Best Hair Salons In Portland

“Was able to fit me in last minute same day, Gave me the exact haircut I wanted, and was so nice! Can’t wait to come back“

“Kong was amazing! Very friendly and very quick! She was easy to talk to and understood exactly what I wanted and was able to give me suggestions“

“I've been to hair salons all over the country from Seattle to Boston, and I can say, without hesitation, that Heart & Mane not only understands beautiful hair, they also have a deep appreciation for what creates true beauty: nourishment, care, gentleness, safety, comfort, and even pleasure. The moment you walk in the door, you are greeted with a smile, the scent of a soothing candle and an offering to nourish yourself with teas and seltzer. It's truly a sensitive soul's dream! No loud music, no rushing around, no customer pileup or long waits. Instead, the space cultivates a calm, unhurried, peaceful and fun vibe. It's decorated minimally yet stylishly and will inspire you creatively and soulfully in every direction. Working with Lisa, for me, has been a meditation in relaxation as well as beauty. She meets my need for quiet, rest and slowing down during my appointment, while also bringing her kind and friendly energy to every interaction. From attention and care she puts into your wash massage to the way she touches your hair as she dries and styles it, Lisa knows what she is doing on a deep level. Her skill goes far beyond amazing dyes and cuts. She's a master at the more subtle art of creating beauty and nourishment. She will put you at ease and see you out the door feeling your absolute best every time, guaranteed. Best part? There's no salesy pressure to buy this or that product or service. The folks at H&M care about connecting you with the right products for your hair ritual...when you ask. Love this place and I'll recommend it to anyone! ✌️?“

“Awww man, this place right here is amazing. Initially I had reservations, having curly biracial hair is intimidating on the search for a stylist in Maine… but from the moment I walked in and asked for a consultation, Dana was awesome and wasn’t afraid to work on my hair; if anything he was excited.

He made sure to answer any questions or concerns, walked me through each step of the process, and was a blast to work with.

Not only is the environment welcoming, everyone who works there is nothing short of pleasant to be around.

So if you’re like me and a random mixed dude who wants to just do something new and fun with your hair? Go here, it’s awesome. Was not disappointed and will be back.“

“Loved Rachael! She did a relaxing shampoo/head massage, great haircut, and great chats. Can't wait to book a highlight appointment with her in the future!“

“I had such a great experience at Dathan Hunter. I was in town filming for work, and needed a place that could style my hair well, after I'd had a bad haircut elsewhere. Not only did they give me a beautiful blow out and style, they actually fixed my haircut! It was totally beyond my expectations. I would consider visiting Portland much more often just for my hair!“

“Jade is an excellent stylist. I always walk out feeling amazing.

Stylist: Jade listens and always delivers.“

“I stepped into the salon where every detail was meticulously designed to create a serene and luxurious atmosphere. The decor was elegant yet comfortable, with plush chairs and tasteful artwork adorning the walls along with the most welcoming smile. I settled into my chair with Margaret, a skilled stylist who took the time and listened attentively to my hair goals and concerns. After a thorough consultation, Margaret guided me through the process, explaining each step of the haircut with expertise and care. As she worked, I felt confident in her skill and knowledge, knowing my hair was in capable hands. The haircut itself was transformative; precise yet effortless, tailored perfectly to enhance my features and suit my lifestyle. Along the way Margaret treated me to a personalized curly hair tutorial. She educated me on the best products and techniques to enhance my curl pattern, emphasizing hydration, definition, and frizz control. She demonstrated how to apply products correctly, diffuse my hair for volume and bounce, and offered tips for maintaining healthy curls between salon visits. Throughout the experience, the atmosphere remained serene and indulgent, allowing me to relax and enjoy the pampering. By the time I left, I felt revitalized, styled to perfection, and armed with newfound knowledge to care for my curls with confidence. It's not just a haircut and tutorial at Heron Holly with Margaret; it was a rejuvenating journey that left me feeling beautiful, empowered, and ready to conquer the world with fabulous curls!

