I spent weeks researching someone in the Portland metro area who could take on lifting my natural…read morelevel 2/3, box dyed hair to a level 6 rich brunette without hesitation, and found Micha. Reading her reviews got me excited, and during our consultation, she explained her enzyme-based lifting process that avoids bleach and keeps hair health intact. She took the time to deeply analyze my hair, and set aside extra time during the appointment to adjust as she went since she was undoing months of box color and old faded highlights. Micha gave me a beautiful, lived-in, blended cinnamon chocolate balayage specifically designed to grow out naturally so I wouldn't need touch-ups every few months. She also did a dry cut using unique techniques I loved. In terms of final styling, I love a full bouncy, smooth blowout with a round brush, and am particular about the technique (needs to be sectioned out fully with each section pulled with a lot of heat and tension), so I did end up restyling it at home to my own liking, but that's just me. What she created with my color and cut though was exactly what I wanted. Beyond her skill, Micha is a true creative, full of spunk and confidence with the wildest stories. If you need things done a very specific way and aren't open to a creative approach, she may not be your person. But she knows exactly what she's doing, and you just need to let her do her thing. You're getting a thoughtful perfectionist who will make you feel completely new again!

Anita saved my bacon years ago, when I left her for a cheaper cut using a Groupon, and, because karma, my hair was botched. Anita fixed my hair at no cost, and I have stuck with her since. She came to Kennedy School to do my hair for my wedding and did my entire bridal party with nothing but professionalism. I highly recommend Avalon Salon. Anita is always willing to stay late for me and just got me in on a moment's notice when I'm sure she would have rather gone home to enjoy the beautiful weather.

Whitney is absolutely the best hair stylist ever. I am so delighted that I found here (here on…read moreYelp!). I have been to her just once (time to go again soon) and she gave me a perfect cut first time out. The texture and fall of my hair had changed over the last couple of years due, I think, to heavy meds I was taking during a medical issue. The meds went but the soft waviness was gone as well, until Whitney! She is amazing, you can't go wrong... she knows hair, listens to what you say, and creates magic on your head!

You know when you really love your stylist and you don't think that anyone else will ever compare? That's where I was at. I searched Yelp to find someone close to me that knew how to cut hair for people with thick and wavy hair. I found Whitney and made an appointment. I sat down and explained that I wanted to chop off about 14 inches, and have a "wash and wear" hairstyle that was just above my shoulders. What she gave me far exceeded my expectations! She gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever gotten in my life. Not only that, but she was full of energy and fun to be around. If you're looking for a major change, or just need a new stylist, I highly recommend Whitney.

I had cut some before, but needed even more cut because of the condition of my hair. She immediately noticed the damage caused by the other salon. My hair grows really slowly too, it will be years before it's back to normal, but I had no choice to get rid of a lot. She did her best to cut layers to make the damage a bit less noticeable. She really listened to me about what I wanted. My roots are long now because it's been a long time, but I am not mentally ready to color yet. If I do, it will be with Cami.

Yesterday I decided to do something a little different from my usual cut. This was also my first time coloring my hair that didn't include buying a box from the store. It's hard for me to trust hair stylist because sometimes I feel like my hair has a mind of its own. So deciding to go back to Cami is a big deal for me. Cami listened to me and took time to talk through how the cut will go and also asked my opinion on things along the way. I absolutely love my color and cut. I received so many compliments at work today and I feel great as well. I will definitely be going back to Cami for all my hair needs.

I can never tell what my hair looks like until I actually leave due to the ancient fluorescent lighting. Jill, aka miracle worker, has been doing my hair for a few years. I went through that spell of bad stylist after bad stylist (even in the trendy hipster salons of Portland) until I found her and haven't looked back. She has knocked every insane request of mine out of the park even if it took a booking or two to get there. I've went from bronde to blonde, near white, then back to my current more natural highlighted light brown as seen in the attached picture, which I adore! She is upfront with expectations, affordably priced (girl... RAISE THOSE PRICES!), she is unreal at balayage/blended highlights and my cuts are always spot on. If you're looking to finally find that hair artist who gets it, book with Jill. I always look forward to catching up with her at my appointments. She's a gem.

I've been a client of Kari (and Dosha) since 2017 and felt compelled to give this review. I had…read morepreviously liked what Kari did with my hair (full deep brown highlights on a bi-yearly basis). Her quality of service has been diminishing for some time, but my recent experience has led me to write this review. I came in to get my hair colored before my wedding about two weeks ago, which I truly regret. After asking Kari for essentially the same treatment as we've always done, she used a new color mix, barely colored my hair, and charged me $200+ (despite me showing her multiple pictures). Kari has done my hair at least 15 times, so this was very surprising. My sense is that she just got lazy and stopped listening as I was a long term client. She then offered me a redo, which I accepted. Unfortunately, she rushed through the entire redo, heating my hair excessively to lighten it, to the point of it becoming very brassy. I have dark black hair without color in it, so this is very contrasting with my natural tone. When I requested a refund (after two appointments where Kari did not listen to what I was looking for), the salon informed me that because I requested a refund I could no longer be a client at this salon (refunds are against their policy, supposedly). My bachelorette party is in two weeks and my wedding is in 2 months, and Kari and the staff's lack of attention to quality has created a lot of unnecessary stress for me. Thankfully, I was able to find an alternate salon to clean up Kari's mess. Kari is a master stylist, so for someone at her level to provide such poor service says a lot about the entire salon. Overall, the lack of emphasis on quality is something not worth paying $200+ for at this business. On top of the coloring service, the team was truly unprofessional in the way they handled this situation. 0/10 stars, and buyer beware.
