“Ruth speaks hair. She intuitively cuts my curly waves so that they cooperate together for the easiest and best everyday styles!...I leave with a new understanding of how to better tend to my hair. She is VERY considerate of others’ needs. She also caters to any personal requests such as quiet cuts so that you can have a relaxing experience...”

“Ruth is one of the most talented stylist I’ve met. They are meticulous, attentive, creative, considerate, curious, and kind...Ruth is extra unique in that they slow down and take the time to get to know your sensory needs and strive to integrate this into each step of the styling process...”

"The best part about a haircut from Ruth is her kind attention. She is so thoughtful about the process, taking time to consider all ideas and reassesses often. Every appointment feels like a self-care, time out for me. I love that she values continuing education and is always adding to her skills. She takes into account the time I have to manage my hair each day and tailors the cut to my needs. A small part of me wants to keep this absolute gem hidden, but she, and the manes of Portland, deserve all the haircuts! Ruth is the best, I highly recommend her!"

“I am so glad I found Ruth; she took me from shoulder-length hair to a pixie cut, and it was a great experience overall. She is very gentle and skillful, and my curly hair greatly benefited from her care and tips. I highly recommend her, especially if you have curly hair!...”
