Hair Parloux

Roze is awesome! I’m a new client (but referred by a crew of ladies who’ve been going to her for years), and she is really thoughtful of the process and helpful with getting to where you want to be. I have ultra fine and thin hair that is difficult with absorbing color. And I like to say «make me look like my calico cat» combining blonde and red with my natural. I could have done a way better job by bringing a photo with me on our initial appt. and instead just tried to explain what I wanted, along with my fears of what devastation has happened by other hair dressers. She worked with me over a couple appts to get where I am really happy! It’s rare that I feel comfortable this quickly! Thanks Roze :)

Roze is the best! I hate getting my hair cut. Two of my lady friends have been seeing her for years now, (their hair is always fabulous,) and have been trying to convince me to go and see her for a long time. After a string of over priced and sub par hair cuts from various places around town I finally relented. That was almost two years ago and I haven’t seen anyone else since. Roze is incredibly skilled and super friendly. She is probably the only person that I’ve been comfortable enough with to say, «Do what ever you want.» and walk away with no regrets. I don’t think I can stress this anymore than I already have but until that lady stops cutting hair I’m not going to see anyone else. Roze is the best.

Carrie Forrester is my hair magician! She can make almost anything happen. Just be honest and she will let you know if it’s possible with your hair. She fixed some awful color I did «all by myself»! We’ve been «together» going on 2 years now and I have followed her through a job location change. She’s THAT good! Call her now

After spending the last 2 seasons in the mountains, it was time for a haircut. I had started growing dread locks, and though they started out by accident, well, since I was in the mountains and had no hair brush, I tried to keep up with the dreads, but after the second season, they had gotten out of control. My girlfriend and some close friends had recommended that Roze at the Hair Parloux, would be a great consult and possibly be able to work some hair magic without shaving my head entirely and starting over. She will gladly cut both women’s and men’s hair, something that is not always the case with some hair salons, but this place is called the Parloux, after all.
I had went and saw her about a week after I was out of the mountains, and was able to get right in. She did a great job, and moved quite quickly through my hair, without skipping a beat, cutting the dreads to where they were extremely tight, and I actually head a full set of hair underneath, who knew. She couldn’t believe it either. I was able to get my haircut in between my girlfriends stages of her haircut. Quick and easy, and she left me looking great, so much I need to treat my self to a knew hat, and maybe some new digs too.
Thank you Roze, for taking such good care of me. I will definitely seek out your services and advice in the near future as my hair continues to grow out. It looks great, and I continue to get a bot of shock from people that I cut my hair, but how great it looks.
Thank You.

I made a prior appointment with Roze (who’s hilarious and easy to talk too) about a week before seeing if I could make a hair coloring appointment! I went to this other guy and he completely did the opposite of what I wanted. She got me in faster then other places I’ve been + she knows how to work with my thick Asian locks. I asked for her to fix my ombré that the prior hair salonist messed up. She immediately had all these amazing ideas and was so sweet and funny. The salon itself is such a glam area, nice furniture, chairs, lighting, etc. Very clean and good Asian candy. I highly recommend! Love ya Rozy u awesome Asian! –Ari & Riley

Kate is my hero! She transformed me in one afternoon from a lovely long haired brunette into a stunning blonde. She was incredibly knowledgeable, outgoing, and personable. It was a long process but she made me feel welcome and comfortable the whole time. I am overjoyed at the outcome and find myself narcissistically enthralled with every mirror I encounter.

Kate recently took my long blonde hair into a long bob and I LOVE it. I was nervous going in at first but she helped me take the plunge!
Salon is great. Blondes know how hard it is to find a new colorist– I’ve found one!

I had my hair done there several months back and had the greatest experience. People are friendly, prices are comparable to surrounding area salons, the location was a huge plus for me in reference to where I live. I called because I was unable to get into my normal salon, and the ratings for this salon were 5 stars. I’m rating it 5 as well. Kate got me in last minute. She really listened to what I wanted and the outcome was beautiful. I was very happy with my blonde highlights, and the brow color lasted longer than any others I’ve had in the past. Kate books out at least a week, which is probably normal for most stylists. I tried to get in with 2 days notice and she was booked up.

Kate Kurzbein is a goddess. She spent her whole day helping me turn my bright green hair into lovely shades of brown, red and blonde ombré. I’ve had almost every color one could have and I’ve never been able to make such a dramatic change. It took plenty of steps but she was happy to do it and it left no damage!
All the ladies were delightful, talkative and helpful. I highly recommend Kate and the lovely salon.
I love my hair much!

If you want to love your hair and have the total salon experience, you simply must call Carole Brotka! I visited Portland and was lucky enough to walk into Hair Parloux. Carole graciously fit me into her schedule, offered me wine, and was just as nice as can be! She has perfected her craft, developing the ability to first listen to the client then produce high-​quality results that match the client’s wishes. I love my new haircut and lowlights!!! Seriously, call Carole today… she is one of the BEST and that’s coming from a girl who has tried a lot of different hairdressers over the years! ENJOY the experience! :-)

Roze has never let me down! Great atmosphere, very well designed, even better results. I have been going to Roze for almost 10 years, and am always thrilled with my new looks. I like to mix it up, and my hair is in good hands at Hair Parloux. She makes getting your hair done a blast, and my hair is always incredibly healthy afterwards. Hair Parloux uses excellent products, aiding in super results :-) I wouldn’t even consider going to somebody else.

