## Award-Winning. Recognized. Trusted.

Pura Vida Color Studio is a multi-year winner of Best Salon in Washtenaw County — Current Magazine Best of Washtenaw — and was recognized again in 2025.

Our stylists consistently rank among the best in the county. Courtney Monroe has been voted Best Hairstylist in Washtenaw County four times — 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025. In 2025, Pura Vida swept the top two spots in that same category: Courtney Monroe took 1st place and Raine Reggans earned 2nd place — two stylists from the same salon, standing at the top of Washtenaw County.

As co-owner, Raine has built Pura Vida into a salon that consistently ranks at the top of Washtenaw County — and continues to compete at that level behind the chair herself.

Our team includes [Board Certified Haircolorists](https://www.boardofcertifiedhaircolorists.com/online-directory) — and every stylist completes a structured in-salon training program before working with guests independently.
