My friend and I had a great day at Kalista. The ambiance is great and the service was wonderful. I would recommend and will be going back.

In February I made my first visit to Kalista spa and had the bundle lashes put on for a Vegas trip. I told the lady doing it that this was a special trip and whatever she did, I l...

My hair looks great 8/24/2009

Went to Kalista very nervous to get my hair colored red for the first time. Sam was very nice, and friendly. My color turned out great, and she even knew how to deal with my curly hair straitening it before she cut it. I looked so hot with straight red hair, my bf thought he had a new girlfriend! I am so pleased with the service and the price was not bad either. Sam is the best! She also did my sisters bangs and it looked great. For some constructive critisism, when my sis got her bangs done, she also did her eye brows...and they were really bad. She had just waxed them, with no plucking at all. I complained and they took her right back in the room to fix em, and they did look better. They are willing to negotiate and fix issues if things dont work out, so that is good..... But overall really a good experience with Kalista. they have a super great atmosphere too, with water and cookies. Lastly, I love the way they answer the phone calling you beautiful, makes me feel good every time ;-) Pros: my color is awesome Cons: eyebrows, so so more

Thank you again for providing me the best service and the hottest hair! -Gina more

THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER-STAY AWAY! 7/27/2009

I took my daughter to Kalista for hair extensions as a gift for her birthday. After having a consultation with a very nice stylist who felt that extensions could not be done on my daughter's very short hair, she asked us to come back in 45 minutes and speak to the owner. The owner looked at my daughter's hair and said it could be done and that it would look natural; that she would have a thick head of hair. She also said she was an expert at these types of extensions and that she would supervise the entire process. She did not supervise anything, and left the salon to never return to see the finished product. My daughter looked ridiculous. Her scalp was covered in glue and knots fully exposed. It looked like she was wearing a Frost-and-Tip cap. Even the stylists in the salon and two clients, agreed that it looked terrible with both saying ""they wouldn't walk outside like this without wearing a scarf."" The stylist who did the extensions tried to call the owner. She told me that the owner would not get on the phone as she kept texting the stylist to say she would not come back to salon. She wouldn't even talk to me on the phone to come up with some solution to the problem. The spa manager called and said they would remove the extensions (this is after my daughter had already been there for 10 hours)! He also wanted us to pay for the removal of the extensions, and for the hair! This is after he admitted that he had been there while we were having our consultation and that he knew that the type of extensions they planned to do would not work. I had to have my husband come to the salon to talk to him, by phone, to tell him we would not pay for their mess. 12 hours later, the extensions were removed and my daughter's hair was fried with glue stuck all in her scalp. This owner is out of her mind. She claims on her Web site that she is an expert at extensions. She quoted me $1,300 to do this job. This is after I was originally quoted $900 but after hearing that my husband was a doctor, it quickly went up to $1,300. She is unprofessional and does not know what she's doing. Even the staff was embarassed at the way she handled things. Stay away from this place. It's a joke. Cons: Inexperienced, unprofessional more

Massage 7/26/2009

Hello. I came in for a massage as I had heard great things about your salon and was given a poor massage and complained and they referred me to a manager, Aaron. I talked to him had the worst experience. It was completely confrontational and felt like I was the bad guy for spending my money at your business. I will not return, and will let my friends know as well. I had found a new massage therapist since and they stated the same that they have heard bad experiences at the salon and Aaron the manager. Very disappointed. Wish you the best in boosting your customer service, sounds like I'm not the only one that had a poor experience. Cons: HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE more

Awesome service NO hooty snooty! 7/20/2009

Kalista has a knowledgable friendly staff that has always impressed me. The environment is relaxed yet professional and feels great, the employees always seem happy! Over the years I have had my hair and nails done here and I am seldom dissapointed. The staff at Kalista strives to achieve what you have in mind and they usually succeed. The prices are reasonable and the quality of service is always excellent! I regularly and highly reccomend Kalista to friends, family and co-workers. Pros: Attentive and detail oriented staff! Cons: Sometimes you wait awhile even with a scheduled appt. more

bad hair extensions 7/8/2009

not so sure of the hair extension quality.... lasted only one month when promised 4-5months.... the stylist herself knows who she is.... more

Great highlights!!! 7/5/2009

After getting my hair back to its natural color (or at least very close to it), things were looking drab. I was hoping to fix the situation by the end of the day, but I was skeptical because in my experience, it's hard to book an appointment at the last minute. I remembered walking by Kalista salon a few times in the past and thinking about how lovely the inside looked -- cozy & zen with great decorations including a beautiful fountain. So I called them up, not really expecting to manage getting an appointment and - voila! - somehow they arranged squeezing me in. Once I got there, I saw that the place was even prettier on the inside than I had remembered seeing while walking by. There were even drinks in a cozy waiting area and cookies, too. My highlights were done by a woman named Tia, who was very friendly, listened to my needs, and did exactly what I had in mind. I am very happy with the coloring and I have even gotten a few compliments so far. Thank you, Kalista, I will definitely be coming back and requesting Tia as my colorist! :) Pros: Ambience, location, friendliness Cons: A little pricey for someone who usually does her own hair more

My toes are so pretty! 6/13/2009

I came in to Kalista yesterday for a pedicure...and got more than I thought I was going to! Usually, I go to the little Vietnamese places and am uncomfortable in their run-of-the-mill shop...Kalista is a whole new ball game! Pros: great technicians more

