This salon hands down is the best salon in Portland. Everything from the design of the salon to their hairstyle work is spot on.
I am so fortunate to have stumbled across Sean. I met him shortly before him and his wife, Aryn, opened their amazing salon in inner NE Portland. Our meeting was a fluke that saved me from getting straight up barbered. I made my way on a doleful day to a shop in Portland where Sean was temporarily working before before him and Aryn opened up their studio. I wanted all my hair to come off and luckily I fell into Sean’s chair. He does does amazing work at women’s pixie cuts.
If you’re looking for a salon with amazing, dependable, detail-​oriented and fresh stylists, go to De Stijl. I love watching Aryn work while I’m getting my hair done. Sean is always open to new, creative, and fun ideas and can execute them immaculately.

Sean and Aryn are amazing! I am always able to get an appointment within the range I am looking for. They even accommodated my schedule and did a late Saturday appointment for me. Parking is relatively easy in the area. They’re fast at responding to calls, remind you by text, give updates if they’re running late and are super friendly.
I look forward to my hair appointments and leave with my hair looking good. Sean gives the best hair washes by the way.

I got the best haircut and best hair experience of my life here. Sean has technical experience and is very personable and good at checking in. I left very satisfied.

Best. Salon. EVER. De Stijl is truly a gem in SE Portland. Gorgeous space, incredible stylist and wonderful people. Not only will you walk out looking amazing, but Aryn is so fun to talk with, you will be looking for an excuse to get back into the salon!
And this review is long over due. I moved to Portland last year with hair that was damaged from over processing/​highlighting. I had been bouncing from stylist to stylist in San Francisco and getting hair cuts that did not work with my curly, frizzy hair. I found Aryn only a few months after she and Sean opened their salon in SE Portland and it was the best thing that ever happened to me! To start, Aryn gave me a Brazilian blowout and a hair-​cut that worked with my incredibly curly and frizzy hair. We then spent many months working the blond that I love so so much back into my hair. The only difference now is that my hair is silky, manageable and healthy instead of a dry, brittle over-​processed blond! She educates me on best products to use for my hair but is never pushy and happily shares her wealth of knowledge on hair care — even down to the heat setting I should be using on my curling iron. Aryn is easy to contact and accommodates on the days I wake up with a bad hair day and call her asking if she can squeeze me in for a last minute appointment! She is always generous with her time makes you feel as if you are her only client and that she is your personal stylist. Although sadly we know this is not true and that we really have to share her! :)
If you are looking for an incredibly talented hair stylist, I highly recommend that everyone in Portland go see Aryn and Sean at De Stijl!

Great place, owners are super sweet people. Went in for a trim and it went so quickly the stylist/​owner told me not to worry about paying for it. I insisted, of course. Very attentive, listened to and delivered what I was asking for. Highly recommended.

I have been blessed with incredible stylists ever since moving to Portland over a decade ago, and Sean is among the very best. I have a lot of wave in my hair, and he did a great Brazilian blowout and fabulous color and cut subsequently. He and his spouse, Aryn, are so personable and knowledgeable, and they make their lovely salon very welcoming. I cannot recommend their salon highly enough!

I have a full head of curly Middle Eastern hair and Aryn is amazing! I’m always terrified to try a new person. For literally years I did nothing but get trims (no cuts, no layers, no treatments, no color, no «cleaning up,» literally nothing) because I didn’t have anyone I loved or trusted enough to do anything else, and was so paranoid from past experiences.
She is AWESOME. She knows her stuff, she’s got hair down to a freaking science. She told me what I was doing wrong, how to handle and maintain, and it all made a world of difference! She gave me a perfect cut that worked beautifully with my hair curly, and straight for when I wore it that way.
I got brave at one point and tried a Brazilian Blowout with A DIFFERENT stylist before Aryn and I couldn’t believe how hyped up it was. It did not last long, results weren’t as described, I left not looking like I just left a salon, ect… I felt like I had thrown my money away. When I went to Aryn she said that shouldn’t have been the case, so I decided to just try again with Aryn. The steps she took were different than the steps the previous lady took, and it came out awesome! It lasted longer and I saw noticeable difference in appearance and being able to manage it. She also told me REALISTIC expectations for how it would come out and how to treat it. I did that twice with Aryn. I went back to her recently and she asked me how I felt about Keratin because she’s found a kind she liked and thought it might work well for me, I completely trust her so I went for it, and I absolutely love it! (She could probably recommend me shaving my head at this point and I would trust her! ;) haha)
You can text her pictures of products if you want her input or have questions! She urges you to do this so you won’t feel at all annoying. Every single time I have ever contacted her for an appointment she has gotten me in. She’s even opened a bit early to get me in.
I also brought my friend in for a color and cut fix after a bad experience and she fixed up her color and cut into something she loves! My friend has complete opposite hair as me. Slick straight Asian hair –before going to Aryn she was basically in tears regarding how her hair had turned out, and she left there loving her hair!
Love love love this place! Very highly recommended! Thank you so much!

I can only really say that this salon is fantastic. The atmosphere is gorgeous and beautifully decorated. My stylist was Aryn and I came in for a cut and color. I asked for a platinum, regardless of the fact that it might take a few processes because of my bright red hair. She did her best to get it as light as possible, and lo and behold, it came out absolutely perfect! It’s exactly what I wanted and more. The cut she did was superb and she was incredibly welcoming and friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a professional and well done hair cut. Thank you, de stijl. I’ll return when I’m in town, for sure.

