LiveEdge Salon + Spa - MO does a great job with cut and color and everything. They truly care about your experience. - Hair Salons Near Me - Oregon City, Oregon

Walking into the salon is a cozy and luxurious and down to earth experience, all at once. Every stylist really strives to meet your hair goals, while also being mindful of the state of your hair. I've been going here for a couple years and sometimes I love my looks and sometimes I haven't loved the grow out or the way the color has faded, but it has always been resolved with a plan to get my hair where I'd like it to be during my next visit. It's spendy, yes, but it is also an investment in the health of your hair. You wear your hair every. single. day. It's definitely worth a visit. And the products they recommend: you gotta invest. Trust me. read more

Had an amazing Scalp Spa treatment from Isabella. She was amazing, very sweet and kind, and walked me through every step. The Salon is very cute and goes a long way toward being eco friendly. Definitely recommend! read more

Highly recommend this! This salon uses clean products. Services are hair and facials. I had my roots touched up and no chemical smell and no sting scalp. Boy this experience was WONDERFUL it was a SPA day for my hair and scalp. I was educated on the products and the benefits. This Salon sells all hair and facial products with an affordable cost. I came out with hair that was shiny looked healthy and perfect color match. The owner was very informative about my hair concerns and she and my hairstylist discussed the best approach for my hair. Oh and if you buy their clean products and finish the product just bring back the empty bottles and they will fill your bottle or you can refill it yourself. They recycle. Enjoy You will not be disappointed. read more

UPDATE: I waited until the last minute and couldn't get in with Sydnie so scheduled with Kat. She reassured me that she consulted with Sydnie and studied my notes. She did a fabulous job. Absolutely love this gal and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Sydnie does a great job training her staff and keeping processes consistent with detailed notes. Bravo gals!! ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW: Got my hair done at LiveEdge Salon & Local Artistry. Love my hair and I love that Sydnie is in my backyard. Incredibly talented and good people. Also, love that she uses and carries natural products. The color was great and I adore the cut - finally someone who speaks my language! She got exactly what I was looking for. I thought I was being bossy and complicated but she welcomed and appreciated that I knew what I wanted :) Kat is learning from Sydnie and couldn't be nicer and more accommodating to make your experience as comfortable as possible. Book your appointment before Kat graduates and you might get the "Beyoncé" treatment! Woo-Joi Love!! Highly recommend Thank goodness I found Sydnie and LiveEdge! Highly read more

Last minute call in, and they were able to get me in the same day! Kat did an amazing job on my cut and highlight! Throughout the whole process, she communicated everything from A to Z, leaving no suprises at the end. She really took the time to listen and make sure we were on the same page before starting. Kat was great at providing different options to achieve my desired result, including a price points that were comfortable. I felt more involved in the whole process rather than just showing a "like this" picture and hoping it all worked out. This really stood out amongst other salons I've visited in the past. I fully trusted Kat by the time she started on my hair. It was a nice change, from crossed fingers that my stylist knew what I wanted. The Ambiance in this place is so relaxing and earthy. They offer beer, wine, water, tea and coffee (cream and sugar included). They're extremely customer service oriented and professional. I could just go on and on! At checkout, I found out that they recycle their products and leftover hair, doing their part to support the change for a healthier planet (they send the hair out to make new doggy beds for sheltered animals! So cool ) Good people Good morals Good products Good results Good vibes This is my kind of place! And definitely worth more than five stars! A new forever and happy customer read more

Overrated...over priced. I had an employee in training and felt forced to give a 20 percent tip. The orientation and tour is so unnecessary and the sale pitch turned me off. Won't be back. read more

This Salon is amazing! If anyone is looking for a new stylist or new place tog eat their hair done I couldn't recommend this place more. I always get not only any amazing haircut, but I feel like I'm walking into a spa every time I'm there. The staff is well trained and very friendly. I usually would bounce between different salons, but LiveEdge has made me a very happy repeat cust read more

So very glad I found this place! The moment I walked in I knew this was the salon I have been searching for... you immediately smell the beautiful soaps and oils they have for sale and the natural woodsy feel through out the well thought out salon gives you instant comfort. My stylist Kat Renecker, is a true miracle worker. I came in with very damaged hair from do at home hair coloring and left with the most healthy amazing hair!!! Her knowledge and skill with coloring brought my hair back to life!! Everyone in the salon are very friendly and all work together. I love this place... can you tell Lol read more

