Our Story

A cornerstone of Yaletown style for three decades.

A hairstylist sprays hair of a seated woman during a haircut at a salon. Other clients and stylist in the background, salon with large windows and shelves of hair products.

Mai’s Story

Mai has spent 30 years behind the chair, building trust one client at a time. She’s Vancouver’s go-to for grey blending, blondes, and the toughest color corrections.

Her artistry, patience, and precision have earned a loyal following. Clients who’ve sat in her chair for decades and wouldn’t go anywhere else.

A woman is getting her hair styled at a salon by two stylists while a man is also getting his hair styled in the background. The salon has large windows, shelves with hair products, and plants.

The Team Energy

Zen Den isn’t just about one stylist — it’s about the atmosphere.

Surrounding Mai is a talented team of independent Vancouver hairstylists, each with their own specialty, personality, and creative flair. They bring the young, fun, and welcoming energy that makes our Vancouver hair salon feel alive.

Every appointment blends expertise with a great vibe: polished, professional results; down-to-earth conversations; and a space where people feel completely at home.
