Little Shop of Hairs

Unfortunately I can not give this Salon a good review. I had sent a photo ahead of time to Roxy. It was a basic Bob with some added whispy long portions of hair framing the face. Needless to say she cut the angle in REVERSE! Bobs are longer in the front and shorter in the back, and what I got was shorter in the front and longer than the back. She did not give me any of the long sections to frame my face. She constantly had to refer back to the photo. I was extremely upset but kept my cool.
The owner, Louie tried her best to rectify the situation. Not much could be done since almost all my hair was cut way too short.
Both Roxy and the owner Louie decided to refund my money which of course was very professional.
It took me about 5 months to grow out my last haircut and now I’m going to have to wait another 5 months to get it long enough to start again of course with a new hairdresser.
My thought is, if you are not comfortable with the haircut a client is presenting, then perhaps you should just be honest and say you’re not comfortable doing it. Most people will understand.

This shop is fun, local and professional.
They also do kid cuts for $ 15 and Roxy was very patient with my girl’s tangles. She really spent her time on my daughter’s hair and I will definitely be back. It’s nice to know there’s an awesome kid friendly shop in NOPO that isn’t a big franchise/​chain. Hope other parents discover them too!

New to town, found Louie and Little Shop of Hairs and I am thrilled! Louie is super cool, totally gets it. Great rates and such a nice atmosphere to chat along the way.

My hairdresser left town unexpectedly so I was left to find a new place with very little time to do so. I saw that the Little Shop of Hairs was fairly close to me, and a friend of mine who has fabulous hair was featured on their Facebook page. They were able to get me in same day and OH MY GOD! am I ever happy with my hair! Roxy did an amazing job. She really took the time to get ever detail perfect (not a hair out of place) and I have seriously never received as many compliments on a hairstyle as I have on this one. I’m excited for my hair to grow back so I can go get another oh-​so-​stylish ‘do. Go visit Roxy. She’s incredible (much like my hair). Go, and go now.

Louie worked her magic and gave me the look I’ve been wanting! Cutting off nearly a foot of my hair and adding green pieces was a giant trust exercise for me– and Louie nailed it. She was very kind and hospitable and didn’t rush at all. We talked and together decided on the cut. It’s amazing to see this level of artisanship and attention to detail in a stylist, not to mention her genuine personality and commitment to quality. I will definitely be back. Thanks, Louie!

I had a living social deal and went to see Toni M. I have to say, she had good intentions, and is a very nice and welcoming woman, but this was not a very pleasant experience. She kept consulting the owner on which colors to use and which technique to use, which made me very nervous. I asked for a more natural looking color, with some violent tints and brownish highlight to blend things together. I ended up with orange/​copper hair. And in order to fix it, she put toner in my hair which resulted in pretty much, straight up purple hair. Since I have had purple hair before, I didn’t mind this result, but in no way was it what I had asked for or wanted from this appointment.
Furthermore, the cut that I asked for was also nothing like the pictures that I showed her or what I had described, and much shorter than I had asked for. She didn’t seem to be very experienced with cuts, and did no real layering or thinning of my hair, and since my hair is very thick, this has proved problematic. She also was not the most gentle with me, to say the least.
The majority of clients i saw here were either kids wanting green highlights or people requesting crazy colors. In my opinion, this is a great place to go if that is what you are looking for. If you want a haircut, I’d say go somewhere else. Like I said, I really do feel like Toni was a good person with good intentions, and sometimes you never know what colors will do, so it’s not necessarily her fault that the color didn’t turn out how it was expected to. And props for trying to fix it and get it closer to what I had wanted rather than just scoot me out the door. Good intentions for sure, but I definitely think you should ask yourself what you are looking for, meet with the stylists and have an opinion for yourself.

I just saw Toni M for a cut and a shocking pink dye job. This was my first time getting my hair dyed, and Toni was helpful, informative and made it all fun! The results are awesome!

