Story of Zazou

Welcome to Zazou Salon and Academy

Where beauty, education, community, and sustainability come together

At Zazou, we pride ourselves on setting the standard for exceptional experience and offering the very best products a salon can provide- and having fun while doing it! 🎉

Our goal is simple: we want every guest to leave feeling truly cared for


Education Is Our Foundation

We truly believe that education is the cornerstone of our success. Through ongoing learning and innovative programs like our Advanced Academy, we empower our team to grow, evolve, and reach their full potential. At Zazou, the possibilities are endless, for our team and our guests alike


Community Focused. Globally Minded.

Zazou is proud to be the first Carbon Neutral Salon in Metro Vancouver
Sustainability isn’t a trend for us — it’s a responsibility.

We partner with environmentally conscious brands such as La Biosthétique and Davines, along with incredible

organizations like Blue Dot and Vish Hair Colour Software. Together, we reduce our waste by 97%, keeping it out of landfills and protecting our precious streams and land

So far we have contributed to replanting 10,382 trees across Canada!

North Shore Reader's Choice Awards


A Legacy Since 1992

Founded in 1992, Zazou Salon and Academy has been recognized both locally and nationally for:

  • North Shore Reader’s Choice Award Winner for Favourite Hair Salon 9 years in a row
  • North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce Local Leader Awards 
  • Phorest Client Experience Award Winner 2020, 2025 
  • Contessa National Hairstyling Awards semi-finalist, finalist

From the beginning, Zazou was meant to be more than a place to get your hair done. Bruce Peters- owner and stylist- wanted it to feel like a reset: somewhere you could step away from your day, take a breath, and actually enjoy being there.

As the Zazou community grew, so did the space. In 2008, Zazou expanded from its original 375 sq. ft. into a 2,200 sq. ft. salon, and eventually into two locations, each designed with the same intention: to feel like a real escape from the everyday.

A place to rest, reset, laugh, and celebrate.

More Than Hair

Your Zazou experience is defined by:

  • Exceptional customer experience
  • Positive community impact
  • Education in care and confidence, inside and out 

Services we offer

Though we are a hair salon, we offer more than just haircuts and colour services:

  • We offer fringe trims and hairline clean-ups trimming appointments in-between haircuts
  • Treatments can be booked without a haircut or colour service. They do require a blowdry appointment, so please book a shampoo and blowdry along with your treatment.

We are here to help in any way we can. From quick fixes, to full services and anything in-between. Book a complimentary consultation and one our of stylists can help you get closer to your hair goals!


You Belong Here

We would not be where we are without the support of our community, and we believe it’s our responsibility to help elevate our industry together.

At Zazou, you’re not just a guest, you’re part of something bigger.
