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!!

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.

Let me tell you: MISH KNOWS HAIR! I went in with some ideas of what I wanted my hair to look like, and she went with some of my ideas that she thought might work, and gently steered me away from others that would have been disastrous. She gave me styling tips along the way, told me what to expect when I try to style my own hair in the coming weeks, incorporated what she gathered about my lifestyle and fashion sense into her choice of cut for me and then proceeded to give me an impeccable hair cut that turned heads from the minute I walked out the salon doors. I have never been happier with my hair! She is a busy lady with a large and loyal clientele so if you make the smart decision to obtain her services, be prepared to wait a few weeks to see her knowing it will be worth it!

She's very unprofessional, and rude.

Then it was time for touch up on my extensions and during conversation again in text discussing this she quoted price different from previously quoted price. When i asked questions inquiring about this and asking how long appointment would be so i can schedule care for my 7yr old not knowing how long this would take, she snapped texting me telling me she recently fixed her mother's home health insurance and no longer needed to kiss any clients ass. She continued by disrespecting me telling me not to come to my appointment and then had audacity to continue texting telling me she found someone else i can see that has a ad on craigslist that works out garage. I have all of the texts i wish i could post the screenshots as it is so unbelievable but TRUE! i started my first appointment with her spending almost 1000$ and saw her many many times every month for 4 months spending hundreds during every visit to keep working on my hair to get it right. The first day i left the tape extensions she used were visible to others as people pointed it out, very embarrassing. But once i started kind felt stuck as i had already invested 1000$. I work way to hard, and doing This was a very unnecessary luxury that I spoiled myself with so that I would feel better about myself being that I hated my fine short hair like I did that to be treated like this is just unspeakable I Kindly told her I wish her the best and whatever is going on in her life to make her a treat somebody the way that she treated me I hope that it gets better

I want to take a moment to share my extensions install experience at Thairapy PDX because it has…read moregenuinely been transformative for me, both physically and emotionally. First, Lyndsay, the owner, is truly something special. I came to her in real pain from poorly sized/placed bonds done elsewhere, feeling discouraged and honestly afraid to trust anyone with my hair again. Lyndsay stepped in with so much compassion, care, and expertise. She listened, validated my concerns, and fixed the issue with an incredible level of skill. The end result was the most comfortable and stunning set of Great Lengths extensions I've ever had. I have very challenging hair: texture issues, thin density at the ends, and persistent frizz. Lyndsay handled it with confidence and precision. She is a true expert, but what sets her apart even more is her heart. She's a woman's woman in the best way: deeply compassionate, invested in her clients, and clearly someone who treats her stylists with respect and care. Because of that trust, she thoughtfully transitioned me to Makayla, and I couldn't be more grateful. Makayla is an absolute gem. She has taken the time to really learn my hair, understand its challenges, and ensure that every appointment leaves me comfortable, pain-free, and happy. I come in for continuous blowouts (at least bi-weekly) and regular move-ups, and the consistency and professionalism I experience every single time speaks volumes. Makayla has an incredible way of making me feel seen and pretty. I don't fit the conventional beauty mold by any means, but I leave her chair feeling confident, cared for, and genuinely uplifted. That kind of experience doesn't happen by accident--it's clearly the result of strong mentorship, encouragement, and a healthy salon culture fostered by Lyndsay. I also want to gently address some of the mixed reviews I've seen online. As someone who frequents the salon regularly, I find many of those statements confusing and contradictory to everything I've personally witnessed. This is a dynamic, professional team that tackles challenges head-on and fixes issues when they arise. There is accountability here, and most importantly, a clear commitment to clients. Though I am in no means discrediting what someone else has experienced or felt, my experience has been nothing less than exemplary. If you're someone who has difficult hair, doesn't "fit the mold," or has been burned before and is scared to try again, I cannot encourage you enough to book a consultation. This salon is a place of support, trust, and real expertise. I love being here, I love these women, and I'm so grateful to have found a team that truly cares.

