Thanks Steven! Decided to get my hair dyed in Portland. It was really fun chit chatting and having a good balayage after the fact! Gave Steven full control of how my hair looked as his canvas and was a great choice! Pro tip: ask Steven about chi gong! Parking is a pain in this area. Meters everywhere. Oranj is also a small clothing shop. read more

Tamara needs to sharpen her listening skills. I walked in with photos of me in my requested cut and walked out with quite a different look. Scissor crazy? Yes. All I needed were hot rollers to complete the bubble cut look of the '60s. Not what I was going for. It's going to be 3 years for my hair to grow out enough to approximate the style I was going for. Furious? Yes, but mostly horrified by her lack of consideration for me. read more

I had a scalp treatment, hair cut, and color with Melinda and it was uh-maaaazing. Melinda recently migrated north and landed at Oranj and her decades long hair experience made the whole appointment feel effortless. I'm always indecisive about my hair but she listened to my concerns and my desires and she really delivered. I like my length but my curls were falling flat so she gave me some layers that added the bounce I desperately needed. I also am struggling with postpartum hair loss and she recommended a scalp treatment which was relaxing and made my hair feel alive again. I wanted a pop of color but nothing too wild because I have some weddings coming up and of course I was concerned about my hair thinning. We added a soft reddish brown around my face and she eased my worries by keeping the color off of my scalp. Overall, my hair is feeling alive and is finally thriving. Also the space was well curated with a great selection of records, an intriguing collaborative art display, a cute second hand retail shop in the back, and plenty of things to sip on during our long appointment. The Oranj salon owners were also in the studio and they were so sweet and welcoming. I'll definitely be back! read more

I've lived in many different cities and had lots of different hairstylists. This salon is by far the best quality cut I've received. Steven and Tamara are both amazing. I have even convinced my boyfriend, who previously only got his hair cut at budget hair salons, to go because he noticed how amazing the cuts were and has not gone back. We both love going to this salon! read more

Audrey did a great haircut on my very straight hair! I cut my hair from long to a short bob cut and I was a little wary of trying out someone new. My hair is very straight so it is imperative that the person cutting my hair knows what they are doing. I'm very pleased with the result! After washing my hair it takes very little to style and it falls in place nicely. I know she took extra time to make sure the cut looked good. Thank you Audrey! read more

I loved my haircut I also loved my stylist !! She made me feel very warm and welcomed. Her name was Britney ! The salon is super cute and close to home. The vibe is really modern and clean. The art work is a gorgeous touch. My haircut is not the easiest as well as I'm a little picky but Britney did a great job and she gives the best head massages ! Would highly recommend ! read more

I am thrilled with the haircut I got from Amita. I usually default to expertise of the stylist but I do have my preferences. I think Amita sensed it. Not only did we talk about the look I was going for she actually moved pieces of hair around to simulate the look I was hoping to achieve. It helped tremendously. She spent the time to make sure I was satisfied with the outcome. I bounded out of the salon feeling better than I have in a long, long time. I would highly recommend Amita! The salon itself is great. From the very welcomed glass of wine upon arrival to the massaging shampoo chairs, it was like a mini spa retreat I never knew I needed! read more

Mikey Denton is such a great person and an amazing barber/stylist/hairdresser. I can sit down and fully trust him to give me the best version of what works for me, my style and head shape. Keep it up! read more

I'd always had a great experience at Oranj until recently. And now that Cassandra and Kevin are at Window Wall on SE 11th, I see no reason to return. The thing is, I like to leave my options open when it comes to salons in town (you never know when you'll have a hair emergency and need a place ASAP!), but after my last interaction with the owner, I don't see how I could go back. On Wednesday, Jan 2, I called them with some feedback to help them. I felt they should know they were doing something that made them look bad -- sending out appointment cancellation notices that were worded poorly with regards to Cassandra's leaving. I called because I gave them the benefit of the doubt - they probably didn't realize how the computer was generating the txt and I wanted them to know they looked unprofessional. Rather than thanking me for bothering to inform them politely of their faux pas, the owner got defensive, implied that the txt's wording was intentional, and was generally not open to hearing the feedback. It'd be like notifying someone that they're walking around with toilet paper stuck to their shoe and in stead of their saying, "oh my gosh, I'm embarrassed but boy am I glad you told me!," the response was, "it's the bathroom's fault and who are you to tell me what my shoes should look like?" That's not the kind of customer service I'm looking for. read more

