From the moment I walk in that store, everything else falls away, because Sarah is dedicated to her clients. The moment you sit in her chair, she gives you her best. She's been at...

I can say first off that I have been a client of this salon for awhile until today. The stylist that I have been seeing is wonderful, but I feel sorry for anyone working there hav...

User review by mkingsley 4/4/2005

Marciano is Ziva's brightest new talent. He is very knoweldgable about contemporary cutting styles and color technique. He obviously has a natural gift for hair. I have personally had hair cuts and color treatments and can reecommend him to anyone. Pros: creative, knowledgeable, intuitive more

Spectacular Experience/ Thank you Paulino! 3/29/2005

The staff members at Ziva are well educated and informative. If you want a wonderful salon experience and tips to upkeep your look, come here! I have fine curly hair, and have been looking for a stylist that understands the challenges I face. Paulino took one look and started the razor flying. I came away with a style I love and can keep up on my own!! Pros: knowledgable staff, great facility, friendly staff Cons: parking more

Paulino 3/17/2005

I have had my hair cut at several salons, and I have always been disappointed until I found Paulino. He has been cutting and styling my hair for three years and I have been thrilled every time. I have very fine curly hair, and until I found Paulino, it was usually a frizzy mess. I am actually comfortable enough with Paulino's artistic skill and expertise that I let him decide how to cut and style it. He is absolutely fantastic and has the capability to make anyone's hair look fabulous. I recommend him to all of my friends, and they are as enamored with his work as I am. If you are at all unhappy with your hair, you should go and see Paulino! Pros: Comfortable, Not-Pushy more

User review by manjica 3/2/2005

Hilary is amazing. She has the intuition and the skill of a true artist. Id recommend her to those who value a hairstylist who knows how to listen. As she was blowdrying my hair and my knew hairstyle started taking shape I knew it was going to absolutely love it. Don't you love that feeling? more

A salon that actualy listens!!!! 2/15/2005

I have had some hair nightmares before. Where the stylist does not listen to a word you say or what you want. This is the place to go if you want your hair to look amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! Pros: good service, friendly Cons: bad parking more

Paulino is the man! 2/14/2005

I was a little skeptical to bring my wife to Ziva, because of all of our failed attempts at other hair salons, despite all the great reviews I read here. But I am definitely a believer now. Ziva is the place to cut your hair in Portland, period! If you give this place a chance you will wish you found out about it earlier! My wife use to live in Hong Kong and she was VERY skeptical to cut her hair again in the US, because so many places messed it up. But Paulino, the excellent hair stylist, gave my wife exactly what she was looking for. He was very nice and professional treating her hair as if it was his own. I am so excited about her hair and its not even mine! We definitely found our official hair stylist, big thanks to the talented Paulino!! You rock man! Pros: Excellent service, Professional quality, Great advices more

Becoming you! 2/12/2005

I was not born with the thick, luscious hair you see in commercials. My partner convinced me to give Paulino, a senior stylist at Ziva, a call after years of frustration with my limp hair. He gave me a cut that made me look more like me! He figured out who I was and gave me hair that accentuated my personality. He suggested some simple products that helped my hair look great weeks after my salon visit. Thanks Ziva, for providing unique and excellent service. Pros: not pushy, customer oriented, effective products Cons: parking more

Best Salon Experience Ever! 2/11/2005

I was recommended to another salon, but decided to go here when I saw that it got so many glowing reviews. I called and asked for someone who could whip my long straight damaged blonde hair back into shape. I set up an appointment with Molly and she was awesome! She sat down and listened to everything I had to say and she had some great ideas so I trusted her. I walked out feeling sexy and great about my new bangs and dark brown hair. Everyone was very nice and unpretentious. The appointment began about 15 minutes late, but luckily I didn't have anywhere to be. Anyway, after she finished, Molly showed me what she did to style it and a few other ways to wear it. I will definitely be going back! Thanks so much! Pros: Friendly employees, Expertise, Continuous Training Cons: No sales pressure more

Paulino 12/12/2004

I want to tell you all about my stylist Paulino... He consistently provides superior service, professional quality and beautiful results. He is a warm and friendly person who cares about quality, good service and takes great pride in his work. Paulino's talents are world class. Anyone who visits him will not be disappointed. As long as I live in the Portland area I will be a devoted client.... Thanks Paulino! Pros: Superior Service, Professional Quality, Beautiful Results more

the search ends here 12/11/2004

Molly Scrutton is brilliant! She has vision, expertise, style, she is cutting edge (no pun intended). A true artist. As a bonus she's friendly, sincere, an excellent listener, responsive with good memory. All qualities which are important to me when I am counting on a hair style that is user-friendly, hip, flattering and feels great (which I received each time!). My experience at the salon has been wonderful. All there create an uplifting environment. The finger of Ziva is on the pulse! Pros: reasonably priced, sensory support, hip/outstanding more

