Modele Salon

Had my hair done today by Rachel for the first time. Amazing!!! Loved loved loved everything she did!!!
So I had planned to go to my regular lady but something happened and I just happened to find this place and scheduled an appointment same day and was able to get in quickly! Rachel asked what i wanted for color and cut I was unsure going in what I wanted done.
She showed me some color swatches and she decided on an all over color I was really unsure on if i would like it. She was extremely helpful and understanding. In the end we went with the color she choose after we discussed several options and she did fantastic!!! I love the color she may be new here but is a hair color rockstar that really knows her stuff.
I also had my hair cut by her. I have had some bad haircuts or stylist that don’t listen she listened and delivered an outstanding hair cut that fit with my lifestyle and hair type. Needless to say I will be back.
The price was right the place is adorable!!! Parking is not the best they do have a few spots that are marked just for them or bring coins and be able to parallel park!

very disappointed. Shawna failed to live up to her profile. Did not listen, was in a hurry, and did a very poor but expensive job. I picked her for her experience and was willing to pay for it but it was just another hair cut, maybe stylist dont exist anymore.

I’ve been going to Modèle for years and now my teenage son goes there too. We’ve seen Brittany, Michelle K, Cindra, Michelle S, and Johnny. We both have thick, course and (I have) dry hair. With thick hair, if the cut is bad, the «shelves» are obvious. We haven’t had that problem at Modèle. The cuts are quick, thorough, clean and the conversations are good too!
I always love my color and highlights. Sometimes I feel bad paying to make my hair look so natural but what a sorry sight if I didn’t have it colored! It’s so worth it!

I discovered this place while walking by and finally got the nerve to give it a shot after my last stylist moved too far away. Everyone here was super nice, the salon is gorgeous and bright, and Shannon was so friendly and did an amazing job. I left with a cut I love and will be back!

Trendy salon with many modern conveniences including a great mobile site and app. Moderate prices and good location with decent parking.
Love spending time with Nicole Roshak and getting my cut and color ready for the real world! Highly recommend Nicole — I’ve followed her from Hood River to Oregon City.

Nice place. The people are all very nice and they use the latest technology to book and track your appointments. Everyone is pretty good, but I especially like Michelle (although she’s on the pricier side.)
Parking can be a challenge, depending on the time of day. Bring quarters or a debit card!

Great place to get your hair done. Knowledgable and friendly staff, and located right down town with easy parking.

I’m pretty disappointed with my overall experience. The stylist was very friendly, but she was also in a hurry to leave so she could pick up her son, which is understandable. I just wish they had rescheduled me if there was no time to give me a proper haircut. Before I arrived, I received a phone call asking if they could push back my appointment by 30 minutes. I understood, but when I arrived, the stylist was rushed. I felt like she convinced me to grow my hair out so she wouldn’t have to spend the time to really cut and style my hair. I was a little unsure about that, but I also wanted to trust her professional opinion. In the end, I spent what seemed like about 15 or 20 minutes in the chair and left with the same haircut I walked in with even though I told her that I really wanted to leave feeling like I got an actual style. I don’t feel like I got what I paid for.

Salon price for SUPERCUT experience.
I wanted medium straight length haircut with a side wept bangs. Nothing too crazy and pretty simple. The stylist, Michelle S, came out to greet me on time and was pretty quick (washing and drying) so it seemed like things were going well. She was a bit rough though when she was brushing my thin fine hair through all the dangles as she was blow drying, which was uncomfortable. I had mentioned to her during the hair wash that I had much hair loss in the past year so she wouldn’t pull on my hair but after that blow drying/​brushing experience I don’t think she was listening. After cutting off the hair in the back she proceeded to style the front and add bangs. She took a chunk and cut it too short, so it was literally just a chunk on the side of my forehead. To fix it she razor cut more bangs into the length of hair but did not blend it well. I was not happy but kindling asked her to fix the side swept bang she was I wanted and I pulled out the obvious strays out and letting her cut and fix it. After she finished the overall length and bangs were much shorter than I had asked for. The whole process made me loose confidence in the stylist ability to understand what I wanted and her doubt a her skill and experience. She didn’t seem to know how to fix it and faulted my hair repeatedly.
Afterwards I was at a dinner party and and people told my hair was crooked in the back and my hair was choppy!!! Adding that to the terrible bangs the haircut was even worse than I had thought. People actually asked if I had cut my own hair! Super upsetting. That night my sister had to help retrim the bangs before I was flying out for a trip for a family reunion.
PROS: Easy to book online. Nice ambience.
CONS: NOT a compliment when you pay to get your haircut and then people ask «Did you do it yourself?» Meaning did you mess this up yourself? I’m not picky but no one should ever have to coach a professional stylist along and even more so when they mess-​up. Bad stylist and haircut. I told people I’m never coming back.

My husband and I just had our hair cut at Modele Salon by John, and we couldn’t be happier with the work he did.
We moved to the area a couple of months ago, and were nervous about finding the right salon. I am amazed that we found the prefect man for the job on the first try. John said he was born to cut hair, and we definitely believe it! We will definitely be scheduled our next appointments with him.
I love my hair! I never cut it, and am obsessed with growing it out. I have never had much luck finding someone who understands or respects the fact that I want as little trimmed off as possible, but John completely got it, and my hair feels and looks amazing. He took off my dead ends, and styled it with just the perfect amount of taper and layering. Some how, It doesn’t even look or feel shorter, it’s a complete win!
My husbands hair is very difficult to cut. He keeps it to just above his shoulders. It is very think and wavy, almost curly, and becomes completely unruly if not cut the way. John did such a great job shaping and layering it for him. He looks so good.
The salon it self is super cozy, with a very relaxed atmosphere. We are so happy to have found this gem.

