I drive 90 minutes to see Stacy at Platform!  5 Star Rating - World class

One way to know you have a great haircut is that is still looks stylish on the day you go in for your next appointment. Stacy has been making me look as cute as possible for the last 10 years. Through all the changes, I love how it turns out, and it is always simple to take care of. She is professional and artistic, and lots of fun to talk to. She's not afraid to give her opinion, and she listens to what I want. I get compliments on my hair, even from strangers.

AVOID KRISTEN 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

I went to The Platform Salon for a few years, and only seen Kristen. I was happy with my hair for the first couple years. I had been to many stylists, and was never happy. Kristen WAS the whole package (great style, cut and color). We had become close friends, or so I thought. I even referred a few friends to her and family members.

My hair usually took a few hours to do, and Kristen and I both talked about many personal things during this time. My sister went to see her a couple months ago, and she came back, upset becuase of the things Kristen said about me. She told my sister everything we have ever talked about, not to mention told her I looked like a "wh*re". She said awful things about me.I knew it had to be true, because these were things I only told Kristen. I was stunned,. and shocked to be honest. If I would have known this, I would have never spent my hard earned money on her.

I know I should have seen it coming, though. There were things she was getting into that were scary, athough I want to say it in a public forum I will not.

She lost two good customers that day, my sister and I both. She also caused problems between me and family. Still do not know why she did this, but she did it while on the job, doing my sisters hair. VERY unprofessional.

She is a good hairstylist. Just do not tell her anything you would not want people to know. Even if she tells you stuff about her, she will tell it. I still cringe when I think about how nice she was in my face, and how she betrayed me behind my back, all while on the job.

I have found a good replacement, though. Just warning others.

Pros: Good Salon, nice place
Cons: Shady stylist (Kristen)

Stacy is no longer at Platform!!! 5 Star Rating - World class

Platform Artistic Salon was one of the best salons I have ever worked at! I was sad to leave but really wanted to open my own studio. Thanks to a loyal following my new space has been a complete success. If you are looking for a great salon in the Pearl you should give Platform a try. If you are looking for me and open to crossing the river than you are welcome to call my new studio at 503-247-7289.
Thanks
Stacy

Pros: Platform has fun energetic stylists! Great NW Salon

Best Service in town 5 Star Rating - World class

Andrea at Platform Artistic Salon saved my hair and gave me the best extensions and hairstyle I have ever had. About 7 months ago I went to a salon here in Portland and they tried bleaching my hair from jet black to blonde within a couple hours. Well needless to say all my hair melted out right there is the rinsing bowl! I was horrified and had to wear a wig the past 7 months. I had looked all over town the past 2 weeks trying to find someone that could give me extensions now that my hair is longer and correct the color of my very damaged hair. Every salon I went to for a consultation either said my hair was too short for extensions or they could do them but I would not be very happy with the results. That is untill I found an add on craiglist for Andrea who works at Platform Artisitc Salon. I went to the consultation and she was very confident that she could give me beautiful long blonde hair and give me the color I wanted. I went ahead and booked the appointment and I got exactly what she said she could do. I went from having extremely short ugly colored hair to long beautiful blonde hair. I am so happy with Andrea's services that I would reccommed her to anyone. I have had professional extensions before and they were never done anywhere near the quality and unbealivable results as with Andrea. Not only did my extensions come out beautiful but my hair that onced felt damaged is now soft and feels very healthy. She also cut and styled my hair to match exactly what I told her that I wanted. For me I have always explained to a stylist what hairstyle I wanted and I never really got what I had pictured in my mind. Andrea knew exactly what I wanted and I left totally shocked at how beautiful my hair looked. I will never go to anyother salon, stylist or extensions specialist other then Andrea at Platform Salon.

Pros: Service, Skill, Value, Color
Cons: none

Molly is the best! 5 Star Rating - World class

After two disappointing salon experiences I walked into the hands of Molly at the Platform Artistic Salon in the Pearl. She heard my sorry story, she saw my sorry hair, and she worked her magic! Simply awesome results. Came home feeling like a new person. Her color technique and her haircut was just suberb. Kudos to her neighbor stylist who spent 4.5 hours on doing hair extensions the same day. Really nice atmosphere, friendly, experienced, non-pretentious people..
