Jillian V is new to town and covered for my normal stylist Brianne, as she's on maternity leave. Jillian was super friendly and skilled and owned and ran her own salon for years. I changed my mind about layering a couple weeks after my cut, and she happily fixed it free of charge. super happy with my cut! read more

Caprice did my wife's hair for our wedding and the results came out incredible. She did such a good job of working with her and taking her feedback over the months leading up to the wedding, and the final result was a total knockout. She was also very flexible with her schedule, coming to the house we were getting ready at before the ceremony and giving my wife lots of personal attention. It made her feel very special. Highly recommended! read more

Isabel has been the creative director of my hair since 2016 and if you're looking for someone who has creative vision, technical skills, and is just an all around great person I cannot recommend a better stylist. From my first appointment four years ago when I came in with a collage of wild asymmetrical bowl cut photos, to my current slime green curly mullet, Isabel knows exactly how to bring your inner badass to life via hair. I have a mess of wavy 2b/2c curls which were the literal bane of my existence until Isabel intervened and taught me how to work with my natural texture instead of against it. Thanks to her curl cutting skills I can wash, use one product, air dry while I live my fabulous wavy life instead of fighting with my diffuser for an hour. Isabel is the queen of cool hair. If you're looking for something alternative, avant garde, or even just a little bit of flair, she's got you covered. read more

See all

Caprice is the best! She knows what she's doing and then some! My girls and I love her. read more

It's pretty disappointing that I can't give her 10 stars plus 5 stars will have to do. I loved coming here for my first time and cannot wait to come back! I even have my next appointment set up and all. Caprice is so friendly, so professional and so knowledgeable. I learned a lot while getting my hair done which was cool. Even for some therapy out of it. I am so happy to say that I found my new hairstylist! She truly is a gem folks! read more

I've been having Caprice do my hair for a few years now. And I will never have another stylist touch my hair. It started when I found her online looking for Hair and Makeup Artist for my wedding. I wanted simple but elegant. Caprice listened to me and she then put her knowledge and creativity to work. Her prices are very reasonable and her salon is adorable! Very professional and yet super personable. I feel like our monthly visits are therapy sessions. Ha!! read more

Session Studio - Ombre' lavendar. Caprice did a stunning job!! It was beautiful. - Makeup Artists Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I went and saw Caprice upon recommendation from a coworker who noticed we shared thick coarse hair. I was content with my last stylist of 5 years but was ready for change. Caprice is amazing, she took the time to explain everything about my hair, different treatments and techniques that would enhance my hair and achieve the style I want. She is very warm and easy to talk to while being very professional. Clearly an expert in her craft. The cut and product recommendation made it so I could easy achieve the look I left the salon with in a quick 10minutes before heading out the door. The space is cozy and bright, very clean. I can't want to go back and work on my color. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for Isabel before! She's been doing my hair for over a year now but it feels like more than that. Every session with her feels like an artistic collaboration - I'm able to come with an idea and she makes it a reality. Besides she's great company and we always have fun conversation! It's my first time at session studios but the place is very nice -- cute little studio with free tea and drinks and friendly stylists and customers. Go to Isabel for any of your fantasy color needs! read more

Not only a great place for all hair related needs & wants but exceptional customer service. The locating is perfect, parking easy and all around cool salon I've had Caprice cut and style my hair and it's always amazing. Caprice takes time, listens and is a perfectionist. She has an eye for your individual hair and absolutely knows how to make it work. I can't say enough about my blowout w Isabell today. My hair is perfect and just the way I like it. She did exactly what I like and I couldn't be happier. Isabel is personable and obviously knows her craft. I will be returning. The bottom line? You can't go wrong with either Caprice or Isabell. read more

Session hair salon works magic. The lady behind it all is amazing and talks the language of hair. I've been going to Caprice for just over 11 years now and couldn't imagine going to someone else. She's reinvented me many time! Went there yesterday for my annual birthday hair change and we went totally different. I can tell her what I want with just a few words and she nails it every time. We went short and did color. So happy with it. The salon is adorable and feels like your friend's house. Go to Session! You won't be disappointed. read more

I have been going to Caprice for a little over five years and she is the best. My family has been her clients for hair and have also used her hair/makeup services for weddings and proms. Caprice is like superwoman, i had gotten my eyebrows completely butchered leaving them uneven and crooked. I was horrified and I came to her and she worked each wax to bring them back to normal. I only trust her to work on them ever since. She is a true professional at her craft(s)! This boutique salon is very welcoming with a light and fresh feeling/aesthetic. read more

Session Studio - Makeup Artists Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've been going to Caprice for awesome cuts for about 8 years when I come from NYC to visit my family once or twice a year. I love her cuts so much that I prefer coming here rather than anywhere in NYC. Caprice really works hard to fit someone's personal style and preferences, and she cuts hair differently to suit each person in my whole family. I personally love the texture and angled cuts she does and would trek back way more often if I could! read more

