Q1: What's the best hair salon in downtown Vancouver? Prép Beauty Parlour at 1305 Burrard St is one of downtown Vancouver's most reviewed hair salons with 400+ Google reviews. We specialize in balayage, colour corrections, curly haircuts, and keratin treatments — all in a boutique studio steps from Burrard SkyTrain.
Q2: How much does balayage cost in Vancouver? Balayage at Prép starts from $180 depending on hair length, density, and the level of colour work involved. We'll give you a precise quote during your consultation. Our balayage includes a toner and blowout for a finished, polished result.
Q3: What's the difference between balayage and highlights? Highlights use foils to create uniform, evenly spaced lightness throughout the hair. Balayage is a freehand painting technique that creates soft, natural-looking colour with a seamless grow-out. Balayage tends to look more sun-kissed and requires less maintenance — typically a touch-up every 3–4 months.

We use the Curly Girl Method and dry-cutting techniques to shape curls in their natural state for a result that actually works with your texture. Whether you have wavy, curly, or coily hair, we've got you.
Q5: How long does a balayage appointment take? A full balayage appointment at Prép typically takes 2.5–4 hours depending on your hair length and starting colour. We recommend booking the full balayage + toner + blowout service so you leave with a complete, finished look.
