Darcy is the best! I had given up on ever having good hair until Darcy rescued me! I love every cut and color she's given. I was recently away for 4 months, but my haircut kept looking great at every stage of growth. Also, Darcy's quiet welcoming salon, the care with which she massages your head as she washes your hair; it's a welcome respite! read more

I am so glad I found Darcy on Yelp! I was looking for a salon that does online booking which I prefer over calling around and her salon does that plus it has great reviews. I filled out a questionnaire and sent photos (I even got a choice of having the shop dog in the room at the time) and this was all a great experience. Darcy listened to what I wanted and she analyzed my hair and my hairline and told me what she thought. I agreed and it came out perfect. I am very happy with the layers and the cut that I received. The salon is also very relaxing. The decor has a cozy feel and not "sterile". The relaxing music and comfy chairs made this wonderful. I highly recommend Canvas PDX if you want the full attention of a great hairstylist and also great company. read more

The service, quality and vibe of the salon are all excellent!! I've recommended Darcy to all my friends and clients.

Darcy led the charge as I transitioned from colored to my natural grey color. I so appreciated her attention to detail and support during that time. Since then she has continued cut my naturally grey hair in compliment receiving styles. Thanks so much! read more

I've been seeing Darcy for over 18 years now (might have lost count!). I enjoy her personalized service in her own salon. She is talented and her customer service is impeccable which I so appreciate in today's climate. She does an amazing job with color and cuts and always keeps up on the latest techniques. I love that she keeps it real and always gives me an honest opinion. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Darcy is AMAZING. Extensions, color, cuts, and a side of compassion. She's great. Go see her. I promise you will be thrilled with her work. read more

See all

The bar is set so high with Darcy. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness was so new (to me) and appreciated. My dermatologist referred me to Darcy saying she specialized in thin hair. I already had a hairdresser at that time, but when she retired after 7 yrs I took the plunge and pulled out Darcy's business card. Before our appointment, Darcy texted to confirm and asked what my hair was like (I offered some pictures). When I arrived Darcy already had a theory for a haircut that'd best suit my hair health and taste (which she so thoughtfully guessed right from my photos). I didn't have much hair at our first appointment (yo Rogaine seriously works) but Darcy made me feel like a long haired queen. Beyond the excellent haircut, she gave me tips on how to function with thin hair that I never heard of. Also unbeknownst to me, it turns out I have naturally wavy hair, go figure! The wet hair tips for styling wavy hair were new to me and appreciated. For these conversations alone I'd pay for her time. And the cherry on top of it all was her post-haircut text asking how things were going. I don't recall anyone ever checking in once things (beauty related services) were done and paid for - I found that so considerate and caring. As for the haircut (recall I have thin hair) I've forever had the same cut + style and no one knew the difference. Whatever sorcery Darcy had done up there has invited me into the world of "I love your hair" - and me too, I've never loved my hair so much. 10 outta 10! read more

Darcy has been my stylist since I moved to Portland a year and a half ago. She really listens to what I want and is honest with her feedback on if it will work with my hair or not. I've gone from blonde to lavender grey, to purple and back to blonde and my hair looks and feels healthy. She's very attentive, listens, plays good music, keeps me hydrated and makes me laugh. I'm so happy I found her. read more

Darcy came to our hotel to do bridal and bridal party hair. Everyone was so happy how everything turned out, and when I was having problems communicated exactly how I wanted my hair to look, she was patient and took the time to help me get it just exactly how I was picturing it in my head. Darcy offered to put in extensions, and they added just the right about of volume and length to real turn a pretty hairdo, into something wedding-worthy! I'm so happy with how everything went that day, and I'm sure all the women will appreciate that feeling confident about your hair can really help a great day become and amazing day! read more

I've been going to Darcy for years and continue to be impressed with her creativity and energy. Each time she cuts or colors my hair she helps me decide what would be best. I have thinning hair, and her masterful cuts allow me to optimize the appearance of it without a load of products or a demanding styling regimen. But her true genius is color. No exaggeration, people have expressed surprise repeatedly that my hair is colored because the shades and blends are so natural. I highly recommend you give Darcy a try. read more