“I last minute booked an appointment with Jada to get a cut before I start a new job. I didn’t know what I was looking for, but somehow she came up with such an amazing haircut for me. She’s awesome! Would highly recommend Jada and this establishment.“

“You can’t go wrong here! I’ve had my hair done by Ola and Galina and both results were fantastic (wavy/curly medium thick hair). Strongly recommend!“

“Jessica is Super friendly and does a great job with my tricky hair. Also love that she teaches how get that look you want!“

“Kate was gentle and knowledgeable with my curly hair. She wasn't at all afraid of my curls as most salons are, and she knew exactly how to dry cut, and comb through my curls. She also did not push salon products on me, but was honest, encouraging, and so down to earth.“

“Fabulous salon. Michelle gave me a great hair cut. She took the time to educate me on the fine art of blow drying and adding product to my hair. She's an artist stylist. Highly recommend her.“

“I have been a client of DJs for years and cannot say enough wonderful things about her! DJ works magic on my hair every single appointment with her color and cut expertise! She is a true professional, and every time I am in her chair I trust her completely. I have a difficult texture to work with and some stubborn grays, but DJ makes it all look beautiful every appointment. We also share a good amount of laughs and stories! Thank you DJ for consistently going above and beyond to make me love my hair!“

“Such a pleasant experience! Brian is so great at his work in every sense. Highly recommend ... as much for the haircut as for the rich conversation!“

“I've been a regular of Thea's for about 15 years and always get my hair cut and eyebrows waxed there. Even though I don't live in Maine anymore, whenever I'm up here, I make sure to get an appointment with Thea. You just can't beat the prices and meticulous work!“

“My husband says only Cindi is allowed to cut my wavy hair because she’s so good with it! I trust her to do whatever she wants to with it, I look forward to spending time with her in her adorable, sunny salon!“

“Justin is hands-down the best barber in Portland, ME! He's been cutting my hair for the last 2 years or so, and the cut is excellent and consistent every time, and gets me compliments without doubt. Treat yourself and look no further - these guys are the real deal.“

“Tammy is the best!! Tammy treats all of her customers with the upmost respect. And as a bonus, she is funny too.“

“If you want to be able to walk your dog around the block without someone stopping you to complement your hair, this is not the review for you.

But if, like me, you enjoy admiring glances from strangers and having toddlers mistake you for a mermaid, schedule an appointment with Adele. She’s been making my cut and color dreams come true for 2 1/2 years. I’d follow her to the ends of the earth, and I’d do it with my hair looking AMAZING.“

“Veronica is the best! She has been doing my hair for a couple years and is always great with my drastic changes in color and length. The salon is very beautiful and welcoming with a big plus of a dedicated parking lot in the back of the building!“

“Colleen did my hair for my wedding and it was amazing! She was so lovely to work with from our first communications to the trial appointment and finally the wedding day. She made me feel so at ease and did beautiful things with my hair. I danced for three hours straight at my reception and my hair looked exquisite all night long! I can’t recommend her highly enough. I wish I lived in Maine because she would absolutely be my regular stylist!“

“I have been going to Bahman for over 30 years now. He has watched me navigate pixie cuts, long hair, and even a faux-hawk at one point in the early aughts. And every single time, I've left the salon feeling beautiful!“

“I can literally not say enough good things about Beauty by Joniece. I've been going now for a few months and have never been more pleased with my eyebrows. Back in high school I used to get them waxed with the cloth strips and they were wicked painful so I started plucking them myself, overplucked it once and screwed up the shape. Took me years to get them back to normal length and now Joniece has restored my trust in someone waxing them and that my brows can be twin sisters not fraternal cousins . She uses her own special wax and some how afterwards I'm not super puffy and it doesn't hurt. She really is a magician and has created a wonderful day spa/waxing studio. Trust me you must go to Beauty by Joniece.“
