    MagDolls cut and color on the top (spots and color-blocked), color correction received the following week at another salon. :(
    L H.

    I never write reviews (especially bad ones), mainly because I feel horrible doing so and I hate confrontation. I am doing so only because of the encouragement to do so from my husband and other stylists that fixed my hair after visiting MagDolls recently. I found MagDolls looking for a place with great reviews and somewhat good prices. I went in to get my long hair cut and colored. I hadn't dyed it in many years. Unfortunately, the cut and color turned out very bad. I had requested a cut that was a few inches lower than my shoulders, and also some blonde added into my hair (not ombre, but some natural highlights to be woven in). I explained I hated warmer, brassy tones on my hair, and wanted more ashy or icy highlights. I have posted a picture of what the results were from the cut and color I received at MagDolls (on the top), and the color correction I recently paid for at another salon (on the bottom). When I left MagDolls, immediately I knew the color was much more orange and brassy than I had wanted, but felt so awkward complaining, especially since my stylist was very kind (and had also stayed an hour past closing to finish my hair; a total of 3 hours by the time I left)! The cut turned out much shorter and chunky than the picture I had shown my stylist. I will be also getting that corrected soon at the other salon to make it less embarrassing. Sad to say, this was a very bad experience for my hair and my wallet. Overall, I paid $175 at MagDolls (including tip), and have since paid another $175.00 to get the color job corrected at another salon. The other salon did a phenomenal job correcting the color, and I am hoping they can salvage the cut soon too when I can get back in.

    Mag Dolls is a hair salon, barber and all around good time founded by Michelle Hogue. Formerly, Michelle was my barber of choice at Bishops on NW 21st in the Nob Hill neighborhood. I have never had any kind of allegiance to a particularly barber before I met Michelle and now I don't want to ever go to another one. Went into Bishops for my last hair cut and was informed that Michelle had opened her own shop. Though I was disappointed not to get my hair cut that morning, I was more than happy to hear that she had her own place. She's that good. Generally hair cuts, for me, range anywhere between a despised chore and a mild irritation. And the consistency of the result has had an even broader span between "I Like it" and "WTF?". A hair cut from Michelle, however, is a pleasure on every level. Aside from having a high level of craft and skill she also appears to have an intuitive artist's sense of what will look good on your skull. I always walk out of her haircuts feeling better, brighter and hotter. Who cares if anyone else thinks so? The experience of the haircut itself is really fabulous as well. She's gentle and, unlike some barbers and stylists, she's a pleasure to talk to while she works. There are little details that are cool as well. She always offers to trim my eyebrows. Kinda weird because I don't do that sort of grooming and at first I was like, "Huh?" But then I let her do it and, damn if I didn't look better. Had no idea I was wandering around with bushy brows until that. Mag Dolls also has an interesting belief, so stated on their web page, Mag Dolls "believes that in helping you to look your best you will feel great and love yourself. Loving yourself is the key to loving others." What I like about that is that it suggests that Mag Dolls has a mission apart from making money. Something they believe in that DRIVES them to make money and succeed that isn't the money and success for its own sake. And that's something for their audience to believe in about them. Believe it and get yourself a new haircut at Mag Dolls. You'll dig yourself.

    I am so happy that I found Michelle (on Yelp). She has a way with cuts and color that makes your hair do what it wants to do around your face. I used to often go on the weekend or after hours so my hair would be casual but, because she is so in demand, I've had to go a few times during work hours - I could tell that she was studying how I fix my hair for work and what I was wearing and that just gave her more ammo to make some positive changes on my behalf. I love that she knows what to do to my hair that's in my best interest . . . Go here - she will make you beautiful.

    I've come to MAGDolls three times in the past few years and have tried a couple other hair places in/around town. MAGDolls is by far my favorite. I'm very lazy with my hair, yet I enjoy having long hair, so I usually come in with split ends and layers that have gone kind of flat. "Save my hair!" I plea to them with puppy dog eyes. And boy, do they! I first had Terra Commander, who sadly, has moved on from MAGDolls. She gave me a lovely hair wash, which I had never had done before. And she gave me my first "stylish" cut - so I was nervous, as I had never had more than just a simple, straightforward cut or trim of my hair before. The result was great. It made me feel so much more confident and helped me view myself in a better light. The second and third times I went in, I had Sara Thompson. She's very nice to talk to (- we commiserated about PSU). She cut off about 4 inches, eradicated my split ends, and layered my hair into a light, feathery cut. It felt so nice to get that weight off my head. And most recently, I went in for a maintenance trim and an update on my layers. I tend to be stingy, but the $30 to get my hair (and myself) feeling great 2-3 times a year is worth the price for me. MAGDolls will likely be my go-to salon for the forseeable future.

    The color that Sara did on my hair. I asked for super fiery underneath. I feel like it turned out perfect.

    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.
