Gilded Fox

"High price does not equal high quality here. This salon charges exorbitantly high prices for the services you receive, approximately $400 for a new client curly cut. The cut does include advice on how to treat and style your hair, but that is pretty standard for curly cuts in my experience. Still, i was ready to pay a premium for what i hoped would be premium service. Unfortunately I left my appointment with Mallory sad and $400 bucks (plus tip) lighter, my curls flat and undefined. The cut itself was not great. Still, the haircut was almost 4(!) hours. For the life of me I can't understand how they justify the price tag for this service. The quality was not there. Not sure if my experience was an outlier but I would recommend virtually any other salon in Portland that specializes in curly cuts, but NOT gilded Fox. I've had curly cuts that turned out fantastic for less than half the price since visiting Gilded Fox."

"1st off my hair is the best it has ever been, and this is after 1 visit. My curls are more define, have more of a pattern and it is all thanks to Mallory. I felt the appointment we had was a class specific for me. I have never had someone sit down with me and explain to me how to treat my hair - the knowledge that was pass on is invaluable to me. I had so many questions and I felt she really took her time in explain, and you know those curls you can only get the in the salon and can never recreate at home - nope not this time she showed me everything. Then also had me participate and practice right there so that I know exactly what to do at home. I know I have found the place for my hair. 2nd the location is very easy to get to, there is many buses that go by and a great location to walk around in before and after appointment as long as it is not too late. - Only thing is if you are someone that has a walk disability and is not able to get upstairs with ease this may be a problem as the Salon is located on the 2nd floor with no elevator. The price is more on the higher side is a luxury to have but not something you need. For it is worth the price point to see Mallory but there is other Curly hair experts who work alongside her and might fix better in your budget, but do be ready to spend a bit of money and for the 1st appt a bit of time this is a long appointment but worth it."

"Correia is MAGIC! My hair isn't the worst, but it was certainly a disaster. I had no idea this hair witch could make my fuzz not only transform in to the ringlets I've dreamed of my entire life, but show me what to use to make them stay that way! I don't think I will ever be able to adequately express how much I appreciate her showing me the way, the truth and the light regarding my hair and the products I've used and what they are actually doing to my hair. I don't think I will ever get sick of saying "Oh I woke up like this". Thank you, Correia, for changing my hair life!"

"I had my first appointment yesterday with Mallory and it was fantastic! Mallory was friendly and inviting, and her skills and expertise were outstanding as well. She listened and was attentive to my concerns and goals with my hair along with being sensitive to my needs regarding scented products. The result of her efforts is one satisfied client. My hair looks and feels great, she nailed the look I was going for. Highly recommend this salon, it’s worth it."

"Curly hair experts! I’m a newbie to the process of embracing my fine curly, curly hair. Marci has patiently been teaching me the steps to hydrate, cast and savor. Each visit I see improvement. Can you see the difference between my before and after?"
