Even though I'm a fairly new client, after 3 visits I know I'm in the right place! I was in yesterday for my monthly haircut with Lindsay, and would like to let you know that after YEARS of searching for someone who could give me the "right" haircut I was lucky enough to find Lindsay. The cut is perfect, the gray is gone, and my husband doesn't dread the results of "salon days!" Lindsay is outstanding!

Jack Sanders and his wife Chris own Technical Artistry, a great Salon/Spa in Salem that I would highly recommend! The name Technical Artistry really suits the salon...They give a highly technical, artistic haircut that works with everyday life and they are artists with color as well. I have had the very best cuts /color there as well as great facials, manicures, pedicures and massage therapy. Anyone wanting to be pampered yet leave with a great haircut or other service...then you have found your spot. The minute you walk in you know you are somewhere special. I get compliments all of the time and they have my most sincere recommendation!

Coming to Technical Artistry is worth the trip! I fly up from San Francisco for my color and cut frequently. I appreciate the innovative designs of each haircut. I am often able to go much longer between cuts because of the advanced techniques used. I have never been disappointed.


— Mary, from San Francisco



Dear Technical Artistry Team,

WOW--what an experience! Your Team is unbelievable in providing a warm, upbeat, friendly environment. I take full advantage of all the opportunities available at your full-service salon--color (even my eyebrows), upbeat hair styles, massage, facial and nails. I think my favorite service is the shiatsu head massage at the end of a shampoo!


— Thank you!

I wanted to write and thank all of you at Technical Artistry for helping to make my sister's wedding day a bit more special. All the stylists were absolutely wonderful and you made us all feel so welcome even though we were there on your day off. Everyone's hair was beautiful and my mom and sister's make-up was fantastic. My mom was so stressed about the wedding and you gave her a moment of relaxation and made her feel as beautiful as she always has been. We were so happy that we went to your salon - you surpassed any and all expectations. Your salon was the start of a perfect day. We have been telling everyone about the salon and your great service.

Just wanted to let you know that I love my haircut. You were right: I have been going to the wrong hairdresser for way too long. The products you and your team recommended work perfectly with my style. Your wife and staff are great. I am so glad I discovered your salon. Thanks again and I will see you at my next appointment.


— Janet



Thank you so much for squeezing me in today especially at the exact time I requested. As you know I'm a spoiled salon girl but I'm also very aware of what it takes to accommodate a guest. As I told Kris briefly, I was torn between searching for a new Portland salon, or begging for your indulgence. Alas my selfish nature prevailed and I called you. So an extra special thank you to your entire team at Technical Artistry for rising to the occasion with buckets of colour, pounds of foils, and fresh ideas with make-up and skin care. You've made my day and week and month, thank you.


— April Christian



Thank you Jack !

Well I'm at work today and my hair looks totally fantastic - I feel 15 years younger and look at least 10. I'm getting lots of compliments! I really love it and am so glad to have finally found a "home" for my styling needs.

One gal in our office asked me to ask you how comfortable you are with very curly hair - she has had so many bad cuts that she has stopped trying and just piles it up in a clip. She loves mine (and Paulas and Julie B's) and wants to come on over but is hesitant because of history - seems to think curly hair is almost impossible to do and do well. I told her I would ask but I have confidence that you are up for it!

Let me know if you have any reassuring words for her - again, thanks for my amazing hair


— Chris D



Jack, Kris & Team I don't know where to begin, so I'm just goona go for it! Saturday, Aug. 6th we came to your salon, a tad bit jittery not sure if our communications were to much, had we been to pushy, however we knew what we wanted, and we knew you were the salon to make it happen. And you did! OH how you did!!! Kate was radiant from head to toe! Absolutely beautiful, and her mom was pretty HOT too! All the ladies looked fantastic! Thank you-Thank you! You're amazing!


— Kate Mouery & Donna Carlson



Looking for a top stylist to manage my hair and design a suitable haircut for me, I had a wonderful experience at the hands of styling expert, Jack R. Sanders who used an entirely new technique resulting in a fabulous haircu


— Barbara Kantzabedian



Thank you for keeping my hair looking so great. I really appreciate that you took so much time and concern to listen to me when I told you that I had such a difficult time with my hair the last time I had it cut.

You really made it all better! You and Chris and your staff are super and very customer oriented. I love the journey and the destination!

Hello Jack and Chris, Since we moved to Pasadena, I've told many people that I miss them...parents, friends, etc. But, believe me when I tell you, I MISS YOU! The salon experiences I've had so far (for my kids only...I haven't even had the courage yet to sit in "the chair"...what a coward) have just not been the same as those I experienced at Technical Artistry. I didn't realize my level of vanity and snobbery I possessed until I was faced with the possibility of not receiving the same atmosphere and quality somewhere else as I did at your salon. :) Well, revelations are always good opportunities to grow, stretching is a good process, I Will Survive (break into song at this point...), and other melodramatic exclamations ad nauseum. Seriously, salon experiences at Technical Artistry have always been a treat in my week. Your business is in my prayers for continued abundance of creativity, clients and influence.

Chris, thank you so much for the beautiful bag of products. I have enjoyed them so much. That was very generous and kind of you, and I appreciate your thoughtfulness greatly. You are a sweetie!

I hope you have had a lovely summer and enjoyed some major R&R. I have to say, the beaches here are awesome, and are a consoling factor when missing faces from Oregon. Visit us if you're ever in Pasadena!

Blessings to you and yours,


— Vangi



I was delighted to see your beautful place of work. It is a warm, inviting and truly a job well done. Thanks again for treating me to the fabulous facial. It was heavenly! It was my first facial. Oh my and it won’t be my last. Thanks again and I will see you soon.


— Jill



Hi Jack, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you doing my hair this weekend! Being in your salon was really relaxing, and just what I needed. Everytime I have come to Technical Artistry I feel like I step out of Salem and into a Salon or Spa that would be in LA or New York. I love how I feel when I leave, and I know that others notice- I could'nt even get a block away from the Salon before someone commented on how great my hair looked! Of course I handed her a card and told her what a great experience I had just had!

You and your staff have made me a lifetime customer! I've floated all over, from hair dresser to hair dresser, and they were fine, but when I come to Technical Artistry its not just going to see a hair dresser-- it's escaping from my crazy life! I love my hair, and can't wait till my next appointment! Thank you so much!

For years I was too afraid to get my hair cut because of several bad experiences in different salons. I ended up cutting my own hair for years, and not very well, I might add. I always wished I could get a hair makeover but didn't trust anyone enough to ask for one. Then two years ago my sister-in-law told me about Technical Artistry and how women come out of there with new hairstyle, color and makeup looking better than they ever had. I made my appointment immediately and got the best haircut of my life! and I only had to travel from Denver, CO. Needless to say, I haven't gone to anyone else since. I love the consistently impeccable service and outstanding professionalism that results in a great style. Thanks to Jack and the Technical Artistry Team, I look and feel my best!" Recently I did have to relocate to Oregon, flying every month got a little over my budget.
