I don't have anything but positive things to say about this place. Ratha is super nice and understanding, walking me through each step of what she does to ensure that I understand what is happening to my hair. She was also very patient with me as I was quite indecisive with what I wanted to do with my hair. She answered all my questions (which was a lot) thoughtfully and honestly. She used a lot of care to ensure my hair (black Asian hair) doesn't get damaged in the bleaching process. She recommended products that I get to maintain my hair and talked me through my options. She's also super entertaining to be around, the four hours I spent there flew by. Her sense of music is also great. There is a bathroom there in case you need to go during your appointment and she also provides a plethora of snacks in case you get hungry. The shop is very clean and well decorated. Overall, this was an amazing experience and definitely worth the money, I'd say her prices are quite good too. Check out Urban Apsara if you want to get your hair done of any kind.

I have a problem with the back of my hair that doesn't want to take color. I don't know if I need that section bleached or what? I went to an expensive salon to have that area fixed? can you fix it?

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!

Kristina is AMAZING. Super upfront and I trusted her as soon as I first met with her cod the…read moreconsultation. I'm in my mid 40's and have never had extensions before. 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.
