Before & After
Brenda N.

I am absolutely thrilled and happy beyond belief with my hair! It's been 10 years since I've had anyone do my hair so I was really nervous. Dawn was very warm and welcoming. Dawn was a joy to chat with and really made me feel at ease! I liked that she explained each step of the process and answered all of my questions. I liked that I felt attended to during my appointment. She wasn't busy with other clients or doing other things. My appointment was her focus and I appreciated that. When it was time to take the rollers out, I was so nervous. I looked up and tears came to my eyes. Dawn gave me exactly what I wanted. The precise curl pattern and hair cut that I asked her for! I am so happy and everyone loves my hair. I feel great! Thank you Dawn!! Additionally, she gave me instructions and recommendations on how to care for my new perm. Have I mentioned how happy I am?? . The shop is clean and cute too!

Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved curls. My hair is so straight and for years I have been curling it or creating waves. No body has ever seen my natural hair. I knew it was time for a change, so I researched perm stylist in the area. I came across Dawns before and after pics and fell in love. I knew I had to go to her and definitely made the right choice. Dawn gave me the most beautiful curls, which has brought me so much happiness and fulfillment. Her abilities came so naturally and she made me feel so secure in what she was doing. I trust her 100% with my hair. This hairstyle has literally changed my life, because she did such an amazing job.

I'm so happy with what Dawn did with my hair. I had a perm done and it looks great and very modern! I would definitely go to her again.

She got me in very quickly for a consultation and could tell what went wrong with the fallen out perm.

Hair Magic in the Pearl District! If you are looking for a…read moresalon that perfectly captures that effortless, cool Portland aesthetic while delivering high-end, professional results, Carbon Salon is the absolute gold standard. Located in the Pearl District, this space is sleek, industrial-chic, and home to some of the most talented stylists in the Pacific Northwest. Here is why Carbon Salon is my forever go-to: The Atmosphere: The salon itself is stunning--think high ceilings, exposed brick, and a modern, minimalist vibe that feels luxurious but never pretentious. It's the kind of place where you can truly relax and feel pampered from the moment you walk in. The Consultation: My stylist took the time to actually listen to what I wanted. They didn't just look at my inspo photos; they checked my hair texture, discussed my daily routine, and helped me choose a cut and color that would actually work for my lifestyle. Masterful Color: I went in for a lived-in balayage, and the results were flawless. The blending is so seamless that it grows out beautifully without any harsh lines. They are clearly experts in "low-maintenance luxury" hair. The "Little Things": The head massage during the shampoo was life-changing, and the high-quality products they use (like Oribe and R+Co) left my hair feeling healthier than when I walked in. Plus, the coffee/beverage selection is a lovely touch! Professional & Kind Staff: Every person on the team is welcoming and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can tell the stylists there are constantly leveling up their skills and stay on top of the latest trends. Pro Tip: This salon is extremely popular, so definitely book a few weeks in advance. If you're looking for a total transformation or just a high-quality trim that actually holds its shape, this is the place. I walked out feeling like a million bucks. Thank you, Carbon Salon, for always nailing the vision!

I get individual keratin bind extensions and I also did a balayage with him recently! He does such an amazing job and I'm always in love with the finished look.

She gave me a curly cut and charged me nearly $120. - I have wavy hair but sometimes straighten it - the layers in the back ended in the middle of my head and I couldn't straighten it for 6 months because it looked awful - it wouldn't lay flat and had a huge dip towards the bottom. It looked insane. - She cut so much from underneath my hair looked stringy on all sides when wavy and uneven on the sides if straightened. - Front layers around my face were completely uneven - I went to a different stylist and she pointed out everything she still couldn't fix and how the front "blending" wasn't blended, and showed where I had pieces that were still very short on one side and longer on another. After 6 months of growing it out. I work in a professional environment and got feedback from my manager that I should "spring for a decent haircut" after she cut my hair. This wasn't inexpensive at all. Emily seemed distracted and had mentioned that she relocated from a different salon in the city and hadn't brought any clients along with her. She is a nice lady but it is not professional, honest and borders on unethical for her to present herself as an experienced, seasoned professional and charge a rate appropriate for that skill level only to start the appointment late and completely ruin my hair for the better part of a year.

I lost a good amount of hair the last couple of years due to some surgeries and then going on HRT (hormones). It was starting to bum me out and my colorist recommended Kristina. I'm so elated that she did! My hair feels and looks like it did before the stressful couple of years happened, and I feel like myself again with a little bit of extra umph because the extensions are making my hair feel even healthier. She matched my color to a T as well as the waves I have in my hair. I'm stoked on that because then I don't have to style it often... I can just let it air dry and it's exactly like my real hair! I didn't want extensions that looked like extensions and she did an incredible job. She's also super sweet and wonderful to chat with. Highly highly recommend her!!

I had to take a moment to rave about Kristina at Before Midnight Hair - she's a true hair wizard…read more Watching Kristina work was like seeing an artist with her favorite canvas. She matched the extensions to my hair color and texture so well, I can barely tell where my hair ends and the extensions begin. What I appreciated most was the aftercare tips Kristina gave me - they were super practical and easy to follow. It's clear she doesn't just do this for a living; she does it because she loves it, and that passion shines through in her work. If you're on the fence about where to go for extensions, look no further.