I have been so blessed to have found Darcy as my stylist! I have thick, "what can I do with my hair", and Darcy is the first stylist, that has help me embrace my hair for what it is! She has so much knowledge and experience, and it shows by how she cuts my hair. She is honest and compassionate when I say "I want my hair to do this" and she says, "Well, your hair grows like this, soooo...". :) I have been seeing Darcy for 3 years now and she is the only stylist for me! I have lived overseas and have had, many different stylists, but not someone who has such knowledge and skill! She listens to you, and makes you more beautiful! I am so blessed to have found Darcy! read more

Darcy is the absolute best! Both her color and cut/style skills are top-notch. She's so amazing, in fact, that my hair color and ends were still good after not having been in her chair for over five months because of the pandemic. She really listens to her clients and gives honest, straightforward advice, then follows up with outstanding service. Even her online booking is the easiest I've ever dealt with. I cannot recommend her enough. read more

Darcy saved me from one of the most devastating hairstyles of my life. I had previously had my hair bleached to the point of being fried by another stylist. My sister recommended that I see Darcy after this, and thankfully she knew exactly what to do for me! Even though eventually I had to cut all of my hair off, Darcy gave me an extremely adorable pixie cut that I fell in love with and she has been extremely helpful in the process of revitalizing my hair and making it healthy again. I appreciate her endlessly!!! read more

Darcy was incredibly welcoming and attentive - she went above and beyond to understand my hair goals while simultaneously sharing her perspective and experience. I visited her after my previous stylist opted to pursue other adventures and was a bit apprehensive about trying something new. She immediately put me at ease, offering both her honest feedback and a game plan to get my hair where I want it. I cannot wait for my next appointment... and my hair has never looked better or felt healthier. read more

I've been seeing Darcy as a stylist for 17 + years. Her new space is amazing, cozy and personal! She is always up to date on the latest trends and listens to what I want. I have tricky hair as its curly and unruly! She knows how to cut it so it looks stylish and gives me tips to style it at home. Sometimes I just let her do her thing and she doesn't disappoint. I always get compliments on my hair! She's also done my hair for a few events - parties, benefits etc. and my hair looked amazing. Not something I could pull off at home. Whether its everyday hair or fancy hair she can do it! She also does great makeup to go with it! read more

Darcy is amazing! She goes above and beyond to ensure my hair is everything that I envisioned it to be. Her service is 5 star and I couldn't of asked for a better hairstylist! I swear I brought her a picture of what I wanted and she brought it to life. Thank you so much Darcy! read more

Darcy....I can't thank you enough for rescuing me from a devastating bad hair cut....because of you I can leave my house...even in Malibu no one could tell I had extensions and was told on several occasions that your work is of the highest quality compared to their celebrity clients....again ty read more

Every day cut to special event up-do. Darcy definitely knows how to find a style that suits your needs as well as your look. She has been cutting my hair for almost 10 years now, and has taught me what styles best complement the shape of my face & neck. I've been through all styles, long and short, bangs and all. She guarantees her cuts and will make sure you are happy with how it looks. Darcy has a fabulous creative flare which especially shines through in special event creative dos. She has done my hair as both bride and bridesmaid and I couldn't have been more pleased. read more

Darcy is a new stylist for me; I'm older (in my 50's) and have enjoyed hair extensions for a few years. The first time I met Darcy, she spoke a "hard truth" to me when she told me that I needed to quit coloring my hair and instead embrace the beauty of my silver hair. Wow. I was so unprepared to hear that! But then, as she continued, she told me that the constant coloring of my hair was weakening and breaking my hair, making it even more difficult to live with. Yes! All true! I was interviewing hair stylists, as the one in my rural town (2 hours away from Portland), was not doing a good job for me. I interviewed a total of 5 hair stylists, and decided at the end that Darcy told me what was best for me, not what I wanted to hear (what I wanted was my 25 year old dark hair back!) All good information from Darcy. I've had extensions put in, and 2 months later, taken out and put in again. I love Darcy. She helps us. Plain and simple. If having beautiful hair matters to you, you need to see Darcy. She's a gem! read more
