I found Mendy and Salon au Rouge on craigslist last year, and the first time I walked in the door, I knew I had found a gem of a salon. The owner and the women who work there are friendly and funny, and each of my visits has been enjoyable and relaxing. The decor, ""Parisian loft"" is chic yet relaxed and welcoming.\r
Mendy is my hairstylist, and I freakin' LOVE her! By far, the best cut/color I've had in my life, and I'm 38 so I've had plenty, and hands down she's the best. And affordable, too! I am moving to Seattle in a couple of weeks, and I am heartbroken that I've finally found the hairstylist for me....in Portland! I am seriously considering making the drive just for the cut and color from Mendy, that's how good she is. Finding a stylist who makes you look great, and is a pleasure to converse with, that's priceless. I can't say enough good things!
Pros: Ambience, conversation, friendly staff, eco friendly products
Cons: Isn't in Seattle! :-)
