Salon in Portland OR?

It's time to find a salon that specializes in curly hair. My previous stylist is fabulous, but he keeps wanting to straighten my hair. Granted, I wore my hair that way when I started going to him several years ago, but I've been embracing the curls for the last 6 months. I want a cut specifically for my very long (probably 3A) hair.
I've looked at the curly salon listing, but it appears like most of the stylists have moved on. Who knows someone good AND where they're at right now? Bonus points if they're in NW or downtown!

Thanks!

    Man! I'm in Eugene and I had THE hardest time finding someone who didn't want to use a razor or straighten my hair. I'm currently working with a Ouidad stylist right now, which is great since my hair is 3A and THICK as can be.

    Have you looked into Ouidad? People also really like Deva cuts, as well!

    Ouidad is only good if you have thick hair. However you may be able to find a Ouidad stylist who will adapt the cut for your hair.

    That's a super good point @multicultcurly! Ouidad cuts are GREAT for thick hair, not so great if your hair isn't super thick (or at least that's what I've heard people say).
    2C/3A; very, very thick fine to medium hair; low porosity.

    Current Products:
    Co-Wash: As I Am Cleansing Co-Wash
    Conditioner: Shea Moisture Tahitian Masque, Aubrey Organics GPB, Shea Moisture
