Before Midnight Hair

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Kristina at Before Midnight Hair. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely cared for and confident that I was in expert hands. She took the time to really understand my hair goals, match the perfect extensions, and explain every step of the process so I knew exactly what to expect. The results? Flawless. My extensions blend seamlessly with my natural, VERY fine hair — they look and feel completely real, and the installation is so comfortable that I forget I’m even wearing them. I’ve received countless compliments, and styling my hair has never been easier. Beyond her incredible skill, she’s just such a lovely person — professional, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about making her clients feel beautiful. The studio itself is gorgeous, relaxing, and private, which makes the entire appointment feel like a mini self-care retreat. If you’re in Portland and thinking about getting extensions, Before Midnight Hair is the place to go. It’s rare to find someone who combines artistry, technique, and care the way she does. I’ll never trust anyone else with my extensions again!

Quite comfortable and cute salon! I came here for beaded row extensions. I moved from NYC and was very nervous to find a new stylist. Then I found kristina. She was professional but also relatable. She listened to me and I felt very comfortable. I’m an introvert so that’s a hard one. She let me sit on my phone in silence but said thing to me every once in a while. You can tell she is chatty when she wants to be but quiet when she needs to be. My hair turned out great and my experience was top notch. I will be back for sure!

I have had multiple sets of hair extensions done by Before Midnight. Kristina is very skilled with hair extensions and the varied types/ what will work best for each individual. She uses high quality extensions. Have done wavy/curly and straight. They always look super natural and fit my hair perfectly!

Kristina is one of the best hair stylists I've ever worked with and the only extentionist I'd trust with my hair. I have very fine hair and was super nervous to add anything to it, but Kristina has done a fantastic job helping me find the right amount, length, and size to avoid damage. She is wonderful to work with and genuinely cares about your hair health. I can't recommend Koa Beauty enough!

Kristina is hands-down the best at what she does. I’ve had my fair share of bad salon experiences, and she’s managed to fix every one of them without batting an eye. She’s incredibly skilled, clearly passionate, and the only person I fully trust with my hair. Heck I’d probably let her trim my hair with a blindfold on. I walk in feeling "meh" and walk out feeling like a princess. She’s that good. Just do me a favor - don’t book up all her appointments. I still need mine (;

I had to take a moment to rave about Kristina at Before Midnight Hair – she’s a true hair wizard. Walking into her studio, I was immediately put at ease by a warm welcome. I was nervous about getting extensions for the first time, but Kristina walked me through every step with knowledge and patience. Watching Kristina work was like seeing an artist with her favorite canvas. She matched the extensions to my hair color and texture so well, I can barely tell where my hair ends and the extensions begin. What I appreciated most was the aftercare tips Kristina gave me – they were super practical and easy to follow. It’s clear she doesn’t just do this for a living; she does it because she loves it, and that passion shines through in her work. If you’re on the fence about where to go for extensions, look no further.

If you’re looking to get extensions done in Portland go visit Koa!! Before I came to to her almost a year ago my hair was very brassy, roots grown out, and damaged but Kristina has made it possible to have my dream hair. I’ve had i-tips & k-tips done & she is always upfront about what to expect and will give you the best options possible (:
