Custom colour, precision cuts and hair health · Portland
Healthy, luminous hair should not fight you every morning. At Fernway & Slate, licensed stylists and master colourists create dimensional colour, tailored cuts and restorative scalp treatments that grow out seamlessly between visits.
The wall, 5 plates
Every visit begins with an unhurried consultation on your hair history, upkeep goals and exact price before a single bowl of colour is mixed.
A mineral scalp detox, a warm steam mask, a head massage and a bouncy round-brush finish.

Great colour never comes at the expense of your hair. Colour is formulated in natural daylight with low-ammonia European colour lines, bond-rebuilding protection goes into every blonding and lightening service, and cuts are shaped to fall cleanly with minimal heat styling at home.

Four months since my balayage and my hair still looks softly blended, without a single brassy streak or harsh root line. Simone gave me an exact quote before anything was mixed.

Finally a stylist who cut my curls dry, listened when I asked to keep my length, and got rid of the heavy triangle shape. My curls have bounce right from the roots now.

Clara helped me move into my natural silver without looking two-toned for a year. Fine cool foils blurred the line completely, and every stage of growing it out has felt polished.

Think about your roots six weeks from now. Balayage keeps soft natural depth at the root and needs a visit every three to five months; full foils start bright near the parting and are refreshed every eight to ten weeks.
Starting prices include standard colour, bond protection, a custom gloss and a blowout. Very long or dense hair needs more product, and your stylist confirms the exact total in writing before mixing any colour.
For colour, arrive with clean, dry hair washed a day or two before. For a curly cut, wear your curls washed, detangled, dry and loose, so your stylist can read the natural pattern.
Yes. Name the stylist in the contact form and the salon confirms when they are free.
It is complimentary, takes fifteen minutes, and ends with an exact written price before any colour is mixed.
An email when a cancellation opens a chair or the salon’s hours change. No fixed schedule, and one link in every message removes an address from the list.
