Jena is the best!!! 7/10/2006

I went to Jena Strauss at Studio 355 in Corvallis for hair color and cuts for about 2 years when I went to school at OSU and after I graduated I continued to drive down there from Portland for another year because she's the best stylist I've ever been to. I am so glad to hear that she's moved up to Portland to the Arabella Salon. Ive had Jena do countless hair colors and styles for me and she always has great suggestions, is friendly and professional, and I have always been thrilled with her work! I was referred to Jena by a friend of mine and I have referred countless of my friends to her because she is the best! more

Now I have to drive to Portland for Jenna! 6/28/2006

I've been going to Jenna at Studio 355 Salon in Corvallis for the past year, and she's the best stylist I've ever had. She's friendly and professional, and very current on the latest in styles and cuts. She offers great suggestions, and is great about listening to what I want. She takes the time to get to know your hair, and thinks about what cuts and treatments will work best for your hair's texture and your face shape. I wish she was still in Corvallis, because now I'll have to drive to Arabella's every time I need my hair cut! more

My Loss is Arabella's Gain - JENA IS THE BEST!!! 6/25/2006

I went to Jena almost 2 years ago in Corvallis, and never looked back. She made my hair look like I never thought it would. When I sit down, I never tell her what to do, and I am always more than happy. Over the years, I have gotten many compliments that resulted in new loyal clients for Jena. She stays up on the newest techniques and offers them to her clients before other salons even know about them. I recently moved to Atlanta, GA, and got my hair done just a few days before I left. I am planning my next visit to Oregon to coincide with my next hair appt. with Jena! Try her, you will not be dissapointed!!! more

My favorite hairstylist, Jena, is now here in Portland! HOORAY! 6/22/2006

Not only does Arabella Salon have a wonderful, funky atmosphere, my FAVORITE hairstylist of all time is now working there... Jena!!! I first met her in Corvallis where we happened to know mutual people. She asked me where I got my hair done & offered to try something different w/my hair. I took her up on the offer & have been a dedicated client EVER since! She has an amazing eye & talent for what hair style & color will highlight a person's particular face shape, complexion & lifestyle. She will work w/a person's comfort zone, but will gently encourage you to try something new if she nows it will look fabulous! I should know... because I always get compliments on my hair when she does it. When I moved from Corvallis, up to Portland, I dreaded trying new salons. I've tried a couple of salons around the PDX area & have been disappointed because they aren't close to Jena's talent & expertise! How lucky for us in Portland that Jena had decided to make the trek north! If you are looking for a hair style that will guarantee to give you attention, go & see Jena... you will not be disappointed! more

You Must Get Extensions Done Here! 4/26/2006

I came in for my first appointment with Amanda with a very specific idea of what I wanted. Amanda was the first stylist Ive ever had that was not only able to capture exactly what I had pictured but also recommend-not pressured- ideas that perfectly flattered my face, hair color and type. I had never had extensions in my life, knew nothing about them, and really wanted to try them-maybe for just a month or two so as to allow myself to indulge.I loved my extensions so much that I have now had them for about a year and have no plans of parting with them. The best methods are used to insure no hair damage,and actually, the result is healthier hair. And no one-not even other hair stylists can tell I have extensions.Thanks Amanda and Piper!! Pros: extensions more

Saved!! 4/25/2006

You will love this place!! The stylists know their stuff and I am very satisfied. Nice location, very nice loft salon, very friendly, relaxing and personable. Had a bad experience at former salon once my stylist/colorist left. My hair color badlly needed correction. Had begun using box color again after losing my colorist and not liking what they did with my hair after she left. The products Arabella uses are the best. Piper worked on me and did an excellent job. She is very sweet, friendly, patient. After cutting my hair, I booked a training session on blow drying and it was well worth it. Piper is on her way to being a top-notch hair stylist/colorist. I love what she did to my hair. I look forward to doing different things in the future. I have complete faith and trust in her and Arabella. more

User review by sillybillie 4/12/2006

I have been roaming the streets of Portland for 3 years now with subpar haircuts then finally a friend told me about Bethann. I have never in my life been as comfortable in a strangers hands as I was with Bethann. You will love the salon its comfortable- clean and on my last visit I saw the rooftop garden which is lovely.Bethann gave me the best haircut Ive ever had ever. So thanks alot to her and I cant wait to go back! Cons: parking more

Stephanie's Supreme Facials 2/26/2006

I have seen Stephanie for both 30- & 60- minute facials. The shorter ones will efficiently treat your skin's needs and send you on your way, while the longer ones allow Stephanie to really specialize the facial to your needs, and give you extra pampering! She also offers great specials more

Let Stephanie take care of business! 2/26/2006

I was a brazillian virgin until Stephanie! It goes faster and less painfully then french waxes I've had elsewhere. I felt comfortable and love her work. So does my guy. Parking has always been okay for me, too. Thanks Stephanie!!! See you in 6 weeks!! Pros: Friendly, Fast more

Refreshing! 2/21/2006

Finally - a salon that is trendy and fun, but comfortable and friendly! I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Arabella, and can't wait to go back. Jesse was wonderful - he took lots of time to really understand what I wanted, gave me great advice, and I LOVE the end result. more

