The 3 AM Box Dye Temptation 🫣📦
Has this ever happened to you? You’re walking down the drug store aisle, staring dead into the box dye section, and a rogue thought pops into your head: What if I just buy one? What if I change my whole life right now?
Look—it could turn out amazing! Or... it could be the exact reason you have to panic-book an emergency hair salon appointment tomorrow morning. 😭
We certainly don’t throw shade on DIY hair care here. Experimentation is fun! But if you are looking for that rich, seamless, multi-dimensional finish that Moira just worked her magic to create for this guest? You might want to step away from the aisle, put down the box, and book an appointment with a professional today. 🌿✨
Save your hair, save your weekend, and let the experts handle the color chemistry!

The Ultimate Pre-Move Ritual ✈️✂️
There is a very specific kind of dopamine hit that happens when you finally check every single overwhelming thing off your to-do list. The boxes are packed, the logistics are locked in, and the big move is finally here...And then you look in the mirror.
Let’s be honest: before you start your next grand adventure, you need that crisp, clean cleanup haircut to officially step into your main character era and live your absolute best life. 🌿
That was the exact mission for this guest before heading out on a massive life change. The very last stop on the pre-move checklist? Cathedral Park Salon, where Maya worked her magic for one final fresh cut and style to send him off in style.
When you’ve got everything else checked off your list, a fresh cut is the ultimate way to close one chapter and open the next.
Drop a 🙋‍♀️ in the comments if a haircut is your ultimate transition ritual, and wish our friend luck on his big move!

Supporting Local, One Curl (and Court) at a Time
Running a small business in Portland’s neighborhood community is a wild, beautiful, all-consuming ride. When you are pouring every ounce of energy into getting a local business up and running, self-care often drops straight to the bottom of the priority list—just ask our friend Jake, the owner of Foundry Padel, who has barely had a spare second to breathe, let alone book a salon appointment.
So, we decided to bring the salon experience directly to the court!
For anyone who hasn’t tried it yet, padel is taking over as the ultimate new sport in town. It is fast-paced, incredibly fun, and hands-down one of the best ways to get moving, connect with locals, and join a welcoming community. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just looking to try something new, you have to come check out Foundry Padel sometime!
Meanwhile, Jake got a much-needed refresh without ever having to step away from his hustle. Local supporting local is what it’s all about here in St. Johns.
Drop a comment below if you’ve tried padel yet, and come visit us both in the neighborhood soon! 🎾✂️

The eternal struggle: “My hair is so tangly, I desperately need a haircut... but I cannot lose an inch of length!” ✂️✨
Can you relate? Good news: you don’t actually have to choose between managing your tangles and keeping your long locks.
Watch how Vivian works her magic with a custom curly cut designed to debulk, relieve friction, and restore bounce—all while preserving that hard-earned length. By shaping the curls properly and treating them with lightweight, plant-based hydration, those knots don’t stand a chance. 🌿💧

Embracing a New Chapter: Red to Blonde Transformation! ✨
Big life milestones deserve a big hair transformation to match. This wonderful guest was ready for an exciting new chapter: after rocking gorgeous red tones, she recently graduated from nursing school and stepped into her very first official medical job! Ready for a fresh, professional look, she came to us wanting to transition to a lighter, brighter blonde.

Going from rich red hair to a bright blonde is a journey, and we always want to keep the integrity of your hair healthy and strong every step of the way. While reaching full platinum is a multi-step process, this first round gave us the most gorgeous, vibrant transitional shade—and the change feels so good!

The Journey to Healthy Blonde Hair
Custom Color Correction & Lifting: Breaking through previous red color takes time, patience, and expert formulation to lift safely while protecting your hair texture.
Dimensional Transition: Our custom blonding techniques ensure that even during the intermediate stages, your color looks intentional, polished, and beautifully blended.
Hair Health First: We use professional bond-builders and nourishing treatments during every step of your color transformation to maintain strength, shine, and manageability.
If you are experiencing a major life change—whether it’s a career shift, graduation, a new season, or just a craving for a fresh identity—and you want your hair to reflect that inner evolution, we are here for you!

Rich, Dimensional Brunette Magic ✨
There is nothing quite like a fresh, seamless blend to bring rich brunette hair to life! Moira worked her magic on this gorgeous guest, combining a custom foilayage with a beautiful, clean-up cut to create the ultimate soft, flowing, dimensional look.

By strategically weaving in lighter ribbons through the brunette base, Moira added incredible depth and movement while keeping the overall feel effortless and touchable. Paired with a fresh, precise trim to clean up the ends, this style is pure perfection.

Ten years of styling this amazing guest, and we are still finding fun ways to switch it up! 🥂✨

She has rocked her signature curly cut with us for a full decade, but for this visit, we added a bold summer twist: she shaved half her head! ⚡️

Whether you are looking to go bold with a half-shave 🪒, or want a subtle undercut to cool off when the temperature rises and remove heavy weight, it’s the ultimate summer refresh. It’s all about showing a little extra sass—and whatever your reason is, our team is always here for you! 💇‍♀️🔥
