I recently moved to Portland and the hardest service for me to commit to was a new hairstylist. I have naturally dark hair that I prefer to be very short Platinum Blonde. My hair does not bleach easily and the haircut shows when the cut isn't done right. I based my search this time on Paul Mitchell products because I know that it works and others didn't. I found Volero salon. The price was more than I liked but not out of line for high quality salons and I needed my hair done. The salon is artistic but not cluttered. The girls who greeted me were very nice and Victor was suave and sweet. I loved the stylist station mirrors custom made to resemble artist easels. My stylist Emanuel made me feel very comfortable. After a consultation he started on my hair. From the beginning I could tell this was going to go really well. Emanuel said he was once a trainer and that also added to my confidence. Emanuel took great pains in each step of the process and explained as he went along. He used techniques I recognized from other salons like not mixing all the bleach at once so it doesn't get dry. After a very nice rinse and scalp massage, I was back to my beautiful platinum blonde. Emanuel cut and styled my hair and I was done and out the door in what I considered excellent time!!
