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.

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."

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.

In fact, I generally go about 1-2 yrs between cuts because they are always that bad but for the first time since I left Southern California, I've found a stylist that knows what they're doing. Kris took my shoulder length hair and cut it into an AMAZING shag. (And provided fantastic conversation while doing it, really they're super cool.) I love it so much! I've gone from a girl who only wore her hair in a ponytail or braids to keeping it unbound. I've gotten so many compliments and I just love the cut -- I can wear it straightened and curly and it looks just as good both ways. I've found the person I want to keep doing my hair, and I will be back!

I had a mixed experience recently here- Gretchen was very nice through the appointment and seemed…read morevery knowledgeable and helpful. She responded very quickly to my message quickly when I expressed dissatisfaction with my hair afterward, and offered to redo the color but I'd rather wait for my hair to grow out as it's several inches too short and already has layers of color in it. I arrived at 11am for an appointment that my confirmation said would last until 1:30pm and we didn't finish until 4pm. She did my cut first and then did the baby lights- they added nice color and dimension to the hair as desired. But she then did my roots and combed the color through. While my color was processing, someone arrived for a haircut and had their haircut done while my color sat. Around 45 minutes later, my color was washed out and was darker than I expected- most of the baby lights were no longer visible. She mentioned the color will fade to be lighter as expected, but the result was surprising. I also asked for 2 inches or so to be cut, and mentioned I wanted to be able to put my hair in a ponytail still. When facing the mirror, the length was going great and she showed me it could still go in a ponytail. When turned around, I lost several inches for some reason and there was no going back. She took off even more in the back, and I left unable to put my hair in a ponytail. I'm not sure if there was a miscommunication and she thought I wanted the grow out to be able to be in a ponytail, but I don't think so since she initially showed me she could put it in a ponytail. By 4pm I was tired and hungry and ready to get home- she asked if I wanted to see the hair blown out and styled which I did but just wasn't up for given the 5 hours I'd been there so I said no. There was also another person waiting for their 4pm appointment to start. When I did straighten it at home, I was surprised by my hair. I've gotten cuts that suit curly hair on many occasions and have always been able to wear the cuts straight too. This cut when straight appears uneven and choppy. The transition to the short back is awkward. She'd mentioned that at the end she'd go through and do any evening, cutting of long pieces etc needed but by then, as I'd mentioned, someone had shown up for another appointment at 4 and no additional cutting was done. I'm not sure if it was an off day, if my hair just took a few hours longer than expected or if she typically stacks appointments but things seemed rushed between the clients. I've never had someone try to do a whole haircut while dye sits on and I felt like my dye was likely left on too long due to it which resulted in the darker hair and missing baby lights. I've included pictures of my hair before the appointment length wise, what I asked for, and what I got. Given the many positive reviews, I'd say this could be chalked up to an off experience but given the starkly different results I thought it was worth sharing.