I started coming to Session studio based on a friend's recommendation and I'm so glad I did. Caprice is always honest and realistic about what is possible and maintainable. She helped fix my color after a bad experience and my hair looks great! She's always willing to listen to make sure you get what you came for. read more

Hi, I highly recommend Session Studio for Brazillian Blowouts. Caprice saved my hair. I moved to Portland last year and was going to a different salon in Portland that claimed to be doing Brazillian Blowouts. Well I was wrong--that other studio wasn't doing the full treatment on my hair. Caprice met with me and made an appointment right away to get the situation straightened out. ;) My hair is now back to being straight and lovely. Thank you Session Studio! read more

Caprice is a highly skilled hair wizard whose warm and welcoming presence makes for wonderful company. When I leave Caprice's chair I step into the world with more confidence & there's no question that her collaborative "we're in this together" way of caring for people is a huge part of why I'll always be her client. If you're looking for the best hairstylist, hair colorist, and hair care service you can find at a salon in Portland-- you'll found it at Session Studio! read more

Session Studio - Makeup Artists Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Caprice has cut my hair for over a decade and I've never left with anything less than the best haircut of my life. She's given me pixies, long layers and everything in between. She's honest with what will work for your hair and face shape, so you'll never go in with a picture of your dream haircut and walk out in tears. And she's great at showing you how to style it at home. She also fixed every terrible thing I did to my eyebrows in high school and showed me how to fill them in properly. Now I don't look like I drew them on with a sharpie. read more

Upon entering Session Studio, you are greeted by an exceedingly sophisticated aesthetic. I told Caprice, the owner, "I wanna get married so I can have my wedding photos taken here!" The decor is only a reflection of Caprice Hammon's talent. I went in today for a cut and dye, nervous and excited as I wanted to go from long brown hair to a short balyage style. I have been her client for several years and knew I trusted her with the change. Caprice knows how to listen to what you want while contributing her expert advice and personalizing the experience so as to reach the highest quality service. She communicates as she works, which I love, and is great company in the meantime! As if that wasn't enough, you are treated to coffee, tea, and sparkling water for the ultimate spa like experience :) SO happy and impressed with my hair & the service! For anyone who's looking for a talented stylist, you found her here at Session Studio! read more

I'd absolutely recommend Session to anyone looking for a professional studio with a great vibe. read more

This is a fantastic small hair studio that houses my favorite hair dresser. Caprice is the kind of hair stylist that makes you never want to let anyone else touch your hair. She gets inside the idea of what you want to look like, then helps you figure out a short and long term plan for how your hair can help rock your life. She's never cancelled on me, is always on time and is a joy to spend time with while taking care of my mop. She keeps a cleans studio, plays nice music and has the best nails to scrub my scalp while washing. It just doesn't get any better. You won't regret a visit to this place to get all your good looks needs taken care of. read more

I highly recommend Caprice! She is very smart and knowledgeable. Caprice is skilled at what she does and really listens to what the client wants. As a bonus, she is absolutely lovely to be around! read more

I had an appointment for makeup for a wedding I was attending and Caprice did a marvelous job! I love how I looked and received many compliments at the party. Caprice also provided fashion advice which resulted in my makeup being very appropriate for the outfit and shoes she recommended that I wear for the event. read more

Had a great haircut today- I'm getting married next week and needed a hair cut BAD. I haven't had one in a while and didn't have a dedicated hairdresser close to home. It was a cute place with a nice atmosphere. I saw Jen, who was lovely, and I even got a head massage during the shampoo which was a big plus. She took her time to make things perfect and cut my hair well for my texture. Would recommend! read more

Caprice did my and my wedding attendants' hair. It was a great experience, she made me feel like a queen and did beautiful work on all of us. We had the whole place to relax and prepare for a few hours, and I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. Thanks you Caprice! read more

I have been a client of Caprice for 5 years now. When she opened Session Studio I loyally followed her. She is incredibly professional in how she carries out her business and I always enjoy spending time with her during my appointments. Her skills in hair and makeup are beyond anyone I've ever met. She is full of knowledge and always happy to share. She's not pushy with products or services and just wants to do what she can to make you look your best no matter what your budget is. I can't imagine ever letting anyone else touch my hair. She really is the best. read more

Such an amazing place. Went in to get my hair cut and learned they do waxing, facials and all kinds of things. Clean and professional I will for sure be coming back! read more

I've been going to Caprice for 4 years, prior to that I would try a hairdresser and then come home and "fix" my haircut myself, or just cut my own hair from the start. Caprice will talk through a plan ahead if time to make sure you're on the same page, and does a fantastic job. The studio is bright and clean and I like supporting a local small business. read more

The best in Portland. The atmosphere and service can not be beat. Thank you Caprice for EVERYTHING!
