Makeup in Portland

“I just got my hair done by Meriah Grove on July 9th and I LOVE the color service she did!! She listened to me and what I liked. She saw my inspo pictures and let me know we might have to do two services, but we agreed to a certain for the first time. I love it! We lightened my hair, but it was not damaged! I definitely recommend her for hair color (since that is what I had done) she gave me good recommendations for hair products, but didn’t push it. It felt genuine! I can’t wait for my touch in a couple months!!“

“I was paired with Noel from Blossom & Beauty for my wedding hair and makeup, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Since our wedding in the Portland area was a destination wedding for us, Noel was incredibly flexible in scheduling my trial. When I traveled out for it, she made sure we had plenty of time to perfect every detail so everything was ready for the wedding day.
I was so impressed by Noel's talent—she recreated the hair and makeup from my inspiration photos beautifully while making sure everything suited me. On the wedding day, she arrived early, was professional, organized, and helped make the morning feel calm and stress-free. Noel also did hair and makeup for my mom and sister, and they were just as thrilled with their experience. Despite a windy day and hours of dancing, all of our hair and makeup looked flawless from start to finish!“

“Mandy was so very helpful to myself and my sister. She answered the questions we had and elaborated on the answer with being very professional! We were so lucky with our timing for her first scheduled client was not there and able to spend more time with us. Her energy simply contagious which was so delightful being around. Thanks again Mandy“

“If you need your curls DIALED in then go see Taylor! Needed a fresh cut and new style before an upcoming performance of mine and even went back for a touch up when I knew I wanted to go curly mullet! They are accommodating and so fun to sit and chat with while you’re there. She know what looks good on you and is happy to work with you on what specific style you’re looking for!“

“I absolutely love the atmosphere at Session studio!
It’s always clean, smells amazing, and the plants are the best touch!
I have been seeing Liz for years, but everyone at Session is kind and will take good care of you!“

“My Glow haircut is the best I've had in my 16 years in Portland. That alone would keep me coming in, but I also appreciate the warm and welcoming atmosphere.“

“Katherine and the team at Event Cosmetics are top tier. They'll become like family during your wedding journey. I had the honor of working with them for my May 30th 2026 wedding and they were supportive, positive, and flexible with changes on the fly. Bex is an angel from heaven and a creative genius. book them!!!“

“Thank you for a wonderful facial. Love your products and thank you for the samples. Looking forward to my next appointment.“

“Our wedding day is in 2.5 weeks so while Kelli Thomsen and her team have not yet provided the services we hired them for, I do want to commend their incredible communication and support they provide prior to the wedding day. They are responsive, move with genuine care for their clients, and are so fun to chat with. I highly recommend them for the ease of planning alone - excited to write another review with photos after the day itself! <3“

“Such a positive experience! I highly recommend Lani for curly cuts. I felt welcomed and listened to as we discussed what to do, and I loved the cut she delivered. She provided a lot of helpful information, demonstrated a close attention to detail, and was so kind. What a treat.“

“I love the way my skin feels and I love the products she recommends. My hands even look years younger.“

“Me and my mom go here and Patrick always does a phenomenal job. Last time I went he did layers with purple dye and it was the best hair style I've ever had. ♥“

“Princess Pepperspray (Nicole) is the best! My hair looks and feels so good. Every time I have a new style in mind she expertly executes it. I will follow her wherever she goes.“

“I recently had a haircut and what feels like a hair therapy session with Stephy.

This was hands down one of the most thorough and informative haircuts I’ve ever gotten. I have thin hair that sheds and Stephy spent the first part of my appointment brushing my hair and observing my breakage and asked me such amazing questions. This led to me purchasing a satin pillowcase, only drying my hair with a microfiber hair wrap. I also received excellent guidance on how to combat oily hair and my light curls are the healthiest they have ever been since I switched my hair washing routine with Stephy’s guidance and expertise.

