Salon 17

I went into Salon 17 knowing that I needed a change but not knowing exactly how~I was getting so frustrated with my faded, damaged hair that I was almost ready to give up on it. I made an appt with Jeremy, the master stylist, hoping that he could help me and since i didn't know exactly what i wanted, we first had a chat about what i did and did not like about my hair and what my daily beauty routine was. From there we were able to determine what was good for me and most importantly, what i could maintain on my own after leaving the salon. I gotta say~ I had wanted hair like this for years, but just resigned myself to the fact that it would never happen~until now! I feel so good about how I look~the colors he chose look phenomenal on me! I get compliments all the time~so I wanted to return the favor and give my compliments to Jeremy and the staff at Salon 17! I will be a customer for life~thank you! Pros: Trendy, High Class Salon Cons: No complaints more

Liz is the best! I am so excited about my hair. I have had more compliments on my hair. The color and cut are out of this world. Thanks for changing my life. MUAH! Pros: fun salon, everyone was laughing and enjoying themselfs Cons: 1 glass of whine more

Thanks for a wonderful jeremy. Its nice to know that there a hairdresser out there that listens, and knows all the latest, trendy styles. The staff is great also. Pros: good parking, friendly saff more

I went and got my hair done by Jeremy at Salon 17 and he was amazing! My color was great and all night everyone was asking me who did my hair and where I got it done at! I am going back there cause it so nice to find a hair dresser with perspective and listens to what you want!!! Jeremy you ROCK! Pros: Parking, Next to the mall, great staff Cons: none more

Pretty good place. A little pricy but over all good. The people are nice, quite friendly. The techniques are up to date and its clean. They know how to give the customer what they want, although the prices are slightly questionable. Pros: location, friendly people Cons: prices more

I just want to thank everyone who has written a review on here for Salon 17. I am currently searching for a new stylist as the one that I have had for the past 7 years is moving to Bend. Salon 17 is closer to where I live and I was thinking about trying them out. After reading the reviews it sounds like I would be better off going to a Best Cuts than associating with the unprofessional owner and not so great VERY overpriced sercive. Thanks so much! more

Dishonest..and not worth it...be ready to spend over $250.00..beware that you will be charged for everything...ask in advance what you will be charged for. Inform the hair dresser that you would like to know every time there is going to be an additional charge..a hair cut coast me over $250.00. Prepare yourself... ask what you will be charged for in advance..ask to see the prices..understand what you will be charged for before you sit in the chair...!! Pros: parking Cons: Socks it to you with the bill... more

My entire family has thick, curly, difficult to cut hair. My daughter and I both require a skilled stylist and someone who knows how to thin and texture hair without using thinning shears. This gives the appearance of a smooth, well shaped head, but it also requires precision balance and movement in the cut, very difficult. We normally go to Toni & Guy. There are some very skilled, formally trained, hair artists at some upscale places and they can do amazing things with your hair, however, this place is not one of them. I think the owner Jen aspires to be that, but she doesn't have the talent. I was charged $95 for a shampoo, cut and style for my daughter. Then Jen tried to push a bunch of over priced products on me. I went to this place because I didn't want to drive to Portland to go to Toni & Guy, (where the stylists are trained in these techniques). This haircut was like a trainee hair cut at Toni & Guy. She did not know how to deal with the body and bulk of the hair even though she assured me she did. They have spent a lot of money on the build-out of the Salon and are trying to fool people into thinking they are upscale. Excuse me; you have to have the skill and talent to go with the luxury. People can see through the facade. She also tried to speak French to us, put us in massage chairs, offered us wine and then bragged on what a talent she is. She tried to talk hair with me and name drop some of the more famous and notable hair people in the industry. None of this would have bothered me if I just could have received the haircut I paid for. What a waste of money. I WON'T GO BACK! I wish I would have taken the advice of the other negative reviews on this board but I was in a bind. From now on I will drive to Portland and go only to Toni & Guy. I hope this helps anyone who is thinking about going there. Pros: Nice interiors, they offer relaxing music and a nice atmosphere. They also offer wine Cons: The stylists tout themselves as highly trained and that was not my experience. more

