Both Amanda and Trish are amazing hair stylist! Just last week i had a hair appointment with Amanda and honestly, i've never had so many complements!! ** I just went from blond to brunette, which can be a scary transition if in the wrong hands!** But Amanda blessed me with a beautiful color that looks natural. I now feel my hair matches my personality and age : ) Also, 1 month ago while photo-doubling, Trish worked on my hair on the set of "Life uneXpected." She was amazing as well, everyone on set-including the Director was impressed with her talent to make my hair look precisely like the actress I was doubling for. Thank you Trish! Thank you Amanda! Pros: great location, friendly staff, up-to-date on latest trends Cons: $ not cheap, but worth the price :]

The stylists at the salon invited teen mothers and girls in residential treatment to a morning of, hair styles, make up and pampering. The stylists were kind and respectful and treated all the girls like queens for the day. For the girls who were unable to make it to the salon, the stylists brought the salon to them. They provided hair cuts and make up where the girls lived. The stylists did an awesome job and made it really special for those girls. The folks at Arabella really care!!! Pros: Socially Conscience Cons: none

When I first moved to Portland, I never thought I would find a hairstylist that fits the grade, until a friend introduced me to the amazing Sarah Bandy. Sarah has been styling my hair for over two years, and in that time she has gained my valued trust and friendship. My hair cuts and color only get better and fit my needs as her creative ideas roll in sync with what I am looking for. Several of my friends I have recommended her to, are now new eager clients. I am sharing the hair secret my friend shared with me two years ago; if you are in search of a malleable and innovative hair stylist, do yourself a favor and consider Sarah Bandy at Arabella Salon. Pros: awesome stylist! Cons: never

I had been looking for someone to trust with my hair and i read so many good reviews on Jena I decided to giver her a try. It was very convenient since she starts at 6am so I can get my hair done before I need to go into work. I went in the first time not knowing what I wanted and some how it turned out better than what I could have dreamed of. I recently went back to get highlights in to give my hair texture for an up-do for a wedding I was in, She listened to what I needed I gave me highlights that look natural, hide when I have my hair down, and makes my hair look amazing when its up. I couldn't ask for anything more. I have never done anything dramatic to my hair but in her hands I feel like anything she does will make me look amazing in the end. My next appointment is for a Keratin treatment to straighten out my frizzy hair. She gave me a lot of information on it, and gave me good advice whether I should do it or not because of my hair type. She knows her stuff! I wouldn't place my hair in anyone else's hands! Pros: Scheduling time, can get my hair done early, before work Cons: Can't take her home with me so she can do my hair everyday!

The people are nice, the atmosphere is relaxing and pretty and the services are local and organic. The location, although at first somewhat odd, is actually perfect for this type of business.

One of the best stylists I have ever had. I sat in his chair and he looked and my hair and could tell me what products I used and how I took care of my hair. You can tell his heart is in his work. Well worth the time, trip and $$$. You will not only walk away with a great haircut, but you will have a better understanding of how to care for your hair! Thanks, Steven Pros: Super haircut and style Cons: Parking

Sarah B at Arabella knows what she's doing. I have been a client for about a year. She did my hair for my wedding, and I've been seeing her ever since. When I took the plunge 4 months ago and cut my hair short, Sarah did an amazing job. I get daily compliments about how cute and fresh it is. If you're considering going short or updating your look, you really need someone who knows what's going to look good on you (and tells you honestly!) and can pull it off. Sarah is the best! Pros: She is talented and fun Cons: None
