Appel Nouveau Salon

Jaime did a phenomenal job at fixing a botched balayage that was done at another salon. I was initially really nervous to go to another stylist I didn’t know anything about since that’s how I ended up with the orange skunk streaks. We first met for a consultation to see what could and couldn’t be done. Jaime listened carefully to what my goal was while remaining practical about what can and can’t be done without destroying my hair. This made me feel better than someone blindly saying that whatever I wanted could be done without even meeting me or seeing my hair. Soon after, I went in to get my hair fixed and I’m in LOVE with my hair. I will definitely be going back to get my hair touched up before I have to move to the east coast

Stylist: Gary Not having my hair cut since before COVID meant I really needed a refresh. I'm so glad I found Gary! He gave me an easy, sexy cut that lays perfectly and fits my personality. I've finally found my Portland stylistService: Haircut

Double check your appointment actually made it on their books. I showed up and they didn’t have my apt on the book, the person asked to see my email confirmation, i showed it to her and she didn’t seem to care much. It was 3:30 and she acted like she could maybe squeeze any kind of service in before her 4 pm. She said sorry but yea… not professional.

After a year long search, I am so happy to say that I have found the best hairstylist in Portland, Gary! Coming from Los Angeles where I was spoiled with many amazing stylist choices, I have tried multiple different highly rated salons in the area but have not been happy with the end result. But that changed today after my haircut with Gary. Gary is the best of the best, he truly understands and is well experienced in the industry. He listens and provides his clients with the best service in the PNW. Gary could be and should be charging way more for his sessions, he is one of the most talented stylists I have ever met. We are lucky to have him in Portland. If you are searching for a stylist or just an appointment for a trim, please don’t let my year long search go to waste and just book your appointment with Gary - trust me!

I absolutely love the vibe in this salon, everyone is so nice and you get to drink wine while your getting your hair did ?!? Austin is my main hair man, I drive all the way from Seattle to get my hair done by him! He does an amazing job every single time! He is so friendly and sweet! Every time I do something crazy with my hair he makes me feel so amazing! I recommend this place, and I recommend Austin every time : also the scalp rub he gives puts me to another world! Relaxing is the best when hair is getting done!
