Joni Davenport
Stylist
Our dedicated blonding specialist and lived-in color enthusiast with a special love for curly hair, and a passion for creating neurodivergent friendly experiences.
My chair is a safe haven for everyone, a place where diversity is celebrated, and every unique individual is not just welcomed- but cherished.
Joni is our blonding specialist and lived-in color enthusiast with a passion for bringing out the best in every hair type. She has carved out a special place for curly-haired beauties, focusing not just on creating the perfect cut or color but on embracing and enhancing natural beauty in a way that complements each client’s lifestyle.
Joni’s journey as a stylist is deeply personal. As a proud mom to a wonderful daughter with autism, her experiences have profoundly shaped her approach to her craft. Inclusivity is more than a value for Joni—it’s a commitment. Your story matter, and Joni ensures that every visit is an opportunity to feel understood, seen, and heard, creating a truly personalized and affirming experience.
“I can’t say enough great things about the cuts my daughter and myself got today from Joni and Presley. Thank you all for making my child feel so SEEN, cared for, and valued. There were NO tears and she legit can’t stop grinning and talking about her curls. We are coming to Portland for hair from now on—all the way from Seattle. And while I’m not blessed with my child’s curls, Joni helped me bring my hair back from years of cutting it myself— and I left feeling lighter and ready to move forward. Such a great cut and exactly what I needed to let the dead stuff gooooo. This spot is magic folks. They’re creating rituals, art, and just a fabulous space to connect and be exactly who you are. Thanks for a fabulous afternoon, for my amazing cut, and for making my baby SHINE.” — Taurmini F.
