Yelp.com Review - by Tom P.

5 of 5 stars. Went to see Carly for hair cut in January and have been every 3 weeks since. She is excellent and the Salon is nice- kind of fancy pants but everyone is friendly. Highly recommended.

GREAT Salon!!! Highly recommended!

I travel a LOT and this salon (fortunately for me) was recommended by the service person/woman at the front desk of my hotel in Portland, OR. Thank goodness I listened to her advice! This is a fabulous salon!...

Exactly what you need

I think getting a good haircut is always pricey for a woman but I don't mind paying it here because I always like what they do.
