“I swear it was pure luck that 5 years ago I booked my first appointment with Emily Natale. She is hands down the best stylist I have ever had. Now that I know what makes a good hair stylist, I refuse to let anyone else touch my hair. Emily is so talented, friendly and knowledgeable, but most importantly, she is passionate about hair and staying on trend with ways she can master her craft. I go to Emily for a cut every 6 weeks and balayage a few times a year. She even asks the questions I didn’t know I had to ensure she leaves me with the cut and color I was dreaming of. I always leave her chair feeling confident and GLOWING. The talent Emily possesses is incomparable. Many people on the street have stopped me just to compliment my hair, I cannot give Emily enough praise! ”

“When I first moved to Portland in August, I knew finding a new hair stylist was going to be hard, so I took to instagram and found @emilynatalehair. I immediately loved her work, but I had no idea just how much I would luck out with Emily!

Emily took my damaged, slightly red-tinted hair and gave me the best haircut and color I have ever had! She took me through her recommendations, answered my (many!) questions, toned down the redness, and made my hair so shiny. Her highlight blending skills are incredible! Every time I leave the salon I have a huge smile on my face and get so many compliments on my hair.

Emily is an amazing hair stylist, and an even better friend. She gave me amazing recommendations for my new city, and we laugh nonstop during my appointments. I took a chance and totally lucked out with Emily, and I absolutely recommend her to everyone I meet without hesitation. ”

“Best salon experience I’ve ever had. Emily is a talented hair stylist who listens, makes the perfect recommendations, then executes with meticulous attention to detail. My natural curls have never looked so happy & healthy. She truly has a gift.”

“I have been going to Emily for 5 years. I jumped around from stylist to stylist until I found her. I primarily stick to “natural” blonde looks, but she is always staying on top of trends and taking classes on new techniques, offering slight variations and consistently keeping me fresh and contemporary feeling. She is very detailed oriented, listens to hair priorities, and makes sure that I don’t damage my hair unnecessarily. She is kind, fun, and makes me look forward to getting my hair done. You can’t go wrong booking with Emily!”

“I moved to Portland in May of 2015 and wasn’t sure where to get my hair done. I tried a few different places but found little to no success in finding someone who really cared about the health of my hair. I know dying blonde can be quite the task and really wanted to find an honest stylist about what we could do with my hair. After reaching out to friends about my issue I was referred by a few ladies I work with to stylist Emily. I am so happy that I found her. She really takes the time to do amazing work with color and health of my hair. I appreciate her work and friendly attitude. I highly recommend her.”

“Emily has been coloring and cutting my hair for years now! She always takes her time with me and pays attention to what my desired needs are. A lot of times I just want a change but I don’t know what I really want. Since she is always doing her continued education for cuts and color I can trust she will do my hair with the latest cutting edge styles. I highly recommend her.”

“Emily has been doing my hair for years! I’m definitely in the camp of never knowing what to do with my hair. Emily is knowledgeable and talks me through my needs and options. She knows her clients well enough to understand cuts and styles that work for their life. Her product recommendations are relevant! highly recommended!!”