Such a great experience here! I have had both Sydnie and Kat as my stylist and have been SO happy with their expertise. My hair has never looked and felt better!! Most recently Kat not only problem solved my dry hair and scalp issues but came up with a plan for keeping it healthy and looking its best. Also, the salon is inviting and relaxing as soo a s you walk in. It has beautiful live plants and wood interior and a variety of local products and gifts that I often get for myself and gifts for others. I truly look forward to every visit here and am so glad to have found them. read more

Kat has revived my blonde locks into the perfect cool tone/sandy look I have been wanting and I couldn't be more impressed. I have been here twice and have been so pleased with the cut and color both times! Kat is very detail oriented but still relaxed and easy going. Having people ask where I got my hair done and what color it is so they can try it out next is just the icing on the cake. Thanks Kat! read more

LiveEdge Salon + Spa - Hair Salons Near Me - Oregon City, Oregon

Sydney was amazing! She greeted me as I walked into the salon, which was very inviting and had a great vibe with all of her father's wood work around the shop intermingled with the great products and goodies of a cool salon.She discussed every aspect of what we were going to do with my hair and then executed it to perfection. I came here because I was burned out on overpriced mediocre to poor performance from Dosha and was very pleasantly pleased with the change. For approximately the same price point I received the service and performance that Dosha promises but doesn't and hasn't been able to live up to for a long time now. Parking was crazy, so come early and prepare to be predatory in your pursuits of a space but, this place is well worth it. Plus, there are a lot of other great shops and restaurants within walking distance of this shop. read more

Although I did get a good hair cut this place only gave me a estimated price once I was in the chair and to get layers and thin out the back of my hair it was 75.00 and now I see this place is charging for reservations and in times of COVID it just doesn't sound like a gamble I want to make because if you need a different reservation it's another charge and they may not refund your money if you cancel so nope I will find another place it seems like the prices and money they are asking are way beyond what I would say is reasonable and now they require your payment card ahead of time. read more

I really didn't want to write anything about my experience at LiveEdge, however after reading some of the recent negative reviews I found myself wishing that they had been written before my visit so that maybe I could have avoided going there. My stylist moved far away so I was looking for a new salon closer to home. My hair is long, dirty blonde and thick. I know that it can be a challenge to get my signature platinum look, which is why I am very familiar with the various lightening volumes and what strength is needed to get it to 'lift'. At first I was so impressed with the space and how welcoming my stylist was. She was a great conversationalist and made me laugh more than once which was winning me over right off the bat. I shared my past bleaching experiences with her so that she would know that my hair would need the strong stuff to cooperate. I had asked for a balayage with extra baby-lites near my face. It seemed pretty straight forward so I thought, given that this is a pretty common technique. I have had a balayage every 6 months for the last 3 years, so I was certain I knew what to expect... boy was I wrong. First, she started by half-ass separating my hair into two chunks (top half-bottom half) and loosely clipping it up to where my ends were still hanging down into the area she was about to bleach. I thought, well it's all going to be colored at the ends, so I guess that doesn't matter. Then she started with the bleach, roughly painting it on, NOT blending it AT ALL, and putting PLASTIC WRAP on my head -- wtf?! I asked if the blonde would be blended into my darker blonde roots if she just used a wide-angle brush to paint it and not comb it through or even separate the strands like you would for basic highlights? She said yes, everything would work out fine. Ok. It's different than ALL the other times I have had this done, but ok. I agree with the comment below where the customer felt nickel-and-dimed, because throughout the process she kept saying that I needed this extra treatment which costs an extra $45, and she underestimated the bleach she needed so that would cost more each time she refilled the tray... oh! and I also needed this repairing treatment for another cost, blah blah. This was starting to become an uncomfortably negative experience the longer I sat there. Finally my color was supposedly done and she rinsed my hair and took me to the mirror to check it out. My hair was ORANGE. Not brassy yellow, not golden, ORANGE. The look on my face must've been a doozy because she immediately said, 'oh that will all work out with the toner.' I have been through this before, toner will NOT fix underdeveloped bleach. She put a ton of toner on my hair, which I again was told would cost more due to the amount needed. When all was said and done I left after 4 hours with orange hair and was so appalled I just walked out and cried in my car. After a couple of days I called the salon and asked to have my hair fixed. I was kind of rudely interrogated but it was agreed that I could come back and she would fix my blonde. I went back, feeling really uncomfortable, and again was there for 2-3 hours while the stylist rushed through my color fix. At least the blonde was lighter (still not platinum, because she clearly didn't listen to my advice in the first place) and I was sort of ok leaving it at that. This was until just before I was going to walk out the door she said, "we need to figure out the cost of your color, since we had to do it twice." My jaw DROPPED. I was speechless. You mean to say that I have to pay you MORE money to fix the crappy job you did in the first place? She was totally serious and wasn't about to let me walk out without giving her more money for the fixing products. I reluctantly gave her $30 to cover the bleach and left so upset I could hardly believe it. The icing on this cake is that my hair had spots in it. Not weird streaks, but spots! Chunks of hair throughout my head that were completely un-bleached, so when I tried to wear my hair straight there were obvious dark spots all over in my blonde. I also had very clear brush-marks all around the top of my head which just looked like I had done a home-bleach that grew out. I haven't been able to wear my hair straight since. If I don't curl it or put it up you can clearly see my blotches and lines where the different bleaches were applied. I thought about calling AGAIN, but I was worried that I would again be forced to pay for them to fix their mistakes. All in all, worst salon experience I have had in my life. When I called to complain the other stylists tried to cover for her and explain away why everything happened the way it did, talking to me like I was an idiot who didn't understand the scientific intricacies of hair coloring so I can't judge their methods. I hope they read this and heed my words; stand behind your work and mistakes. The clients opinion is all that matters in this business. read more