Best hair salon in Portland! 2/10/2006

I love this salon!! Amanda Williams is an amazingly talented hair stylist. Not only that, she is also a very nice person to spend a couple of hours with! I love my hair cuts and color, and I love the hair products I buy there (best I've ever had after 33+ years of trying everything). Pros: Hanging out on the sunny deck while waiting for your color to process Cons: Non more

Amanda Williams Hair Extraordinaire 2/9/2006

Amanda Williams (Arabella's creator) has been making my hair the envy of my friends for 13 years. This woman knows hair - she knows what your hair will and won't do, she knows what will look good or bad, she's a color expert, and she's creative. She keeps abreast of the latest trends, fashions, and most importantly techniques. Her hair-ability never ceases to amaze me. In 13 years I have NEVER been dissatisfied, my hair always looks good thanks to Amanda. She is so highly skilled. She made me beautiful on my wedding day while keeping me calm and collected. The fabulous hair cuts and great conversations keep me coming back, but additionally, Amanda has created a beautiful and comfortable atmosphere with Arabella. It is chic but not snobbish. Stylish but never uninviting. Do your hair a favor, and become the envy of your friends, go visit Amanda at Arabella. Pros: Great hair!, Great salon, Great location Cons: none! more

A True Artist 2/8/2006

I have been coming to Amanda for both hair cuts and colors for at least 6 years now. She is so incredibly talented and I ALWAYS receive compliments on my hair. Arabella carries a great variety of products and Amanda is always searching for new items that will improve her customers' hair. She even introduced me to a new brush that has made me put away my flat iron - SOO much healthier for my hair. I love being in her salon and my appointments always fly by. She has created a wonderful sanctuary from the music, to the decor, to the plants on her roof-top garden. Amanda is also a wonderfully talented makeup artist - come see her for help in this area as well!! Her schedule fills up fast, so call ahead. I assure you, she's worth the wait!!! Pros: Great atmosphere, Wonderful product, Superb cut and color more

Wanted to feel sassy 2/7/2006

complimentsI've been seeing Amanda for three years now and I can't imagine finding a more hip hair stylist in Portland. I always feel more sassy after my visit with Amanda. She is always upbeat, and has the newest techniques. In September she created the most beautiful hairstyle for my wedding. I had so many ideas and couldn't decide........ After her consultation I decided on a very classic style that was a hit. I received more compliments on how perfect my hair fit the style of my dress. A PERFECT 10! more

Amazing atmosphere, spectacular services 2/3/2006

I just had my appointment with up-and-comer Piper and she was wonderful. I had gone to Amanda previously and kept coming back over the years because of her extreme talent and personability. My schedule suddenly conflicted with Amanda's and so I went to her licensed assistant, Piper, who certainly proved a worthy protege. The salon is stunningly beautiful and the stylists make you feel comfortable and welcome. The scalp massage/ hand massage is a definite plus, as is the warm and inviting conversation. These stylists are highly trained, but seem to see their profession as a constant opportunity for learning and growth. more

Beth Ann Pulliam - she is THE one!! 1/13/2006

I just had my second appointment with Beth Ann for cut and color. I felt very confident about her technical skills and completely comfortable with her artistic ability, so I just pointed out a few hairstyles I liked and then told her to cut my hair the way she thought would look best. WOW!! This is the best hair cut I have ever had because it moves well, is easy to style and defintely reflects my personality. The updated haircut makes me look and feel at least 10 years younger. Her cuts and coloring are far superior to anyone I ever worked with in the San Francisco Bay Area. Make an appointment before everyone finds out about her. Pros: excellent skills, listens to clients, customized cuts more

Beth Ann is a Gem!!! 1/8/2006

Beth Ann is fabulous!!! I am new to the area and am very particular about who I allow to cut and color my hair. I found Beth Ann through City Search, scheduled an appointment and was very impressed with her from the start. Beth Ann is very sweet and personable and is an incredible stylist with a natural ability. She works quickly and effortlessly and makes you feel comfortlable every step of the way with her easy manner. I highly recommend Arabella Salon and Beth Ann for those especially picky consumers. Pros: great value, neat area, beautiful salon Cons: a little hard to find more

Heaven here in PDX. 12/22/2005

bethann is so much fun. she helped me everystep of the way with creating a haircut that would fullfill all my daily needs and still make me feel young , fun and sexy! she is the first person who has ever tackled the apparently daunting task of providing BOTH an awesome cut and color! Pros: bethann, davines, cool space Cons: parking more

Great Place! 12/13/2005

Had makeup and a brow wax/tint done with Stephanie (who was incredibly nice and talented)! She was great -- it was very relaxing, and she seemed like one of my girlfriends. I've never had someone who was so honest, and asked me to do the same (ie: Please tell me if you like this or not, I promise it won't hurt my feelings). Highly recommended! Pros: talented, awesome space, friendly and honest Cons: none more

A bad experience... 12/6/2005

After careful consideration and urging by family and friends, I have decided to write a review on my experience at this salon. I had read the previous reviews and felt this was a great place to get a haircut and color. I was given the WORSE haircut of my life that has sent me into hiding. I called and complained to the stylist and was given the option of coming back in and having it fixed, but I did not want anymore cut off. I was offered all my money back, but was given only the money for the haircut. I still feel the color was not worth the money I paid. I also asked for the owner to call me and I still have not heard back from her. It will take MONTHS before my hair is normal again. more
