I am at the salon often for color-it’s an investment in time and money, and I’m really happy to go to a place that feels welcoming, nurturing, and beautiful. I love the space-exposed brick, lots of natural light and beautiful plants everywhere. Deanna the owner is lovely and Caitlin who I see for cut and color is fantastic-always taking time with my treatment, I’ve seen people in the past where it’s felt rushed every time, and I’ve never felt that way, even though she’s fully booked and I’m often five minutes late. I also love the loose leaf tea they offer, fun music, and really great commitment to recycling many different types of materials. Thanks, Arabella!!

Highly recommend! It was a great vibe. Caitlin provided a fantastic haircut, and everyone is so personable that it made the experience even better.

Deanna at Arabella is a hair sorceress! Especially for my very curly (and sometimes not curly) texture. She knows how to engineer a cut that works in multiple conditions (curly / straight / humid / air dry or blow dry) and is built to last so that I don’t have to cut TOO too often. She fixed up my home DIY color with zero shaming me for buying drugstore color. I entrusted her with a whole new look — going from blah longish no bangs hair to a new french bob that is sexy and cool. The salon itself is a hidden gem… hip and very clean, and they sell great products but never pushy on selling them. I am only hesitant to recommend because I want Deanna all to myself, but it would be bad karma not to share the good word about Arabella Salon.Services: Haircut

I have been going to Arabella Salon for years and highly recommend!! Before I moved I drove from Seattle. I would make the 3 + hour trip for Megan’s talents. Her Haircuts & highlights, to straightening my curls or enhancing them… she’s amazing! Everyone treats you like family there and the atmosphere is extremely relaxing.Services: Curly hair

Deanna was my hair stylist before Arabella. I remember when she told me she was making a move from a salon close to my house to one across town. I couldn’t imagine driving across town to get my hair done, but I really couldn’t imagine anyone else doing my hair. Deanna is irreplaceable! Years later, I enjoy the drive into a different neighborhood, I love the vibe of the salon, I love catching up with Deanna and most importantly I always love how she styles my hair!Services: Blowouts

Deanna is amazing. She is the only person to touch my hair? And my daughter’s hair in the last 15 years. She is a master hairstylist & colorist who has been trained locally and in Europe. She cares deeply about her clients, and the impact her business and products have on the community. I highly recommend her and Arabella Salon!Services: Kids' cuts

I had an excellent experience with Deanna at Arabella! The salon is beautiful and sparkling clean and Deanna did an awesome job with my hair, which hadn’t been cut in over a year. I’ll definitely be back!

I have been coming to Arabella Salon in Portland Oregon for years now, and I can’t recommend them more. I am always happy with my hair cut and color service, and the blow out at the end is to die for. The Davines product line they use not only smells wonderful, but works great with my hair, and is sustainably produced. One of the highlights of my visits here are the plants that fill the space, giving it the best calming vibes…highly recommend!Services: Hair glossing

I have a complicated relationship with my hair. I've hated it and fought against it my entire life. Fine, straight, and flat. But Deanna has turned my relationship with my hair around and I now love my hair (which I really didn't think was possible). Seriously. Strangers come up to me and tell me how great my hair looks.Deanna has been my stylist for over 10 years; I moved the Gorge but I still drive into Portland to see her. It's to the point now where I don't even tell her what I want -- I just tell her to do what she thinks is best. I trust her completely. She's a wizard and all-around wonderful human. Thank you, Deanna, for all of the hair love!Services: Hairstyling

I will absolutely never go back. I called and asked if they had any hairstylists that knew how to work with curly wavy hair. They said “all our stylists are trained to work with all varieties and types of hair.” I showed up and she dry brushed my hair, used damaging shampoos, blow dried and attempted to create curls simply by dry hand curling my hair. My hair came out poofy, damaged, and lost many of its natural curls. Stop telling POC that hairstylists know how to work with ethnic hair and then ruining it. They don’t. They ruin your hair, never being taught anything other than white American straight silky hair. Absolutely cannot recommend less

Honestly Caitlin is hands down THE best hairstylist on this side of the Mississippi (can't speak for the other side though, I haven't been) My hair is very weak and frail purely due to genetics but Caitlin has been able to take me to every color of the rainbow without causing any noticeable damage. We've been pink, purple, green, orange, blue, silver, everything, and it's all looked SO good! She is truly an expert of her craft, an excellent conversationalist, and just an all around ideal stylist. I would follow her through the gates of hell with no questions asked if it meant I got to keep her as a stylist. Caitlin truly is a beautiful gem in this godforsaken city.

Great salon! I love the natural soft lighting and all the plants! They have a cute little rooftop garden and it’s very good if you get overwhelmed by bright salon lights like I do. The staff is kind and helpful and all the stylists did a great job! It’s also relatively affordable. Overall 5 stars!

Misa is a gem. It's always amazing to hang out with her and she's great with hair and listening to what I need. Their COVID response has been excellent as well, and I feel confident going there and minimizing exposure of myself and others.
