Best Hair Salons In Portland

“Liv is great. I've had my hair (long curly hair, 2c-3a curly type) cut three times by them and I have my next cut already scheduled for next year. Def recommend“

“TLDR; Alex is AMAZING. Recently I went to a popular local salon that's primarily known for its fun fashion colors. That might have been a mistake. After asking for a beige balayage with a shadow root and grey coverage (and showing a picture of what I wanted), I ended up with muddy brown hair with dark grey streaks. I got home (crying) and with many washes managed to get the grey toner out, leaving me with dense streaky orange highlights all over. I started looking for someplace trustworthy to fix my color. After seeing Salon Beck's reviews, I called, and was lucky enough to quickly get an appointment with Alex. Somehow she managed to fix my nightmare stripey hair, and turn it into the lived-in beige balayage I'd wanted from the beginning. If you're looking for that easy, stylish, and better than natural look, I cannot recommend Alex more. I'll absolutely be going back to her in the future. Regarding the location - the salon is classically elegant, and has the most comfortable shampoo chairs I've experienced. As far as accessibility, I'm a size 22, and was able to sit comfortably in both the cutting chair and the shampooing chair.“

“Vicky is a gem! I got paired with her for my wedding and am so happy with how everything turned out. She did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup and my mom’s and sisters’ as well, taking the time to listen and get to know me and also offering a lot of helpful advice when I wasn’t quite sure of the look I wanted to go for. Vicky is also incredibly detail oriented and brought loads of makeup and hair products (up three flights of stairs in our Vrbo!!) to make sure she was creating the perfect look for each girl. And all of her products smelled amazing! Beyond that, she was the perfect presence for the morning of the wedding. She helped me calm down when I was feeling stressed and really helped me get in the “it’s my wedding day!” mood. She really made the day so fun, and I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup! It stayed strong all night long! Truly so happy to have worked with Vicky <3“

“She was incredibly skilled and SO affordable. I think I’ve finally found my hairdresser. She only charged $32 for a shampoo, cut, style, and blow dry. Plus she even gave me a few of her handmade egg rolls, which are delicious.“

“Bryce, the owner-stylist, is an expert, and yet still makes the experience collaborative. He listens, makes recommendations, and sets reasonable expectations which he then completely exceeds! I come in for cut & color and the results last longer than any other salon I’ve visited. I highly recommend Bryce and EBC.“

“Tori is wonderful! My hair was not the best when I came in the first time and she’s been like my fairy godmother!“

“She is great. We did a Bachelorette celebration group. She was super quick and efficient. Did great henna and was very friendly. The studio is so nice and we recorded some social media videos there. 100%recommend.“

“Best barber shop in town, hands down. I’ve been to pretty much every barbershop in the Portland area and this is by far the best one. The folks working here are top notch and amazing barbers. Victoria is a professional at her craft and this place is worth every penny.“

“Moe is absolutely the best curly hair specialist! Before my first hair cut with Moe, my hair was in bad shape. I had not gotten a hair cut in years and it wasn’t growing. Since the moment I met her, I knew I was in the right place. She listened to my concerns, was gentle with my hair, and did exactly what she said she was going to do. After the first cut, my hair slowly started growing. I couldn’t believe it. She really has “buena mano” like they say in Mexico. I continued to return for my scheduled cuts and my hair is the healthiest it has been in a long time. I also love the highlights she did and I wish I had not moved out of state so I could continue to go back. Nevertheless, I’m so grateful that I found her when I did. She’s amazing!“

“Jeff was awesome!! I got an amazing new haircut and beautiful highlights! First time being there, and Jeff was highly knowledgeable about hairstyles best for me, and is highly trained in color. Jeff and Karen are very nice, and the atmosphere was great! I definitely recommend going in there if you are looking for an exceptional salon.“

“I love Kimmy and the whole salon. I’ve been going for years and I love every cut and color. And the salon is so cute and quirky. And vegan and queer friendly! Highly recommend!“

