I've been going to Visible Changes for 20 years (when the Salon was located at the Red Lion on Jantzen Beach). Now it is centrally located in Vancouver with easy access off I-205 and they have lots of free, off street parking. The owner, Maryjo (also my stylist) only invites highly experienced, top notch, well educated stylist to join her salon. All the stylist continue to attend hair shows and receive continuing education, keeping up to date on the latest styles, techniques, and trends. The stylist mentioned in the previous review was very short term and has been gone a year or more, and it's unfortunate that he should have blemished the wonderful reputation of this very professional salon. Whether you're looking for great color, hi-lights, a subtle cut or a completely different style, I can say with the utmost of confidence that Visible Changes is the perfect choice. They provide a NO COST, NO OBLIGATION consultation, giving you the opportunity to meet the stylist, hear what they would suggest, and tell you what the service would cost. By the way, the cost of services is commensurate with any shop in Vancouver or Portland that offers quality services. The salon is very clean and orderly, comfortably decorated and all equipment is clean and well-maintained. There is plenty of room between stations so you don't feel as though the person in the next station is on top of you. They sell a full selection of hair products, very reasonably priced for your convenience only. (no hard sells, just suggestions). If I sound biased, I am. I think Visible Changes is one of the finest salons in this area offering upscale services at affordable prices. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Maryjo, you're the absolute best!! read more

This is hands down the worst experience I have ever had at a salon. I asked for curtain bangs, but Esther left me looking like Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber. Both the cut and color turned out horrible. When I brought it to management's attention, their response was simply, 'Bangs are tricky, you'll just have to wait for them to grow out.' I thought stylists went to school to master these techniques. Completely unprofessional, I do not recommend Esther or this salon! read more

I've been a loyal client of Visible Changes Salon for over 20 years, and I can't say enough great things about this place! I originally saw MaryJo, who was absolutely fantastic, and when Jackie started her own business within the salon, I made the switch--and she is simply amazing! Jackie always nails my color, and I constantly get compliments on it. I've recommended her--and the salon--to anyone and everyone looking for top-tier hair care. One of the things I love most is how knowledgeable and friendly all the stylists are. They're always continuing their education, staying up to date with the latest products, techniques, and trends. It really shows in their work and in the overall atmosphere of the salon. If you're thinking of trying Visible Changes, don't hesitate--you will not be disappointed! read more

I love Visible Changes and my hairstylist Jackie! She's amazing at keeping my hair in great shape; I get so many compliments on my hair from people wherever we travel. I know they're hoping she's local to them and she'll be able to transform their style, too. read more

I've been going to Mary Jo at Visible Changes for 4 years now and I couldn't be happier! She consistently does an amazing job, whether it's a cut, color, or styling, I always leave feeling confident and refreshed. Plus the atmosphere of the salon is welcoming and relaxing, and I genuinely look forward to every appointment. Highly recommend! read more

Kelly Martini at Visible Changes is an excellent hair stylist! She really listened when we had our consultation and she completely understood some concerns I had about my hair. She gave me a great hair cut, and gives a relaxing scalp massage with her shampoo. She styled it using a round brush and blow dryer which gave my hair great body and a nice curl to it. Kelly was very professional and I recommend her if you are looking for a haircut. I haven't had her color my hair yet I have seen her work on her Instagram and it looks great. Another thing she did great was that I only wanted an inch off the length and that's what she did! I feel like sometimes I will ask for less off and I get a 4 inch haircut instead, but not with Kelly, she didn't go "scissors happy". She really listened and delivered. I'm very happy with my haircut! read more

Lived going to get a haircut with Martha however she is not there. I sure hope she comes back soon.

I followed my fabulous beautician, Jennifer Buckner to Visible Changes Salon. This salon is clean and everyone is very friendly. Jennifer has seen me through many hairstyles and color changes. For the last year I've been having her bleach my hair out to a very bright blonde, so I can play with fun colors. Jennifer alway goes above and beyond to make sure that my hair is not just beautiful but healthy. You would never know that I've been bleaching my hair for a year. She is a color goddess and I highly recommend her! - Rachel read more

