Revolution Hair & Body Salon

Only been once, but they were very nice, patient, talented and reasonable. I will definitely go again. The only drawback is an awful location, but I guess that can't be helped. .. more

I have been getting my hair done at Revolution since they opened, and I have been highly satisfied every single time! Everyone that works there is so friendly and accomodating, and they always give me good advice on how I should change my hair, or what would look good. It was the first place I've ever been truly satisfied on how the coloring turned out on my hair. They are very knowledgeable about which hair colors will actually work on my hair. I am just so lucky to have found revolution. more

Everyone was really nice, but the stylist didn't do a very good job. It was uneven, cut way to short, and she didn't style my hair. I don't like walking out of a salon with a wet head. To me that isn't even finished. For $45.00 I expect my hair to be cut even, dried, and styled . Sorry, not happy. more

I kept complementing people at my office about how their hair looked so great and finally found out that they had all gone to this salon. So I made an appointment and loved what Jerri the owner did for me. I am not a very "girly girl" and Jerri recognized that (and the fact that I was a newly empty-nester so needed a boost) and so I let her be creative and she decided a little color would be fab and did not push an extreme new cut. I plan on going back soon for another dose of color and maybe a little more fun cut. I totally loved the super relaxed atmosphere and great conversation as well. Can't wait to find time to go back! Pros: Excellent esthetic skill, great company, relaxed atmosphere, no pressure to buy products Cons: first time there go early to figure out where to park more

I got a haircut a week ago at Revolution Spa and it was the best one I have ever had! I did a dramatic change from very long to short and my stylist Jerri was so helpful in recommending the right type of style. It looks so cute and I have been receiving compliments everywhere I go! The new look is very flattering and I am so glad I went there based on all the great reviews on this site. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxing and they made me feel very comfortable. Also I decided to donate the hair that was cut to Locks of Love and they were more than willingly to help with that and took care of all the paperwork and mailing the hair in and everything. I also got an eyebrow wax while I was there and Jerri did a fantastic job on that as well. She is very concerned with making sure the customer is happy and she knows what they want. She even offered to let me come back in the next week for any changes should my haircut not be satisfactory. She also went over coloring options with me when I inquired. I will definately be back and would highly recommend this salon to anyone wanting a great professional cut. Pros: Great service and expertise more

I just had the best color and highlights ever from my stylist, Kellie. When I went to work the next day, everyone I walked by complimented my hair color. Even two men noticed! Kellie does a great job. She changes my highlights based on the season and always picks out something perfect for me. Everyone in the salon is pleasant, nice and professional. I love the atmosphere; very comfortable setting. I'm telling all my friends to have their hair done here! I've also had Molly "do" my nails, and she also was very professional and totally fun to talk with. more

The staff is pleasant, professional and skilled. They take pride in the services they offer and it shows in their work. My hairstylist, "Betsy" is one of the best stylists I have ever experienced. It has taken me a long time to find someone who was willing to take the time to get to know the good and bad about my hair. "Betsy" was patient, gentle and very educational for what was best for me and my hair. She does amazing work and is very savvy with style and color. More importantly, she loves to makes you smile and has truly taught me how to love my hair. I would recommend this hair salon for anyone. The staff makes you feel like you are family and yet still offers you professional courtesy. For me, being a business owner, I truly appreciate when another business can balance skill and friendliness. Their love and passion for what they do, definitely shows. ~Kelly Pros: Staff, Skill, Services Cons: None more

As a guy, I was a bit skeptical about going to a hair salon for the first time, but it was worth it. After looking under these "Citysearch" reviews, I was convinced that Revolution Hair was the place to visit. Scheduling a reservation ahead of time, Betsy was my stylist. When I told her I wanted a new hairstyle, she totally knew what I wanted. She was very friendly throughout the haircut, giving me tips on how to style my hair as well as getting to know my personal side. I ended up with an amazing fauxhawk and a big smile. I can't wait to show my friends back in California. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND REVOLUTION HAIR! Oh yeah, Gigi is cool too! Pros: Skilled & friendly staff, cool atmosphere Cons: Hard to see when traveling south on Barbur. I suggest getting a sidewalk sign more

