The Best Hair Stylist I Ever Met

by duckwinners at Citysearch

Brooklyn rocked my hair today! She squeezed me in because I had such a hair emergency, she made my hair color look SO good and shiny. My hair looks healthy, it feels amazing, and she even made time to fix a hair cut I got LAST WEEK from someone else. I look so much better and I love my hair. Brooklyn is so worth it. Call her, seriously. When was the last time YOU loved your hair this much?

Marciano is AMAZING!!

by hkittykitty at Citysearch

I moved here 4 years ago and always fret when I need to find a new stylist. I searched citysearch for the best reviews & came across Marciano's name and shining reputation. I took and chance and haven't strayed since. I have A LOT of hair and he always knows just how to cut it to make it not only manageable but beautiful as well. He does amazing color too & is simply just a sweetheart. As long as I am here, Marciano is the only I will trust to mess w/ my locks!

• Pros: friendly staff, comfy setting, not sales (add on) driven

Brooklyn is the best of the best!

by Tech501 at Citysearch

I found Brooklyn online and saw her this month. She is so amazing! She has such a warm smile and made me comfortable right away, it's scary trying a new hair person! My hair was so awful, I told her I hadn't been to the same hairdresser more than twice in a LONG time before she even started because I was skeptical. I asked a lot of questions, and she never made me feel bad about it. She informed me so well, and even told me no when my ideas wouldn't work, which actually impressed me. I trusted her and my hair looks SOOOO good! I've had so many compliments already, my hair styles easily, JUST like she said it would, it falls right into place!! My color is so pretty and natural, just like I wanted because I'm low maintenance. It make take me a few months because my hair is so amazing, but I promised Brooklyn I'd be back to see her because I'm so impressed and I look so good! Thank you so much Brooklyn, you're the best!! And thanks to all of you who posted reviews about her, because I trusted you and found her too. This is my best hair ever Brooklyn, thank you, xoxo!

• Pros: awesome hairdresser, parking available, I LOVE MY HAIR!!!

Ask for Marciano !!!

by pdxcoolchick at Citysearch

Marciano is an artist. He has cut my hair for over 3 years and he always knows what to do. He is just really good at what he does and he always makes me feel great during and after my cut. I leave the salon feeling like a princess., with great hair of course... =)

Totally recomend him.

The BEST of the Best....

by kim0217 at Citysearch

“Thao is the best of the best hair stylist out there. If you haven’t got your hair done by her, you’re missing out on looking good and feeling AMAZING. Every time I have an appointment with her I can’t sleep the night before. I get really excited to see her. Not only is Thao amazing, but she is very honest to her clients about what will work and what won’t work. Thao is really friendly and makes you feel like you are there to hang out with a best friend then your hair stylist. Beside the fact that she is an amazing hair dresser, she dresses very trendy. The best DRESS AWARD goes to you Thao. I won’t mind moving next door to her salon, so I can walk by her salon and see how cute she dresses every day. She has a really warm smile, a smile that is unforgettable. I love how the fact that she listen, give good advice and I consider her as a “CHEAP” therapist. lol Thao is too cute! If you knew her, she is so well rounded? (PERFECT, YES PERFECT).. THANK YOU THAO for making me feels beautiful. I always feel like a princess after you’re done with me. What would I do without you. xoxoxo”

My hair extensions are gorgeous!

by beachstar at Citysearch

I heard Brooklyn does hair extensions at iolite salon and I went to see her because I HATE my hair. It is so fine and weak, it never looks pretty. I booked a consultation with Brooklyn and she answered all my questions and I felt so good, I placed an order to get extensions with her asap. She took such good care of me, and my hair is SO AMAZING! The kind she uses doesn't use glue or bulky bonding things, so my hair won't suffer whenever I decide to take them out (which may be never!) and my hair looks so friggin amazing, everyone loves it!! Even my skeptical mom ran her fingers thru my hair and said they feel great too. I am so excited to have the long pretty hair I always wanted, thank you SO MUCH Brooklyn, the confidence and happiness you've given me is priceless.

• Pros: beautiful hair, ordering hair didn't take long, Brooklyn taught me SO MUCH!

Brooklyn knows her stuff

by sassy9700 at Citysearch

I saw Brooklyn last week and I have never been happier with my hair. She is friendly and easy to talk to, she understood my fears and really listened to what I wanted. She gave me a really good first time discount and I will SO be going back, I have never looked better or been happier with my hair. My color is SO gorgeous, TWO strangers complimented me while I was out shopping this weekend and I gave them Brooklyn's card (she told me she continues discounts when her clients refer new people). Thank you so much Brooklyn, you made me so happy and I could never thank you enough.

• Pros: amazing hair, discounts

Brooklyn is the BEST!

by AllisonGirl at Citysearch

The place may be small, but the results are HUGE. Brooklyn is not only professional and extremely talented, but sweet and personable, too. I gave her free reign with what to do with my hair. She chose a new look (that got me some compliments) without totally reforming my "look" or making it appear unnatural-- just more beautiful. She has an excellent ability to listen to what you want and can still apply her fabulous personal touch. You won't be sorry.

• Pros: Brooklyn-- she's amazing and enjoyable
• Cons: prices are on the high end of normal--- but worth it.

BROOKLYN is Portland's Best Stylist for sure!

by 78toocute at Citysearch

Just stop, seriously. Get your bag, get your coat, walk out in the snow and go see Brooklyn! I don't care where you live, I would literally walk for miles in this snow to see Brooklyn and look as good as she makes me look rather than go anywhere else at the cost of losing her magic touch on my hair! She colors hair SO AMAZING, I will never go to anyone else. She taught me how to blowdry my hair at home so much better (no one ever teaches you that stuff) and she always makes me feel trendy and pretty at the same time. Just the smallest changes she makes, make such a huge difference, you can just tell she really knows what she's doing and that she cares a lot about what YOU want. We have so much fun; we laugh and talk with the other people in the shop, she gives me two hours of free therapy every time I see her... she's priceless!! Not only is my hair better than it has ever been, EVER... but I really enjoy spending time with Brooklyn, she is my favorite appointment to have in my calendar!!

Thank You Brooklyn!!! Love Mel xoxoxo

• Pros: Brooklyn!!

Brooklyn is a GEM

by hopp4508 at Citysearch

I went to Brooklyn after a friend had been to see her, and my friend's hair told the story for her... though she was happy to give me details! I noticed her new look right away and asked where she had been. It was all I could do to keep my friend from jumping across the table in praise of this stylist, so I got her information and set up an appointment. My big seller was that my friend still looks like herself, just BETTER. I will do the same for others as my friend did for me, refer them to Brooklyn because I came out of her chair looking and feeling ten times better than before. She was friendly, so well educated and not pushy at all. I loved her and truly think anyone who meets her will too.

• Pros: Worth every penny
