find a hair salon that felt inclusive, accessible and had good vibes. THIS PLACE IS ALL OF THAT AND MORE. As you can see from my photos my hair was hella damaged, dry and just a lil tired looking from Dr Bronner soap shampoo situation because I gave up trying to figure out what to use. Cyan one of two power-women owners of this wonderful salon. She was warm and welcoming, greeting me at the entrance of the salon and proceeded to ask about my hair history, my style preferences and gave a thorough diagnosis of what would work best for my needs and life style. THE BEST PART aside from the absolute revival of a cut/treatment my hair had (my CURLS were absolutely resuscitated) was that she explained every step of the way what was happening and WHY. I especially appreciated this because of how difficult it can be to find information about curl care (esp in Japan). I felt like I had a masterclass in how to understand my hair better without having products being pedaled in the process 💛 another thing that made this exceptional was the speed - in previous cuts I felt like I had to sit for 3-4hrs because it was curly which took up half the day but Cyan’s did the dry cut, treatment and styling felt like a SWAT team-level kind of rescue. As an aside the booking process was SO INCREDIBLY SMOOTH. It was so nice to have the booking process digitized with follow up emails and reminders so it was locked in for both parties. I had tried booking some others and found myself emailing, calling, instagramming to no avail. Big kudos to the great webdesign (also done by the cofounder) and UI/UX experience for customers - such a relief! Just like the name, the aura in the salon was warm and inviting - b

Sherrie was very patient with all my questions and concerns, and she guided me on how to handle my curls. Warm ambiance and clean setting, would recommend.

I had and appointment with Sherrie and I really liked it. It took me a while to find a place specialized in curly hair, but I went in and did not regret it. She didn’t put any pressure on me to have a complex routine or to use some professional products, which was really appreciated. They are also really honest, as I booked the deluxe hair appointment and I ended up not needing it, so she adjusted the price!

If you’re considered booking an appointment at Aura, just do it. I have type 4 hair and my straight cut with Sherrie has completely changed my relationship to my hair. After too long of doing my own trims, I was so fed up with my hair shape that I considered shaving it off, but booked Sherrie on a whim instead. She came highly recommended online for curly hair stylists in Montreal. The cut did not disappoint, my hair has never felt this full or looked as effortlessly good, ever. Sherrie was easy to talk to, receptive and very, very good at what she does. Can’t wait for my next visit, and looking forward to maintaining this gorgeous cut.

Just had my first-ever curly cut with Sherrie and I was amazed by the entire experience! Every little detail from the haircut to the salon itself was considered, and I appreciated all the thought and care that went into making the salon what it is. If you are like me and care a lot about hair health and embracing your natural texture, this is the place to go. Can't wait to come back!

I had a wonderful experience with Cyan. She really listened to my needs and took the time to understand my hair history and what I was looking for now. She was very thorough and educational in her explanations. When I lifted my head after the drying process, I finally saw my curls again—just like I remembered them from decades ago: defined, hydrated, voluminous, and frizz-free. I'm very happy with my new routine, which fits well with my lifestyle. I’ve been receiving so many compliments on my new haircut, which is perfectly suited to my curls.

I'm really impressed with Sherrie's work. I saw her for the first time in 2020, and I came back to her because she's simply the best. She really took the time to answer to all my questions. Also, the chairs are really comfortable, and it's the first time my neck didn't hurt after my hair being washed. Thank you Sherrie for your amazing work!

First time here. My curls really needed a refresh as I haven’t had my hair cut in way too long! I am in love with the results! Thank you so much, Sherrie for your kindness and expertise!

First time ever getting a curly hair cut and it was AMAZING! Did quite a bit of research before choosing the salon I wanted for my first trim. A lot of other top curly salons in Montreal seemed really focused on pushing their line of curly hair products, especially during the consultation, something I wasn’t too keen on. The reviews also noted them to be a little noisy as well and not very time sensitive for their customers. Aura Beauty stood out though as a prime contender due to their reviews, no pushiness, 2 co-owners who were both extremely experienced and the ones doing the hair cuts, and overall salon policies and inclusivity. I was very impressed and very happy I chose this salon! I have never had a cut looking this great and I received some wonderful tips that equally saves me money, and helped steer me towards different techniques I should use at home. My salon-ist was Cyan. However I’m sure Sherrie is also extremely fantastic, as they’ve both trained and worked together for years. I look forward to coming again!
