I've been coming to Joy as my barber since my first real haircut. Joy has taken me though, dropping the curls I had as a little boy to letting a tail grow down my upper back. My two mohawk phases with instructions on using colors that wash out easily, to designs shaved into my head. I now prefer a shampoo and a short cut that fits easily under my baseball helmet. I start college in the fall and I am glad I'll be close to home, and able to text Joy to get on her barber schedule.

When I moved back to Portland, I spent several months looking for a great barber. I found that barber in Joy. She's a skilled barber who can deliver a great haircut but who can also suggest and deliver changes to meet the needs and whims of her clients. Joy's personality ensures that each visit is an enjoyable event. I highly recommend Joy!
Joy has been a great barber for me – one I’ve used for years. Great skill, great stories and a great personality – makes for a great barber experience. Thanks!

I have known Ray for many years and about a year ago my situation changed and I began going to Ray to get my hair cut. Ray does exceptionally good work and as a result has been able to extend the amount of time between cuts. Taking the time for haircuts has never been my strong suit, which is why I appreciate Ray.
I give Ray the highest recommendation possible. Ray you are the best!

I have been seeing Pam for over 15 years to help keep me looking young and presentable (I need all the help I can get and she does a fabulous job). When she told me she had the opportunity to become the owner of Mar-dons, I was so excited for her. It seems so perfect that she would have a shop of her own. Pam has seamlessly morphed the shop into B2 Beauty & Barber. It has a new look and vibe but the same great stylists are still there. I highly recommend that you stop in and experience the relaxing environment of the new shop. You will be glad you did.

Go See Ray!
I have known Ray H. for over twenty years. I am fanatical about my hair. I don't know why exactly, but I am. With this understanding, I've been a client of Ray's for about 6 months. I knew that Ray was a stylist all these years, but feared an uncomfortable situation in the "likely" event that I would in some way be dissatisfied by his work. All I can say is that was a huge miscalculation. After years of jumping from salon to salon, often following my high priced stylist(s) around town, my wife (who had become a Ray client a couple years prior) urged me to give Ray a try. I agreed to see him temporarily while my regular stylist was on an abbreviated leave. Well, my "try" ended up turning into a resolution: "I will never get my hair cut again by anyone other than Ray, so long as we both live!!"
See, Ray turns out to not be a stylist at all......rather, an incredible "artist," that will blow your mind. I always tell him that he should be featured in Manhattan, or on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills! So, if you want the care, attention to detail and artistry for 2015 that can normally only be found in the trendiest of markets.....get to this salon in West Portland, and go see Ray!!
The shop has been rebranded from its former name, MarDon. The new owner is Pam, and what a delight she is. The entire staff has been at it a long time. I was shocked to learn the tenure of this teams many stylists. The salon has a warm, welcoming feel. New ownership is updating the interior and changing some of the decor. What needs to be understood is that you will get the finest work, premium service.....all that Hollywood has to offer, at what I consider, small town pricing. Do yourself a favor, make a resolution....like I did, and go see Ray. You'll never let another "artist" touch your hair!

I started having my hair done by Joy around 1994, following a hair cut disappointment with a gent who had been cutting me for a year or so but just didn't understand what I wanted.
I wish I had found Joy when I first moved to Oregon!! Whether it's time for a trim, full cut and restyle or a new color Joy, has always understood what I want and made it happen. Joy's scalp and brain massages ( you might call them a shampoo) are just what the doctor ordered! I used to get highlights in my dark hair and perms, and now it's a bit of color and more natural soft curl.
Joy adds merlot or maybe a little chocolate color and it works beautifully to cover the greys I am starting to grow. Joy introduced me to a few hair products over the years and I am loving the latest one she had me try. I can have wash and wear hair, add a little volumizing solution and have soft, in control, gentle curls that frame my face.
Thank you Joy for always giving me the look I'm looking for.

Having been a customer of Mar-Don's Hair Salon, now B2 Beauty & Barber, since 1978, I believe this to be a great testimonial for absolute satisfaction of service and quality, which I received over the years. That is 37yrs!! I always looked forward to my visits, knowing I would receive excellent service, and enjoy an entertaining environment. The hairdressers have all been delightful and dedicated to quality work and the superior care of their clients. I believe I have aged gracefully with Mar-Don and will continue to do so under the marque of "B2 Beauty & Barber". Thanks guys (and Ray Henderson especially). It's been a fun trip!

I have known Bella for many years, 37 of which, she has been my hairdresser. That alone must say something! She has cut, styled, shampooed, curled, blown dried, tinted, permed and waxed. (And that there is a funny story). She has come to my home if I have been ill or hospitalized. But she has other ladies on a consistent basis. Never late and rarely sick. When I come in for an appointment, I feel as if I am meeting a friend for coffee.
Marianne June 23, 2015
Bella is the ultimate professional when it comes to hair styling. She has been doing my hair for many years, and I would never go to anyone else! Her special forte is styling fine hair.
Brenda June 23, 2015
After years of barely adequate hair care, usually accompanied by "attitude", I was blessed to be introduced to Bella. Life is good....
As an international business person and speaker, Bella's hair care helps give me the confidence that my appearance is an asset to the presentation.Jan June 23, 2015
