Best Hair Salons In Portland

“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.“

“I got a full highlight with Kevin today and I am so happy!!! The ambience in the salon is peaceful and full of beautiful plants. I had such an amazing experience. I will certainly be back again. Thank you Kevin for making me feel beautiful again. I truly appreciate your kindness! Easy to find salon with plenty of parking. Bryce was another stylist there who was so kind and knowledgeable as well! Truly so happy with the over all experience. What are you waiting for book with them now!!✨“

“I love this place!! The vibes are so dreamy, and it's location is great too! I make the drive from Eugene to Portland to get my hair cut by Hannah, and every time I leave feeling like I have princess hair. I trust her to help my hair vision come to life because it's clear she's really good at what she does! Also the first time I got my hair cut by her I was asked out on the street by someone afterwards, so there's that LOL. Highly recommend!“

“I visited Chelsea salon while visiting Portland,Oregon. this past Winter. I have been searching for someone that I could relate to for a Bob haircut. I made my appointment with Brianna. She listen intently to my explanation and gave me an excellent Bob haircut. I definitely recommend her if you need someone who knows about cutting hair! She won't disappoint you! She knows what a haircut is all about! Roberta“

“Emily has been my one and only hair stylist for 5 years now! She has done an amazing job of being up for any of my ideas and maintaining my hair health. Emily is always a joy to chat with and adds so much to the atmosphere of the salon. Will continue to be her customer for years to come!“

“I had my first haircut with Travis today, and at last I’ve found the barber of my dreams. As a nonbinary person, it’s been a struggle to find someone who treats me just like I’m any other person when I explain that I want a men’s cut AND give me an absolutely amazing haircut. 11/10 would recommend Travis to anyone of any gender who wants a super sharp gentlemanly cut!“

“Amazing price for amazing quality! This salon provides a relaxing solo experience that was PERFECT for me as someone with sensory sensitivities. The serene atmosphere, the wonderful owner/hair stylist, and the end result of my cut will be bringing me back as soon as I need another trim!“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“Have been getting my men's medium length hair cut here for a couple years and it's always such a pleasant experience. Great touch with the style I want and communication about adjustments, easy to schedule, friendly and a pleasure to visit. Will keep coming back.“

“Kathy is a consummate professional who provides a great haircut at a fair price. I highly recommend BohNel!“

“Jenny has been cutting my hair for a long time. She charges me $20 and I think she should charge more. My hair is very long and thick, her technique can’t be beat! I absolutely love coming to her and drive from Beaverton to see her. No appointments needed and she seriously cuts my hair in 15 minutes! HIGHLY reccomend“

“Sara Sweeten is absolutely AMAZING! Not only is she talented but she is kind and pays so much attention to detail to make sure she gives you an amazing haircut you want. My hair has never been healthier and it grows out beautifully. She cuts your hair to make sure it looks good naturally and styled. If you’re looking for a new hairstylist, Sara is the one! Thank you again, i’ve never loved my hair more! I got my hair cut by her at her previous salon and followed her to Fate. The salon is so cute as well, such a nice space.“

“My daughter and I just got haircuts from Lilly. We are from out of the area, but took a chance when we found her online. Same day appointment was great! She was so nice, and we could tell she was very skilled at what she does, so thorough, but also super efficient! We both have thick, longer than medium length hair and she did an amazing job. Love the budget friendly price too ($20)!!! Wish we could bring her with us!“

“Kristina is the best ! Been going to her for almost 4 years now and love my hair every single time. She truly cares for her clients and knows what she’s doing. Cannot recommend her enough !!!!!“

“It's a very nice place. The staff is friendly, and the haircut is high-quality. I could have had a drink if I wanted. Ask for Victoria; she did an excellent job.“

“She was wonderful! First time getting a facial and she made it a great experience. Will definitely be back!“