I JUST got back from Revolution. I went from having hair down my back to cut under my chin! I was so scared to do it, I was nervous and terrified. Betsy put me at ease and made me feel comfortable. She gave me tips on how to keep my hair looking and feeling healthy, she was personable and friendly, I just love her! And, I LOVE MY HAIR! I have never had it this short before but I am totally thrilled. Revolution is easy to find, has a great atmosphere, friendly staff, good music and I didn't have any problems with parking. My boyfriend sat there the whole time and waited for me to get done and they even entertained him. He was very against me getting my hair cut off but he adores it! The owner, Jerri, is awesome! She called me back promptly to schedule an appointment and got me in just an hour after I called! EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT! I will never go anywhere else! Pros: The staff, the atmosphere, the skills! Cons: Absolutely NONE! more

I've gotten my hair cut at Revolution twice by the owner, Jerri Kangrga. She effectively cured me of my phobia of short hair - after bad haircut after bad haircut she showed me that I, too, could rock the short locks, and corrected some truly awful self-done box-color by adding some fun highlights. Everyone who works at the salon is totally personable and amazing - giving super-positive feedback during the haircut and just generally being conversational and completely fun. I have never liked any haircut I've ever gotten before I went to Revolution, and now I honestly can't imagine going anywhere else. Going to get my hair cut or getting any sort of professional esthetic upkeep has always been something I feared, but now I look forward to experiencing many more firsts at Revolution : next stop - facials and waxing! Pros: Everything! Cons: I don't have an excuse to go there every day. more

I started going to Revolution because it was close to my previous employment and now I go because I can't imagine wanting to go anywhere else! The outside looks almost like an old-fashioned saloon, but inside it's very modern and hip~ with really comfortable prices. From the first hair cut, my fabulous stylist-Betsy, made me feel at ease and she was confident about my hair, although hers was totally different than mine. The staff is great! So many great women who care so much about the details~both in your look as well as with what's going on in your life! It's a great atmosphere! Betsy did my Up-Do for my wedding, which was New Year's Eve~ And she still came in just for me~and made me feel she would've done it for anyone else! Service is just as important as expertise and I can't imagine anyone else being more fixated on that! My hair looked amazing! It felt so great to be confident that I would look great and knowing that I got EXACTLY the style I wanted! They have hip music, a nice urban feel, stylists from all backgrounds that know what's instyle and what fits each person. It's so important to get ideas on what's on the cover of magazines but still be supported if you want something totally different than that. They have lots of nail and spa services that I still am wanting to be able to do soon! If you live close to the Barbur area~or even if you live further away~it's REALLY worth the drive. Pros: Betsy (stylist), Friendly-fun staff, lots of services, very good prices, Hip-Modern style Cons: Location: is you live far from the Barbur area, parking area is small more

I found Revolution on citysearch a few months ago. My regular salon was closed and I was looking for a last minute haircut appointment. They were able to get me in on very short notice and I left very pleased with my new haircut. Since then I've been back for eyebrow waxes and every time I leave happy with the results. Everybody is very friendly and really works with you to make sure you are getting what you want. I will continue to go to Revolution for all of my beauty needs. Pros: Friendly staff, good work, nice atmosphere Cons: none more

I usually go to another salon but my stylist was out of town and I had to get my hair colored and cut ASAP for an event I was going to that weekend. I drove by Revolution a few days before so I decided to look it up online. I saw it had pretty good reviews so I decided to check it out. The inside is decorated very nicely, and the staff are very friendly. But that is the ONLY good thing about this salon!! I got a cut and color. The cut was VERY VERY uneven. Strands longer than others, she did a horrible job layering my hair as well. I picked a color out and it turned out NOTHING like the color I chose even though this "professional" hair stylist next to me told me it would. I also ended up paying MORE than I would at my other stylist....definitly not worth my money! I cried when I got home. I have never had such a horrible hair cut/color since I went to a beauty school about 4 years ago. I'm not kidding. It was that bad. I would never recommend this salon to anybody. Pros: Friendly staff, clean inside, decorated cute. Cons: Awful stylist - could not cut or color hair to save her life! more

