Step-by-step service process
When you arrive at Geneva’s in the Kerns neighborhood we start with a brief consultation to confirm your styling goals and any scalp or hair sensitivities. The shampoo portion cleanses hair and scalp, followed by the included conditioning treatment that adds manageability. This stage prepares your hair for a tailored blow-dry finish.
After rinsing and gentle towel drying, your stylist sections hair to control drying and shape. Blow-dry timing and the resulting volume or sleekness depend on hair length, density and the finish you requested; the stylist adjusts drying direction and tension to shape the final look without promising a permanent outcome.
How local climate affects results
Portland’s Pacific Northwest climate matters for wet-weather styling choices—frequent fall-through-spring rain and higher humidity can soften a blow-dry faster than in drier months. We consider these conditions when recommending finish styles and maintenance between visits so your hair behaves more predictably on the way from the salon to your destination.
Busy professionals and families coming from nearby Lloyd Center, the Moda Center or the Alberta Arts District often book around work and events. That influences whether we focus on a longer-lasting, structured finish or a quicker refresh. Tell us about your plans and we’ll prioritize durability or speed accordingly.
Timing and practical details
The Shampoo + Blowdry service at Geneva’s is scheduled as a 30 MINUTES appointment and is priced at $120. Because the service includes a conditioning treatment, appointments are planned to let the conditioner work and then be rinsed before styling. If you want additional services, please allow more time when booking.
Geneva’s location in the Kerns neighborhood makes it convenient for commuters and event-goers—easy access from I-84, multiple bus lines, and MAX. We see steady demand for early-morning, lunchtime and evening slots, so booking ahead is recommended. Please arrive a few minutes early to check in so your full 30 MINUTES appointment is used.