I highly recommend Jennifer for anything hair-related, especially for fashion colors! I followed Jennifer to this salon. Jennifer listens to what you want and will politely and professionally explain the pros and cons of what you are looking for and give great recommendations for your style, complexion, face shape, color longevity, etc. I have never left her chair feeling anything other than happy with my hair. Jennifer has done multiple fashion colors, balayage, weaved highlights, color corrections, and more to my hair and has explained everything she was doing and how to take the best care of my hair at home to keep it looking fabulous for as long as possible. I recently took my nine-year-old niece to see Jennifer as she wants to dabble in high fashion colors like her Aunty, and she left so ecstatic and in love with her hair. She has changed her dream job goal from following her Aunty's footsteps to doing what Jennifer does, being a bomb a** beautician. I'd give Jennifer 10 stars if I could!! read more

This is a review on their product sales. I came in randomly to buy a certain brand of hair care products that is hard to find. Stylist/owner had the product behind her station and brought it up to me. Made the sale, got the bottles home and looky-here, the conditioner has been opened and used. Yep, it's gummy around the lid and about 1" less in the bottle, as compared to the shampoo. I would've liked to emailed them about it-- I'm not going to make a special trip for $1's worth of shampoo, but they should know that some of their product is not new. Their website has a lot of info, an 800-number (?), but no email contact! I thought that was sorta old-school, eh? If I were looking for a salon, I would not personally pick this place. I did take a menu with me to be polite, but the place has a vibe for older clientele (a plus, if you like shades of auburn). Lighting seemed a little poor for a salon. It was loud in there with lots of conversations in a small space, competing with dryers. Visually not relaxing, either. Everywhere I looked, it was cluttered with kitschy knick-knacks. They seem to be doing a good business, but not geared towards me! read more

Great salon. Very friendly and knowledgeable stylists. Kelly did a great job on my cut and color! Using her professional experience and my personal preferences it turned out great! I look forward to returning. read more

Would be less, but it was partly my fault in not complaining when I was there. The guy who cut my hair was friendly, but exceedingly over-talkative. He never shut up. Further - it was all about how great he was. Also about his drug use back in the day, how all his hair is natural due to his heritage.. it was all about him. Incessantly about him. Had he done my hair properly or well I could have lived with that. I could even have lived with him calling me 'Miss Kathy' everytime he could draw a breath... but he did a lousy job. He 'undercut' my fine, thin hair - leaving it scraggly, fly-away and even thinner and cut it with a razor - which he explained would make my hair look thicker - but which basically split the ends to kingdom come. I will never go back. read more

I have super fine, hard to cut hair and I'm extremely picky. I've had both Mary Jo and Jackie and they cut it perfectly!! I've never been happier, and I have tried lots of different stylists. They are thorough and take the time and pay the needed attention to get it perfect. You won't find anyone better anywhere. read more

Jackie is the best hands down. She cuts mine and our sons hair. Everyone is super friendly and will go out of their way to make you feel fantastic. They always have recommendations on products to use and have special ordered things for my wife who is also a client. Dont even get me started on how amazing Jackie does her hair color. read more

Love, love, love Visible Changes! I always come out after an appt feeling like I've never looked better. They take time to ensure they know what you want before they do anything. I've never had a bad cut and continue to get raves everywhere I go about how good my hair looks. read more

I've been going to Mary Jo for years! She does my hair cuts and color beautifully. Love her! I highly recommend this salon, they will treat you well and you will be happy. read more

I have been a client of Visible Changes for over 12 years. The staff is friendly and accommodating and very professional. My hair is very fine and Jackie does a great job texturizing it and offering products to make it easier to style. Jackie also offers hair cuts AND waxing so it's one stop grooming for me! No need to have to go to another salon to get my eyebrows waxed. I often get asked where I get my hair cut and I always have a stash of business cards to hand out. I highly recommend Visible Changes. read more

I came here with my 6yr old daughter to get my nails done. When I walked in I was greeted by everyone and felt a really warm vibe. The salon is beautiful and the staff are so friendly. Meghan was so patient and good with my daughter while still paying close attention to detail while doing my nails. She did everything by hand and not once was I worried or hurt. I had previously gotten acrylics done at a different salon and my nails hurt badly for a few days after. I feel no pain at all after Meghan did my new set and the color/design is so unique and personalized that you won't find another set like them. I have already received so many compliments on my nails and I have recommended Meghan and the whole salon a lot. I will definitely be back! read more

Mary Jo has been my stylist since I was 12 years old (I'm 38 now). That's a long time! I've tried a few other people due to moves, work schedule etc. over the years but I always come back to Visible Changes. Now my husband and children are her clients. She's become like family. She's incredibly talented and always a joy to see. I love the location of the salon right off of 205. They have great stylists, a fun atmosphere and reasonable prices. read more