Aryn is a miracle worker! Hands down the best haircut and color experience I’ve ever had! She really helped me decide the best balayage color route for my hair type and skin tone. I’ve never had someone spend so much time perfecting my haircut. Aryn is so friendly and easy to talk to! I can’t wait to go back!

had an awesome time getting my hair cut and colored by Aaryn! She’s amazing and did such a good job. Definitely recommend her!

Best experience with a stylist that I’ve had. Aryn took incredible time and care to give me a new look! I have straight flat hair and I felt I needed a style to help me look more my age.;). She asked me to bring in photos of hairstyles I liked and with that we came up with a plan together. I’m really happy with it and I’m absolutely going back!

I came back and saw Aryn again for a Brazilian blowout which was a first for me. Loving my hair, it’s so soft and healthy looking and feeling. Not to mention my blow dry time has literally been cut in half. By far the best salon I’ve ever been too, love these guys!

Awesome. Sean was so knowledgable about the products and methods and did an amazing job explaining everything so I could make an informed decision. I genuinely appreciated that the process was a fast as it could be, meaning I was the only client. In the past I have had stylists even triple book. I know everyone needs to make a living but 4 hours for a cut and color became too much; not with Sean. The location offer plenty of opportunity for parking and the salon is welcoming and inviting. Highly recommend.

I stumbled upon de stijl while my best friend and I were browsing for Brazilian Blowout deals on Groupon. Needless to say, it was an amazing find.
Sean very patiently took the time to explain the differences between the Brazilian and Keratin treatments, and was very friendly and helpful throughout. The results from the Brazilian have been AMAZING. My natural hair is super frizzy and curly. If I let it air dry, it dries wavy, smooth, and soft. If I blow dry it, it only takes ten minutes and looks as if I flat ironed it. My best friend has naturally wavy hair, the treatment made her hair softer, shinier, and straighter. I would 100% recommend grabbing the GroupOn for $ 99 Brazilian Blowouts while it still lasts (if you are considering getting one).

I am in Portland visiting my niece for a few days and arrived way overdue for a haircut! After a long day of shopping at Powell’s and eating great food I came back to my room to relax and suddenly HAD to have a haircut! I did a quick search here to find nearby salons and found this gem. Very nice husband and wife team. Sean was quick to find a sweet style for my hair online and got to work. The best, by far, shampooing I’ve ever had! So relaxing that I nearly didn’t care if I got the haircut! He took his time to really give me the style I requested and needed. Clean, well maintained salon atmosphere and one of the best cuts and styles I’ve ever had. Thanks Sean!

Sean is THE best hair stylist to ever touch my head! :). His attention to detail + creative vision are a killer combination to make you look & feel like a rockstar. Seriously, the best! Plus he’s just a cool dude to chat with during the process! 5 Stars, indeed!

Sean is BY FAR the best stylist I have ever had! I have been going to him for over 3 years and have trusted him to style my hair for important events like my wedding rehearsal dinner. I have long, thick, wavy hair that is often difficult for other stylists, but it was never an issue for Sean. My husband and I have both had great experiences with Sean and would even travel to see him after we moved. He rocks!

I recently moved to Portland from the Boston area over a year ago and have been struggling to find someone who can cut curly hair. Moving is tough as the water is different, the environment, etc. I have been to at least 4 salons in the Portland area and was having no luck. I looked up a great hair care line — Arrojo — and this salon was associated with their products. I figured that this could be the one.
I made an appointment and headed over to see Aryn. I was filled with hope and a dose of hesitation. I was so delighted! Aryn was so friendly and knowledgeable. I learned so much — she definitely knows what she is doing and how curly hair works. Not just one-​size-​fits-​all curly hair but understands the difference among fine, curly hair, and coarse, frizzy hair and how to cut, tame, and style the curls. She spent so much time taking care of me and my curls. They needed the love, for sure.
I was so happy to have my curls back! I have so missed them, and Aryn works with my low key styling approach (I have a toddler and a 9-​month old).
You can tell that they care about clients and about hair. The light in their salon is phenomenal. The sky lights let in lots of natural light — which Aryn pointed out is needed for coloring hair. I have since convinced my Mom to go for a style, cut, and color when she is in town this June. I raved and raved so much about Aryn that my Mom is looking forward to it.
Aryn and her husband have opened up this new salon and are sure to have a cult following soon. Plus, these are genuinely nice people — with fabulous hair! Please go and try De Stijl. They are phenomenal!

de stijl is AWESOME.
I have long curly hair and just moved here from NYC where I had been seeing the same Devachan stylist for over 2 years. I really liked their technique (dry cutting curly hair) and had even switched over to their product line. Thank goodness I googled «Devachan» on Unilocal when I got here because that immediately led me to Aryn and Sean Hogan’s kickass salon (the fact that Aryn trained at the Devachan flagship was in her bio). Highlights of my appointment included:
+ Best haircut I’ve ever gotten
+ Gorgeous space with tons of natural light
+ Beautifully packaged Arrojo product line
+ Fair and reasonable pricing
+ Ridiculously cool /​friendly owners
I plan to go to Aryn for ALL my haircuts from here on out :)

Aryn is by far THE best hairstylist that has touched my hair. I always tell her she has magic hands.
I have very thick hair and have been blessed with a lot of it. She’s very patient when it comes to my hair, especially blow drying it. Lol.
Congrats on opening the salon!!!