Search No Further: Paulino & Co @ Ziva! 11/23/2004

New to PDX, my searcg began ... Ziva had a nicely laid out website that allowed me to get more ideas of what to expect. Although all of the stylists that I read about seemed like they would be great, I went with Paulino for my cut. I was not disappointed! He did a superb job. The rest of the staff was extremely nice as well. Paulino sets you at ease and I got the sense that he really cared about what I wanted. This is obviously the case as all of the other reviews here indicate the same. Alder & Kristoffer seemed very helpful and more than capable as well. I get the feeling that whoever you see here, you can't go wrong. I have shoulder length hair w/bangs & wanted a cut that was layered well to allow me some options for some different looks. Paulino came through! Pros: Attentive, Skilled, Friendly & Casual more

Go see PAULINO at ZIVA! 10/3/2004

I've been to several salons in the NW district which claim to be the ""top"" but they didn't compare to Ziva. I was making a major hair change (bangs!) and wanted the best, so I called Paulino and was totally impressed. He spent time listening to what I wanted and making suggestions which were realistic AND stylish. He spent the entire time working only with me, giving my hair his full attention, unlike some other salons where the stylist is mulit-tasking to fit in as many people as possible. Paulino showed me how to keep my hair looking good between cuts and recommended some products I could afford on a student budget. Paulino is worth his asking price and more, you can't beat his knowledge and attention. Pros: friendly, attentive, stylish Cons: , parking-leave early more

Hands down, the BEST in Portland! 8/25/2004

Here I am, an L.A. transplant, who doesn't know a soul in Portland. Heartbroken over leaving my genius of a hairdresser, which is the only thing worth missing; I tried a few of the ""Top"" salons. They both left me depressed. And then, there was Ziva...and Molly. Skeptical, I just rolled in w/out an appointment. Molly took me in, listened intentively(on par w/ a pychologist!), corrected my hair color to perfection, and gave me everything I asked for. What a relief it is to know you're in capable hands. She was a consummate pro/artist, REAL, and a pleasure to talk to. And, she has offered to trim my bangs, free, in between cuts. You can never pay too much for the right cut, and this was right ON! Not to mention the customer service team, who were lovely. Hip, efficient, talented and valuable. Thanks Molly, I'll be back. Pros: Skilled staff, Beautiful Service, Products more

Ziva & Paulino are great! 7/13/2004

I am balding and graying and dont like it. So, I tried many salons trying to get a haircut with some style and not one came through and I was disillusioned.. Thank goodness my wife talked me into going to see Paulino at Ziva. He is absolutely the best hairdresser I've ever met. He really knows his stuff, both cut and products, and he's a great guy too. My hair finally has some great style and Paulino trims my neck for free between cuts. So my hair always looks great. Not cheap, but worth every cent! Pros: style, friendly, great service more

2 great haircuts 7/10/2004

I'm a 55 year old man and I came to see Alder with a foot and a half pony tail and a picture. He did exactly what I wanted, and when it didn't work out he did it over the way he thought it should be. He brought my hair into the 21st century. It's easy to care for and always looks good. My wife loves it and plans to see Alder herself. Pros: friendly, modern, talented more

Thank You, Alder 7/4/2004

Before I came to Ziva I had to wear my hair up everyday because it was too dry and damaged to wear down. I had no idea what to do with my hair. Alder saved me! My hair is now well cut, healthy, and I can always wear it down. I always leave Ziva happy. Thank you, Alder. Pros: on time, helpful more

Ziva Salon rocks my world 6/13/2004

Paulino at Ziva Salon is a sweet hairstylist. He is hip and knows how to give a stylish new do for people of all shapes and sizes! Pros: professional, hip, current Cons: , parking on 23rd? more

Ziva is great! 6/10/2004

I have long hair which has been cut by myself or my family for years. I hated it. I tried another salon in town...they were a bit cheaper, but they didn't seem to know much more than I did. I was disillusioned, but thought I'd try one more time. Hallelujah! I love Ziva, and Paulino is absolutely the best hairdresser I've ever met. He really knows his stuff, inside and out, and he's just pleasant and friendly too. It's so comfortable and my hair looks great for weeks. It's not cheap, but it's so worth it! Pros: Paulino, Staff, Knowledgable more

The Best in Portland! 6/9/2004

When I moved from San Francisco to Portland, I wondered how I would ever replace my hairstylist. When purchasing a product at Ziva, I was delighted to discover that Ziva was a salon and that Paulino was the senior hairstylist. I have been going to Paulino at Ziva for more than two years now and I have to say that Paulino is the best stylist I have ever had. He corrected my hair color and gave me a style that has generated many compliments from all kinds of people. When my twenty-one year old, style-conscious stepdaughter visits, she always insists on going to Ziva because they give her the latest classy look. Everyone at Ziva is dedicated to their profession, always learning, and taking training courses, yet they are so unpretentious and client centered. I think Ziva is, without a doubt, the best hair salon in Portland. Pros: Great People, Paulino, Well Trained more

Ziva Salon Highly Recommended 5/25/2004

Ziva Salon is great! The stylist I have always seen there is Paulino Borja. He is a very talented Colorist/Designer. I've had my hair cut and colored by him numerous times, I recommend him to everyone I know and I even have my husband going there for his cuts and color. Paulino is on the cutting edge of fashion and is very particular about everything he does to your hair. He takes into account the look you are going for and adds his own expertise. Try him out, you'll be totally satisfied. Pros: Professional, Relaxing more
