Hello! I’m Layla, owner of The Bobby Pin Salon! I am currently not accepting new clients, but I can heartily recommend any of the stylists here at the shop! Carl, Sandra and Joseph are all seasoned stylists who are more than capable of making your hairdo dreams come true. Louie and Victoria are newer to the craft - but they are both truly talented, very attentive and knowledgeable!
Book with Carl Stark - I am an east coast transplant now living the dream in the city of roses, Portland, Oregon. I strive to be the best listener I can be, to help you find a style that looks great simply air dried out of the shower, or blown out for a night on the town. I am a direct, hold no prisoner, sugar-coating free stylist. I favor low maintenance, lived-in looks.
Book with Sandra - With decades of experience working on a vast spectrum of hair textures and densities, I still get stoked on the craft of hair cutting and coloring. I want you to love your hair everyday with a look that brings your true self forward.
Louie (they/them) is a born and raised Portlander who loves to draw, do tarot, spend time in the great outdoors as well as support the local punk/music scene. Louie excels working with curly hair, razor cuts, modern and alternative hair styles. They also love a creative color challenge! Louie’s style inspirations range from classic elements of the 60’s and 70’s, to edgier nuances from the 90’s punk movement. Louie approaches their work as a collaborative process with their clients: co-creating a style that feels personal to each individual. “ I pride myself on my creativity, strong listening skills and ability to connect with clients. I am especially passionate about providing gender-affirming haircuts and creating an inclusive space for people from all walks of life”.
