Dezi Salon in Portland, OR

I setup my hair appointment a week in advance. Within 12 hours I was asked to reschedule because she wanted to get vaccinated, which good on you, but when I asked if she could possibly go after my appointment since she had a week so we could make arrangements and I have nothing else that works now.. she just still asked me to reschedule without even answering my question. I'm no Karen, but she definitely brought out my inner Karen. Way to establish a relationship with a new client  not going to give Christina my business now.

I went here for a hair cut and the woman changed the price at the last minute after she had started cutting my hair and I didn't even get the hair cut that I wanted. WORST PLACE FOR CURLY HAIR

Christina did a wonderful job on my color.  She helped me pick the perfect colors for my base color and she added three colors ... my hair is so soft and I love my hair. I will be going back to her soon. She's really friendly and makes you feel comfortable and she's affordable :)

I bought the groupon before I read the Yelp reviews. After I read them, I got really nervous because there are very good ones and very bad ones, not a lot of them in the middle. I am writing this review for all ladies (or gentlemen) that might feel nervous as I was.

First, if you are a high maintenance person, this is not the place for you.
Second, if you are a very punctual person or you just don't have a flexible schedule, again this is not the place for you.

Yes, Christina is the only person there and does it all. She was nice and chatty, a little hard to understand at times. I had her cut exactly how much I wanted by looking into the mirror and saying shorter or longer. Now the most important part, I had full highlights. I wanted blonde, but I wasn't asked what shade of blonde, she just went and mixed the color. As she was working on my highlights, I didn't notice anything different or odd than my other salon experiences. She had quick hands and I could tell she knew what she was doing. She also stayed after closing time for about half an hour and I never felt like she was rushing me out. She did my highlights, waited for a few more minutes, washed my hair & great scalp massage btw, hair dried it and asked me what styling I wanted. Overall, I am happy with my turn out - good length, great blonde shades, and didn't take long either. It took at most 2 hours total, which is better than other salons that I've been to and took 4 hours for the same services.

Again, it depends on your preferences, but a good rule of thumb is always keep in mind you get what you pay for. I really think I got the best of my money and if I wouldn't have moved out of Portland, I'd probably go there again.

Hope this helps.

Christina is the best! I love her, and I love my hair every time. She cuts my son's and my husband's hair, too. She's a sweet, genuinely caring person, who does a great job. I highly recommend her to anyone.
