    Justin did a wonderful job on my haircut and balayage! I highly recommend him and this place. He was very friendly, did a great job understanding what I wanted and how I style my hair, and really made the color match the photo I brought in! He clearly took a lot of time on my coloring and did not rush or cut any corners. I also thought the price was very reasonable for the value. The vibes of the salon are great- in a convenient spot in NW and they offered plenty of drink options and it was a very comfortable experience! Highly recommend and will definitely be going back!

    If you're looking for a salon in the Portland area, look no further! Carbon Salon is it! They have an efficient online reservation system allowing you to choose the service and stylist you prefer. After reading reviews, I went with Alan, and he delivered! As someone who gets her haircut once every 1.5 years, it's usually pretty dead and lifeless by the time I step into a salon. I went in for a trim and Alan suggested a deep conditioning treatment as my hair was a bit dry (go figure). I asked for a couple inches off with added layers and I was very pleased with the result! He was efficient, precise, and detailed. Alan made me feel comfortable, chatted a bit, and was perfectly fine being in silence (my introvert-ness was happy). Alan nailed it, and I can't wait to be back!

    I have been going to this hair salon for over 3 years. I trust June and James with my entire soul. June has been doing my color for over 3 years and I recently started getting hair extensions 6 months ago with James. I have done everything to my hair; bleached, toned, pastel rainbow colors etc they both can handle me and my hair. I have a blast everytime I am there. The vibes are good, the music is good, and most important James and June both give me the best hair ever. I trust these two wholeheartedly. James is so talented with hair extensions and color as well, my hair is blended perfect always. I found this salon as soon as I moved to Portland and will always be loyal! They only use the best products on your hair and also educate you on how to take care of your color/extensions etc. Please come and see them!

    Kevin outdid himself, once again! My color held up great from my last appt, so we just did a trim and style. We did a major chop last time and since I'm pregnant, I immediately regretted it and am growing my hair back out. LOL I have a lot of hair and I just wanted it to lay better while it grows. Kevin did exactly what I wanted. He kept the length and just added some texture and layers and it is perfect. 10/10. Will be going back!

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.

    I want to take a moment to share my extensions install experience at Thairapy PDX because it has…read moregenuinely been transformative for me, both physically and emotionally. First, Lyndsay, the owner, is truly something special. I came to her in real pain from poorly sized/placed bonds done elsewhere, feeling discouraged and honestly afraid to trust anyone with my hair again. Lyndsay stepped in with so much compassion, care, and expertise. She listened, validated my concerns, and fixed the issue with an incredible level of skill. The end result was the most comfortable and stunning set of Great Lengths extensions I've ever had. I have very challenging hair: texture issues, thin density at the ends, and persistent frizz. Lyndsay handled it with confidence and precision. She is a true expert, but what sets her apart even more is her heart. She's a woman's woman in the best way: deeply compassionate, invested in her clients, and clearly someone who treats her stylists with respect and care. Because of that trust, she thoughtfully transitioned me to Makayla, and I couldn't be more grateful. Makayla is an absolute gem. She has taken the time to really learn my hair, understand its challenges, and ensure that every appointment leaves me comfortable, pain-free, and happy. I come in for continuous blowouts (at least bi-weekly) and regular move-ups, and the consistency and professionalism I experience every single time speaks volumes. Makayla has an incredible way of making me feel seen and pretty. I don't fit the conventional beauty mold by any means, but I leave her chair feeling confident, cared for, and genuinely uplifted. That kind of experience doesn't happen by accident--it's clearly the result of strong mentorship, encouragement, and a healthy salon culture fostered by Lyndsay. I also want to gently address some of the mixed reviews I've seen online. As someone who frequents the salon regularly, I find many of those statements confusing and contradictory to everything I've personally witnessed. This is a dynamic, professional team that tackles challenges head-on and fixes issues when they arise. There is accountability here, and most importantly, a clear commitment to clients. Though I am in no means discrediting what someone else has experienced or felt, my experience has been nothing less than exemplary. If you're someone who has difficult hair, doesn't "fit the mold," or has been burned before and is scared to try again, I cannot encourage you enough to book a consultation. This salon is a place of support, trust, and real expertise. I love being here, I love these women, and I'm so grateful to have found a team that truly cares.