I'm not sure where to start!!…read more My whole experience with Thairapy has been absolutely incredible! My first consultation appointment was concise and clear, with Lyndsay doing an incredible job to ensure I felt comfortable me with the differences between each extension type, and making sure that the pricing was incredibly transparent. I have never had extensions before and was definitely a little nervous, especially being nonbinary and going for a more stereotypically femme look, but every interaction has made me feel respected and valued. During the extension process Lyndsay was so kind and crazy quick! I get daily migraine and Lyndsay was kind enough to turn off the lights in the salon for me at one point when it was just the two of us which was SO nice! Afterwords, Lyndsay followed up to ensure I felt good about the length and amount of hair we had added which helped me feel so confident in my decision! With the combination of amount of length I added with the variety of color in my natural hair, my extensions could have ended up a bit wild! But Lyndsay crushed it to an extent I didn't realize was possible! My own family was amazed by how natural the extensions look! I decided to go in an get a blowout after a couple of weeks, and was paired with the amazing Kayda! With my health I often have trouble sitting still and getting my hair washed can definitely hurt occasionally, but the experience with both Kayda and Lyndsay was AMAZING! Kayda did an incredible job with my hair and I felt like such royalty!

After nearly 4 years w/ my previous stylist, I had much trepidation of finding someone new. Perhaps…read moreI got complacent. One thing I did know was that I was tired of having my roots dyed. I naturally have natural blonde roots and grays, both I love and wished my previous stylist embraced that versus always telling I HAD to dye it to cover it all up. :( I kept asking for a base bump but it never happened. I found Cristy on instagram & fell in love with her work (CristyJeanHair - check out her awesome gallery there). When I met Cristy for a consultation I told her my situation and how I am tired of dying my base. She totally agreed with me and knew exactly how to remedy the situation. She looked at my eye color and my skin tone and decided on exactly what blonde tones would be best for me. I should mention I had 4 months of growth at this point. So my natural roots were ALL out, baby! haha! I had a mess in the back as well with a hard copper band and only partial highlights. Ugh! It wasn't pretty. But Cristy cleaned all that up as well. I was so impressed with Cristy's professional knowledge. She is incredibly talented and yet incredibly humble and modest at the same time. She listens so well which is such an important trait to possess in a stylist. Even for my haircut I just told her I wanted a cleaning up dustying and NO razor. I like traditional layered cut since I have curly hair and that's exactly what she delivered. Yay! Cristy also told me she always booking more classes to further her education and continually hone her already mad skills. Love that!! Needless to say I am very happy with my cut and color We did a base bump with toner and it looks fantastic. Been wanting a base bump since I left LA 4 years ago. So happy to get back to that. Very very grateful to have found Cristy. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. :)

Cristy is an incredibly talented hair artist and all-around awesome woman! She brings a level of…read moreenthusiasm to her work that clearly demonstrates she loves what she does and is an expert in her craft. She truly cares about giving her clients a great experience, whether you're getting a fresh balayage, natural beaded row extensions, or a simple cut and color - she'll leave you looking & feeling like a queen! She has a passion for getting to know her client's stories and loves seeing their glowing confidence in not just how they look, but how they feel after leaving her chair. My Extensions Story: My natural hair is very fine and is extremely slow growing. I've always dreamed of having long, thick hair and after seeing Cristy's work on Instagram, I fell in love with the seamless look of natural beaded row extensions. I knew that getting extensions would be an investment, but my other concern was that I considered myself a low maintenance girl and questioned whether I was "fabulous enough" to rock the mermaid hair of my dreams. After a consultation, I decided to move forward, and I can confidently say that this was one of the best things I ever did for myself! My daily routine didn't provide a lot of time to style my hair in the mornings. My favorite thing about having extensions was the fact that I could roll out of bed and with minimal effort, head out the door with a fully styled look that took less than 10 mins to freshen up. Having extensions provided a confidence boost in my appearance, but I didn't realize that confidence would carry over to so many other areas of my life as well. I am so thankful I entrusted Cristy to make my hair dreams come true.

Located in the Pearl District, this space is sleek, industrial-chic, and home to some of the most talented stylists in the Pacific Northwest.

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.
