Salon in Portland...
I know a few of you were part of a post a little while back on hair salons in the area...I finally took the plunge and went to Ferricchia in Portland. The haircuts range from $42-53 and I got a pretty drastic cut done and it was only $42, so that was a pleasant surprise. The stylist was really sweet and friendly, but it wasn't overkill. They do a full range of color and other processes, but I'm just a wash/cut/blow dry girl, so I can't speak to any of that.
So, in case anyone was still looking, I'd definitely recommend them - they are also next door to Two Fat Cats bakery, down the block from Coffee By Design and across from Micucci, so you have a wide range of deliciousness surrounding you for before or after you go 
Re: Salon in Portland...
I was the one hunting for a hair dresser on the cheap! I ended up going to what looks like an old lady place on Washington 2 minutes from my home and got a nice cut for $30 + tip. That's my type of price! The girl who did it is brand new and trying to build up her clientele- I'm happy to go back!
I must have freaked her out though because I called the next Saturday (this past weekend) and she answered the phone. I said, "Hi, this is Erika. You cut my hair last Saturday." You know she probably thought I was calling to say "I hate my haircut- fix it for free." Not the case though! The stupid old lady down the street cancelled James' appt for the second time and I wanted his hair cut before Easter. She was WIDE open so I went right on in and he got a very cute (though overpriced for a toddler) cut. There were a few old ladies in there too, LOL.
I just can't spend $40-50 plus tip, even if it is something important like my hair. Which is funny because I put on a full face of makeup everyday, but I couldn't give 2 hoots about my hair!
oh, good...I'm happy you found a place!
I was used to paying about $45 + tip previously, so I actually anticipated spending more, so I'm pretty happy - though I used to be pretty lazy about going, so I'd wind up with 6 months between cuts - I just chopped off everything, so I'll be going every 6 weeks now, though they do free touch-ups in between, which is nice...she was also encouraging me to call if I have any styling questions or want anything tweaked in the next week or so
funny that you mention the makeup - I never wear makeup, especially to work, so the hair is all I got going for me...and the stylist was like, "with short hair, you're going to want to play up your eyes" and I'm like, "riiiight..."