It takes a lot for me to write a review on Yelp, more so a positive review. I have had every single bad experience with hair salons you can think of, so I was super hesitant to make an appointment in the first place. I'll just start off by saying that the atmosphere and people are so laid back and welcoming. Everyone is so unique and makes the atmosphere and experience that much better! I called last minute to get in for cut and color, and they got me scheduled same day which was awesome. When you arrive, you are given a drink menu and have your choice of a complimentary beer, glass of wine, water, or tea. I honestly felt like my stylist listened to everything I said, and took it all in to consideration. Another bonus is the chairs at rinse sinks are massage chairs, which is paired with the best scalp massage ever! They use products that are not tested on animals, and they don't use 1,000 things in your hair to get you to buy their products. Nothing more frustrating than getting home and showering and trying to do what the stylist did...but not having ANY of the billion products they used. I would highly recommend making an appointment with any stylist there. They are all extremely talented! read more

I've been seeing Tamara now for 8 years, and I plan to continue seeing her as long as she's in the business. She is sweet, engaging, funny, warm and incredibly talented. When I arrive, she hugs me and gives me wine. Who wouldn't like that? She's also remarkably consistent; I've never had a bad haircut. She encourages me to try new things each time I go in, and I'm always pleased with the result. I've probably referred 20 people to Tamara over the years and they've all adored her and what she's done with their hair. Oranj Studio's services aren't cheap, but you most certainly get what you pay for. Tamara vets her stylists and staff very carefully, and they're worth every penny. Getting my hair done at Oranj always feels like a mini-vacation, rather than something I have to cross off my to-do list. I look forward to it every time. read more

Steven gives dream hair every time and Tamara is so sweet! Been going here 4 years and hope I never have to find anywhere else.

Absolutely my favorite salon, hands down! Have seen Tamara, Cassandra & Steven. Consistently received excellent service & care with each expert (and with Missy, who schedules each visit : ). Will not be trying anywhere else now that I've found the perfect place. Not only is the salon beautifully kept but it is also an art gallery! + there's Captain & those massage chairs... !! No other place like it in Oregon. Definitely a special experience. read more

Oranj Studio - Love my usual treatment of toner & wave styling. Thank you, Steven! - Hair Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Everything about Oranj is awesome. The space, the people, and especially how you feel when you leave. I have seen both Tamara and Steven and I trust them entirely with my hair. My style is pretty simple but they have both made me walk out of the salon feeling like a new woman :) The environment when you go to get your hair done is hip and most of all welcoming, down to every detail they make you feel so comfortable. They also have especially amazing products that I haven't seen around town. When Steven last did my hair I asked him about the things he was using and he gave me mini tutorials on each, I loved it. read more

So glad I found this place! Tamara the owner is amazing and very talented! All the other artists seem to be great as well! The way they treat their clients is really impressive! read more

Just had an incredible session with Cassandra! I came in with a side cut growing out, long hair, and choppy bangs and she worked her magic to turn into a versatile, short look! I love it when I can have a dialogue with my stylist to discuss the direction of the look and I so value her professionalism, creativity, and openness! Other perks: Great products and massage chairs when you get your hair washed. Highly recommend this place! read more

I have the wildest, untamed wavy/frizzy hair. Many stylists have tried to tame it, to no avail. Amita is basically the curl whisperer; she spent a long time talking to me about my past experiences w hair cuts, and what I was hoping for; what she did with my hair was like a curl dream come true. I left with the best cut of my life, and enjoyed every minute of the experience. I cannot recommend Amita highly enough! If you have difficult curls, she's your gal! read more

Oranj Studio does it right! I love everything about this salon. The service is top notch and no detail is missed. Tamara has been my stylist for at least 15 years and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend this salon!!! read more

If you're a blonde, you need Steven to do your hair. He's absolutely amazing, my hair is gorgeous, and he gives the best scalp massage.

