Hair salon switches to organic products after doctor’s order
MULTNOMAH – After years of working with hair color, Tamara Marshall, owner of Multnomah’s Fusion Cut and Color Salon, was given a tough choice by her doctor: Stop using chemicals or shut down her salon.
Marshall had become increasingly sensitive to breathing its harsh chemicals. Coupled with the negative effects she had seen on her clients’ skin, Marshall decided it was time for a change and transformed Fusion Cut and Color into an entirely organic salon.
Now not only are Fusion’s customers free of the burning and itching often caused by traditional hair color, they enjoy a salon environment absent of chemical fumes. Because the salon does no perms, relaxers, bleaches or nail services, it should be safe for those with compromised immune systems or allergies, as well as pregnant and nursing mothers.
None of Fusion Cut and Color’s products are tested on animals and most are vegan. One of Marshall’s best finds is the all-nutrient hair color from the United Kingdom: Organic Color Systems, a new pH-balanced product low in PPD (Para-Phenyline Diamine). Marshall claims that it is both safe for her salon’s clients and easy on the environment.
“It’s important for consumers to understand the truth behind what’s on the market and realize they have options,” she said. “At Fusion, everyone can get gorgeous without the guilt.”
Marshall said she does a number of other things to see that her salon is socially conscious. Fusion donates long hair to Locks of Love, an organization that creates wigs for children with cancer. The salon also recycles hair clippings for Matter of Trust, which uses the hair to help clean up oil spills.
For more information call the salon at 503-246-7940 or visit www.fusioncutandcolor.com. Fusion is located at 7870 S.W. Capitol Hwy.
Multnomah Days was Great!
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009We had a great turnout for our Multnomah Days Party!!! The weather was perfect at 72 degrees most of the day and a cloud cover that kept things nice. The parade seemed longer than it had the previous years and the party revelers stuck around to see all the events I think because of the cooler weather.
We were right next to a meat roasting machine which bellowed smoke all day. That was not fun. Especially since we are an Organic salon. I would have to say bad bad to whomever planned that event. So after much antibiotics and rest I am better.
I have posted some great pictures of the event!!! Thanks to all who came out to support small locally owned business.
See ya next year.

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009A Wild Hair
We used to be so daring with our hair. Once we shaved the underside of our head a la Jason Newsted from Metallica, circa 1992. Unfortunately, that cut was later the topic of a documentary starring “real people with really bad hair.”
Nowadays, leaving our hair down is as bold as we get. So to get out of our ponytail rut we decided to go short with the help of Fusion Cut and Color. Multnomah Village’s quaint salon doesn’t scream fancy, but we found it’s the place for us budgetistas to go for A Really Good Hair Cut. And when we say that, we mean A Really Good Hair Cut. Together, mother and daughter team Adrienne and Tamara have more than 20 years of experience in hair design, edging on fun and funky. Let’s just say we felt safe even as huge chunks of our hair fell to the floor.
Thanks to Fusion, our wild hair is back! If anyone wants to make a documentary about people with really great hair, you know where to find us—at Fusion!

Alicia left this on Yelp.com she loves us :) She is our web girl and owns digit13 call her she is wonderful!!
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009I cannot say enough good things about Fusion Cut and Color. The ladies who work there are amazing and fun and always make me feel welcome. I have weird hair — it grows all wonky in the back and no one has ever been able to do anything good with it in my life. When I leave this shop, I feel hot because they make my hair look great!
Adrien cuts my hair and Tamara colors it. They are so skilled at what they do that if I have an idea that will not work for my body/face/skin tone, etc. they will make suggestions on will work for me which I appreciate so much!
Their prices are great and like the other reviewer said, they have free beer and snacks. How can you beat that? (You can’t!) I literally have no allowed anyone other than these ladies to touch my hair since I found them 4 years ago.
