Before!!!!
Amanda P.

I admit I am weary when it comes to new salons and new stylists for my hair (I'm a bit overprotective of it). I grew up around stylists and rather than trusting anyone else, I'd always just do it myself with the knowledge i had. But for once i wanted to be pampered, so, i started looking around Instagram and discovered Heather! I'm so glad i did!! She understood exactly what i wanted, and took my expectations above and beyond. She even used vegan dye, and a cruelty free lifestyle is important to me :) Heather was so sweet, sitting in her chair was fun and i walked away feeling more confident than i have in years. People won't stop complimenting my hair telling me how healthy and bouncy it is! I highly recommend her for any service you're looking for!!

Just want to start off by saying that the atmosphere here is great, everyone is positive and really nice. I've spent HOURS there, so think I'm pretty sure it's consistent each time. Rachael- she is one amazing artist! I've gone to her 3 times now and everytime I leave there I'm speechless on what magic she's created with my hair. She takes her time to make sure to treat my hair with so much care. I'll reccomend her forever, and will keep coming back with ideas, that I know she'll put that special touch on.

Well, here goes nothing! Of the almost 300 reviews I've written on Yelp! this will be my first that isn't restaurant-related, and that's saying something! Heather was, simply put, amazing. Not only did she communicate well with me before I arrived in Portland (my husband and I took a trip out there for our anniversary in October), she also was very thoughtful about the pictures I'd sent her, and spent a lot of time before our appointment checking out similar cuts and colors to make sure she had a great idea of what I would like - and boy did she! Not only that, she spent over 4 hours with me, from the cut, to refining the style, to the myriad colors she put in my hair! It was fascinating to chat with her and learn about her life as well. I went back the next day to purchase the products she used because they really do make the colors pop out, and make my hair at least appear less dry. I would go back to hear in a heartbeat if I lived anywhere near Portland. Definitely recommend!

Cut by Lu

~~**UPDATE**~~ I've been a client of Lu for the past 1+ year, and I will not go to anyone else. Having good skills is nice, but nothing's more important than being able to have the connection between you & your stylist. Lu understands me and there's always clear communication between her & I. I love that she loves to cut my hair and gets excited whenever I make a appointment lol. Lu is the stylist I trust that I can just walk in and have her do whatever she wants with my hair, no regrets. She is up-to-date with what's "in" style and that is awesome! Every time I get a cut it's never the same hairstyle, and Lu & I have not ran out of ideas yet lol. Don't think I'll find another badass stylist like her! And did I mention that Lu only cuts with razor. I have had several people ask on Reddit for stylist that cuts with razor and I have always referred them to Lu. i love you lu!!!!!!

This is a long overdue review for Evette Valdez. She has been doing my hair for a while now and she always does an amazing job! One day I came in for a color job and my hair had been permanently stained from box dye (beware the brand Overtone). She handled it so well and we were able to find a solution. I came out with beautiful lilac hair! Also, recently she cut my hair short and I'm obsessed with my new look. Can't recommend her enough!!!

haircut by Rachael (2 days after the cut) looking so much better n healthy than it did before!!

I highly recommend Becky for balayage. My warm, blonde highlights look very natural. The products she uses smell amazing as well.

Before Midnight Hair - Color and extensions by Kristina

I had to take a moment to rave about Kristina at Before Midnight Hair - she's a true hair wizard…read more Watching Kristina work was like seeing an artist with her favorite canvas. 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.

Kristina is AMAZING. Super upfront and I trusted her as soon as I first met with her cod the…read moreconsultation. I'm in my mid 40's and have never had extensions before. 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!!

Took my temperature when I arrived, and asked about any symptoms and exposure to COVID. Stephanie did my hair. I had horrible COVID grow out, had to get color correction, because of the incompetence of the person who did my hair at a different salon. I had to have two visits with Stephanie to fix my hair. The final result was great! She gave me a great recommendation of a protein hair mask to use at home. Wow! What a difference! As much as we had fun at my hair visits. She didn't want to see me for at least two months! I was heartbroken. Who was I to have girl talk with? Who was going to spoil me with my hair? Who was going to make me look beautiful? (I am hot. But, she made me look much hotter). I begged her to change her mind! I cried like a baby! Just kidding! I have over processed my hair from bleaching it so much throughout the years. I'm a brunette, trying to have Elsa/Daenerys hair. Stephanie doesn't want my hair to fall out, and look like Cinderella's ugly step-sisters. Stephanie is not a selfish person, and wants me to have beautiful, and healthy hair. I'm planning on seeing her again in April. My last visit with her was in December 2020. My hair has had time to become stronger, and healthy enough to finally achieve my Elsa/Daenerys look. Especially, with the protein hair mask that Stephanie recommended. It's Aphogee Serious Care & protection Two-Step protein treatment. Worth it! My hair is shiny, healthy and strong! Plus, I've been shampooing and conditioning my hair with dark purple/blue shampoo and conditioner. A must for blonde/platinum hair. Stephanie is amazing (not because we have the same name). Because, she's friendly, respectful, knowledgeable, caring and fun to hangout with. While, she works her magic with making hair healthy and beautiful! Go see her! I promise. She won't make you cry. She's not mean. I was just kidding about that. I'm sarcastic.
