The Bobby Pin

Louie gave me my favorite curly pixie cut ever! They're now my go-to in Portland. Louie was super kind and welcoming. The salon is BEAUTIFUL, too! The vibes are amazing. Thanks, Louie!

First time in at the Bobby Pin. I have a lot of anxiety about haircuts and salons, but this was a great experience! Wonderful, thoughtfully designed, calming space. Layla did an excellent job with my haircut and was so easy going and fun to talk with.

I love Sandra! Besides being a great stylist she is a great person. Smart as a whip, funny, and has a great heart. She’s super fun to chat with while you get your haircut, she knows her stuff and listens to what you want. And she is honest. I think she is the best!

Sandra is amazing. First, I can schedule using the app, and it's SO EASY. I had the same hair person for over 20 years, but since COVID, scheduling has been almost impossible, and texting back and forth didn't work for me. Using the app makes it so easy to make and keep my appointments at times that suit me, and I can make an appointment from the app. in the middle of the night if I suddenly need one. Next, Sandra is very communicative and takes the time to understand what I want, not assuming I want the same thing every time- you know, I got to change it up now and then! Then, Sandra understands how my hair works- it's very thin, but I want to grow it out and she's helped enormously. I can't believe how amazing my hair looks and feels! It's been a game changer for me and how I feel abo

Went to see Layla for the first time last week. Had shoulder length curly (2b) hair & a vision for an asymmetrical pixie / shag cut. She looked through my photos of ideas, asked smart questions to clarify how the back should look, what I *didn’t* want. The cut was pretty quick, she checked in along the way about how I was feeling about it. And most importantly for me: she STYLED it well. You just never know how that will go with curly hair. Also: painful small talk is my least favorite part of haircuts, and Layla was very chill, very easy to chat with, zero pain. Yay.