I have seen Cassandra twice now. The first time I saw her, I explained what was bothering me about my hair, and she texturized it in a manner that let me keep the length but fixed exactly what my issue was. Completely resolved it, actually, and gave me one of the best haircuts I have had in a long time! A month later, though, I was having a hair emergency- I had been a hair model and I received a Joan Jett mullet that looked awesome on other people but looked terrible on me. I was pinning back my hair or wearing a hat ever day. So I booked my second appointment with Cassandra, and she cut me the cutest little bob I have ever had. I was a little shocked at first because I have never had my hair this short before, and it did take me a couple of days to adjust. But I have received so many complements and even been stopped in the street and asked who did my hair. It is really just a great, great haircut. I am so pleased with it, and I have fun styling it every day. Thank you, Cassandra. :) read more

I love this place. Tamara gave me an amazing cut n color. This past visit however, I booked with Laura. Wow! My hair was in need of some TLC and I left feeling like a damn glamazon! I've been growing my hair out and it's stuck in that funky stage. Thanks to Laura though, I can say good bye to my head wrap for a while. read more

I've been coming here since I moved to Portland and let me tell you how much I hate finding a new hair dresser. It's a painful process, one that I like to compare to the dating scene. You've heard from a friend of a friend that this person is fantastic and you finally decide to pull the trigger and go for it. Worst case scenario is that you see them, chat, don't feel any chemistry but you let them have a go anyway. You end of with a mess on your hands that will take you months to recover from. In the best case scenario, you meet an awesome person, you connect, they get you, understands what you want and you have a long meaningful relationship plus a rad haircut. Steven is great. My hair has been seeing him for the last eight months and I haven't been happier. read more

Like the rest, I'm new to Portland. Over the last 10 months I visited California twice and was able to see my former stylist. It was way too long between appointments. I decided it was time to bite the bullet and find a stylist in Portland. After some time on Yelp, I chose to make an appointment at Oranj. I'm so happy I did! Thrilled with my haircut and multi-phase color (new growth coverage, balayage, toning). Steven is talented and charming. I've found my stylist! read more

This salon was a game changer for me. I am forever grateful to the woman that referred me to Oranj Studio when I moved back into town. Steven always takes the extra time to listen to my thoughts and so kindly views my "make me look like this" photos. I often get asked where I get my hair done + there is no better feeling! Oranj Studio is a welcoming salon full of beautiful art + talented stylists! read more

I love this place!! The owners are happy, attentive and know their stuff. Totally impressed by the customer service from the front desk to the hair stylist. They even have chairs that massage you while getting your hair washed--nice perk. I loved my haircut/color from Steven and will definitely make this place my spot! Thank you Oranj :) read more

I cannot recommend this place highly enough!! I am thrilled with my new cut and the entire experience this top-notch salon offered. From the massage-shampoo to the final blow-out, I was handled with genuine care and gentleness. Laura was an INCREDIBLE stylist, who emanated soothing vibes and professionalism. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, offered her own advice about bang lengths that would suit my face (but never pushed me out of my comfort zone), and explained what she was doing every step of the way. I haven't had bangs (or even layered) my hair in over a decade, and so the final result blew me away! By giving me a razor cut with layers and bangs, Laura brought out so much curl and bounce to my hair--I don't even have to style it now, it looks amazing just by the shape she cut it into. I highly recommend this salon and their professional, genuine staff! read more

Tamara has done highlights and a cut for me 3 or 4 times now and I've literally never felt better about my hair. She is an amazing listener and has given me insight into my hair like no one else. Worth every penny, I love this place! read more

I just moved to Portland and was super nervous to find a new hairdresser. Steven is the man!!! Couldn't be happier with my new cut and highlights. Highly recommend Steven and this salon. Plus the chairs are the comfiest I've ever experienced :)) read more