Isabel is a fantastic stylist! I’ve been cutting my own hair for years in fear of bad hair stylists, but I completely trust Isabel! She always gives me the haircut (& color) I’m hoping to leave with, she asks all the right questions, and she gives great suggestions without letting her own ideas get in the way of yours. Whether you’re looking for the baddest queercut on the block, or something chic and classic, Isabel is your girl! Not only is she a talented stylist, but she’s extremely friendly and caring. Isabel is a truly lovely person who will be sure you leave looking your best.

Lissy! Lissy all the way!
I’ve been going to her now for over 3 years. I was referred to her by another artist because I wanted to manage my dreads with a method that didn’t use perms and other harsh chemicals. Lissy uses a method that doesn’t use any funky chems at all!
Lissy is sweet as all get out too. She makes you feel totally comfortable and at home while she’s working on your hair. She always does her best to make sure you look and feel fantastic.
I would ABSOLUTELY recommend her to anyone. Seriously. Make an appointment now. Why are you even still reading this?!

I loved my haircut when I got it. Two months later and I STILL love my haircut. It’s maintained it’s shape and wonderful style. Coming from a girl who doesn’t know what to do with her hair I wake up with the best bed head you’ve ever seen. No lie! I am so relieved to have found a new home for my hair in Portland. The prices here are completely fair and the hair dressers are professional.
I love coming here because I feel comfortable in the shop. It’s in a cool part of town. Inside of the shop you’ll find it’s been decorated with bright colors and pretty aesthetics. I love looking at the chandelier! I recommend Louie when you come.

How many times do you get to say «this is the best haircut I’ve ever had»? I’ve been able to say that so many times at little shop of hairs that I’ve lost count. Louie is wonderful to spend time with, and her talent as a stylist and colorist is a rare find. The other stylists are great too! Have seen many great cuts and colors happen here, all with cheerful and friendly vibes. If you’re looking for a great new look or just a place you can trust while feeling comfortable, welcomed, and stress free, this is it. I’ve referred friends and family to little shop of hairs and they all keep going back for more. The best!

After searching years and years for a great hair stylist I’ve found her at Little Shop of Hairs. Isabel Poppy is officially the only person I will let touch my hair from now on!
I’ve had my hair cut by ALOT of people and I have ALOT of hair. It’s the first time in my 30+ years that I’ve felt this happy and confident with my hair! I moved over 1200 miles away last summer but would travel a million to come see Isabel anytime I need a haircut!
Btw… The hair salon itself is a beautiful sight to be seen. Hard to describe in words but once you enter it’s like a wonderful Little Shop of Hair play land. Such a creative and comfy use of space. Kinda place you just want to go hang out at, even if you don’t need any services!

I love Isabel! I met her at a different salon and migrated along with her to LSOH because she’s just that great. If you don’t already have a hair stylist that you love, I’d definitely recommend giving her a try.
The salon itself is really cute, it’s cozy and you can tell the stylists all feel very at home there.

I had my 1^st appointment with Toni M. at Little Shop of Hairs today. O.M.G — This stylist knows what she is doing! She took the time to consult with me, made some suggestions and listened to what I liked until we figured out a plan of action; then she proceeded to execute the cut and color with professional artistry and skill ! I have VERY difficult head of hair to deal with and she did an amazing job! I think my hair and I have found a new home at Little Shop of Hairs with Miss Toni. The Shop is a tiny colorful refuge tucked into the Kenton neighborhood in North Portland, and is worth the trip across town to get the awesome results !!