Summary: Please go elsewhere. Overpriced and not the right technique & they nickel and dime you for each step of the process. I spent 4 hours in the chair initially and left with grey hair and then spent 2 more hours to correct the initial color. For $330 (including 15% tip) and 4 hours in the chair, (plus 2 more hours for the roots/color to be added) it was not what I wanted. I just didn't want to go back a 3rd time to get no farther than before. I paid for balayage and instead got foiled bleaching (not balayage) and when they said they'd add color, I assumed that meant to get rid of my greys & use a toner. Nope, I had to call and go back in to get a root touchup (they initially wanted to charge me extra) and added toner/gloss! Full review: Red Flag: They ask new customers to sign some sort of 'waiver' to understand that your hair may not turn out exactly as you like. Most clients should know this going in, but why the waiver? I asked for balayage, and wanted honey/caramel/lighter tones of browns and did not want blonde. She said that she'd have to lighten it to the max to "DEPOSIT" color back in because you can't lighten it later. I said that made sense, to go for it. I would like to stress that she said "deposit color" because in the end no color ever touched my hair on the first visit. Even under the dryer, while bleaching, she showed me my super blonde hair & I told her again, that's fine that it's light to get the orange tones out b/c I wanted light browns/caramels and not blonde & that I knew we'd "deposit" color back in. After I was done processing, I assumed she toned my hair & "deposited" color, like we had talked about. Not a problem, but in the chair, we only dried my hair about 75% of the way, since I wanted to leave it curly and was tired after 4 hours in the salon. When my hair was wet it looked like browns, so I was fine with it. When it fully dried, I noticed that I had all of my initial grey hair so I assumed the toner didn't take and my hair was blonde instead of the browns we had talked about. The next day, I called & let her know that I had greys still & that it dried really blonde. She said "Oh yes I thought you wanted the greys to blend in with the blonde". When does anyone leave the salon with their greys!? And they didn't even blend!! She said that it was b/c I didn't ask for a 'root color' which would be $38 on top of the $330 I already paid!! At this point I was on the verge of tears! I asked if she seriously thought I wanted to leave with grey hair and why I'd have to pay for the color to be added, when we kept talking about 'depositing' color to begin with!? She said they would 'comp the roots color this one time'. Whenever I go elsewhere they always lighten, color the roots & tone so it blends! Here it's all 'a la cart' and I didn't know what each process step was! For $230 for just the "balayage" you'd assume color to be included, especially after she kept saying that my hair wouldn't be blonde after she "DEPOSITED" color back in. Even under the dryer, she showed me my hair & said we had to get it as light as possible since we can add color later & then re-lighten. So i was fine with her lightening my color a lot, I was under impression I was getting color after! So I went back in a few days later to get the roots done & gloss added. (2 more hours). Pricing: $228 for balayage. They charged me for balayage, but the true technique of balayage is to "hand paint" and NOT use foils! I paid extra for their balayage & in the end, I got a head full of foils! So if you want true balayage, this isn't the place. I have had a true balayage & turned out really nice...no foils, but this place uses foils. I thought it was a highlight/balayage technique, but nope. AND afterwords, they said that this was ONLY for lightening the hair. If i wanted color to blend it in well, that would've been an extra $38 for the roots, and gloss would be extra too! $56 for haircut (includes $20 discount b/c I got the "balayage"). I wanted a lot of layers & the girl asked me if i wanted them "within or out" I DON'T know! Just layers so I had to keep asking her to take more hair & in the end the hair cut was just average & I still don't have layers, but that isn't as bad as the color issue. $2 for them to ship my hair somewhere instead of throwing it in the garbage (only heard about this fee when they were ringing me up). $43 (15% tip, standard for me) $330 for 4 hours, plus 2 more hours to add color that wasn't added initially I didn't give 1 star, b/c they tried to make it right, but my hair was already messed up so I truly don't think they could've made it what I wanted. I wanted to save time driving to PDX, but in the end I would've saved time & money since I only sit in my other salon's chair for 2-2.5 hours vs. 6!! Please go elsewhere until they get more experience. Would you pay $330 (inc. tip) for what I got? And actually have to pay $38 more for the roots that I was "comped" + gloss. read more

