Cathedral Park Salon

Celebrating 10 years by redefining the art of hair. ⛓️‍💥
We spent our 10th anniversary in the studio, not the salon. Our goal? To move beyond the expected and explore the avant-garde. Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, we sculpted texture and form to create this commemorative collection.
This is the behind-the-scenes reality of our creative process.From the raw BTSto the final editorial frames, this is our creative heart on display. We push ourselves this far because we believe that to be leaders in our craft, we must be students of it.

10 years of Cathedral Park. Here is the art we’ve been building toward.

Behind the Scenes ➡️ Final Masterpiece.

There is nothing quite like a fresh copper to brighten up your look. Moira worked her magic to achieve this multidimensional, healthy shine. 🧡

There is a real art to the perfect clipper cut. It’s all about precision, clean lines, and finding the shape that best fits each individual.
We love that the art of the cut is alive and well in our chairs, and we’re so proud of Maya for stepping into her own. Whether you’re looking for a sharp fade or a classic, clean shape-up, Maya brings the same attention to detail and care that we’re known for.
Come see us! We are more than just a place for long-hair services—we’re here to provide professional, everyday hair for everyone in the neighborhood. ✂️

The secret to that “expensive” hair movement? Strategic layers. 💇‍♀️

Moira is a master at the Mid-Length Layered Cut. If you’re struggling with “pyramid hair” or a shape that feels bottom-heavy, this is the service for you. Moira’s signature technique focuses on:

Weight Removal: Thinning out dense areas without losing the perimeter line.

Face-Framing Movement: Custom layers that highlight your best features.

Healthy Hair Restoration: Clearing away dry, “tired” ends to promote botanical-level shine and health.

Spring is the time to shed the weight! Whether you want a 90s Internal Layer or a modern Shag-lite, Moira has you covered.

Curls are a journey, but the destination is always hydration and bounce. ➰

The secret to curls that feel as good as they look? It starts with the right foundation. We’re reaching for the Aveda Be Curly Curl Enhancing Cream to transform damp strands into soft, defined masterpieces.

Here is the “Wet-to-Wow” breakdown:

The Foundation: Always start with soaking wet hair. This helps the botanical formula lock in moisture and prevent frizz before it even starts.

The Technique: Rake the cream through from roots to ends, then “scrunch to crunch”—though with this pea protein blend, you’ll get all the hold without any of the stiffness.

The Result: Bouncy, touchable curls that move with you, not against you.

No crunch, no fuss—just your natural texture, amplified by plants. 🌿✨

Changing the narrative around grey hair is one of the most empowering shifts we see behind the chair. It’s no longer about “hiding” a secret; it’s about choosing a new expression of yourself.

Whether you want to jump into the silver lane or take the scenic route, there are many ways to honor the transition. Here’s how we can help you navigate the change:

The “Fast Track”: Color Artistry

If you’re ready to see the silver sooner, we can use specialized color-blending and camouflaging techniques. By using botanical, plant-based formulas, we can weave in high-tones and low-tones that mimic your natural grey pattern. This softens the “line of regrowth” and allows your natural color to emerge seamlessly without the harsh contrast of a solid tint.

The “Slow Glow”: The Power of the Cut

Sometimes the best way to embrace the change isn’t with a brush, but with shears. A fresh, intentional haircut can completely transform how your emerging grey looks.

Framing: We can adjust layers to highlight the brightest silver sections around your face.

Texture: Removing weight and adding movement can make grey hair look vibrant and modern rather than “washed out.”

The Big Reveal: A bold, shorter silhouette can often remove years of old pigment, letting your natural light shine through all at once.

Why Transition at a Salon?

This process is a journey, not a single appointment. It’s a series of rituals—from the initial consultation to the botanical treatments that keep your silver bright and hydrated. Our goal is to provide a safe, creative space where you feel celebrated through every stage of your “silver evolution.”

Ready to start your transition?
Whether you want a technical color shift or a transformative new cut to frame your natural silver, let’s create a plan that feels like you.

Hydrated Curls are Happy Curls ✨🌿

If your curls are feeling a little "crunchy" or lackluster lately, they’re likely just thirsty. Our signature plant-based moisture treatments act like a hydration reset for your hair.

As we head into the dry, sunny months, a deep conditioning ritual is the best way to protect your pattern. We focus on botanical bond-building to strengthen while we hydrate, ensuring your hair stays resilient against the summer elements.

🖤 THE ULTIMATE CONTRAST 🤍
From solid blonde to a high-impact two-tone transformation. Watch Taylor create some serious depth with this light-and-dark "peek-a-boo" look.

There is something so satisfying about adding a dark underneath to a bright blonde base. It creates instant dimension, makes the top layer pop, and gives the hair an edgy, "cool-girl" vibe that’s perfect for a Portland spring refresh.

The Process:

Taylor used a precision block-coloring technique to ensure a clean, sharp line between the light and dark sections. We kept the integrity of the hair front and center using botatnical bond-building technology and vegan, plant-based color to keep both tones looking glossy and healthy from the inside out. 🌿✨

Why we’re obsessed with this look:

Versatility: Looks subtle when down, but creates a "tuxedo" effect when tied up or braided.

Instant Edge: A bold change without losing that signature blonde brightness.

A Decade By the Bridge: 10 Years of Cathedral Park Salon 🥂✨

It’s official—on May 1st, we celebrate 10 years of Cathedral Park Salon! 🎂

Take a walk down memory lane with us. From our very first day in St. Johns to the thriving, creative community we’ve built today, this journey has been the ride of a lifetime. We’ve seen trends come and go, survived the "ups and downs" of small business life, and through it all, we’ve grown into a full-service, 7-day-a-week boutique salon.

We are so incredibly grateful for our loyal clients, our talented team, and this amazing Portland neighborhood for supporting us since day one. We aren't just surviving; we are thriving, and it’s all thanks to you.

We’ve weathered every storm and come out stronger. We can't wait to celebrate this milestone with you all month long! 🥂✨