I just got home from seeing Britney at Modele Salon for the first time– my cut is fantastic and I’m so happy! She spent a ton of time on me (well, I *do* have a lot of hair) and was very personable. I never know what I want, and she offered great suggestions after hearing my «hair history» as well as giving me ideas on how to care for and style it (without pushing a bunch of product.) I think I’m hooked!

Found this salon on Unilocal and thought I would give it a try after my former stylist moved too far way. My appointment was with Cindra and she was fabulous! She listened, she made suggestions and I walked out with a hairstyle I love!

Today I saw Cindra for highlights. First time going to this salon and loved the atmosphere! It was early morning and nice out today so they had the side garage doors open. She was very nice and did a WONDERFUL job on my hair! I have psoriasis on my scalp and she recommended a shampoo they did not happen to carry as an inexpensive option but also said they may have something id like as well. She wasn’t trying to get me to buy something there but gave me some options to try and I did happen to love the shampoo she used that they do sell there, so I will be back to buy it! I will be back!

Had my first appointment today with Cindra. I absolutely love my hair! And Cindra was great at educating me on how my hair should be styled to look its best. She seemed interested and responded to my concerns. She was just great overall! I have spent lots of time and money going to expensive «trendy» salons and not getting the result I want. But I must say I am very pleased with my overall experience at Modele. I made another appointment with Cindra and have now decided this will be my go-​to salon.

I am a person who rarely changes hair stylists, however I was forced to recently. In fact, I’ve had longer relationships with hair stylists than both of my marriages combined!
I called Modele salon because it’s close to work and scheduled with a newer stylist, Cindra Davis. I thought I would try her out based on her availability and the receptionist’s recommendation. I’ve been to Cindra three times now and she is my permanent stylist.
I appreciate how much time she took to do a good job with both color and cut. She records the color formula each time. My hair looks great. I’ve had highlights, lowlights, and a tint. For the highlights she uses high lift instead of bleach and my long hair is healthy. The haircuts have been great, LOTS of compliments.
I’ve never had a problem parking, plenty of 2 hour meters in front. The salon is nice, comfortable, and very up to date without being pretentious or over the top. They always offer something to drink.
They use good products, Bumble and Bumble, but are not pushy about selling them.
I know Cindra was just in NY with some of the other stylists from Modele for training. It seems they stay up to date with training, which I think is really important.
I am used to paying a lot of money for hair color and cut every 8 weeks. I was pleasantly surprised with the prices. They aren’t the lowest, but not downtown Portland level either. I think the pricing is completely appropriate.
I feel pretty lucky finding Cindra and look forward to a long relationship!

I’ve been to Modele twice now. I’ve seen two different stylists (Shannon and Brittany), gotten two very different haircuts, and have loved them both. Can’t wait to try out another stylist (variety is fun, and I haven’t seen the same stylist twice in a row for years). I’m thrilled to have found a regular place to get my hair done!
All the stylists seem really talented and personable, and it’s a tastefully appointed salon without being stuffy or intimidating.
Prices are mid-​range.
The only tiny thing is that it would be nice if the different stylists had their own prices listed online, as it does vary. My cut from S. was $ 30 and the same from B. was $ 50, for reference.
Oh! And Shannon asked if I wanted to donate my hair, as I was cutting enough of it off to qualify. I thought that was really nice, as I hadn’t even thought of it, and the last time I had enough hair being cut off to donate, the stylist said it was too much bother. Go Modele!

The place LOOKS amazing – I’ll give them that. The salon looks like it belongs in Portland, which is trendy and fun for Oregon City. Their booking website is not well maintained and it was not working properly, causing me to have to call after making my appointment. I was a first-​timer, who read all of the stylist’s bios before choosing, who I thought was the right one. She seemed standoffish at first, maybe she was having a bad day? As a new client, seeing a stylist who doesn’t say much, takes a personal phone call and then gets her own haircut, mid appointment – I’m not totally impressed. They had a good selection of products and their services were reasonably priced, but I’m not rushing back, due to the service I received. As for my hair… she did a good job. The color turned out GOOD, but the cut was GREAT. Wish the service had been somewhere in between.

Great services. Fantastic space. Terrible parking. Metered spaces out front force you to move 2 blocks away every 2 hours so it’s totally impractical for longer salon services during the week. I ended up with a ticket :(and probably won’t be going back. Too bad…

I’ve been in Portland for 3 years and have tried 3 different salons — I’ll be sticking with Modele moving forward. Shawna was awesome! I love my cut and look forward to seeing what she can do with color. I plan to actually get a haircut more than once a year moving forward!

I’ve lived all over the US and even in the UK. I’ve tried out so many salons with disheartening results. I’ve been to Shauna twice and both times she gave me a super cute cut that was on trend with colors that are perfect. Most stylists, I have to give tons of direction to and they still manage to do something totally different than I wanted but Shauna gets it. Definitely recommend.
