She texted me, apologizing, so I went back. Huge mistake. I told her how important it was to me to keep growing out my hair and that I only wanted the bare minimum cut to keep it as long as possible and she cut several inches. Why did she do this? It's so upsetting. I just can't understand how this happened. I only wanted to clean up the dead ends. To add insult to injury, the price on Vagaro said $65 and she charged for a hundred. It's hard for me to stand up for myself and I just paid it without saying anything. This was the most expensive haircut of my life for a really bad experience. I deeply regret ever setting foot in that business. I'm so, so upset about my hair.

Short version: -Great location…read more-Super easy to get to and from on all modes of transit -Making appointments online makes life a little bit easier -I've had the best hair of my life since I started going to Sara Long version: I graduated college a couple of years ago and of course I wanted my hair to be the best it can be for the sake of photographs and a general sense of accomplishment because let's be honest, getting a degree in architecture does not feel as good as a fierce set of hair on your head. So off to the salon I went. I wasn't a regular anywhere back then because I never felt like I couldn't get a better cut somewhere else, so I decided to see the same person I had my last cut with. I'm not gonna get into the details, but I left the place in tears and sat in my car for a good 30 minutes hyperventilating and crying because graduation was in two days and I had just chopped all of my hair off. The next day I squeezed myself into Sara's full schedule for a rescue cut by jumping in after my friend got their hair dyed a beautiful brown-green gradient. I was honestly just hoping for a decent short pixie after the disaster of a cut I had gotten the day before but I walked out of Magdolls with a haircut that has made me a stronger and more confident person. Now I'm growing my hair out just so I can cut it again. No joke. Do yourself a favor and find a hairstylist. It will change your life. and if you're reading this, that means you're still looking for one so take my recommendation and go see Sara at Magdolls.

She's also a ninja with the scissors! =) I highly recommend her!

It did, but it was worth the wait. I like to keep a creative, modern medium to short cut and get highlights. My hair is not fool-proof and takes a certain type of stylist to "get." Enter Kristenlee / Studio Thirty - who was recommended by a good friend who lived in Portland. She has been part of the Portland music, style and entertainment production scene for a long while, stays up with the latest trends, has all kinds extensive training in things I can't even pronounce. The end result - someone who is very skilled, thoughtful, charismatic and attentive to your hair - your needs, overall. She spends the first 10 minutes just talking about what you have in mind and looking at your head to make sure it's realistic and easily manageable for your lifestyle. I won't go any where else in Portland for cut/highlights!

Unfortunately Kristie's former place of business, Dirty Little Secret, closed on February 1st. Fortunately, she can now be found at Studio Thirty. Studio Thirty is a brand new joint with currently two stylists, Kristie and the owner KristenLee. The space is pretty spartan but is flooded with natual light through a sky light and large front windows. Added to the quiet location, Studio Thirty is a relaxing place to be pampered. On my last visit I received the same great service that I am used to, the great cut that I have come to expect and I will definitely be back. I recommend checking out their web site for a list of services and the ability to make reservations online.

With Covid, it was almost 2 years of DIYing my hair till found another stylist ... (my beloved Sabrina had retired her scissors) And it was hard to find someone. Anyone I called was booked out for literally months. Finally,while hiking in Forest Park I ran into a friend who has similiar hair to mine and asked her who did her hair. She gave me Myna's number. Like hers, my hair is overly thick, and dingy blonde; mine though happens to look like a wet blanket often. With lots of grey to add an extra dose of blah. Basically i needed an Epic Do Over. I know its the thing to go grey, but just not ready. Anyways... Myna gave me the best haircut that I've had in a LONG time. Her color was impeccable. The highlights were very natural and brightening. She uses Goldwell and steams your hair color. It came out fantastic. Got a few compliments.... + it was really good to be actually out in public having a hair day rather than trying to do this in my unprofessional bathroom/. She is very conscientious and kind which makes it even better. Thanks Myna.

When someone slays your hair for the gods time and time again, she most definitely deserves…read morerecognition! I will scream it from the mountain tops, CHRISTY IS THE VERY BEST! Here's why: 1) Her personality is so refreshing, I love that there is never a dull moment with her! She keeps conversations naturally flowing and never fails to make me laugh. This is so important to me that I found someone who is positive and upbeat, especially when I have to spend a couple hours with them. 2) Christy is very informational and strives to keep the health and integrity of your hair. She explains exactly what she can do, what she cannot do, and why. She is honest about results and my hair has always turned out the way she said it would. 3) She is fast! I use to spend 5-7 hours at other salons to achieve blonde hair whereas Christy has me in and out in 2-3 hours. This may seem long to you, but trust me, her two hands are work DILIGENTLY. In that time, we have a quick conversation about the desired outcome (usually just more blonde), she then foils crazy fast, I'm under a dryer for some time, she will shampoo/condition, rinse, tone, blow dry, AND I always get a beautiful style! That is A LOT to do and she does it PERFECTLY and fast, but still PRECISE! 4) She knows how to work with asian hair. If you didn't know, asian hair is extremely difficult to lighten without over processing and damaging the hair in the process. Christy is not the stylist to go to if you want to go from black to blonde in one appointment, she will not and I repeat, WILL NOT, damage your hair in that way. I will say that she can most definitely give you the result you want (vibrant, ashy, platinum blonde hair with minimal to NO orange) but you will have to trust her and the process which will be in separate appts working up to that. That being said, every appt you will not be disappointed with the results--her work blends beautifully and only gets better with each appointment! 5) Her color correction skills are advanced and phenomenal. I first came to Christy with black, orange, purple and pink hair that I messed up while dying with manic panic. She took me from that horrid mess to a beautiful highlighted blonde. 6) She is confident in her knowledge, work and worth but isn't egotistical about it. She has over 20 years of experience in the beauty industry and while her results prove how great she is, she is still so humble. I have went to stylists who have less experience and are less skilled but still charge $250+ for highlights. I believe that Christy is very reasonably priced and honestly worth so much more than she charges for her services. To be completely honest, I believe Christy is the perfect hairstylist. My hair always turns out beautiful and I enjoy our time together. I believe she can transform you hair too and I know that you won't be disappointed if you do choose to go to her!
