Hair color restored! Looks natural and feels soft.
Amy B.

I recently moved to Keizer and was in need of a new stylist so I looked here on yelp. I started losing tons of hair after I got sick in December and had not been to a stylist since! My hair started to grow back and so my roots were about 3 inches long. Ally Gunter was able to bring my color back to a beautiful tone and blended the roots perfectly. I highly recommend her! My hair looks great and feels soft.

Haircut and fashion color extensions.

Took my 6yr old for a haircut with Lisa, absolutely amazing experience for her! Lisa was so warm and friendly and listened to what my daughter wanted and kept asking her for her opinions and giving her choices. My daughter only wants to go to Lisa from now on. She loved her experience!!

Amazing blends

Good morning, we are in the Salem area. I don’t know if that’s in your desired area to travel for a haircut. We would be happy to help you. You can go online to essencehairstudiosalem.com to book an appointment that best fits your schedule. I would…

**I shared this exact same review on Facebook**…read more Kristin is hands down the best hair stylist I've ever visited. I was introduced to her by my roommate over a year ago, and, since then, I've converted many of my friends and we all adore her!! Aside from being the cutest, sweetest, most pleasant person in the world- her prices are extremely fair for the incredible quality of work she does. I always book my appointments with her after each session and that works well for me. She is the type of person genuinely cares for her clients. I am always greeted with a hug and asked what is new in my life. It is always such a pleasure to visit her and the beautiful salon! Cannot recommend her enough! Aside from Kristin being wonderful, throughout the past year and a half that I've been a client, I've interacted with many of the other stylists there. EVERY SINGLE PERSON that works there is outstanding. Jamie is incredibly sweet and always has a smile on her face. Additionally, every time I'm there, I witness the amazing work that each stylist does on their clients. I can't say enough about this salon!

Christine Hill is AMAZING!…read more To be honest, I had no idea where Christine's process was going with my hair, even after we had a lengthy conversation about what I was looking for as a result. I even joked with her, "I'm not going to want to shave my head after this, am I ?". Yes, a joke but not having gone to a professional salon in several years...a joke not a joke? I'm 64 with a lot of grey that in the past, I cut/colored myself... Suffice it say, it was damaged, brassy, and had a hard demarkation from the grow out. I put blind faith in Christine today and once she was through, I almost couldn't believe it. Not only did she listen and pay attention to our initial conversation, it was Obvious that she absolutely knows what she is doing and has been in the industry long enough to show it. Christine is very personable, easy to talk with, and is a real person with nothing to prove. I can't say enough about Christine as a person, and the results of her work with my hair is just a snippet as to her overall talents. I highly recommend Christine Hill, hands down with absolutely no hesitation.

I don't normally write reviews, but I've just been so impressed with this salon that I had to. I've…read morebeen going here for a few years to see Blake for standard cuts and highlights, and have always been happy with the results and my experiences there. For my last appointment I was ready to do something much more fun that I have been wanting to do for years, take it shorter and do a bright fantasy color. There was a small mix up for the booking (first time ever) and there shouldn't have been enough time to get everything done, but Blake and the team (even the owner!) stepped up to make it happen and still took great care of the other clients there. They even got me out the door in time to make an appointment I had after. I have gotten so many compliments on my hair since! I love this salon and the team, and highly recommend them. P.S. I really appreciate their policies that keep the salon a relaxing experience, it's so nice to know that every time I go there it's going to be like going to a spa instead of a carnival or daycare. They are so conscientious about their clients needs, including sensory overload and/or stress reduction. I wish more businesses understood the importance of this (even if for just certain spaces or hours of operation).

I sat on this one a little while because I'm nervous to make people upset but the more I look at my…read morehair, the more upset I personally become. Anyway, the first photo is a screenshot of what I wanted. I saved for months to make this possible as a Mother's Day gift for myself after having my 3rd child and needing some self care. The second photo is what I got. I spoke up and said it was too light and looked nothing like the photo I showed them. I was told that I could've been more clear (I showed them a photo???) and that the lighting in the photo is off??? Anyway, someone more senior came to help my stylist "fix" it. The third is what I got after returning the next day for them to fix it. It's terrible. Not at all what I wanted. And that streak in the middle... ugh. Anyway. I'll be having my cousin cut my hair because after all their attempts to "fix it," my hair is so dead and tangles so easily. They destroyed my hair and made me feel worse. Yes, I couldn't told them I still didn't like it. Here's why I didn't - they charged me significantly MORE when "fixing it" because of the supplies they had to use - no acknowledgement that it came out differently than intended nor an apology.
