I have been in need of a new hair look for a while now! I was playing with the idea of getting bangs again and I finally decided to do it. I actually had bangs for three years but the past three years I haven’t had them. To be honest, one of the main reasons I wanted to get bangs again was to hide my expressive forehead and the wrinkles caused by it! In the future I would love to get preventive botox but until then, the bangs will do the trick 😉

I started doing some research on hair salons in Portland and I found Koa Beauty in NW. It’s the cutest salon and the owner Kristina is so sweet! I love the bright, airy space of the salon. All the plants in the salon really give it a homey feel.

In addition to bangs, Kristina trimmed the unhealthy ends of my hair, toned the brassiness out of my hair, and fixed the back of my balayage. I got a balayage last summer and it had grown out a bit, but what was really bugging me was the fact that there was a weird scoop on the back of my head with no color! Kristina fixed it easily enough with just a few additional highlights. The before and after is crazy! She also put some olaplaex in my hair to restore health and shine and it actually made a big difference. And she sent me home with a bottle of Cool Angel to keep my hair toned and ashy instead of brassy!

Kristina was so easy to talk to and very informative! She really made my experience amazing and my hair turned out exactly like I wanted it too! I absolutely love my hair now and I definitely recommend her if you are looking for a good hair stylist in the Portland metro.
