Pearle Vision

I have extremely curly hair, that boarders on frizzy. Portland rainy weather just kills it. It's also highlighted to hide my way to premature grey. Straightening this for me at home is normally a two hour task. I have had it relaxed before in LA, a couple of years ago with disastrous results. (My stylist was unsure of how to do the procedure on highlighted hair.) Seeking more expert help this time I consulted Citysearch. After emailing someone who wrote a review. I went to Jon Nickell at Hair Architects to have a japanese thermal straightener. He is so knowledgeable in his craft. All I can say is "SMOOTH and SILKY PERFECTION!!!" My hair has body and bounce, unlike with the relaxer. I'm loving my hair, and continue to receive daily complements. Pros: Parking in front or back, Highly skilled, Fun to talk to Cons: none...was a wonderful experience. more

I went to Susan of Hair Architects on the recommendation of a coworker, who's nails I've always thought look great. Boy am I ever glad I did. It was the most incredible experience. Not only do my nails look fabulous, but the skin on my feet feel just as soft a week later. Susan was able to remove an embarrassing spot of hard callus without causing me pain, a first for me. This woman really knows her business. It was the BEST money I've ever spent. I will definitely be back. Pros: Susan --Price--Accommodating Staff Cons: NONE more

I just love the people here and EVERY time I get my hair cut I look like a million bucks! Thank you Jon! more
