    Janine gave me exactly what I wanted, short and easy to get and go without fuss. The conversation is wonderful as well.

    The whole experience was wonderful- Janine is welcoming and warm and so skilled in her craft. I felt at ease as soon as I entered her space and left feeling great about my new hair style!

    I had an unfortunate turn of events & stumbled upon BALM+BRISTLE when looking for a new stylist. I'm sooooo happy I found this salon!!! Janine is amazing: the epitome of customer service. She's great with cutting & styling curls & absolutely PERFECT with color knowledge!As an added bonus... she's got a very cute puppy to snuggle with.

    Really loved my appointment with Janine. She was understanding and caring for what I needed and the results were exactly what I was hoping for. I'm still happy with my color 3 months later. Such a nice experience and really great color job. She's an absolute sweetheart and her new location is cute too. I'll be returning for all my coloring and Aveda needs

    I have tried to go to other people beside Janine, and through enough bad experiences I have vowed to NEVER see anyone else. She is a very skilled artist and technician. I have asked her to do very risky and almost impossible things with my hair (asymetrical bob cut) and she does it with precise execution. My spunky style is not her only gift, she can gracefully approach anyones need. My mother-in-law is a dedicated follower as well, my girlfriends and their ridiculously curly haired children.Lastly, Not only is she talented and professional in all things hair-(color, cut, style). She is a gem to spend time with. I have learned my lesson that there is no one in the gorge who could match this womans talent in hair, style, and beauty.

    I have been a fan and client of Janine for ten years. I will even drive out from Portland just for a 30 minute appointment with her; she is that good! She is a genius hairdresser, and an artistic wizard with haircolor. She's also really smart and an amazing entrepreneur, which makes for fantastic conversation during our visits.Services: Haircut

    Janine's talent for all aspects of hair care is awesome, she is the ultimate professional. I just had my hair highlighted and the results were stunning, perfect low and highlights! She has also given me an excellent hair cut. I highly recommend her!Services: Hairstyling
