Bliss Salon & Day Spa

Best in Portland!! Bliss and Amber Rae. Finally, after moving to Portland 6 years ago, I can breathe a sigh of relief and, once again, love my hair! I have naturally curly hair and if I don't find an excellent hair stylist it can be unnerving, to say the least. I have tried many salons, curly hair specialists, big name salons, smaller salons, and all the places I discovered in my Portland research. Nothing worked. My hair turned into a big problem.

One more search last spring and I found AMBER RAE at Bliss salon on Divisadero St.

I told her all my concerns and she colored and cut my hair which was greyish blonde and frizzy (and thin from a big mistake at a well known salon) at this point.

When I left the salon after my first visit I felt transformed. My hair was back to it's warm reddish blonde color and the cut was perfection. Beautiful shape that I could blow dry myself.This is a first for me.

That was 7 months ago. Since then I have enjoyed my hair more than ever before and I receive compliments ALL the time.

Amber Rae is highly skilled ( and that's comparing her to my years of salons in San Francisco and Manhattan.). She is warm and friendly and easy to talk to, and she LISTENS!!

She does not push products on her customers ( which seems to be the norm in many salons now). She is fast, efficient, and, as far as I am concerned, a miracle worker.

Bliss salon is a joy to go to as it is light and airy with views of lovely trees outside. Almost a garden effect.

The staff is warm and thoughtful. The music is enjoyable- not blaring. It is a relaxing place to go to and the parking lot is right outside the front door. Appointments happen on time. The customer is respected. The prices are reasonable. The Bumble and Bumble products have always been my favorite as they help my dry hair become more manageable and healthier looking.

I don't even have to think about my hair now. I completely trust Amber Rae and this is a HUGE PLUS in my life! Yes, it's a gift in my life that I am grateful for everyday!  View Less … View More

Impressed!. I went to Bliss this afternoon and had a facial and brow wax with the owner Laura. There is such a difference in my skin it is unbelievable and my brows look amazing. I'll definitely be back to keep up on the brows. After the spa appointment, I had a trim and blow out with Samantha, she was very sweet and did a fabulous job, my hair is smooth with a bit of vintage wave that she created at the ends with her round brush.  View Less … View More

Lovely Salon. Amber Rae at Bliss is fantastic! I had my hair cut and colored by someone else, I hated it and ended up at bliss and she warmed up the color and texturized my cut so that I actually ended up loving a haircut that originally I was really upset about! I also got a great brow shape with the owner, Laura. I'll be back for sure.  View Less … View More
