Salon Verve 165 West Bond Street, Astoria, OR 97103

"I have been seeing Sari as my colorist since 2000; I cannot believe I have never left a review. Sari wants to know what you want, she’s conservative with cutting length off (which I need sometimes!) she is honest about helping you define and achieve your hair goals, taking in to account modifications for what works for your style, age, face shape, hair type, etc. Not to mention the fact that she has traveled the world training and teaching— I don’t think it is realized how fortunate we are to have such talent in our small corner of the state, let alone wrapped up in such a humble, pleasant, welcoming, genuine package. You will likely spend a bit more here than at other salons, but the personalized, skilled, energizing session will be 100% worth it."

"Before I met Sari, I went just about anywhere for my haircut. I based it completely off of price. I didn't understand why someone would go to a specific salon. Now, I can never go to anyone else. Salon Verve is not just a haircut, it's an experience. You will not find a more judgement free salon. Sari takes the time to understand what look you want and why you want it. Your stylist cannot unlock your potential like she can. I promise that after one visit, you will feel better than you ever have leaving another salon."

"Having just read, How to Cut Your Own Hair, I have the courage to try because I know that Sari can fix my mistakes once we emerge from Social Distancing. I trust Sari, as she has been my stylist for years. She is skilled in her craft, and considers the whole person when collaborating on cut, color, and style. She notices details, and considers not only hair traits, but also my overall personal style. Through the years, I've had bobs, lobs, and shags, hair trends that Sari customizes to be uniquely my own."

"Sari is an artist. My hair is naturally curly and very challenging for me to style. Sari is amazing and always knows just what to do with it. She listens to my ideas and comes up with the perfect look for me. I love Salon Verve and highly recommend Sari."

"In the two decades Sari has been my stylist, she has listened to me and invented my color and style with me. She came up with a cut that is easy for me to maintain and requires little effort on my part, and many assume my color is natural. She uses only upper end products, and she knows what works best for each hair type. The woman is a genius with hair color. Sari is warm and gracious and gives her time and energy freely. The shop is an intimate setting, usually only one other person at most. When you are Sari's client, you have her complete attention. I grew up hating my fuzzy, difficult hair, but Sari taught me how to make it work for me, and I will always be grateful."
