Synergy Artistic Salon

I don’t think I would recommend this salon. I didn’t see the result I was looking for. The outcome wasn’t satisfactory. The stylist didn’t seem to listen to my explanations. I will not go back. The result was not only not what I asked for, but also not very well-​done.

I relocated to Oregon a little under two years ago and have been looking for a salon. I FINALLY found it. They offer a 1 stop shop to boot. I really offered little to know input on what I wanted because frankly, I didn’t know what color looks best on me. I just knew it wasn’t what I had. I put my trust completely in Michelle and let her go to work on my hair color. She did a beautiful job. I have not gotten so many compliments on my hair in years. The location is a little inconvenient for me, but I will be making the drive because she is really good at what she does. It’s also nice to be able to add additional services when you are there too. She tinted and waxed my eyebrows. The color is great. Had I realized she tints eyelashes, I would have done that too. .. next time. I highly recommend her services.

Wow! Michelle and her team are truly fantastic!
Michelle is a spit fire of a business woman with true passion for her craft. She is kind, accommodating, and insightful.
I chose Michelle and her team at Synergy Artistic Salon to provide me and my bridesmaids for all the prep we needed for my wedding last month. I was super pleased with the whole experience and loved the results.
The cut Michelle gave my long layered unruly curly hair has been fantastic. The curl behaves beautifully without coaxing!
The color impressed me — as I have extreme chemical sensitivities, and normally get really bad migraines/​sick for 4 to 5 days post treatment… with Michelle’s carefully chosen product, I didn’t have any negative symptoms at all!
MY BRIDESMAIDS WERE GORGEOUS! Seriously, the two stylists who worked with my sister and my cousin did a phenomenal job rising to the task of beautifying and battening down their hair in a creative and secure manner that worked out perfectly for withstanding the 15 mile an hour winds of our wedding ceremony location at the edge of a bluff in the Columbia River Gorge. The impressive thing here, is that due to my chemical sensitivities, I can’t handle being around hair spray — so these talented ladies had to work sans product to help with the securing process! So impressed :)
And let me tell you — the light smoothing/​toning make overs we asked Michelle to do for us last minute could not have turned out better! Felt beautiful, natural, and stress free while making for perfect photos I will hold dear for a life time :)

I was so impressed with the care and service I received from Michelle at Synergy Artistic Salon. The shop was clean, organized and felt very welcoming. I was offered a beverage when I came in. I loved my scalp massage and the products that were used. I loved the way Michelle styled my hair and educated me about options and products. I highly recommend Michelle and her shop! You will NOT be disappointed.

Add me to the steer clear club. I got a $ 40 haircut here two months ago (this is how long its taken me to be objective) and it was just bad.
I asked for a pretty basic cut, my layers to be trimmed up and a little off the length. Not a complicated haircut and a good trial for a new (to me) stylist. I had two distinctive shelves of hair when she was done. I noticed immediately when feeling and looking at it and asked at the time for her to even it out. She did, in about 3 minutes — leaving me with barely less of a hack job than what she had started with. She rushed me out the door since she had another client come in (early) so I left.
A bad haircut or a stylists’ bad day is one thing, but the way a company responds to complaints and criticism seals the deal for me. I called back a couple days later after attempting to see how liveable it was and what specifics I could tell them needed to be fixed and said I wanted a refund or someone else to fix it. No way was I letting that same stylist near my hair. The manager was very accomodating in the beginning to get me in on her schedule which pretty much mirrored my working hours. I was not about to take time off work for them to correct their mistake. After going back and forth on a schedule for a week, I just flat asked for my money back and was told I’d get a call back. Guess who never called back? That was two months ago.
For looking like they do all the right things this place was a colossal dissapointment. The salon was nice looking, the stylists were all very well trained according to their little brag pages at the stations, and they have online scheduling (which is just cool) but their follow through on what could very well have just been one person’s off day has lost them my business.

STAY AWAY!!! Went in for a cut and color… cut ok, not good, but ok not worth $ 40.00.
The color was suppose to be blonde… it turned out Gray!!! $ 165 dollars later… tears… called to try to get the money back for the color was told by the owner Michelle, she would refund half, because some of the color turned out ok… REALLY??? Are you kidding me? Half okay, still GRAY! So, needless to say, never going back, nor will my three daughters, their friends, my friends and who ever asks. Hope it was worth it Michelle, poor management!

I have been coming to Michelle for over 3 years now. At that original time, my hair was so over processed by a stylist who really didn’t know what she was doing. Michelle explained the process of what needed to happen to get my hair healthy again and that it wasn’t a quick one visit fix. She was right, and she did get my hair back to top notch condition in just a few visits. Then she got me to the color I wanted. She is a excellent with color and styling and I highly recommend her to anyone!

So I read Caitlin’s review (no longer posted) and decided I would try someone new — my other hair stylist was really good, but her location wasn’t convenient for me. I too have fine and partially wavy hair with massive cowlicks in 4 different places — grrrr. Michelle just cut my hair and did an awesome job. Furthermore, she educated me the entire time about hair care, how to deal with my current hair troubles, the methods she would use to get my hair moving in the right direction, etc. And, she already knew the direction I wanted to go with my hair! She is SHARP, really sharp.
