    Not sure if this was just an off day for Kaleena but this is the first time I cried about my hair in a long time. I had wanted an icy platinum blonde, which it kind of is, but it's very yellow. I expressed my concern and she put a toner on my roots that made it even more yellow and didn't blend it. There's also still pink in my hair from the previous color I had, which she told me she would fix, but I don't feel comfortable going to her again. She's a lovely person but spending nearly 300$ for what she did is upsetting. I didn't feel comfortable telling her in person but I found this place on Yelp so I feel that I should leave a review for my experience.

    I came here a few months ago and Nichole colored my hair, she does an excellent job and I love the Goldwell elumen color line. I decided to come back a second time and scheduled "hair painting/ombré" because I wanted an all over dark purple ombre' to try something different and also since my birthday is coming up at the end of the month. I will be honest this place is top notch and the hairstylists are all excellent here but I ended up paying a pretty penny for my service and this is what I ended up getting. Later on that day after my appointment, I just was not as happy about my hair as I wanted to be. Not sure if it was just poor planning on the salons part because I don't think my hair set long enough in the foils, or if I should have had a consultation before coming in to show them exactly what I wanted, but I know other clients come here and get crazy fantasy/mermaid colors and I was disappointed that I didn't get that at all. I'm not saying that others should not come here because this is a great salon, I'm just more disappointed than happy with how my hair came out after all the money I spent on my service and would have not done the ombré part at all if I'd known this would be the result. I'm giving four stars this time is because I left with only 50% of what I had hoped my hair would look like.

    I had an amazing experience here with Kaleena I love my hair! I love the atmosphere it's super friendly and I feel like a new me! I definitely recommend Kaleena if you're looking for a new hairstyle!

    Freshly colored.  No more grey.

    Do ya'll have any examples of wedding styles for chubby faces with medium length curly hair? I'm the fat bridesmaid deciding whether or not to commit or do my own thing!

    Hi Britney, usually weddings are pretty crazy and we end up forgetting to take many pictures. You can look on our Facebook and Instagram and see what we’ve posted there. Otherwise Pinterest is always a great place to work.

    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.
