Your texture is unique and you deserve a cut that is customized to your particular curls and face shape. At Gilded Fox we know how to take care of your curls, from wavy to coily, and teach you to do the same at home giving you defined frizz free curls with an incredible shape. We cut curls dry, in their natural state, using our expertise and intuition to navigate leading curly cutting techniques to find the exact right blend for your specific hair type. Essentially we believe in shaping curls like a bonsai tree, sculpting each head of curls specifically to the wearer.

Arrive Ready:

To prep for your curly cut or color service please come in wearing first or second day curls with minimal product, down, dry, detangled, and naturally curly with no pins, clips, or rubber bands so your stylist can see your true natural curl pattern. Expect to spend about 2-3 hours at the salon on your first visit for a curly cut, up to double that if you’re getting color. It’s a time commitment your curls will thank you for!

Andrea Neal-Thiesen

Andrea Neal-Thiesen
(she, her)

Andrea, a second generation stylist since 2002, found her passion working on natural curls in 2008 as a stylist at Capella Salon in Los Angeles, named one of the top 10 salons in LA. Learning to properly shape, hydrate, and style curls was an eye opener and career changer giving Andrea a deeper level of fulfillment as these appointments can literally be life changing for guests. She left her celebrity clientele behind for the beauty of Portland to start a family and her own boutique salon specifically for wavy, curly, and coily clients as a safe space to embrace their natural hair.

Andrea believes the best curls are healthy curls; created by giving a great haircut suited to the client's curl pattern and face shape in tandem with using the right Innersense products properly applied, she is passionate about teaching her clients to replicate their salon perfect curls at home. Andrea believes in education, she has advanced curl certifications including Rezo Level 1, Deva Curl Level 3, as well as Curly Hair Artistry, Vidal Sassoon classic cutting course, and is Advanced Business of Balayage trained. She is currently unavailable to see new clients due to educating our up and coming stylists.

Russell Costales
(he, him)
Russell readily combines grit with sophistication after having spent years honing his craft in the trenches of the New York salon world. He perfected coloring techniques with A‐list clientele at Salon Privé; at SoHo’s famed Mudhoney Salon he learned to adapt edgy looks for the Rock’n’Roll set; and at Edris Salon he polished his skills blending an uptown aesthetic with natural hair cutting and styling techniques.

Russell’s passion for natural curls brought him to Gilded Fox in 2017 to train with Andrea and has since gained advanced curl certifications including Rezo Level 1, Deva Curl Level 3 Certification as well as Curly Hair Artistry in addition to his solid background in cutting through Warren Tricomi training. Russell is currently unable to take new clients.

Correia Rouse
(she, her)
Born and raised in Portland, OR Correia’s love for natural curly hair blossomed in 2012 after making the big chop on her own tight curls, cutting off all of her previously relaxed ends leaving only the healthy new natural hair attached. Disappointed by the lack of hair products and knowledge toward curls and coils she was inspired to seek hair education beginning her journey into cosmetology. Correia found Gilded Fox right out of school and has been through our 2 year one-on-one training program, is a Cut It Kinky Alumn, and Rezo Level 1 Certified.

Correia is currently our Artist Level stylist at Gilded Fox, a freelance hair and makeup artist, and Innersense Organic Beauty Educator. She has been lead hair on Nike and Pendleton shoots and is determined to pave her own way as a freelance curl specialist on set.

Marci Castillo
(she, they)
Marci, our Creator Level stylist, has been cutting hair 20+ years with an emphasis on education. She has worked with Bumble and Bumble, Kevin Murphy, Davines and, currently, Innersense Organic Beauty. Marci is part of the Artistic Director Team for Innersense, serving as a consultant for curriculum development and presentation skills. Marci’s training began with Vidal Sassoon precision cutting and expanded into razor cutting with extensive training through Bumble and Bumble. Curly cutting has always been a passion for Marci, so moving to Gilded Fox in 2021, where curls are the focus, has been a dream come true.

Mallory Vorhees
(she, her)
Mallory brings over 15 years of experience as a stylist with an emphasis on curls and perms. She has worn many different hats (and hair styles) in the hair world, being a trainer, educator, and artistic director, all while working behind the chair and honing her craft. She spent her formative years in Milwaukee, WI, before taking her talents to Nashville where she dedicated herself to organic, non-toxic beauty. Now in Portland, educating for her favorite non-toxic beauty company Innersense Organic Beauty, she is thrilled to also be apart of the talented group of stylists at Gilded Fox.

With a passion for intuitive hair styling, Mallory listens to your hair and lets it tell us what it is going to do. She loves creating and shaping wavy and curly hair, and while her specialty may be perms, she still loves color! It brings her joy helping educate you on what to do with your hair and how to effortlessly style it, and also educating people on the benefits of non-toxic beauty by helping them discover simple products and routines for their hair/lifestyle.