“Such a friendly environment! Clean and easy access to it. My stylist was so kind and professional.“

“The haircut turned out great, and its reasonably priced, definitely wanting to come back here and get my own hair done“

“Lizz is amazing and so is my hair!! She was so efficient and effective in her job. I also loved chatting with her. She is funny, friendly, and cool. What a serendipitous choice for keratin in Portland!“

“Riley is absolutely amazing and always takes great care of my extra thick hair. She is a wonder with layering and color!“

“From the moment I walked in, I felt totally welcomed and at ease. The space is beautiful—clean, stylish, and cozy without feeling overdone. The entire team is warm, professional, and genuinely cares about making sure you leave feeling your best.

HK really listened to what I wanted, offered thoughtful suggestions, and nailed the cut beyond my expectations. They clearly know their stuff and take pride in their craft. The products they use are top quality, and I appreciated how they explained everything without pushing any sales.

It’s rare to find a place that combines talent, kindness, and a down-to-earth vibe, but Hometown Hair Lounge has it all. I alway walk out feeling like a million bucks. Thanks y’all!“

“Summer trimmed my hair for me today. She did a great job and was efficient. Plus, so fun to chat with!! I found my new hair stylist?“

“I go every month or so mostly to just shape and trim. I had Auriel today and she was awesome, super friendly and great person. I love this place. I do recommend going pretty frequently if you have a certain look you go for. Tends to look better going once a month and having that shape than going every few months once things get unruly. I've never had a bad haircut at this location in the like 3-4 years I've been going steady.“

“Samantha Ann is the best!!! I got an appointment with her by chance 3 or 4 years ago and she has been by my side ever since. She suggested that I try extensions because my hair is so thin and it would take minimal hair. It has completely transformed me and given me so much more confidence! People are shocked that my hair is not all mine. Highly recommend trusting Samantha Ann with your hair dreams! Below is a before and after my extensions.“

“I was so incredibly lucky to happen to call this salon when ai needed next day services. I was able to schedule with Jeffrey, the owner,who is an absolute master at blonde color. I got the total jackpot finding this salon and won’t go anywhere else when I’m back in Portland“

“I have been with Heather for well over a decade. She is amazing! Love the way my hair looks each time I leave the salon. She is also very knowledgeable, explaining which products are best for my hair type and why. Always a wonderful experience! Highly recommend.“

“Kathy is wonderful - professionally and personally! My husband was fortunate to discover her salon, Bohnel, when we were visiting family in Lake Oswego. Kathy gave him the best haircut ever, and now he always comes up from California to have her cut his hair! Kathy is an excellent stylist and offered great suggestions for my own cut and color! And, she is a lovely person - always doing something generous for others! Thank you, Kathy!“

“This is a review for the Sinan at Glow Boutique Salon, along with a photo of my hair one month post curly extension installation—it’s still looking fantastic!

Three weeks before my wedding, at 51 years old, I put all my faith into Sinan and the team. I had a vision for dramatic length on my big day. With normal hormonal hair loss and needing grey coverage every five weeks, I had been feeling insecure about my hair.

From my first consultation with Sinan, I immediately felt confident in his skills. Terasina at the salon permed the extensions beautifully, and I was amazed at how perfectly they matched my natural curl pattern.

The entire experience exceeded my expectations. Not only do I now have long, gorgeous curls, but Sinan also gave me a smooth, stunning blowout the day before my wedding.

It’s incredible how a hair transformation can help you feel more like yourself. I couldn’t be happier with the results, and I give Sinan my highest recommendation—100%!“

“Casey is absolutely wonderful to work with, this was my first haircut at a salon and he was spectacular with helping me figure out exactly what style I was looking for. He’s got major skills and is an amazing artist. On top of that, the communication about service, styles, and types of cuts that Albert provided prior to the appointment was an unexpected surprise. I felt incredibly cared for, heard, and will be coming back for my next cut as well as recommending Coda to anyone and everyone. Thank you all so much!“
