Hair by Jessi Allison

Jessi is a sweetheart and such a good stylist! She gave me multi dimension layers and color boost and I left feeling like a new woman. Usually I’m used to stylists making my hair too stringy because of layers and she did a perfect job! I have so many different layers of color too and I absolutely loved her work!

Jessi is very knowledgable and skilled at what she does. She’s great with color, uses premium products (from Italy!), cuts hair extensions amazingly!!, gives great hair advice & care/​maintenance tips, is speedy but yet pays attention to detail, and is a pleasure to chat with!

Jessi is the best hair artist around. I had my extensions put in and they looked amazing!!! After months of having them in, not one came loose. She did an awesome job and I trust her totally. Great service and a compassionate professional.

I went to Jessi after doing some research on a full service hair extension specialist– I’ve been getting /​wearing hair extensions for going on two years but hadn’t found someone who did it all — provided hair, colored it to match my own, cut and blended, etc.
Previously, I’ve paid very economical amounts to have my extensions done, but have always had to purchase my own hair separately from ebay, Sally’s, Mid-​K or wherever and bring it with me, and coloring it hasn’t been great, haircuts haven’t been stellar, but I’ve had weaves and single strand hot fusion. I’ve also had some silicone lined micro link highlights. (I had the option of hot or cold fusion for the same price, just hadn’t done it) With hair, color, cut and application I had never paid more than 400 $ total. (around 100 $ for the hair, and 300 $ for application etc.)
So, I went to Jessi– who for 1,000 $ would do all of the above with micro links, and provide AAA grade hair extension hair which is said to be far better than anything I could obtain on my own from ebay, etc.
Well, I got my fancy micro link extensions applied on April 12^th. It’s not been a month, and 28 of them have broken out. Not one have slipped– but my hair is fragile and breaks easily– and Jessi’s method is micro link tubes which are a lightweight aluminum? but very sharp — so even with being verryyyyyy careful, very gentle, always brushing my ponytail while holding the base first, they are just breaking out one after another. I’m a sad panda. All that money, and at the rate I’m going I won’t have any left in (or any of my own hair for that matter) by 8 – 12 weeks. In the past I’ve had many highlights with silicone lined micro links and never once did one break out– so I think my fragile hair and the tubes are just not at all a fit.
They are for sure better than hot fusion– to take them out all you need are pliers, and it’s quick and easy, where as hot fusion takes hours to remove– but as far as damage to my own hair– this time is actually wayyy worse than the hot fusion extensions I had previously.
As for the quality of the hair, it’s decent, but I’m not convinced it’s any better than what I purchased myself because it can’t hold a curl for more than an hour no matter how hard I try– or how fancy of products I use– where as the hair I purchased on ebay would hold a perfect curl and I could leave it for two days and it would still be there, where as this hair falls flat in an hour, even on the day Jessi styled it and used her preferred products.
Overall, This girl is quick– she can hands down apply extensions faster than anyone I’ve been to– her coloring ability is 4 star– and she blended it better than the others– but for 600 $ more for it to fall out three times as fast-​mmmmm I think I’ll stick with my other extension specialist who has me bring my own hair.

I couldn’t ask for a better hair dresser. I have followed her wherever her business has gone. The color is outstanding and her attention to details is what makes her stand out! Love this lady! It’s worth the drive from Salem to Portland!

I have been seeing Jessi for all my hair care needs for five years and she always makes my hair look amazing. She helps repair my hair and keeps it healthy with deep conditioning/​detoxifying treatments and introduces me to the best styling products. Her quality of color and cuts is something I have never found anywhere else. She uses color that lasts so long and is more healthy/​organic for your hair. My color and cuts are always fantastic– I change my hair style & color a lot and she always creates the look I want. My hair is healthier, shinier, more volumized and I get so many compliments after seeing her.
