Best hair I have ever had, thanks to Scott

by lazyncute at Citysearch

My hair guy, Scott, recently moved to London Influence from Vancouver, and I am so glad he did. Now not only do I get the greatest hair in town, it is easy to get to, they have a great salon there and the staff were all very nice. My hair has always been great thanks to the loving attention of Scott. If you ever need someone to fix a messed up haircut or color, that's how I started with him, he's your guy.

• Pros: Wine, great hair, always reliable

I love my hair again!

by lelo1 at Citysearch

Relaxed, friendly atmosphere

Really understand my hair

Know what looks work for my face and lifestyle

Wonderful location

After 4 sessions with Scott I have never been disappointed. Each time I've left liking my hair more and more.

I've checked out the clients of other stylists and their hair looks great too.

This kind of salon is hard to come by but I used citysearch and found a winner!

• Pros: Great cut and color
• Cons: Parking but they'll stamp your ticket for the garage

Robert saved my hair from a disaster

by mcgown at Citysearch

I had some really dark hair, a combination of my former hairdresser and myself. I wanted to go lighter and my hairdresser said we could and after the consultation I knew I was in trouble. That's when I did a search for best hairdresser in Portland and came up with Robert. I went in and he explained the whole process and told me that he would do what he could but that I needed to be realistic. I was hoping for the best and felt confident in his skills. The entire thing went as he had said, and when I was done, not only did I have lighter hair, but I had a beautiful color and the best haircut I have ever had. He is the best ever.

• Pros: great colorist, haircut was fantastic

PROPS TO NICOLE!

by kellysullivan at Citysearch

Know why no one can get a good haircut this month in Portland? Because I already got it. Yup, my haircut and color took all the good hair karma out of every source in this fine city and all wound itself up on my head. I've been seeing Nicole for a long time now and I can't say enough about her - she is a hair wizard! And her latest creation has got to be one of the best haircuts I've ever had, and my color - it's amazing. Go see her. You will NOT regret it. Book early and then eagerly anticipate your visit. Get your color done too. You'll thank me. But you'll REALLY thank her. She's especially great to see when you're not quite sure what to do with your 'do - just trust her. She rocks the hair house.

• Pros: Great location on the max line downtown
• Cons: She's so good she books up!

Best Hair I have ever had

by msillti at Citysearch

I have had bad hair for some time. I am not sure if my hair is difficult or just no one took the time. I recently saw Robert at London Influence and he changed all that. My hair has never, in my entire life, looked this great. I got new color and a new cut that not only looks awesome, but it's also easy for me to do at home. I LOVE you Robert, thanks for making my feel so good.

• Pros: great communication, excellent color and cut

wouldn't trust my hair to anyone else

by lululouisa at Citysearch

Rebekah at London Influence is hands down the best person to entrust your lovely locks. She is cheerful, professional, well trained, and above all, a master at her art. The whole joint (folks and space) put you at ease as soon as you enter, from art, to the warm smiles, to the lovely glass of wine while you're gettin' your do done. I would highly recommend London Influence and Rebekah specifically (although I have seen them all at work and they are great). So, when your ready to beautify, relax, and let the pros take over, go see Rebakah. I can't say enough about her. Happy Styling!

• Pros: rad energy, flawless cut and color
• Cons: not closer to my house

Rebekah is amazing

by Panza at Citysearch

It is rare that a person can honestly say they have never had a bad experience with the same hair dresser yet I am here to say that is not the case with Rebekah. I have been a client of hers for 7 years. Going to another hair dresser is not an option. Rebekah is always pleasant and professional. I am hair styling challenged so I put all of my trust in her and that trust has never been broken. If you are looking for a hair stylist that listens and at the same time is not afraid to make suggestions then Rebekah is the one to call.

• Pros: It is worth the money and time
• Cons: Rebekah is so good it is hard to get an appointment

Rebekah Rocks My Color/Style Every Time.

by ESPnPDX at Citysearch

I've been getting my hair done there for years. The first time i walked in i was introduced to Rebekah. From that moment on i wont let anyone else touch my hair. She is friendly and professional. Even more importantly she listens to what i want and can makes suggestion on what color and style might look the best on me. She nails it every single time.(Color and Cut). I know that i can walk in to my appointment and say "just do your magic". That really says a lot because i am very AR and picky about my hair. I have sent many friends to see her and all of them have been thrilled with how their color and styles turn out. This last week i went in for a my color and cut and she did a straightening treatment. I have kind of wavy hair but i always flat iron it straight. Once again i am 100% loving my new straight hair. If you want to find someone who you can trust to give you great hair every time and has passion for what she does, than Rebekah is the one for you. Thank you Rebekah

• Pros: I always leave feeling and looking better than i came in.
• Cons: Parking...but it is downtown so that shouldn't be a shocker.

Best hair ever, cut and color, thanks Robert

by willaheddy at Citysearch

I have been looking for a hairdresser in Portland for 3 years now. My search is over. I recently found Robert at London Influence and he did such an incredible job, I felt like I was on a makeover show. I honestly have never felt this good about my hair. I can't stop looking in the mirror and smile every time I see my hair. Thanks Robert for changing my hair in best way possible, my husband and kids all approve too. Big Hugs.

• Pros: Robert, great color, fun, easy parking

EXTREMELY expensive for mediocre cut

by hugxme at Citysearch

Rebekah did my hair, she was very nice and took her time. I ended up paying $206 to get my hair bleached, toned, and cut. ( According to the manager that is a "competitve price") If I would have known the price before hand, I would have gotten my hair darkened. (I wasn't sure what I wanted so it wouldn't have been a big deal to go darker) The cut looked choppy instead of nicely layered. (The manager did say I could come in and Rebekah would fix it but I'm not willing to take that chance)

• Pros: friendly
• Cons: parking, pricey

Scott does great work

by rumi2u at Citysearch

I recently went into London Influence for a haircut. I work in the area and pass by it a lot. So one day called and set up an appointment with a more senior stylist and was booked with Scott. I am so happy I was. I got the greatest haircut ever and he is going to fix my color next month. I have never been to a hairdresser like him before. Nice, explained everything he did, funny, no attitude, and cute too. All I can say is my hair has never looked so good. Thanks Scott. The salon could use a little updating but that doesn't effect the great hair or the good time I had.

• Pros: Great haircuts, downtown, convienent
