Over the last months I have had the pleasure of helping my friend and long time co-worker Cher Miller open her 3 chair studio salon on N Albina Ave that she has aptly named Hidden Hands. I am excited to be down the street from neighborhood favorites Sweedeedee, Cherry Sprout, Mississippi Records and Albina Press. We did much of the conceptualizing/painting/outfitting ourselves, inspired by minimalism, nature, and modern design. While I believe it will probably be an ongoing work in progress, it will always be calming, intimate, and ideally a place where you might hear your favorite band and talk about something new you’ve recently learned. Oh, and get a great haircut.
In the spirit of minimalism and focus, I am also narrowing the scope of services I offer. At this time I’m most interested in exploring very natural/believable haircolor, and my signature low-maintenance, functional haircuts. While I enjoy exploring the ways we choose to express ourselves, at this time if you’re seeking bold fantasy colors, a bleach and tone, or a complicated color correction, I would love to refer you to a specialist in those techniques.
A note on pricing: Being a small business owner is complicated, and the cost of hair services these days exists on a wide spectrum. I set my prices based on the average going rate amongst my peers, the cost of doing business, and my years of experience.
