There is something so special about seeing stylists start as interns and blossom into incredible pros with their own chairs--it tells you everything you need to know about the talent and heart here.

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 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!!

I had to take a moment to rave about Kristina at Before Midnight Hair - she's a true hair wizard…read more Watching Kristina work was like seeing an artist with her favorite canvas. 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.

I have been searching for weeks to find someone who does quality work. I read reviews and rifled…read morethrough social media pics and found Glow Boutique/Sinan. I made my apt online, based on his availability listed, which was great because I work until 5pm. My apt was for 5:15. The confirmation acceptance of my apt came in at 4pm. So I called two days prior to my apt, the receptionist wasn't sure what happened but said 4pm was the latest he could do. This would require me requesting time off from work, but figured it's been SO long since I've had a cut and I'm going out of town, so I'd make it work. I get an email notification the day of my apt, just a few hours before, that my apt was changed to 3:30. I call again, and let them know this doesn't work because I too have a job. The receptionist (a different one this time) checks with Sinan, tells me something came up for him and 3:30 is the latest. I let her know that's wildly unprofessional and it's been a mess from the get-go. There also wasn't anyone else there to pick up the apt. I would not book with someone that changes last minute and doesn't bother calling, let alone offer some sort of apology. It really doesn't matter what sort of work you do, if you flake on clients, let alone new clients. I'm thoroughly disappointed that this is the review I need to leave, and the review I'll be giving anyone that asks me for recommendations for where to go. Two thumbs down. Will not recommend.
