DORI ROCKS! My hair is pretty difficult to deal with and I have had some bad hair cuts from other places. But Dori kicked butt. Great lines, even cut and I feel amazing. I also got a beer while I waited. Front desk attendant was awesome too. All around great place.

I've learned that it's tough to navigate the world of haircuts as a guy with long hair. My go-to salon is temporarily out of commission and I needed a trim, so I gave this place a try. I had been to Hair M in Lake Oswego one time before (when I had short hair) and it was fantastic. I live closer to downtown now so I decided to give this location a shot. With longer hair (past my shoulders) I generally only get about 2 cuts a year, so I really rely on the stylist to know what will work for my face shape and hair quality and interpret what I'm asking for into something that actually looks good. Prior to booking I called to ask if anyone specialized in longer hair and was told anyone could do it, so I booked one of the lvl 7 stylists and figured I'd treat myself with the mini spa/massage treatment as well. In short, it was all just "fine," but the haircut was even a little disappointing. The stylist pretty much cut my hair straight across with no layering, thinning or shaping, and went a little shorter than what I had asked for. So I ended up with a sort of big triangle bob once my hair dried that didn't look good down or up. But I'm not one to make a fuss and besides what am I going to do once the hair is already cut and gone. The massage/spa portion was also just fine, I appreciated the hand massage but had to spend a few minutes just trying to wipe all the goopy lotion of my hands and arms to the point where it felt excessive and the stylist was back at the chair just waiting for me. I've been thinking about it for a couple months now and watching as my hair grows back, and I'm pretty sure I won't be back as a regular customer. This place clearly does a great job with shorter men's cuts, but I think that as with most places that cater to men's haircuts specifically they just aren't used to cutting longer hair on men... or maybe I just got a one-off bad cut on a bad day. In short, probably safe to come here with short hair, otherwise go wherever your wife/girlfriend/sister/female friend goes and you'll get a much better cut for your longer hair at about the same price point.
