After: perfect natural-looking red!
Jill G.

Meghan Murphy (@meghanmurphypdx) is an absolute hair genius! I came to her wanting to shift my natural blonde to a natural-looking red. I was so nervous because it's a big change. She took the time to have me come in for a consult before my main appointment, and she made sure she understood what I was looking for and literally stayed up at night thinking about how to make it happen! During my appointment she taught me so much about her color work and how to style and keep my hair healthy - and made sure I was happy with the change throughout. She's a true artist and professional, and gained my full trust and confidence. Red is such a hard color, and she matched it to my coloring perfectly -- even created a custom dye for my brows and gave them a wax too! Truly amazing. I couldn't ask for anything more or recommend her more highly!! Also -- her COVID protocols were on point!

Botched Blonde - Meghan Murphy Let's start at the beginning. A professional stylist should of set the stage, expectation, and cost. I had been going to Meghan for over 2 years, with no complaints- she covered my grays beautifully - and is long time acquaintance, and past co-worker. So the familiarity and trust was built, and was taken for granted. I requested to start the transition to blonde- I went in expecting balayage, foils, and root coverage.... maybe a 2 1/2 hours - longer than my typical hour appointment. The pictures attached tell the story... that 1st appointment was over 5 hours, and had the receptionist or Meghan communicated that in advance it would of most certainly raised questions. ..Fast forward to the appointment- the service +a $28 product and tip= $446 (yes, I tipped -as I had to leave with wet hair and did not see the extent of incompetence) I reached out to my stylist to inform them of the yellow/orange brassy tones, dark chunks, and stripes-asking for an correction appointment...that's when things went from bad to horrific. Meghan asked peers and management for guidance- and then ignored what they said- the result-My hair turned GREEN, again the photo doesn't do it justice-her words there are "mossy tones" as she used baking soda and stripping shampoo. I was horrified and she was apologetic- trying my best to be gracious I requested a group chat with ownership and Meghan to find out how/who could fix this and make it right- one owner informed me that - one of the two of them would be at my next appointment. Unfortunately that didn't happen, however I was assured that what was needed to fix it my hair was discussed. She then used a sulfur smelling stripping treatment in hopes of removing all the green - and a covered with a toner-and I now have orange hair- like sun in 80's orange with only hints of green. I expected at the very least, when clearly lacking talent/skill she would be humble enough to take the advice and guidance from those who are capable. A call to ownership resulted in $214 of my hard earned money being refunded... I actually had to ask, and was not given a full refund -that's ridiculous. The final blow was the attached meme Meghan posted and then an owner liked it - during this hair trauma!! . (The last snarky post on her professional page was 2017) so quite naturally I took offense- or perhaps I'm not her only victim of zero accountability This is the final straw and the catalyst to the public review a complete lack of compassion, accountability, and skill. 6+ inches of damaged hair had to cut:(

Meghan Murphy is the hair whisper!

Meghan Murphy is the hair whisper! She's been cutting my hair since 2015. From long to short and back again; I've had so many excellent cuts from her! She is knowledgeable, highly skilled and takes the time to really understand what I want. She's taught me so much about working through all the details of my hair including styling, products and care. I especially appreciate her commitment ensuring I leave the salon with hair I love, every time.

Before coming to Auric Salon, I was afraid of having my hair cut or dyed. The last time I'd trusted someone with my hair was 5 years ago in Eugene, and the stylist destroyed my hair. Fast forward 5 years and I was referred to Auric Salon by a friend. I reached out to Drew and she reassured me of her work and has such a charismatic personality that makes you feel comfortable. So I took a leap of faith and let her balayage my hair. I'M SO GLAD I DID. I love my balayage and get compliments all the time. If you're ever looking for a stylist and salon- come here. You will not regret it! Drew is amazing at what she does!

This is what my hair looked like before.(Photo is off Ambrosia's ig)

Durring the time of my visit to Auric salon, I was experimenting with my hair color. I had this faded blue/green in my hair that wouldn't budge, and I wanted to go pink. At the time I was attending school in Eugene, and I would usually wait till I went back home to California to get my hair done. But graduation was approaching, my hair looked awful, and I didn't have the time to go back to California just for my hair. I don't trust many people to bleach and dye my hair, so I was willing to drive all the way up to Seattle if needed. Luckily I didn't have to drive that far. I found Ambrosia on IG and after seeing her work and going through a consultation I felt comfortable letting her do my hair. What I really appreciated during my consultation is that Ambrosia didn't make any empty promises. For those of you who don't know, getting greens and blues out of your hair, and transitioning to a color as light as pink is EXTREMELY difficult. So when I told her thats what I wanted to do she didn't just say "I can do that, no problem." She explained why it was difficult, and said she would try her best to get the previous color out, keep the integrity of my hair, and bleached it light enough to allow for a pink. She even came up with back up color options that I could be happy with if pink wasn't possible to accomplish. In the end Ambrosia put in a lot of time (I was there for over 6 hours) and managed to get me to the perfect color I wanted! Unfortunately I moved back to California after graduation, otherwise I would have continued to see Ambrosia for my hair. She's incredibly sweet, puts a lot of time and energy into her work, and goes above and beyond to make sure the costumer is satisfied. I can't recommend her enough, especially for fashion colors!

Latest color job!

Megan (@meghanmurphypdx) is insanely talented! I've have the pleasure of being her client for over three years. I go visit her about (2-3x per year) but every time I come with ideas that she exceeds my expectations. The salon is stunning, so professional and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Cut by Megan
Melissa T.

I recently moved here and finding a new stylist is always a stressful process. I am very happy to have found Megan here. She gave me a great textured bob that is chic, and perhaps the best cut I've had since chopping my locks. Megan always checked in with me on the length, keeping things a little long and trimming rather than going too short. She has a good sense of style and techniques for an assortment of hair types. Also, as a new customer, my normally $45 cut was $10 off. Such a great deal for a quality job. Highly recommend Megan! The salon is clean, modern, and hip. They also have a large wall of available hair products, which they use and explain while styling your hair. Note: I believe this salon was recently renamed to Auric Salon if you're looking on Google maps or their Instagram.

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've been coming to Carbon and seeing Aidan since 2022 and I love it! Aidan always takes care of me…read moreso well. 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. He just seems to always know what I want!

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!!

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.