This was the best salon I have ever been to. I loved the cut, and color, my hair has never looked better. Rena was the most skilled sweet wonderful stylist ever. more

bad bad bad bad, pressure pressure pressure, way too expensive!!! what is this LA and nobody told me? do not go here, the owner does not listen to you, and does not do what you ask...DO NOT GO HERE I am telling you will be greatly disappointed.. Pros: beautiful salon, location Cons: snobby staff, price to high, sales pressure more

I got a coupon for them when they opened up, so I decided to try a different stylist from my regular one. Big mistake, the kid turned my hair yellow and it was awful. Pros: none Cons: inexperienced staff, pushy more

I made an appointment with Jennifer but got stuck with someone else who turned my hair a greyish color....very disapointing. They also didn't tell me it would cost me $200.00! Fratangelos sucks Salon 17 sucks even more more

I believe it would be the blonde gal that owns the place. I usually dont rate places like this, but I just had to tell everyone not to go since it was so horrible of an experience. They might as well change their name from "Salon 17" to "Hack Job $165" The inexperienced stylist could have just stuck my hair in a meat grinder and gotten the same results as what she did to me. Then she tryed talking me into coloring what stubbles were left. What a horrible feeling in my gut. I gues thats why they make hats. Pros: None Cons: inexperienced, pushy, bad atmosphere more

I truly am amazed that Jennifer is still in business. I spent time at Fratangelos and have read the reviews of Salon 17 and I have to say it is obvious this womans ethics are wrong...It is all about getting as much money out of the client as possible, I even heard her say once that she would pass off all clients unwilling to buy product as she doesn't want those kinds of clients..sure we all want to make money but to screw up someones hair and still expect them to pay you a ridiculous price and tip and buy products to boot shows you where this womans head is, up her butt. I have not seen the "shampoo area" but it sounds like a gimmick and to charge extra is just asking too much of the clientele of this demographic..get real Jennifer and wake up you are in Hillsboro remember? and btw, she does not make guest appearances at the Bellagio or go to LA for special presentations either..she is full of BS and she will go under just like she did with Fratangelos. Pros: location Cons: attitude, liars about education and experience, they have to sell lots of product owner requires it more

I started going to Fratangelo's fairly recently when my stylist moved there. However, when my stylist quit the previous week, I was not told prior to my appointment, and then when I arrived, they had the audacity to lie to me and say they left me a message. Another customer arrived later for an appointment with the same stylist, so it wasn't just me. Deception or incompetence, either way, I'm not going back. And yes, they are very pushy with their hair products. more

I have had some bad hair cuts in the past but not this time! I saw Deedra and I was so scared to see someone new but she treated me so wonderfully! Her skills and great personality was worth the search. I'll never go to anyone else. Thanks Deedra!!!!!!! Pros: Great Skills , Great Service Cons: none more

This debate has been raging for years on Citysearch, think I know why. My experience was: extremely pushy sales and the owner/stylist was grim and even made little insulting asides. She was in a nasty mood that day and took it out on a client. However I went because a woman who worked for me has a beautiful, sophisticated short cut and color and loves her. Given those two different experiences with the same person it looks like both camps in Citysearch ("terrible!" or "wonderful") are both right - it could go either way. I look forward to hair appointments as fun and relaxing, so why take a risk? Cons: , pushiness more

Fratangelos is what a salon is supposed to be. I went there because it was close to where I work and they have evening appointments but I was amazed. I saw Jennifer and she gave me not only the best cut I've ever gotten, fabulous service and "how to" lesson regarding the style. Thank you and I'll definately be back. Pros: quality work, on max line, fashionable more

My experience was scary- I paid a lot of money for a girl to butcher my head. Her solution was to color my hair (which I didn't let her). She actually said to me, "When all else fails, color it!" She knew it was a terrible cut and that's all she had to say. Stay away! Pros: good parking, right off MAX Cons: , high prices more

i tell people to steer clear. bad haircut, worse makeup application and nearly $75 later i was nearly in tears at the hack job. more
