Shazaam Hair Studio

Blanton is super nice and personable, and I think it’s absolutely great that she’s running her own business and part of why I feel hesitant to leave a less than 5 star review.
I’m only intending to write this is for a specific type of hair client just because it would have been helpful for me to know before going in. I had long thick wavy curly hair and went in with a specific idea of what I wanted (to clean it up a bit and work in some more layers and keep it long) but I didn’t bring a picture. I think that because I went into the salon with tangled hair (it was first thing in the morning) she may have thought my hair was more damaged than it was. If I had gone in with a «give me anything» mentality I would have been happy with my haircut… and she would have felt more comfortable to play around with it more to get it right.
The length was much shorter than I had been hoping for and I left with damp hair (didn’t get that nice sleek style finish as I had been hoping for with the price).
Overall, I just wish there would have been more of a conversation/​exchange about what I wanted and felt comfortable with so I could feel like I was also a part of the decisions.

I’ve been coloring my own hair for 28 years, and in recent months had been asking my partner to trim my hair. But with a trip to the Netherlands on the horizon, I decided to treat myself to a proper hair cut and color that was nuanced with multiple shades– something I can’t do at home. I looked here on Unilocal and looked at Blanton’s website and it just spoke to me. Plus she (like me) works from home, and the idea of paying someone knowing that it’s all going directly to her felt really great. I took in my laptop to show her the photos of bright colors I’d been thinking of, and brought my own color (wild orchid) and then we were off. I have short hair and invited her to do whatever she thought would look good. So she did! She gave me an adorable layered pixie cut, then we did the color. She and I selected red in the front and some at the back, and then the purple went on. We chatted about international travel and ourselves until it was time to rinse. To our mutual surprise, the rich magenta/​violet rinsed out to bright hot pink. Very fun, and a color I love, but it didn’t provide much contrast to the red. I took this in stride as it was a color neither she nor I had ever used, and I had no idea how it would look. The end result: bright and spunky and I’m ready to attend the Redhead Days event in Breda, the Netherlands, with unforgettable hair.
I’ll definitely be returning to Blanton for cuts in the future, and maybe more hair color fun once I experiment more at home. Another amazing plus? She’s in walking distance of my home. Blanton is an inspired, yet also very down to earth and accessible hair whisperer, as another Unilocal reviewer so eloquently wrote. :)

My hair has been monogamous to Blanton (Shazaam’s Hair Ninja) for a very long time. Blanton is a talented stylist & colorist. She is extremely personable, has a great sense of humor, and is adept at transforming a sad hair mess into a stunning coiffure. The transformation-​o-​hair takes place in a delightfully decorated hair house cottage. Do not hesitate! Schedule an appointment with Blanton, today.

I was eager for change in my life and had been wanting to do something radically different with my hair… I walked in and said, «Nice to meet you Blanton, do whatever you want with my hair. Find the best cut for my face shape and hair texture. But it must be zero (ok, or maybe 1%) maintenance.» I don’t have time to fuss with it in the morning but I need to look fabulous. I admit I was nervous! He result? TRULY FABULOUS! My hair was very long with bangs, and it was straight on the top layer but had awkward waves underneath, leaving it limp and weird if I didn’t blow dry it… Which took forever and killed my hair. She found the waves underneath I and brought them out giving a soft wave and lots of body and fun to my previously blah mop.
Since then, people compliment my cut almost every day, sometimes even stopping me in my tracks to offer appreciation, and it’s been almost 2 months and the compliments are still coming. It’s growing out like dream. I also suddenly had more inquiries for dates than I could handle. Three in one day once! Seriously! I’d never dreamed I had such fabulous hair hiding in there somewhere. Blanton truly IS a hair ninja!
I found Blanton thru a Unilocal deal. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m SO glad I did! She had the best ratings for the right price.

Blanton is the realest hairstylist in the game. She’s knowledgeable, personable and fun. This is a great spot for people who enjoy a more private setting. Your secrets are really safe here.

