Michelle is absolutely amazing! With having naturally red hair, I’ve always struggled to find a stylist that could understand the tone of my hair and how to incorporate highlights without losing my warmer undertone. When I first visited Michelle, she made a tremendous effort to discuss and understand my goals with maintenance, tone, and hair history. She took her time clarifying, engaging, and developing an experience that was personalized; while also helping me understand the process and educating me with new products. The results have been outstanding and exactly what I’ve tried to achieve for so long — Michelle is so gifted, kind, professional, and someone I can truly trust to take the reins. She is the best of the best!!

I moved to Portland and did a ton of research into trying to find someone to cut and color my hair. I came across Michelle and based on her pictures and reviews I booked an appointment with her and am so grateful to have found her. It’s always nerve wrecking going to someone new, but Michelle made me feel comfortable right away because I could tell she cared. I am pretty bad in being able to communicate exactly what I want but she talked through everything she was thinking and it is probably my favorite cut and blonde color I’ve ever had. I love it! She’s also fun to be around and talk to. My search for a new person ended on the first try!

I have been a client of Michelle’s for almost 20 years. She’s not only my stylist, but my friend. She always does an amazing job on my hair. She knows exactly what color and cut looks best on me. She knows the quirks of my hair like it shrinks a lot when it dries. She spends extra time with me if my hair needs it. And she cares about her clients. I couldn’t imagine going to anyone else. I look forward to my appointment every 6 weeks so we can catch up. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone else whose looking for an amazing color and cut and an enjoyable experience.

Since my usual hair stylist had moved, I have gone and seen so many different people for my hair and had no luck. That was until I came to Michelle and finally found my home again! She was so efficient and knew exactly what I wanted, without much of my help explaining, to be honest. I love the color of my blonde hair and get so many compliments on it, on the daily. I’m so glad I have found Michelle! I usually don’t write reviews, but after going to so many different salons and none of them working for me, I’m so thankful and happy that I have finally found Michelle!

If you’re looking for a new hair stylist look no further! Michelle is amazing! She consistently expands her education and experience by taking training courses to keep up with all the latest and greatest in the industry. Her Salon is adorable, always clean and welcoming, and is conveniently located right off the freeway. I came to her several years ago with over processed hair and a ton of breakage. Now she’s got my hair looking fabulous and I consistently get compliments. I could go on and on, but go check her out for yourself!

Michelle is so amazing! I’ve been seeing her since 2018 when I moved to Portland and I refuse to see anyone else. She always does the perfect color and cut, I never have to worry about how my hair will turn out or if I will like it-I always love it! She is so knowledgeable and talented in her profession and truly has a passion for her art which is reflected in her work. I appreciate her so much, not to mention she is a very kind and honest person and I always look forward to seeing her :).

Michelle was great to work with, I haven’t dyed my hair in a few years and she was able to walk me through all the necessary steps she was taking & after-care to keep my hair healthy & strong. My color is exactly what I was looking for and Michelle was great with turning my inspo into a reality. The scheduled time and length of service were exactly what I was expecting & very clean, safe practices were used. Looking forward to continuing my blonding with Michelle

Michelle did such an incredible job transforming my sad, limp, grown out hair! She gave me a fantastic haircut that gives body and shape to my thin hair and my blonde looks perfect - bright, well-blended and just what I wanted. I told her to do whatever she thought would look best and it definitely looks amazing! She’s also very personable and the salon is super cute, clean, and comfortable!

After 20 years with the same hair guy (who I loved) he retired and I was so nervous about finding someone new. I took WAY too long to do so and by the time I found Michelle, my hair was a disaster. I can say wholeheartedly that she is amazing! I am SO happy I found her! She is a true master of her craft and has made me love my hair again. If I could give her 10 stars, I would.

I’ve been going to Michelle for years and she’s been doing my blonde hair every time I go in. She always gets it to how I want it to be. She does an amazing job every time and also makes sure that my hair is healthy and takes care of it. Michelle is a sweet person and is fun to talk to while she’s doing your hair. She’s always up to date on trends as well!!

