Alan has been my hair stylist for years, and the results are always amazing. I have a hair dye sensitivity and he has worked to find me the best products and methods to allow me to continue to color my hair and look my best. He is always helping me find the best straighteners and smoothers, and recently he introduced me to the OXO organic straightener. This Oxo treatment is the best I have ever had done, and I have tried everything over the years from the Japanese straightening to the Keratin smoothers.
The treatment left my hair soft and manageable, it takes me minutes to style straight versus much longer before the process. It cut my hot iron use in half, my hair is so much healthier as a result. The process left my hair full of body, so it didn't compromise the fullness of my hair to get the straight results I wanted. I highly recommend anyone with coarse and/or curly hair go see Alan to get this treatment.
It was well worth the investment! Alan is a perfectionist and his implementation is a big reason this product worked so well, so if you are in the portland area don't go anywhere else! Book an appointment with Alan, you won't be disappointed!

Alan is the best!. He is so good with color. And he uses all organic products. I'm allergic to most hair dye and his products not only feel great but the color looks way better than normal hair dye. He's in high demand though, booked for weeks ahead. Do it!