After searching some many different salons online, I finally have found Sydney. She was so passionate about what she does. She did not just cut hair, but bring my hair cut to fashion and practical for my work. I am very happy about this short hair Style and the service there. read more

As a visitor, I needed to find a salon. My wonderful daughter-in-law recommended LiveEdge Eco. I am so glad I went! The cut and color were perfect. Mo is a cool stylist who listened to me. When I come back to Portland, I will definitely return. BONUS-the actual salon and it's philosophy are fabulous. I wish this concept would catch on elsewhere - real Oregon vibe. read more

Absolutely loved my experience at LiveEdge. Our bride and bride tribe arrived early and stayed for about half of the day getting ready with Sydney and her crew. They did an incredible job, awesome work by amazing humans. They make sure to get a really good understanding of what you're looking for and what you like, which I really appreciated it. The bride and the wedding party looked awesome by the time the stylists were finished with us! I also really appreciate how environmentally friendly the salon is! All of the products used in the salon are environmentally kind to our world:-) Last thing--the music playlists while we were all getting ready were some of the best I've heard in a while! I was introduced to so many new songs and artists that I fell in love with. If you're in search of a new salon, and you've stumbled across this one in your yelp search--congrats, you've found the perfect one! read more

Very cute eco friendly salon! Centrally located with easy access parking. Lots of great local and natural products for sale. I had a facial and wax from laurel miller, who did a fantastic job it was very relaxing and I would highly recommend getting any service by her. Thanks again Laurel! read more

I just loved my experience here. Kat did a partial balayage on my hair after a thorough explanation of all the different options I could do. My hair looks fantastic. It has wonderful depth and it all flows together wonderfully. No zebra stripes or strangely placed chunks of highlight. I was impressed with the level of communication I was given about styles, cost, and processes. The environment was very comfortable. You walk in and it smells like mellow essential oils, no harsh chemicals. I always get headaches at salons, but not here. If you are going to spend a couple hours with someone Kat is the person for the job. She's very friendly and approachable. Doesn't yak your ear off. Very gentle on your scalp and careful with sensitivities. read more

The salon makes me feel so calm and welcomed. MJ is an amazing stylist who really took the time to get to know me and my hair. She asked a lot of questions about what I wanted and was very knowledgeable. This is one of the best experiences I've had with a stylist. I'm looking forward to going back to her. read more

I went in for the first time after reading multiple good reviews. Mary Jo was easy to talk to and made extra sure I knew what was going to happen when I had asked her to lop off 10 inches of my long hair into a layered bob. She was a pro and and seemed to enjoy her job and gave me a great cut. I am so pleased that I have found a local salon and stylist that is attentive to your ideas, expressive of her opinions on your hair, and my hair looks and feel great! read more

I live in Hawaii and travel to Portland twice a year and will wait to get my hair done by Sydnie. I trust her more than any other stylist I've ever worked with. So much so that she gets full artistic freedom on my hair whenever I go in. The prices are VERY reasonable for the undivided attention you receive while in her chair. She uses plant based, natural products which is great for me because I am super sensitive to artificial fragrance and great for the environment. The salon itself is so cozy, warm and welcoming, you can see that Sydnie takes great pride in her business. read more

Not only is this salon environmentally conscious, but my haircut is fabulous and I got great advice on how to maintain it. I'll be back.

I've been going to LiveEdge and seeing Sydnie for 3 years and will never go anywhere else. The moment you walk through the door you can feel the relaxed energy. All of the stylists are friendly and approachable. Although I've only seen Sydnie, I would trust any of the stylists with my hair and they all have put up beautiful results. (Check out their Instagram). I would highly recommend this salon to anyone and everyone. I've seen improvement in my hair's health as well as my ability to style it! This place rocks! read more

Brief update: go to Richelle for eyebrows. Seriously. I have received so many compliments on my eyebrows. She waxed, shaped and tinted them and let me tell you. They make my whole face perfect. I feel good when my eyebrows look fly and Rochelle, she did more then that. read more