I had previously gone to another salon to try to go blonde and they did not give me the results that I wanted. Michelle went above and beyond to correct my hair and give me gorgeous blonde hair I was looking for! The salon looked clean and I was impressed with the professionalism shown. I look forward to returning for all my future hair transformations!

Michelle is the BEST! We all know how difficult it is to find a blonde expert - look no further! Michelle is so knowledgeable, creative, and studies the latest products, color trends and techniques - she is a true expert. My hair is fine, thin, long and brown and she has transformed it to a beautiful light blonde and it's still healthy! Highly recommend

Finding the right hair stylist can be a journey. I'm so pleased I found Michelle Allen - she knows blonde. I've been to Michelle 3 times and every time I leave I received compliments from friends and family on my hair. Michelle is a skilled colorist and I feel confident handing my hair over to her. I would highly recommend Michelle for cuts and color.

Michelle is quite literally the only person I trust to cut my curly hair! I'm able to come to her with a vague idea of what I'd like my hair to look like, ands she uses her creativity and talent to make it a reality. It's clear that she truly wants her clients to be happy. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get a stylish cut and color!

Each & every time I leave Michelle’s chair I leave feeling like I’m more myself. She is amazing with finding the perfect tone for my difficult blonde hair & has educated me on how to care for my hair. I can honestly say I have the best hair of my life, thanks to her. I enjoy the time spent in her company & she always makes me laugh (:

Michelle has been styling my hair since 2001, and she has created for me many wonderful looks! She is an artist and an alchemist when it comes to color. She performs magic with her scissors- no one has been able to master my thick, wavy, coarse hair like her. And lastly, she is a delightful woman who always makes me feel pampered.❤️

Recently moved to the area and needed a serious hair cut and color since I hadn’t had anything done since pre-pandemic. Michelle listened to what I wanted and followed through perfectly! She asked all the right questions and the end result was more than I could have asked for! Recommend 1000000%!

Michelle is amazing to work with. She was able to bring me out of my drab brown and into a beautiful dimensioned blonde. My hair feels so soft after this lift and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Michelle is beyond a magician and I recommend her completely for all of your blonding needs.

Michelle, has been a god send, no one until now could get me to the blonde I have been searching for. Michelle is so patient, kind and has the best interest for her clients, she truly loves what she does and it shows ten times over when you leave the salon. Thank you Michelle.

I cannot recommend Michelle enough!! She is like a hair goddess! My hair always turns out so amazing and healthier. She’s an awesome stylist/person all around and I don’t ever want anyone else to touch my hair. Choose Michelle and you seriously won’t regret it!

Michelle is the master of blonde!! She does the job right and it's the least painful grow-out of any stylist I've worked with. And I always love my cuts, too. She is REALLY REALLY good at her job and a great communicator. VERY happy I found her!!

Michelle is a gifted aesthetic genius. By far the best cut and color and natural products I’ve ever had in my life. I have thin lifeless difficult hair. She knew exactly what to do to transform my hair into a feature and an asset. Thank you!!!!

Michelle is fantastic. She's been my stylist for years and has taken me from ultra short pixie cuts to long beachy waves. She knows blonde hair better than anyone I've ever known and my color always looks great. I can't recommend her enough!

I have been a client of Michelle for 15 years. Her professionalism and desire to be a master of her craft is impressive. She cares not only about your goals for your hair but what is best for the overall health and appearance of your hair.

I have been seeing Michelle for the past 3 years and can’t say enough good things about her! Always listens and up for my change in style and color throughout the seasons/years and her attention to detail is perfection.

Michelle Allen is amazing! She worked with me to make my vision and what my hair needed a reality. She’s a very talented stylist! So nice and professional as well. I will be going back to her from now on.

I’m very lucky to have found Michelle! I’m mostly gray and she helps me blend in a pale blonde for a really cool look. I get constant complements on my hair. I love her haircuts too.

I love Michelle! I haven't let anyone else touch my hair since I started seeing her two years ago. She is the sweetest gal and an absolute master of all things blonde.

Absolute color perfection every time! Michelle knows color and styles. I am always beyond pleased every time I see Michelle and get so many compliments.

I love Michelle, I would follow her anywhere! She does my blonde hair proud every time, for many years! The Best!