How do I even begin to describe my experience with Blanton? She is a hair wizard, ninja, and fairy godmother… I have been trusting her with my hair since 2005! After every cut, and sometimes color, people rave about my ‘cute’ or ‘awesome’ hair – who doesn’t want that said about their hair?! Be wary of others, and follow my lead and head straight to Shazaam Hair Studio. Sunday Hair Church is my favorite.

For years my friends had their specific ‘hair person’ — the one person in town they always went to for hair cuts and colors, the person they scheduled with ages in advance, the person they went to for special occasions, the person they counted on with their hair. Me, on the other hand, went to a variety of people and places — I went through tons of people at Aveda, went through more at Magnum Opus, colored it myself, got haircuts from boyfriends, etc. I had no hair commitments.
Then I noticed a friend kept getting these really, really cool cuts. And her hair color (s) was fun, funky, but professional. Turns out she was going to Blanton! I scheduled right away.
5+ years later Blanton is still my steady hair whisperer and I’m so grateful for Shazaam. It’s a groovy little spot, filled with personality, tucked in a cozy neighborhood. Location’s great, parking couldn’t be easier, and the cost is right. Blanton also happens to be one of the cutest, raddest people you ever did see — she’s full of surprises in the best way possible.
But the best part: awesome cuts and really perfect color. Blanton knows me well, knows my hair, and works her magic consistently — seeing her is a treat in every way and, as others have said, I get a ridiculous number of compliments on my hair these days.
So: If you’re looking for a kick-​ass hair ninja who will make you laugh while working magic on your hair… look no further. Shazaam is where you hair dreams come true.

The name, «Blanton,» means, «Hair Ninja,» in 9 out of 10 romance based languages. Ten out of ten customers agree that Hair Church is a truly religious experience, where Blanton works her magic and makes every hair bend to her will.
Seriously, folks, my curly head of hair has brought me great anxiety and turmoil when hair cut time arrived. Now, I look forward to every moment of the Hair Church experience because I know that Blanton is a true Hair Ninja who can make every hair I have joyfully bend to her will, and look it’s best. Not to mention that she is an over-​all cool chick who I love hanging out with.
The studio is a tribute to the quirky coolness of it’s Ninja Master, with fun and funky visual details everywhere, from the «Barbie Doll Chandelier» to the sexy retro Hair Church Chair.
Add the i-​pod soundtrack that spans 80s retro rap, to obscure neo-​disco, Blanton always keeps her pulse connected to what is new and edgy in the world of hair, and culture. Bottom line is that I have been coming back for over five years, and will never worship at another Hair Church as long as I live.
Amen

Blanton is the best. We never really have to talk about what I need for long, she knows what I want more than I do. I’ve known her for 9 years and I look forward to my appointments just because she is fun, her clients are fun, and I know I’m gonna laugh and talk and look hella cute when it’s over!

Am I biased? Only because Blanton rocks. Blanton pays attention in class, responds well to coaching – no wait. Blanton does my hair wonderfully! Never in my whole life have I remained so satisfied with a hair cutting person for so long. She’s fun and funny, and also capable of working together with you to create ‘ffffresh cuts’ (my words not hers) for yourself. Shazaam it, you won’t be disappointed.

Blanton has been cutting my hair since 2008. All I have to do is show up, say, «make it look cute, but know that I won’t spend more than 60 seconds on it in the mornings so it has to be EASY.» Snips happen, laughs happen, we solve the world’s problems… and by the time I’m getting my hug on the way out the door, she has performed her regular miracle. — Even when living on the East coast and in the midwest for extended periods, every trip back to Oregon included an appointment with Blanton. Every single hair on my head loves Shazaam!

Blanton is my girl! Cute cool cuts & colour in a dope, chill space! Great person, great space make sure you book ahead because she books up!

My wife gets her hair done here. She is always really excited about the experience. I am too because it’s close to Apizza Scholls so I get pizza afterwards. As for the haircuts: I think they’re awesome. I can hardly keep my hands off of her freshly shorn locks.
So, in short, from a husbands perspective this is totally the place to have your wife get her hair cut.
