Our Story
A boutique salon built on artistry, authenticity, and genuine connection
Founded on Passion
Bloom Hair Studio opened its doors in 2019 in Portland's vibrant Alberta Arts District. Founded by Maya Chen after more than a decade in the industry, Bloom was born from the belief that a great salon experience goes beyond beautiful hair — it's about connection, confidence, and feeling truly seen.
Our team of six talented stylists brings diverse training and specialties to the chair, from precision razor cuts to vivid fashion colors. Together, we create a space where creativity thrives and every client leaves feeling like the best version of themselves.
Our Approach
We start every service with a thoughtful consultation. We listen to your vision, assess your hair's health and texture, and work together to create a plan that fits your lifestyle. No cookie-cutter cuts, no pushy upsells — just honest advice and exceptional craft.
We use only professional-grade, cruelty-free products from brands we believe in, including Davines, Olaplex, and Kevin Murphy. Our commitment to sustainable beauty extends to our salon operations — from recycled foils to energy-efficient lighting throughout the studio.