I recently tried Revolution Hair and Body Salon and I am hooked! Not only is it an easy Southwest Portland location, the service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and I could not be happier with my cut and color. I have received more compliments on my hair and that means a great deal to a busy mom of three. I am anxious to try other services. more

Tired of living with substandard hair cuts? You don't have to. Revolution is awesome. Not only do I get a PERFECT cut every time I go... they also remember my name. All I can say is hurry in NOW before they realize they are the best in town and raise their prices! I have had my hair cut there by different stylists and they all are true professionals. Why waste time and money somewhere else? Can't recommend this place highly enough! more

The gals at Revolution are not just customer-service style friendly--they are genuine women who connect on personal level while providing outstanding hair & nail services. They communicate clearly and directly about your services and expectations. My first time to Revolution, my cousin and I received side-by-side pedicures which were fantastic. Then, we both had haicuts, also fantastic. My cousin had highlights done and was thrilled with the quality of the results. I had acrylic fingernails done and they turned out beautifully. When I needed to get them filled two weeks later, Revolution was able to get me right in and do another beautiful job. I'm hooked!! more

Revolution Hair and Body Salon is by far the friendliest salon in town. They cater to your every need. I am a frequent customer for hair services. In fact my entire family is taken care of here. I loved the service I received for hairstyling so I decided to try some of the other services offered at thesalon. The esthetician Gigi, is phenomenal. I loved the products they used and her technique was fabulous. My skin felt great after the facial. What I really liked was the attention to detail and how my skin looked after the treatment. I've had facials at some other well known spas in the area and this one by far surpassed my expectations! Bottom line is great customer service, great products and I look and feel great! Pros: Great location easy to find. Fabulous, friendly staff Cons: Parking can be tight more

The Salon was clean and the people very friendly. I filled out paperwork and was taken in for my facial immediately. The salon is small so the music is appropriate where they are cutting/styling hair but when you are trying to relax for a facial it competes with the other music. A lot of street noise (right on busy Barbur). The facial itself was AVERAGE. No sink in the room. The esthetician spent very little time doing massage and what was done was very "hurried" so not terribly relaxing. Pros: Friendly and accomodating Cons: Loud/competing music and road noise. Not terribly relaxing more

Revolution has been nothing but a great experience everytime I've gone there. Whether it's downstairs in a private tanning area, or in the private massage room or upstairs in the esthetician's room or out in the salon, each place within Revolution is unique and special. The esthetician there is hands down, the best "waxer" I've ever had. She even does the best Brazilian's! The owners, Jerri and Kevin are just super. They really make you feel a part of their family. They have energy and style that just keeps you radiating for the day! Everyone there is great and unique. Check them out for a full day of pampering! Pros: Private areas for each type of service, super easy to find. Right on/off the Freeway. Cons: On Barbur so it's a bit noisier, but they really do a good job of creating a peaceful place more

Revolution is just that. This is a small spa, but big on customer service and friendliness. The employees will make you feel like you have known them forever. They have a wide variety of services ranging from the usual hair and nails to massage, tanning etc. There prices are competetive with other salons. I felt nutured, pampered and in the end given more than I could have ever expected. You see, I have the most naturally curly hair you have ever seen. I needed a change. A change to help motivate me to change some things. I walked into REVOLUTION without an appointment and was immediately greeted by friendly and smiling folks ready to assist me with anything I wanted. I had to be somewhere in 4 hours and after 3and a half hours and 2 employees giving me their every moment of care, I walked out of REVOLUTION a new woman. I have straight hair now and love it. Thank you REVOLUTION for CARING ENOUGH TO GIVE ME YOUR VERY BEST!! Pros: Courtesy, knowledge, customer service, services offered more
