DO NOT let the new girl there touch your dreadlocks!!!!! I attached a photo of her Instagram. I went to her hoping she was actually going to tighten my roots... I paid almost $300 and my whole head of dreads came out 3 days later like I had nothing done to them. I tried contacting her multiple times and she has completely ignored me. I'm am very upset about this I was basically robbed of my money, and now I can't dye them like I was hoping till I fix them. Update: She blocked me from her account and changed her name in IG to @Kaedreadie! Again do not let her do your hair she needs a lot more training before she should be touching anyone's hair for $80 an hr! read more

Ms Jackson's Dreadlocks - Hair Stylists Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Such a ridiculous experience. Made an appointment for a consultation online. Worked all night, came home to freshen up and went to the appointment. Sat in the salon for almost 2 hours while other more professional stylists, who have nothing to do with her salon, apologized repeatedly, offered me beverages and tired to call her for me. When someone finally got a hold of her, Marsha relayed through the lady helping me that the appointment time had changed. News to me. When the lady (who's name I wish I could remember) asked her if she wanted to talk to me, Marsha said no! The sweet lady helping me apologized again and said that Marsha said I could reschedule. Irate, I logged on to my email and saw that shortly after booking my appointment online, she had changed the appointment to an EARLIER time and sent the notification via email! No text. No phone call. Nothing to make sure I had gotten the message. The time would not have worked anyway. Who does that? To add insult to injury, I immediately emailed her, expressing my frustration and several months later, I have YET to hear back from her. Not bothering to talk to a client who had been waiting for almost 2 hours and was still there? Unreal. Not bothering to message or call after that client reached out to you? Insulting. I would rather have let my dreadlocks fall out than ever set foot in her salon again. Fortunately, I have found someone fantastic, more knowledgeable and much more professional (not hard) to take care of my hair. Never again. read more

Marsha personal issues affective her ability to be attentive professiona dreadlogist. I was a client for a year and half. .I have short hair in the back of my head. I request extension about tenth month. I made repeatedly request for the extension. My request for extensions to address the short hair was disregarded. Marsha inability to separate her personal life from her business was a painful experience . The disclosure of other clients conversation was shocking and disturbing. What professional dreadlogist investigate a client dwelling location. I read more

Cant find the place. Gps is taking me in circles. One website has said she has moved locations. No address for the place at all .. The 2000 42nd isnt there anymore if it ever was. Decided to call the number for her posted online for the whole world to see and got a call back being bitched out that i tried to call twice to get an address to the place ? She wanted to know how i got her personal number? Idk bitch its the one posted online for the whole world to see. Very rude. If thats how she treats her customers i dont want an appointment anyways. read more

Just spent the morning with Marsha while she maintenanced my dreads. I am very happy with the work she did, and I definitely recommend you see her for your dreads too! I am still dreaming about the scalp scrub she did and can't wait to go back for another one! She accommodated me and used only products I use (Dr. Bronner's and Apple cider vinegar), but she also has one other product that she uses too if you don't mind. She gave me multiple tips for keeping my dreads happy between visits. I want to put minimal product in my hair and am particular about what I do use, and her suggestions met my requirements! I enjoyed chatting with her and can't wait to go back for my next appointment! Looking at the reviews, I am surprised there aren't more reviews written! I'd imagine other people give Marsha 5s too but just haven't yelped it!! read more

I was very impressed and I'm not very easily impressed and I have difficult hair I've been told to work with I mixed race with medium sized curly Caucasian hair and have been turned away by quite a few salons because they didn't know what to do with my hair. Not at a new salon she knew exactly what to do got to work right away didn't phase her a bed and my hair looks great!! Marshes work truly is as good as it gets! I have been to several people all over California and Portland and by far she does a much better quality job, very thorough, faster & CHEAPER prices. I'll be a customer for life. read more

I still have not seen Marsha since my last incident with her, but I am changing my review.. as we grow we reflect... and I believe this was not all on Marsha! For the times that I had seen her she did amazing work.. best locks in Portland. read more

Do not let Kaelyn, the current apprentice of Ms. Jackson touch your dreads. She claims to run her business off of instagram and directly ignored my and my girlfriends (another client of Kaelyn) very polite messages about our dissatisfaction with her work. And please note, ALL appointments and communication were through Instagram. As soon as realized the work wasn't worth what she was charging us, she stopped replying. She is amateur in her methods and the work she did on 2 separate looked like we never even went to see her not even 48 hours after the appointments. She ignored messages for over a month and even continued to post on her "business" instagram. If she didn't want us as clients anymore, all she had to say was just that. She chose to ignore her customers and even block our accounts and change her instagram handle...(like you can't still see what it is). * @kaedreadie * This is honestly the most unprofessional service I've ever witnessed AND received in my entire life. And if it means anything, this is TRULY my first Yelp review ever....never seen a "business" ran like this. 0 STARS if I could. read more