I have super fine, shoulder length, wavy hair and have had my share of crummy hair cut and colors — that is until I found Louie Jones in 2005. I would follow Louie anywhere. Louie opened her own shop — Little Shop of Hairs — in May 2011 in North Portland’s Kenton neighborhood. The shop is cute, clean, small (3 stations… though I’ve heard rumors of them expanding) and attracts an eclectic group of clientele — folks with classic, professional, edgy and fun styles.
Louie is sweet, loyal and super skilled. She is a color wizard! She takes the time to make sure she understands what you are wanting and works with you until you are happy. She is always super booked so advance appointments are a good idea. (I’ve seen Donna and Toni doing awesome hair while I’m in Louie’s chair too…)

I have followed Louie around town for the past 7 years because she knows what she is doing, she does a damn good job at it and she stands behind her work (plus she is the only person that I have gone to in Portland, that knows how to cut curly hair!).
I have NEVER had a less than awesome haircut with her and because of this my entire family goes to Louie (mom, husband, kids). She has a great eye for style and can tell you off the bat if that style you have been wanting to try will translate well to your head of hair. Give her free will to do something creative and she will NOT disappoint. Hair roulette with Louie is positively noteworthy and bound to get you compliments.
Louie also is an amazing colorist! I’m on the mild side of color but I have seen the work she does and all I have to say is the bigger the challenge, the more she blows your mind.
She is definitely in her element and her schedule proves it. People LOVE what she does to their hair and consistently return. Extremely Edgy or simply conservative… Louie can do it all!

My wife and I have been jumping around from place to place for years getting mediocre haircuts and not really feeling like we could do any better. A while back I was walking in my neighborhood real close to home and I saw a new storefront. Little Shop of HAIRS?! Being the big nerd that I am it was too good to pass up. I called and made an appointment with Louie for my wife. She had such a good time that I had to go in as well.
Louie now cuts my wife’s and my hair and she does an awesome job. Doesn’t matter if we want to do the same old thing or if we want to try something new; she’s up for it. I went in recently and she had pulled up a bunch of pictures of different hair styles to help me get the best haircut possible. I’ve never had such an easy time getting a haircut. And it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg! What a deal.
Great haircut with a kick ass stylist? Yup! Super close to home? Yup! Expensive? No way! Thanks Louie and Little Shop of Hairs.

I’m fussy with who cuts my hair. For years I used one salon in Oakland CA. Before that, it was the same salon with the same stylist from the age of 12. When I moved to Portland, I was at a loss for a good haircut. I bartered with friends (not always a good idea) or just buzzed it.
I am so glad to have found Toni shortly. After a couple hours in the chair, I was ecstatic over the depth of color, vibrancy, shading, and how she cut my hair to bring it all out. Toni is the person I recommend to everyone I meet wanting something more than a supercuts cut. She is a true professional and doesn’t stop until all the details are perfect.

It’s not always easy finding someone great to cut your hair: when I do, I stick with them. After my buddy Doug moved away, I ended up sticking with his salon (Rudy’s in the Pearl) for a while, which did a decent job. On a lark, I tried Bishops: long on hipster cred, very short on actual talent.
A few years ago, I discovered Toni at a different salon – and have stuck with her. She is one of very few stylists that cuts my hair in a manner that regularly evokes unsolicited «oh wow, your hair looks nice» remarks from my friends. While she’ll cut my hair the way I’d like, I’ve never regretted her suggestions to modify my cut.
Especially with traffic growing more congested in Portland, the location is pretty decent: it’s a few blocks away from the MAX Yellow Line in North Portland and parking is easy and plentiful.
Since I’ve known Toni, she’s done cut and color for some of my female friends, all of which have looked really great.
In my opinion, Toni does a great job at a price far more reasonable than the Magnum Opus/​Tres Bön-​type salons in Portland – but cuts to the chase with styling skill over some need to promote some sort of «vibe»: a free PBR or being surrounded by people clad in Urban Outfitters gear has never made my hair look better.

I love this place. I have been following around one of the hair masters for over 10 years now. Donna Sue is excellent. She always knows exactly how to do my hair up right. I have since moved from Portland and I now live in California. I have yet to find anyone out here I trust my locks with like I do Donna. So I just wait for my cuts. I was lucky enough to be in Portland a few weeks ago and got all done up. Im good to go for a few months. Hey, needing a haircut is a good excuse to visit Portland every 6 months.
So go check out Little Shop of Hairs, It’s rad.