    I had been looking for a few weeks for someone to try to fix some major issues for me, from…read moreprevious services from elsewhere. I was new to extensions and the previous place had given me a single row of 4 sandwiched together in a hand-sewn weft. I have extremely fine hair and it was extremely damaged from (over/improper) bleaching. So I was having issues with slipping and breakage because the weft was too heavy and pulling. I had also wanted lavender hair, but got something that wasn't even close (still at the previous place). I found Thairapy's website and looked at all the hairdressers linked social media to see who I felt I could vibe with and get as close to what I wanted as possible. I felt like Aisha could achieve that. She had plenty of vibrant hair photos and videos, and her own hair is a vibrant. Plus, after reading her blurb on the website I felt like it wouldn't be a stressful appointment. I don't do well with change and I always dread the same "customer service" questions like, what do you do for fun? There was none of that stilted awkward exchange with Aisha. She was so chill and easy to chat with, but we also vibed without talking at all, her focusing on what she was doing and me just spazzing out She was straight up from the beginning about maybe not getting the light lavender that I had originally wanted. We discussed options, hair health, products and usage, we looked at pictures, and she even took the time to discuss options for my weft. It wasn't something I had booked for in the consultation (because I couldn't figure out on the website) but she could see my distress about them. I came in with one end sticking out of my hair (flipping) and they had slid a few inches after being installed a week before. Aisha offered to keep them until our appointment so she could clarify them and get them ready. She also explained and suggested that because my hair is so fine I should have 2 rows of 2 and come in every 4 weeks for move ups and re-installs. The day of the appointment Aisha was ready to go and her excitement was palpable, which fed into my excitement. I didn't have any expectations going in, other than making my hair presentable again. While I didn't get the color I originally wanted from the inspo pic I sent, we got so close, and honestly I think what she gave me fits my skin tone soooooooo much better!! She also did an amazing job on my weft, it's NEVER felt this good! It's so light on my head, even though it's the same amount of hair, and it feels much more balance rather than just slapped onto my head. She also gave me a cut that blends my real hair into the weft much better so I won't have to heat style it everyday just to hide my real hair texture. I'm so beyond happy with EVERYTHING that Aisha did for me!!! She saved my hair when I thought it was impossible, AND she made my fairy girl purple hair dreams come true! She's chill, easy to talk to, knowledgeable about her trade and honest! I'm so grateful that I booked with Aisha and will be recommending her to everyone who asks about my hair! 100/10 for Aisha at Thairapy.

I naturally have natural blonde roots and grays, both I love and wished my previous stylist embraced that versus always telling I HAD to dye it to cover it all up. :( I kept asking for a base bump but it never happened. I found Cristy on instagram & fell in love with her work (CristyJeanHair - check out her awesome gallery there). When I met Cristy for a consultation I told her my situation and how I am tired of dying my base. She totally agreed with me and knew exactly how to remedy the situation. She looked at my eye color and my skin tone and decided on exactly what blonde tones would be best for me. I should mention I had 4 months of growth at this point. So my natural roots were ALL out, baby! haha! I had a mess in the back as well with a hard copper band and only partial highlights. Ugh! It wasn't pretty. But Cristy cleaned all that up as well. I was so impressed with Cristy's professional knowledge. She is incredibly talented and yet incredibly humble and modest at the same time. She listens so well which is such an important trait to possess in a stylist. Even for my haircut I just told her I wanted a cleaning up dustying and NO razor. I like traditional layered cut since I have curly hair and that's exactly what she delivered. Yay! Cristy also told me she always booking more classes to further her education and continually hone her already mad skills. Love that!! Needless to say I am very happy with my cut and color We did a base bump with toner and it looks fantastic. Been wanting a base bump since I left LA 4 years ago. So happy to get back to that. Very very grateful to have found Cristy. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. :)

She truly cares about giving her clients a great experience, whether you're getting a fresh balayage, natural beaded row extensions, or a simple cut and color - she'll leave you looking & feeling like a queen! She has a passion for getting to know her client's stories and loves seeing their glowing confidence in not just how they look, but how they feel after leaving her chair. My Extensions Story: My natural hair is very fine and is extremely slow growing. I've always dreamed of having long, thick hair and after seeing Cristy's work on Instagram, I fell in love with the seamless look of natural beaded row extensions. I knew that getting extensions would be an investment, but my other concern was that I considered myself a low maintenance girl and questioned whether I was "fabulous enough" to rock the mermaid hair of my dreams. After a consultation, I decided to move forward, and I can confidently say that this was one of the best things I ever did for myself! My daily routine didn't provide a lot of time to style my hair in the mornings. My favorite thing about having extensions was the fact that I could roll out of bed and with minimal effort, head out the door with a fully styled look that took less than 10 mins to freshen up. Having extensions provided a confidence boost in my appearance, but I didn't realize that confidence would carry over to so many other areas of my life as well. I am so thankful I entrusted Cristy to make my hair dreams come true.
