I couldn’t have chosen a better person to do my hair and makeup for my 10/14/23 wedding! Right from the trial, Kong was very receptive to what I liked and didn’t like and had so many suggestions for what she thought would compliment my hair and face best. Her main focus was making sure I was happy with how I looked and I couldn’t have been any happier with how the whole morning went. All of my bridesmaids and mother of groom/bride kept telling me how amazing their experience was with Kong as well. She made sure everybody felt comfortable while in her chair. I 100% recommend Kong for any and all bridal needs!

Kong and her team did an amazing job on my wedding hair & makeup. We had 12 services (Bride + 8 bridesmaids + 3 moms) and they arrived early to start services at 7am sharp. Kong and her team are so efficient, even with a large group and they had everyone’s hair and makeup done an hour early to leave plenty of time for touch ups and small changes. My bridesmaids had a variety of styles (party ponies, up-dos, all down) and they all were very happy with the results. I would absolutely recommend booking a trial. At my trial, Kong showed me several variations of the look I was going for and I was able to see what I liked and wanted to change. She was patient, offered helpful suggestions, and so receptive to my feedback. She also took time after the trial to study the photos and think about how she could make the look even better. I was happy with my trial look, but the day of service exceeded my expectations. My hair and makeup on my wedding still felt like me, it lasted all night, and I couldn’t have picked a better team. Thank you Kong & team!!

I met Kong at my friend’s wedding and she was amazing! She did a fantastic job doing the entire wedding party’s hair and makeup. Later on I had a box dye hair emergency and called her and she got me in right away and made my hair look amazing! She’s very passionate about what she does and it shows in her work, I would recommend anyone to go to her for all their hair and makeup needs.Services: Haircut

Kong is amazing! I'm so relieved and happy to have found someone who is comfortable cutting Asian hair. Kong listened to what I wanted, helped me make some small decisions, and, most importantly, gave me a beautiful cut and style that I can easily replicate at home.Services: Haircut

I found Kong through google while searching for someone to do my wedding hair and makeup! I scheduled a wedding hair and makeup trial with her, which was very easy and I was able to schedule all online. I went to my hair trial appointment and kong did an amazing job of giving me exactly what I was looking for as far as hair and makeup! She did two head tight braids into a bun with curls and it came out perfect! I asked for a natural makeup look and she did exactly that! She also towards the end of my appointment after we became more comfortable with one another let me know and showed me pictures she took that day of the back of my hair. At the time I was going to another salon for my regular highlights and color and what she showed me was shocking. I had zebra stripes of all the different times my hair was colored going down the back of my head!!! She also showed me how broken my hair was from being mistreated by the salon I was going to! I was so nervous because my color looked horrible and my wedding was only about a month away! Kong confidently stepped in and assured me she would be able to fix my hair! She was able to get me the color I had been begging my previous stylist for over a year with her consistently telling me it wasn't possible and would take "to long", in one session! I love the way my hair looks now because of Kong I finally have the beautiful color that I was looking for from my other salon. Kong is now my highlight and color stylist to say the least! Kong was also hired to do some of my friends hair and makeup as well as mine for my wedding and she did an amazing job! Everyone looked beautiful and loved how their hair and makeup came out! Everyone was ready on time with more than enough time to spare to get ready for the wedding. Thank you so much for everything Kong! <3 If you're looking for a stylist or someone for wedding hair and makeup I strongly recommend Kong!Services: Hair coloring

I had a haircut appointment at Hair Etc and it was amazing. Kong was super accommodating, very friendly, and gave me a great look. I ended up chopping off a ton of hair for a fresh new style and she made it an easy transition. I will be back! : )

I was visiting from out of town this past summer and scheduled a haircut with Kong. I've had long hair forever, but wanted a big change and was having a hard time convincing my stylist back home to do it. Kong was awesome. Not only did she give me an incredible cut and style, I had fun while she was doing it. It happened to be just the two of us in the salon that day and it was like hanging out with a girlfriend chatting, except this one made my hair look great. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to Portland!

Kong did an excellent job on my wedding hair and makeup! I did a trial with her a few months before my wedding and she helped me figure out exactly what I wanted for the day of. She also gladly took feedback and adjusted what I wanted originally so everything was perfect for my wedding day! My makeup and hair lasted all day and looked amazing in my wedding photos. Highly recommended!Service: Wedding hair & make-up

Kong is a master when it comes to cut and color. She took a bad dye job and made my hair look the best it ever has!

I can safely say that the bridal hair styles that Kong does can literally withstand hurricane wind speeds! We eloped this weekend and surprise, we brought a hurricane with us when we came up from New Jersey. I have never met Kong or did trial with her, but it was still such an inviting and comfortable atmosphere as if I've been there a million times. It was sunny on our wedding day but the wind was BRUTAL. I am shocked, impressed, and (dare I say it) blown away by the fact my hair withstood 3 hours in 30mph winds. Thank you so much!!Service: Wedding hair & make-up

BEST DYE JOB EVER. I've been struggling to find a good colorist who knows how treat Asian hair for years and after multiple bad dye jobs that have left my hair fried/orange, I am so grateful to have found Kong. She is an absolute genius – my hair has never looked this good or felt so healthy. No one else is allowed to to touch my hair from here on out ❤️

I received the best haircut I've had in years from Kong. She gave me the perfect bangs and layers. She also curled my hair at the end and it looked fantastic. She also went above and beyond by giving me makeup and styling tips for a wedding I'm attending next month. I'm so happy with my new haircut and will definitely be returning to Hair Etc.!Services: Hairstyling
