Arabella Salon & Spa

Excellent Shiatsu

by tjoellef at Citysearch

I've had many massages before, but my massage by Anna Debenham was the first Shiatsu massage I've received. I've been to Anna twice and highly recommend her. She seems to have a very good understanding of Chinese medicine and the body's meridians, which I found to be a very nice addition to my massage experience. Anna's touch was strong and deep while at the same time sensitive to my body's needs. I left feeling very relaxed. I found Shiatsu to be more healing than other massage I've received or perhaps that is just Anna's style.

A salon for the community

by kboy43 at Citysearch

The stylists at the salon invited teen mothers and girls in residential treatment to a morning of, hair styles, make up and pampering. The stylists were kind and respectful and treated all the girls like queens for the day.

For the girls who were unable to make it to the salon, the stylists brought the salon to them. They provided hair cuts and make up where the girls lived. The stylists did an awesome job and made it really special for those girls. The folks at Arabella really care!!!

• Pros: Socially Conscience
• Cons: none

Arabella is a fabulous salon

by pigandpanda at Citysearch

Arabella is a great salon staffed by highly professional stylists. I'm impressed at how they are constantly educating themselves about hair, color, the latest trends and classic cuts. I especially appreciate that the haircuts suggested are complimentary to me and my personal style.

• Pros: great colorists, stylists, beautiful setting

Sarah Bandy at Arabella

by hecticity15 at Citysearch

When I first moved to Portland, I never thought I would find a hairstylist that fits the grade, until a friend introduced me to the amazing Sarah Bandy.

Sarah has been styling my hair for over two years, and in that time she has gained my valued trust and friendship. My hair cuts and color only get better and fit my needs as her creative ideas roll in sync with what I am looking for. Several of my friends I have recommended her to, are now new eager clients. I am sharing the hair secret my friend shared with me two years ago; if you are in search of a malleable and innovative hair stylist, do yourself a favor and consider Sarah Bandy at Arabella Salon.

• Pros: awesome stylist!
• Cons: never

I went in with a bad hair cut & wanted it leveled & wanted a low maintanence cut .what i got waz the worst hair-cut i have ever had. & they tried to tell me that my hair quality was bad & that this was the best it could be.& i just had to wait for it to grow out for it to look presentable. Will never go back there again

Stephanie June is amazing!!!!

by lynnemm7 at Citysearch

Stephanie made my brows amazing!! i didn't know a good wax could make such a difference. I mean i've had my brows waxed before but never like this!

she takes a lot of time perfecting them to make sure they look amazing and suit your faceshape.

she's really in to make up which means that she cares a lot about the shape of your brows.

you won't regret making an appointment with her!

• Pros: online booking!!!

The search is over

I had been looking for someone to trust with my hair and i read so many good reviews on Jena I decided to giver her a try. It was very convenient since she starts at 6am so I can get my hair done before I need to go into work. I went in the first time not knowing what I wanted and some how it turned out better than what I could have dreamed of. I recently went back to get highlights in to give my hair texture for an up-do for a wedding I was in, She listened to what I needed I gave me highlights that look natural, hide when I have my hair down, and makes my hair look amazing when its up. I couldn't ask for anything more.

I have never done anything dramatic to my hair but in her hands I feel like anything she does will make me look amazing in the end. My next appointment is for a Keratin treatment to straighten out my frizzy hair. She gave me a lot of information on it, and gave me good advice whether I should do it or not because of my hair type. She knows her stuff!

I wouldn't place my hair in anyone else's hands!

• Pros: Scheduling time, can get my hair done early, before work
• Cons: Can't take her home with me so she can do my hair everyday!

wonderful experience

by gingembreSG at Citysearch

If you'd like to find a perfect place to go and treat yourself to a special day of beauty, this is it. The people are nice, the atmosphere is relaxing and pretty and the services are local and organic. The location, although at first somewhat odd, is actually perfect for this type of business.

• Pros: everything
• Cons: none

Steven Lightfoot

by countrygma at Citysearch

One of the best stylists I have ever had. I sat in his chair and he looked and my hair and could tell me what products I used and how I took care of my hair. You can tell his heart is in his work. Well worth the time, trip and $$$. You will not only walk away with a great haircut, but you will have a better understanding of how to care for your hair! Thanks, Steven

• Pros: Super haircut and style
• Cons: Parking

Sarah B has a sixth sense about hair

by epschell at Citysearch

Sarah B at Arabella knows what she's doing. I have been a client for about a year. She did my hair for my wedding, and I've been seeing her ever since. When I took the plunge 4 months ago and cut my hair short, Sarah did an amazing job. I get daily compliments about how cute and fresh it is. If you're considering going short or updating your look, you really need someone who knows what's going to look good on you (and tells you honestly!) and can pull it off. Sarah is the best!

• Pros: She is talented and fun
• Cons: None

Compliment's left and right (:

Libby Beaman colored, cut and styled my hair and it looks amazing! First and foremost, I was leaning towards keeping my blonde highlights but received some very SMART advice from Libby. She had advised me that with my eye color and skin tone, keeping closer to my "roots" was were I should be. Thank goodness I listened to her, because now I LOVE my natural hair color. It is so flattering, bright and beautiful. I have received so many compliment's about my hair and I owe it to LIbby. Thank you!!

• Pros: Beautiful loft setting, great products, insightful staff
• Cons: n/a
