Did you know??? For 13 years, Hair Haven has been helping people in our community look and feel incredible right here in Historic Downtown Gresham. ✂️🤩

From beautiful braids and dreadlocks to maintenance and care, they’ve built a reputation for artistry, skill, and creating a welcoming space for their clients. If you’ve been looking for someone who truly knows their craft, Hair Haven is absolutely worth checking out.

And now… they’re helping local dads level up their hair game!!!!

Hair Haven will be joining us at HDGA’s newest community event, Pints & Ponytails on June 20th at Migration Brewing where they’ll be teaching braid and ponytail basics in a fun, relaxed environment designed for dads, families, and anyone brave enough to stop saying “I tried my best” while handing over a sideways ponytail.

Good drinks. Great people. Better hair skills.

We’re incredibly thankful to have businesses like Hair Haven helping make Downtown Gresham such a connected and creative community.

** These are just a FEW of the awesome places to eat in DT. We've got more recommendations coming!

Historic Downtown Gresham has quietly become a dangerous place to say,
“We’ll just grab something quick.”
One minute you’re craving sushi.
Next thing you know you’re debating pizza vs burgers vs pad thai while someone in the group is already halfway into dessert planning.

From longtime local favorites to hidden gems worth wandering off Main Ave for, Downtown is packed with spots serving up incredible food, friendly faces, and the kind of meals that turn into traditions.

So consider this your sign to stop scrolling and start exploring.

Try somewhere new. Revisit an old favorite. Grab lunch with friends. Pick up dinner after work. Treat yourself to dessert you absolutely didn’t need but fully deserved.

Historic Downtown Gresham is serving more than food right now. It’s serving community.

Grab your friends, bring the family, and come see what’s happening downtown.
