Best Haircut EVER

by LorenC at Citysearch

It's not easy finding a place to get a really good haircut for a guy but now that I've found my place I'm never going anywhere else. April is amazing, I told her what I wanted and she disagreed and told me why and started cutting away. She nailed it, I couldn't have even described to her what she gave me. She got a feel for my personality and made the hair match. April, a blessing upon your children's children.

Oh and they use the best brand of products there too, Bumble and Bumble. Amazing, what I've looked my whole life for.

Thanks,

Loren

• Pros: Everything, no really
• Cons: There is a step up when you open the door so look out for that.

Tasia is the best

by mrb65 at Citysearch

Tasia has been doing my hair for about a year and she always pays very close attention to my style, concerns, and offers up new suggestions that she thinks would look and feel good on me. I have had some troubles with consistency at other salons in the past, but that is no issue with her - she always remembers what we did on the last cut. I highly recommend her to people looking for a regular stylist.

• Pros: Attention to detail, friendly, stylish and
• Cons: None

Honest Analysis, First Impressions Matter

by capricorn28 at Citysearch

I just can't stop the compliments from coming, Lauren must have done a little more than SOMETHING right.

Plus, how awesome is it to leave as if you've just met over coffee and discussed the workings of the universe- and wow, now your hair is suddenly voluptuous and fresh and beautiful.

Haircut + Hair Dresser + Saloon Atmosphere = Great experience.

• Pros: Friendly staff, sweet studio space, complimentary drink
• Cons: Pricier than expected

No more nervous hair-cutting experiences for me!

by Bobbie Yeo at Citysearch

I am usually quite nervous to get my hair cut, as I have had several bad experiences in the past. This time it was different. Lauren took the time to hear what I wanted done. There were no pretentions or forced opinions. For once, I finally got what I wanted in a hairstyle!

• Pros: Comfortable vibe, great stylist.
• Cons: No cons here!

Loved my hair do!

by heather houser at Citysearch

My friend and I went to Blu's ladies night for a $10 shampoo, conditioning mask and hair style. Lauren was our stylist, and she was amazing! She is super adorable, and knows her stuff. My hair felt so healthy, and my style lasted all week. She even helped my friend learn how to do her new style at home. We also received a goodie bag of free product. So grab a friend, give Blu a call, and sign up for ladies night. You will be hooked!

• Pros: Great service, great price, great hair and all around fun!
• Cons: Totally worth a trip!

Great atmosphere, great hair

by apickypizzo at Citysearch

Not only did my hair receive a much needed deep conditioning, I was given such helpful advice on new easy things I could do for my hair to mix it up. My experience with this salon went far beyond hair. I walked into a friendly environment and was offered coffee by my hair dresser, Lauren. It felt like I was just having a chat with an old friend.

• Pros: great treatment for my hair
• Cons: none

Nice, relaxing Salon

by yakimashi at Citysearch

Within a very short time, Lauren knew exactly what my head and hair needed. She gently assessed what would look best on me, treated me very well and I left with the the right hair! Got lots of compliments for it, too.

I will be back for sure and highly recommend Lauren!

• Pros: got just what I wanted!

Happy with Blu

by NinPDX at Citysearch

I really enjoyed my stylist, I felt like she really listened to me about what I was wanting in a hair cut. I was very happy with my cut and I agree with other reviewers that the free trims for your bangs are a great perk. I understand other reviewers complaints about color and products being pushed somewhat heavily. I have purchased products several times now and am hoping that it will die down now that my arsenal is complete! Overall, I am very happy with the salon and will be a continued customer!

• Pros: Stylists who listen, Bumble & Bumble Products
• Cons: Strong push for products/color services

So sweet!

by belletrism at Citysearch

I had my hair cut by Lauren and not only is she sweet as can be but she made my hair look cute, too, which isn't a claim that many stylists have been able to make. Her flexibility with hours makes it so easy to schedule, too!

• Pros: excellent service, amazing hours

Happy with service and hair!

by katieprevost at Citysearch

I had a great experience with Lauren, who is new to Portland. I think she did a great job envisioning just what I wanted for a big change. I was very happy with her and with the salon. The price was a little steep (they really push the products) but does include a free trim, so that makes up for a lot. I will absolutely be back.

• Pros: Friendly, talented, professional
• Cons: The price was a bit higher than expected

I tried this salon for the first time and was extremely pleased. Lauren took her time to understand my needs and gave me one of the best cuts I have had in years. I am sending all my friends to give it a try.