Roze is simply the best. I’ve followed her here to Hair Parloux, which she owns, from two other salons. I’ve traveled long distances to see her. Now that I live in California I book an appointment with her when I’m in Portland.
Roze is talented with cutting, styling and coloring. She’s the whole package. Plus, she is fun to hang out with while you’re getting your hair done and the salon is lively and fun. Anyone who doesn’t come here is missing out.
Oh and there’s always a fabulous candy bowl waiting out front. :)

The atmosphere at Hair Parloux is hip and funky, but super relaxing. The décor is chic and the waiting area is small and cute. They always ask if you want something to drink and everyone is friendly and welcoming.
All of that said, I LOVE Kate. She is absolutely fabulous. Sweet, kind, interesting, and she knows how to cut short hair!
The first time I got a cut she scheduled me last minute on the same day, and spent an hour fine tuning my super fine stick straight locks. She was also very understanding and respectful about my «no-​poo policy» and didn’t push any product on me.
I just went in about a week ago for my second cut and WOW. I absolutely love it. It’s fun and flirty and gives my usually limp hair tons of volume. It felt like I was hangin’ with an old friend as we chatted the time away.
I am so glad I’ve finally found an excellent stylist that is also a genuinely awesome human being. If you want an excellent cut with a great conversationalist, go see Kate!

Great place for a great cut. I’ve heard awesome things about color for the ladies at this place. Tracy has cut my hair for years & I won’t go anywhere else. Also, they do both walk in & appointment. Love this spot. Always good music & free booze to boot!

I absolutely ADORE Roze and her hair connoisseur abilities! She is an absolute artist in every way. My mother and I have been going to her since before she opened her new shop in Sellwood, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair at this point. Hair Parloux has a fantastic vibe where the walls are adorned with cool, local art. It’s a very shabby chic feel that’s clean and well loved by its staff. They serve coffee out the wazoo and make sure you’re comfortable for the duration of your hair adventure. All the folks who work around Roze are professionals and super kind people that care about your hair and making you look ultra mega beautymus!

Where to begin, Kate K. is just the BEST! I first became her client at another well known salon after seeing her work her magic on a morning show where she gave a woman a gorgeous ombré. She gave me my first ever professional dye job and the rest is history.
She works with me on every style i come in with so it suites the shape of my face yet is as close to whatever highly styled and photoshopped photo i have managed to bring her. Not to mention she is just a peach and super responsive when i need to get in for an appt., or a bang trim. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Roze made my hair look better than it has looked in years! I asked for ombré and brought my pintrest ideas. She exceeded my expectations and gave me the hair I was hoping for. Her shop is warm and inviting. Her colleague even shared her eggnog latte with me! I felt like I was hanging with my girlfriends. Hair parloux is the only place to go!

A beautiful salon with rotating artwork by local artists.
Traci is an excellent hairdresser. She’s very friendly and she does a great job. I recommend Traci and I recommend Hair Parloux. Check it out.

Roze is the best! I will sum it up in an ultimate compliment — «you look just like Farrah farrah fawcett — in her younger years!» This from a stranger, whom had NO idea what I had recently asked for in my hair style.
Roze consults with me before each appointment and we go over what I want and how she can best fulfill my needs. She is engaged and attentive, creating a comfortable atmosphere in which to do her magic!
I have been going to see her for over 5 years and over that time I’ve gotten younger to the general public! She is turning back the hands of time through good hair!
Thanks Roze! You are the best hair stylist in town! Yeah, it’s over the top but a man told me I looked like Farrah!

I adoreeeeee my new hair stylist, Roze! I’ve seen her work done on other peoples’ hair prior to booking my appointment and always thought it looked great. I knew I wanted to do something fun and funky, but not too over the top wild because I have rotations. That was the description I gave her and she delivered. She gave me suggestions on what she thought would look good («hot» in her words) on me. I’m pretty fluid and like to give hair stylists flexibility to do what they like. If they f*ck it up, I run away. If they make me happy, I will be a loyal customer. Roze, you have a loyal customer in me. I LOVE WHAT SHE DID TO MY HAIR!!! I’m feeling funky and spunky and I am in loveeeeeeee my hair cut. LOVE! I swore off bangs years ago because the last stylist who gave me bangs brought me back to bad times with bowl cuts. Horrifying. When Roze suggested bangs i immediately thought «Oh. Hell. No.» But, being the impulsive person that I am, I said WTF lets do it! It could have been bad. very bad. Thank goodness it wasn’t! YAY for my new fringes (London speak for bangs) :D
If you are in search of a new stylist, I highly suggest Roze. She was very fun to work with and she fed me wine. Thumbs up for wine!