Greeted at the door, offered a beverage then we sat and talked about what I wanted, how we could do it, options and then finally a run down on price and product detail. Everything was transparent and the results were exactly as we spoke. Organic products and a nice setting. Glad I have found this place. read more

I love this place. It's such a beautifully designed salon, and really promotes shopping local! Mary always gives excellent suggestions for my hair, and ends up making it better than I thought if would be. It's always a wondeful experience! read more

LiveEdge Salon + Spa - "Brond" highlights, with some new layers! - Hair Salons Near Me - Oregon City, Oregon

Waxing services here are awesome! I was looking to find a local place rather than continue to drive to Urban Wax in Portland. Richelle makes you feel very comfortable and uses a special type of wax that is the least painful I've ever experienced. Highly recommended! read more

I had the best experience today at LiveEdge salon. I have to admit I was nervous about trying the salon because I read a couple of bad reviews. I have very specific ways I like my hair and I don't like a hard sale. Matt was my stylist and he was absolutely delightful. He took his time asking all the right questions about my hair, style, habits, etc. when he started cutting my hair I was very comfortable with Matt and had total confidence in his expertise and vision. I loved my hair when he was through! And the salon!!! If I could design the perfect salon for my tastes and environmental habits it would be LiveEdge. They use earth friendly, organic and gluten free products. They recycle.....a lot! They even recycle hair! Seriously. It is used to make booms to clean up oil spills on the water. How cool is that? And, the very best part, you can bring back certain product containers and have them refilled. You do have to pay but you get a discount while keeping plastic out of the landfills. Kat was also a great ambassador to the salon. She was welcoming and knowledgable. I am so looking forward to my next appointment. read more

I love this place! Today was my second visit and I'm basically sold forever. Kat did amazing helping me decide on a style that would work for my hair type and lifestyle and it looks seriously amazing! She was so friendly and professional. I love the environment of the salon, it's just so beautiful and tranquil in there. I'm happy to pay a little more than other places, knowing that everything they use is eco friendly and the workers are well taken care of. I feel like I've been looking for a salon I love this much for my whole life. read more

I love this place!! Sydnie is awesome! I have been going here for about a year now and was just telling my mom how happy I am every time I get my hair done(usually it takes a couple days for me to get used to a cut or color). I love how knowledgable Sydnie is and how she explains the process. Very genuine and I never feel rushed or like I'm putting her out. So so happy I found this place! read more

Richelle is amazing. She provides amazing and fast service. This was my second time and I definitely have found my fave spot to do my brows.

Sydnie is great. I highly recommend this salon. She listens to your needs and works to meet your goals.

I am so sad. I really wanted this to be our new family salon as it is insanely gorgeous, good for the environment, and so close to where we live! Alas, we came away with two very expensive, sloppy kids haircuts. I booked two cuts back to back which prompted the stylist to call me and ask why. When I said it was two kids (5 and 7), I was told that they don't usually work with kids. I mentioned that mine have been going to a kids salon or barber for years and know how to sit still and follow directions. So it was agreed that they could be seen for cuts. As predicted, they sat still and did as they were told. I had to ask for several (what I thought were really obvious) trims to get things straight. Upon looking at the cuts more closely in the days that followed, we found tons of stray hairs on my son and my daughter's hair looks choppy and horrible-like it was cut too short and they were just like "oh well?". I sort of fixed my son's hair but I don't have enough guts to fix my daughter's so I guess we'll just let it grow out and then have a professional fix it. I'm in the process of trying to find a new stylist for myself that is closer to where I live, but the search continues as I can't trust this salon-especially at the prices they charge. read more

I'm thrilled that I found Sydney and Live Edge! She really helped me bring my color vision to life, despite me having difficulty describing what I was looking for! She has a rally good eye for color and style and helped guide me through the process. The salon is comfortable and beautifully decorated. read more

Mary Jo is magic, pure magic with hair! She listened to exactly what I wanted, told me what ways of what I wanted would work with my hair and what wouldn't, then offered and showed me my options. This right here is what stylist miss, all too often. She then did an amazing job on my hair, I left feeling I got just what I needed :) Thank you Mj! Can't wait to be back read more

I've been super happy with my experiences at LiveEdge! First visit was to get some awful highlights fixed, and I've been back multiple times for cuts and color. Sydnie takes time to really listen to what you want and makes sure you're both on the same page about the direction you want your hair to go in. She's also been really helpful with explaining how to style and manage the new cut. I definitely recommend this salon. read more

Kat is wonderful! She's really good with short haircuts and takes her time to do it just right!!! I've had a few visits here now and never disappoints! The salon atmosphere is warm and cozy, very nice experience. read more
