Great haircut. I just wish I had had it cut shorter. Fran gave me a good haircut.

Kurt is seriously the best. He fixed my hair after it had a total beat down. Can’t wait to go get a professional treatment again!

My hair is very curly, and it's been nearly impossible finding a stylist in Portland who really knows how to cut it properly. Karen does the BEST job! She is precise, creative, listens, and offers helpful suggestions. I'm so relieved to have finally found her! Highly recommend!

Beautiful full service salon! They now have a waxing specialist that does eyelash and eyebrow tints and a massage therapist as well. Everyone is fantastic!

Called Bela Hair for a last minute appointment & got one with Karen Rubin the next morning (yesterday). Communication was very easy, they texted me to make sure I got in at a time that was good for me. Karen was very nice & efficient, my two favorite things in great customer service! She did exactly as I had asked & totally understood what I was going for. I'm loving my new trim, it's feeling healthy & fresh. Thank you Karen & Bela Hair for great service! I'll most likely be back again.

Jennie is such a lovely person with great energy and is good at what she does! I’m very happy with my hair and highly recommend her. I love that she uses products that are vegan and environmentally friendly too!

Karen is THEE hair goddess, nuff said. THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY BLONDE, matching my roots AND cutting off all that nasty dead hair while still leaving it not too short. A beautiful creative genius!

Curt took the time to understand my post-chemo hair grow out and carefully attend to details of styling and color. I'm grateful for his expertise!

As more of a Barber Shop kind of guy I can say without any false sense of modesty that Curt (stylist at Bela) has given me the best haircut ever!. He is not only extremely talented but friendly and personable.
I showed him a picture of the style I wanted knowing full well that my hair would not take that kind of style but Curt made it happen!
In short. Go to Curt. He is a genius!

Or whole family gets our hair cut here! We've been going for years for consistently stylish and flattering cuts from many of the stylists, though Jennie is our go to gal! Each one brings their own flavor to the salon; like eco-friendly, cruelty free, en vogue, glitter...it's great!

Bought a Groupon for consult, shampoo, haircut with Curt and I'm super happy! We discussed what I was looking for as my hair was quite long and I hadn't gotten a cut in over a year. He made some suggestions and he was spot on. If you're looking for a stylist who listens and does an amazing job got see Curt @ Bela!

I've already made my color appt. with him in two weeks!

Bella Hair Studio is a great experience. Penny who is the owner is honest, professional, engaging, talented and as my son would say...."knows her way around a head of hair" She does an amazing job and always gives you insight and suggestions if you don't know what you want. I always trust her because she does a flawless job EVERY time. I took a leap of faith over five years ago and it is well worth the 35 minute drive from West Linn to get my hair cut and colored. I honestly would drive an hour and half if I needed to get my hair done by Penny!!

Took a chance on this place since it was near my house and able to fit me in.... So wasn't disappointed!

Cute & Bright. Happy customers and stylists.

My first time in I called for a same day apt and got Kurt. Lucky me! I come in, melt into the chair, and walk out with an amazing cut, color, and style!

It probably depends on which stylist you go to at Bela. I asked for grey blending which in the past I had done at another salon. I guess she didn't understand because she bleached my entire head and added toner to the top of it. It has costs me $100s to get it corrected and still doesn't look great.

A great place to go for a hair cut. Tere has been cutting my hair for a few years now and always does a great job. I'm able to schedule via text and she has evening appointments available. A nice atmosphere inside. The owner, Penny, is very nice as well and it feels good to support a local small business.

This is a cute -- light and bright -- little hair salon in Mt Tabor. I found it through Styleseat, a scheduler that my massage therapist uses. That's how I found stylist, Jennie Mull, and, I'm so glad I did! She's amazing!

Since she's a big animal lover, Jennie uses all natural hair products that are cruelty-free and organic: a vegan shampoo and conditioner line, as well as an all-natural color line.

She did an incredible job on my color, which looks just one shade more than natural (exactly what I asked for!), and I got a rad haircut from her, too! Totally affordable, too

Tere Robbins has been cutting and coloring my hair for the last six month. I have difficult hair (very fine, random curls, etc.) and she has done a great job. Her prices are very good and make it not too painful for me to get in every four weeks to "touch up" my gray roots. The atmosphere at the salon is fun and casual -- much more like a neighborhood salon than a snooty and overpriced shop!
