Our Story

A community grounded in kindness, integrity, and creativity.

Our Philosophy

Pura Vida Means “Pure Life”

In Spanish, “Pura Vida” is more than a phrase. It is a way of seeing the world, a reminder to appreciate the good and find joy in everyday moments. That spirit sits at the heart of everything we do.

Our name reflects the salon's philosophy: building a community that empowers each other to have strong relationships for a pure life. Pura Vida is more than just a salon. It is a gathering place for creative professionals who share a passion for their craft and genuine care for their clients.

The Space

Pura Vida Salon and Spa is located at 131 North Main Street in the heart of historic downtown Livingston, Montana. Livingston sits at the doorstep of Yellowstone National Park and the Paradise Valley, surrounded by mountain views and the kind of quiet beauty that drew many of us here in the first place.

Step inside and you will find a cozy, modern atmosphere that our clients love. Reviewers often mention how welcoming the space feels, from the warm lighting to the relaxed energy that fills every corner. Whether you are coming in for a full color transformation or a quick trim, Pura Vida is designed to be a place where you can slow down and enjoy the experience.
