I moved to the Portland/Vancouver area 18 years ago and have been searching ever since for someone who could replicate my previous favorite haircut. Recently I found Mike! Although a couple of other stylists came close during that time, Mike surpassed them all. He is a great listener and isn’t afraid to try specific requests, plus he has the capability to follow through with the necessary skills and experience.Usually I will work with a stylist for about six months. If they don’t understand what I want by then, it’s definitely time to move on. Mike makes sure of your intentions through active listening and questioning for confirmation before starting the cut. If you have had trouble with others not really “getting” your haircut, make an appointment with Mike; he’s fabulous. – Ballroom Diva
