Wow, where do I start. I first met Kim (Kalista Salon Owner) back in 2004. I found Kalista through city search trying to look for a great place to try some hair extensions in Portland. I live in WA and usually head to Portland for larger shopping trips (save on tax) and figured I'd throw in some extensions as well. I liked Kalista's reviews and I loved the pics/style of the salon. So I went, and I could not have been happier. First, the salon is awesome. Totally cool vibe there, urban trendy, not stuffy and I liked that. Don't get me wrong, some stuffy salons are fantastic but Kalista was relaxed, upbeat, cool, yet professional. Kim did my extensions which turned out absolutely gorgeous, they made my already blonde hair thicker and longer and I felt like a rock star. My bf's jaw dropped to the floor, he was happy as well. I had never met someone like Kim at any salon I've ever been to. She and I clicked right away and I consider her a great friend, not just a stylist. Over the years I've met many others on her staff (although since Kim did my hair the first time, she does my hair every time) and everyone at the salon is great. It's just such a cool vibe there. Whenever I go I always get my hair done, facial, pedicure, eyelash extensions, and some other new treatment that Kim tells me about. For once, I found a salon owner (not just an employee) that I trust what they are telling me and what it will really do for my hair or skin. No upselling bs, just great products and unbiased advice. I think we'd all like to have a celebrity stylist of our own to tell us all the beauty secrets that we need to know. I've definitely found that in Kim and I will be a client for life. I would highly recommend Kalista Salon.
