I love jasmine! If you have curls of any type, Jasmine will make you like fiiiiiine as hell. She saved my curls and have taught me so much about what I need to take of my hair. 10/5 stars

My wife had a stroke a year ago just at the beginning of the pandemic. With the isolation and the lockdown in her care facility, her hair had gotten out of control and had grown long and uncomfortable. I made an appointment with Don and he did an absolutely fabulous job of bringing her natural curl and making her look and feel the fabulous woman she is.

Parker and Josetta have been my cut & color team for over 15 years, even after I moved to North Portland. It's like no other salon I've been to before. Only positive, happy, highly-talented people work here. I would have total confidence booking with anyone on staff. I always leave with my hair & spirit rejuvenated. I love coming to this salon!

Jasmine is a goddess for curly hair. I'd been trying out salons in Corvallis with no luck. You know when you have curls and someone cuts into them as though you had straight hair and it's a mess? That was me. An hour later I left EW with softly defined curls. Jasmine also taught me how to style my hair in different ways, and how to use the Ouidad products. Long story made short - this woman knows curls.

So, I gotta say, I had my hair done a week or so ago by two ladies-Rhonda colored, and Jasmine did a Ouidad cut. I was there about 4.5 hours, and I tell you, I absolutely love my hair! So worth it! I am super happy to have found these talented ladies!

Rob did an awesome job styling my hair. From the moment that I sat down, he asked what I was looking for, and was able to interpret what I couldn't quite put into words. He then took his time, rather than the normal run-of-the-mill, cheap haircuts. The style came out exactly how I wanted it, and I'll happily be driving the 30 minutes each month to see him again.