She also gave me a dry haircut which was the first time I’ve ever had this done. It resulted in my hair being the exact length I wanted to keep as I’ve had my hair butchered twice here in Portland. The minimal layers she added have made my hair feel so much lighter.

Thank you for creating such an awesome environment for your clients to come, relax, be pampered and leave feeling refreshed. 3 years into relocating here and I finally found my hair stylist.“

“Marina is such an amazing person and artist. She was able to make quick changes, see my vision, and support my bridal party in all their different asks. She was a joy to work with. Thank you!!!“

“Corinne truly knows skin. I’m extremely cautious about who I trust with my sensitive skin because I’m always worried about flare-ups or irritation—but that was never an issue here. From the very beginning, she took the time to really listen, discuss my concerns, and understand my goals. Her approach is thoughtful and personalized, which immediately put me at ease.
She doesn’t just perform a service—she educates you along the way. Corinne carefully explains what she’s using, why it works, and how it benefits your skin specifically. That level of care and transparency is something you don’t always find, and it makes a huge difference in the overall experience.
She also offers a variety of skincare lines that feel both indulgent and surprisingly affordable. It’s clear she’s curated her products with intention, focusing on quality and results without making it feel overwhelming or inaccessible.
Estheticians like Corinne are true professionals in their craft—they combine science, skill, and a genuine passion for helping people feel confident in their skin. It’s not just about treatments; it’s about trust, consistency, and creating a space where you feel cared for. Corinne embodies all of that and more. I wouldn’t trust my skin with anyone else.“

“Nickol Johnson, my hairstylist for years, recently moved to Wild Root salon. The location and vibe are wonderful! I appreciate that they use AVEDA products. She does an amazing job with my blond highlights and cut to maintain healthy hair.“

“Cristina is my official pageant makeup artist. I gave her photos for reference on how I thought the look should be \\u0026 she brought them to life. Her attention to detail, timeliness \\u0026 even supporting me along my journey makes her a greater person. She is so professional \\u0026 down to earth. I just love her \\u0026 her work.“

“Rebecca continues to do an amazing job with my hair! My hair is wavy, long, and thick - so it's truly quite a task to cut and color. She always gives me the absolute best. I've never gotten so many compliments on my hair in the past! The health of my hair and scalp has been important to me - somewhat in an effort to revitalize from past damage. Rebecca has shared her knowledge and expertise to really get my hair to the healthiest it's ever been. I can't recommend her enough!“

“Such a great small business! They care so much about their hairstylists and let go Jesi for bad behavior.“

“I’ve been going to Neat Lash for EIGHT YEARS and refuse to go anywhere else 🤍 The quality, retention, and service are unmatched every single time. Kristi is seriously amazing — she gives the most beautiful natural-looking lashes that actually LAST. If you want lashes that look effortless, soft, and stay full for weeks, this is the place!!“

“I had such a great experience with Melanie! She did an amazing job on my hair and really took the time to listen to what I wanted. The cut turned out exactly how I was hoping, and I couldn’t be happier with it. On top of that, she was so kind, friendly, and easy to talk to, which made the whole appointment really enjoyable. I haven’t had this great of a salon experience in 12 years. It was such a journey to find these guys. I highly recommend her and will definitely be coming back!“

“Julie gave me the best facial of my life today! I’ve been traveling a lot for work lately, slacking on my self care & let me tell you, Julie had me feeling the most rejuvenated & refreshed I’ve felt in months; feeling like a million bucks! My skin is glowing, my pores are happy, vibe & setting was extremely therapeutic- overall top notch. Already looking forward to my next appt in 6 weeks! She truly is the best!“

“Kim and her team are the absolute best. You walk in a client and leave as family. I’m always impressed with whatever service I’m receiving. Hands down the best salon around.“

“5 Stars for their service. Nice and friendly, super cute and clean shop. Great selection of products.2 stars for the makeup application. I left here with a very unfinished, unpolished look. I felt terrible when I looked in the mirror, and all I could say was "OMG it's so pretty." What do you say? I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but being honest it was the worst makeup application I have ever had.“