I was scared of having to find a new stylist when we moved from SoCal to Portland, but I couldn't be happier with Marsha. I've had 2 appointments so far, but I was sold from the first visit. Marsha was great, very knowledgable, and easy to talk to which is great since you are in the chair for a while! She gave me lots of tips for care in between appointments and products that won't mess my hair up. Will be going back and recommending to all! read more

At first I wasn't sure if I could find someone to loc my hair (professionally) that also worked with natural. I came across Nunu dreads and decided to give it a shot. I Just started my locs today (comb coils). Marsha is wonderful and gave me lots of information about how to care for my locs. I'm so excited for my future with my locs read more

I want to thank Marsha officially on this website for taking me under her wing as a newbie to having Dreadlocks. I've only had two days with them but it has been a great treat working with Marsha and I'm looking forward to being part of her dreadlock family. Next post will have a picture. read more

Masha is great!! Do not let the other girl do your hair!!!!! I paid her almost $300 for my dreads and after only a few DAYS most of them came out!!! I then contacted her and haven't gotten a response of when she can fix them. I feel like it was the biggest waste of money I have ever spent on my hair! read more

Just spent 2 hours with Marsha. My hair went from crazy looking to awesome in that time. I had spent 2 hours at another dread salon and hated what they did. For about half the price Marsha fixed their mistake and I'm in love with my hair. And she is quick! Will defiantly be returning! read more

Took a road trip from Long Beach to Portland a couple weeks ago. My dreads were a mess! Decided last minute that i wanted some maintenance done on my babies while i was in Portland. Looked up some places on Yelp and there popped Marsha. Gave her a call and booked an appointment next day. I am so glad that i did! She was awesome! Great person to talk to and my dreads look amazing! Next time i am in Portland i am definitely dropping by! read more

Let me start by saying that this was one of the best hair experiences that I have ever had. Marsha is fantastic! I went to her shop looking a hot mess and came out with starter locs that look fantastic. She educated me, we had great conversation and she's fast. She is my new loctician! read more

I was hoping that the Sisterlocks (micro dreads) Marsha re-attached would stay. They did not, eventually slipping off and so bummer. The only reasons I took off two stars is that she never returned my calls, instead opting for emailing me (which I did not get until after my consult). The consult was a surprising experience. When I showed up, I anticipated a consult to just talk about my options. I showed up on time and had to wait for her to take a 10 minute break from the client she was working to tell me I didn't have enough hair to reattach the Sisterlocks...then she re-attached two locks (I have about 400 on my head) and charged me $15 per lock, during a consult. Within 2 weeks the locks were gone. Marsha is a pleasant person and seems skilled/knowledgeable. I even bought some conditioning spray from her to take my bill up to about $45. I would just rather have known up front what the consult would entail and that was not clear from her website at the time. read more

I've done a complete dread creation (Caucasian using hair extensions!) and ongoing maintenance for quite awhile: I can confidently say Marsha Jackson is absolutely the most knowledgeable, talented, and gracious dreadlocks person in Portland! I've been to other shops multiple times over the years and I would not trust my dreads with anyone but Marsha. She is also a very experienced pioneer and ambassador for truly all natural & product-free hair care; which is rare in the salon industry. She's a joy to talk with and a true blessing to have for awesome and beautiful dreads! Have some people "had a 'bad,' or 'unexpected' experience?" Sure; customers can be wack and make a stink about it, that's nothing new... and honestly I now from time spent with Marsha that she shows even difficult clients a TON of grace! So if you are reading this and deciding on a dread salon: Marsha is the best in Oregon, hands down; in every way!! If you don't believe me ask her how many of here clients have been with her for more than a year and wouldn't go to anyone else; you'll get the picture really quickly. :) read more

I won't have anyone else touch my dreads. I have straight, caucasian hair. I've had other people do my dread maintenance, and it just doesn't last, and also breaks a lot of my hair.

I just moved to Portland and was in need of maintenance. I went to another hair dresser - the experience was a disaster!

She performed a miracle on my locks - an 7 days after my visit, my locks are still in excellent shape. Additionally Marsha's rates are very reasonable and she is an awesome person :) Don't go anywhere else! read more