I started going here in the fall of 2010, hoping to find just the right local salon to keep my hair short and current. My stylist Lindsay is a really great girl, she does a great job, and I love going to see her. I also enjoy the atmosphere and spunki-ness of the place, its fun to go there. It's sort of pop-minimalist-modern. The chairs have a built in massage function that works its magic while you get shampoo'd and a scalp massage. I also like that I can get free trims in between cuts, that makes it more affordable to keep coming back. read more

I'm very cautious about who touches my hair but trusted Lindsay to guide me through a transformation from long brown hair to a short silver bob. She really pulled it out! This isn't a cheap salon, but that's alright with me because I'm not interested in bargain beauty services. The staff is all very friendly, professional, and experienced -I would trust any of them. The venue itself is sleek, modern, and exceptionally clean. Their playlist is kick-a**. If you're looking for a 'hair home', Oranj Studio is the place. read more

I just had the best experience at Oranj Studio. I am a hairdresser and I have lots of other hairdressers cut my hair but honestly Laura has done the best!I I have thick hair that is very hard to cut (from what I'm told) and in the past nobody has been able to cut it the right way that works for me, also she gave the absolute best scalp massage! I highly recommend her, I will definitely be coming back, even if it's driving 45 minutes to see her! read more

This space is clean, contemporary & comfortable; hard to pull off in one space. I see Kevin & have to say he is brilliant! Having curly hair, it's crucial to find the right stylist. I have followed him to a couple salons & am so happy he landed here. It's cool to see South Waterfront coming along. Looking forward to the pedestrian bridge to make it even more convenient from SE Portland. read more

Worst service possible. Rude and disorganized. Rescheduled me 3 times to come in for an appointment that was booked over a week or 2 in advance each time and each time they canceled me the day before or day of for important events. read more

Great service, cool people and my hair never looked better - really.

When I first made my appointment here, I was afraid that I wasn't hip enough to get my hair cut here. I'm a 40-something profressional who should pay more attention to her long locks than she does. In fact, my last hair color was 9 months prior and my last haircut was 5 months prior. I have a lot of hair that is slightly wavy. Whenever I get my hair cut it requires a lot, I mean a lot of texturing to make it look well kept. I came in for highlights (blond highlights hide the gray peeking out of my brunette head) and haircut. Steven did a wonderful job on my hair. Even though he looks incredibly hip, he is a boy from a small town near Portland. Hearing his small town roots instantly made me feel more connected to him and less like a square in a really cool salon. The full body massage chair at the hair washing station was way better than I expected. The prices, well, it ain't cheap, but it is not the most I've ever spend on my hair. The phone appt and front desk staff were very friendly. While I have typically been a drifter when it comes to hair salons, I think I have found my home at Oranj with Steven. read more

Steven gave my long, straight, fine hair the best set of layers its ever had. The whole staff was warm and welcoming from start to finish and even followed me out the door to wish me well on a job interview the next day. I came in as a hair model and left as a loyal customer. read more

I really like this place, the interior is modern but very comfortable. The massaging chair at the washing station is awesome! Lindsay did a great job on my cut and color. I'll be back! read more

this place is very irresponsible, please never go, they did a terrible job on my hair t i am now with my hair totally abused and I fall a lot. this place SUCKS !!!! read more

Tamara is magic. I cannot express how talented and lovely this woman is. Outside of the fact that she feels like a long lost friend from first meeting, she was brave enough to indulge my craving for dramatic change at first cut and take it all off. Other stylists would continually talk me out of such change but not this lady! I feel weight lifted in so many ways and could not be happier with the change. I've also searched for six years for someone who had the skill and technique to cut the bulk out of my thick locks without simply layering it to the point of dysfunction. I could not be happier or more grateful to now know this wonderful and sweet soul. The staff is equally as fabulous and vibe of the studio is just zen. So glad I found you! Thank you! read more

Once you have your hair done at Oranj Studio, you won't want to step foot in any other salon. The stylists are hair magicians, plain and simple. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. I've been a client of Steven's for many years and won't ever let enyone else touch my hair. HIGHLY recommended. read more