Well Deserved Massage 6/11/2009

Being in school, I'm totally stressed out all the time. Came in twice to unwind before finals. Lucan is great, he did some energy work (which I've never had done before), leaving me ready for my studies. Shawn was awesome, too. She broke up all the tension I carried in my neck and shoulders. Overall, great therapists, great work. Thanks. Pros: Nice Atmosphere, fun staff Cons: A Bit Noisy more

BEST Pedicure ever! 6/10/2009

I went in last week and got a spa pedicure, and let me tell you, it was one of the best and most relaxing experiences i've had. As soon as I walked in, I knew I was going to enjoy myself. Every person that I passed while being seated in their awesome waiting area smiled and said hello to me. The lighting was really cool, and the whole place smelled so good! My pedicure was extremely thorough, and the woman that did my toes was friendly and hilarious. They play great music throughout, and prices are very reasonable for the amount of time that they put into my poor, tired feet. I will definately be returning in the very near future, and look forward to trying more services that they offer. Also, the baby puffer fish that they have in the waiting area is probably one of the cutest things ever. :-) Pros: The entire establishment Cons: Not a one more

Really amazing experience 6/10/2009

I came in with my husband to have a massage and facial, and they where both amazing!! After we where done my husband asked if I wanted to go to dinner. I told him no, I had no make up on and my hair was a mess. Then the person that did my facial said, I can do your makeup and we can see if someone could do your hair. My husband said YES!!! So off i went It was great! I felt like a princess. Thank you for such a great time! The place is beautiful as well. more

Bad service, mediocre results 5/26/2009

I was very disappointed with this salon. Bad customer service and too high of prices for the quality of service offered. more

Do not go here!! Better haircuts available elsewhere. 5/18/2009

My girlfriend went to have her hair cut. It was a nightmare. Without giving too much information, the service was horrible, and unprofessional. Pros: Gift Certificate was easy to print Cons: You could go to a mall, and get a far better cut for less $$ more

Kim 5/15/2009

Kim is the best of the best. I guarantee that. She is very experienced and when a hairdresser tells you to trust them, you know you are in good hands. Ive been to her one time and when you can tell all that about someone only after being in their chair one time, you know they have the gift!!!! Pros: Kim more

no,no no! 5/9/2009

For 180 $ I went to their ""best colorist"" and my roots are a half of an inch grown out. I do not have time to come in for a second visit, my life is just too crazy. For that kind of money my hair better look damn good the first time. Pros: no no no Cons: talks itself up way too much and felt cast aside more

Love my color by Sam 5/7/2009

I transfered to Sam from her old location and She is the best! She is so happy now. This space is exactly what she needed. ITS SO HER. She is creative and so is that salon! LOved it there! The staff is so nice, the decor is awesome! Loved the pond in front with the fish especially!!!!! 10 thumbs up for me! Pros: location, staff more

LIPO MASSAGE is awesome! 4/28/2009

I went to kalista only because I just wanted to try something out before I decided to take lipo to the next level, Surgery! I did the full program they set up for me and my cellulite is actually gone! This machine is amazing and I have to say Aimee YOU ARE AWESOME! I had to move back to Arizona for work but I will be back to get another package. I do not want this to go away! Love Luv this salon. Pros: it works! more

ewwwww 4/24/2009

I could go on and on. But essentially the ""spa"" does not feel like a spa but rather a random country kitchen meets zen monastary meets dollar store jam sesh. I found the staff to be the opposite of knowledgeable and helpful. Any chance of me feeling like I was or could be pampered was ruined by the staff vacuuming next to my treatment room. I will NEVER go back. EVER. Sorry folks. Pros: can't think of any Cons: the whole kit and kaboodle more

So glad I found you! 4/17/2009

I used to work with Kim before she did hair 11years ago at a coffee shop. When she started hair, I came to her but eventually moved away and when I came back a month ago I decided to look her up again. And I found her, She moved to this amazing location I loved it! Kim is awesome with hair (STILL TO THIS DAY) The salon and spa are amazing! I am so proud of her for what she has done with it! And herself. She inspires me because she did it all by herself. Great place to go! Great hair. Spa not sure yet but I am going to find out soon. :) Love you Kim you are so special!!!!! more

Best salon and spa experience!!!!!! 4/15/2009

What I loved about this place is the entrance. It is wonderful!!!! the salon and spa is divided it two, at first I was kinda nervous about getting a spa service because the front had funky music and was loud due to all the hairdressers and conversations. But they took me into this large waiting area that softened the sound from the front to the spa. My first appointment was a massage so going further to the back I was blown away!!!! It was wonderful quite and beautiful and like leaving town in the middle of town. After that I did the Lipo massage and that was again amazing. Loved the room it was so cozy and I am for sure hooked on it now. The staff was amazing in the spa and so nice. Then they took me back to the waiting area and I was greeted my a girl with really pink hair and I myself am pretty conservative but I gave it a shot. Took my deep breath trusted my friend that (by the way already warned me this would be an experience I never experienced before) and trusted that this is what she ment. MY HAIR WAS AMAZING. Really, I love what she did, um Tia I think her name was. She listened to me and gave me what I wanted and I didn't even know I wanted it. She helped me come up with a new look and really I was just going to get a trim, she just made me feel so comfortable. She was so positive about the salon and she seemed to love being there. This only made me love my experience more. Thanks girls! You really are PDX best kept secret! more
