Won't go anywhere else  5 Star Rating - World class

My track record with hairstylists can be described as unfaithful at best. In the past, I've skipped around as often as I've felt the need, but then I got a cut and color from Libby Beaman. It is so nice to finally have a stylist willing to spend time on a guy's hair. She's consistently communicative and absolutely dedicated to getting the right style. Since my first cut with her, I've gotten more compliments on my hair than with anyone else. She's also very good with recommendations, and is a great choice for someone unsure of what they want. I won't be shopping around for stylists anymore. This place is great!

Best. Haircut. Ever.  5 Star Rating - World class

I hate getting my hair cut -- it never turns out the way I want to and then I'm mad because I just spent $40 on making my hair uglier. Getting my hair cut at Arabella (by the remarkable Beth Ann) was a totally eye-opening experience. I went in with a very vague idea of what I wanted to do (shorter, layered) and Beth Ann helped me decide what would look best with my face shape and long neck. She washed my hair with shampoo that smelled DELICIOUS and then started cutting. She made me feel so at ease and was very friendly, but could tell when I just wanted to relax and not talk. Beth Ann spent a long time working with me to get the cut exactly how I wanted it and when it was done it looked great! I don't know what the other stylists there charge, but hers was only $30! I will definitely be back. (And if you refer 3 people to Beth Ann, she'll give you a free cut, so make sure to let her know that Tracy sent you!)

PROS: cute loft setting, rooftop garden, nice products, great stylists, price
CONS: nothing!

Best Haircut ever! 5 Star Rating - World class

I have curly, difficult to manage hair. Jena gave me the best haircut I've ever had. Instead of over thinning it like all other hairdressers do, she worked with my hair until it ended up beautiful both curly and straight. I will definitely go back to her forever! The salon is also really cool. Other reviews say it's hard to find, but I had no trouble at all locating it. You just have to go up the stairs. Great place, great vibe, awesome haircut.

best hair stylist ever! 5 Star Rating - World class

finally,Amanda is back!!! i've tried other hair stylist and they can't come close to her hair cuts or color and all of her magic tricks! Today i was especially happy after she relaxed my hair!!! wow, this new chemical free relaxing system has left my hair incredibly soft and shinny and wonderfully straight! even after a sweaty work out my hair remains straight and NO MORE FRIZZ!!!! it really is incredible for someone like me who has constantly battled with big frizzy hair for years and never has a relaxer looked or felt like this.

Pros: comfortable atmosphere and a great rooftop garden!
Cons: none

Libbie Beaman does great hair! 5 Star Rating - World class

Let me just tell you that when I went to see Libby for the first time, she had her work "cut" out for her. I tried to bleach my own hair (which obviously didn't work), then I went to a hair academy and some girl turned my hair yellow. I showed up at Libbie's salon door almost in tears with how awful I looked. She took me into her hands and made me beautiful again.

She'll never do anything that you don't want and she'll always tell you her honest opinion. If she feels something won't look good on you...she won't do it.

Libby is also very educated on everything there is to know about the Davines product line. She is up to date on all the new additions to the line and knows exactly which one will keep you looking foxy.

Get in soon, before you miss out.

Libby Beaman does great hair! 5 Star Rating - World class

I've been a long time customer of Libby's and I love her new spot in Portland! Arabella has a great soothing and classy yet non-pretentious atmosphere. There is a beautiful rooftop garden. The salon was easyto find with ample parking.

Why do I love Libby?
-I always love my hair.
-Shes really great at understanding what I want even if i have a hard time explaining it.
-She takes time to straighten and style my hair perfectly before I leave.
-She gives amazing scalp massages.
-She has an extensive knowledge of the Davines product line (which btw is amazing!)
-She is very pleasant and easy to talk to.

I would recommend Libby to anybody. in fact I have and they all love her to and they love me for recommending her.
