Best Hair Salons In Portland

“Best haircut I’ve had in a long time! Yesterday I was visiting friends in Portland. On a whim I stepped in to Andiamo. I described what I wanted and Noelle worked her magic. Perfectly shaped bob, just as I like it.“

“The Raven Salon is a wonderful salon located in the heart of the Old Port! I have been having my hair cut(and colored, but sshh, don’t tell anyone!) for over twenty years. Always professional and easy to schedule. All the stylists there are friendly and professional and create a warm welcoming atmosphere.“

“I’ve been going to Hygge Hair studio for a few years now, and it’s always so amazing. Love my hair every single time. Consistent, pleasant, always the best experience. Thank you, Jade!“

“As a Chinese-American bride, it was important for me to have an Asian HMU artist who understood how to work with my skin and hair. And as someone who doesn't wear makeup often, I wanted to look like and feel like myself on my wedding day so it was important for me to have a HMU artist who can achieve that.

Kong was the perfect HMU artist, going above and beyond. She truly listened to what I wanted, while still providing her professional expertise (which is what I needed as someone who is indecisive and inexperienced). By the end of my trial, I knew I had picked the right person and felt complete confidence in her work. On my wedding day, I looked and felt both beautiful and myself. And my bridal party looked just as good.

However, beyond just doing a great job on our hair and makeup, what I appreciated most is the energy that Kong brought. She is hilarious, honest and fun. She took the time to connect with me and I felt not only trust in her as a HMU artist, but as a person.

In my opinion, wedding planning can be stressful and overwhelming, so surrounding yourself with good, supportive people throughout the process / on the day of can really make a difference. I'm so grateful I got to have Kong on my team.“

“Rachael was so wonderful! This is the best haircut I have ever had, she really listened to what I was looking for and was also so kind. Had so much fun with her!“

“Sheila is a curly hair wizard✨ She absolutely transformed my hair from dry & brittle to natural curls with volume. Super knowledgeable as well :)“

“The quality of the service is outstanding, but what truly makes this salon special is the quality of the people. Justin and Jess are talented, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely care about making you feel comfortable and confident. You can tell they take pride in their work and in the relationships they build with their clients. I have been a customer for many years and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended!“

“Marissa is the best and she’s super kind and gentle! The salon is definitely worth going to! Will be going again and again. Thanks Marissa!!“

“It's really amazing that after a decade, I finally found a hair stylist I feel comfortable with. Claire is fantastic“

“First name Hannah, last name Roop. She's excellent! Kind! Easy to talk to! Warm! And her skills with them scissors are unmatched!! She made my bday haircut special and I've never looked sexier in my life.“

“Best. Haircut. Ever. Margaret's skills are outstanding; she truly listens. Many thanks!“

“Awesome experience! I found the salon after I received a haircut at a different salon which I very much didn't like. I was worried because it was shorter than I liked so I wasn't sure how much Ari could do, but she was amazing! Not only did she save it but I actually love it, like something I would have asked for! She is also super friendly and personable, all in all amazing experience! I booked my next appointment with her right away :)“

“I booked with Alex for a cut and full highlights and I was absolutely delighted with the results. The color came out perfect! 5 stars!“

“Weetie is top-notch! She listened to me carefully and made me feel comfortable. I recommend her for curly hair dudes! I finally found my stylist in Portland!“

“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!“

“Just 5 star in all aspects!
Service, attention, attitude, skill of craft ????????“

“I finally found the right salon for me after searching for a few years after moving back to Maine. The space was relaxing, calm and quiet. Lisa was incredible, she was a delight to be around, and had suggestions on products as well as helping create a plan to achieve my dream hair. She color corrected the mess I came in with, without making a single negative remark about it, and brought me back to feeling confident about my hair. Because of course, it now looks AMAZING. Thank you!“

“Thuy is a wonderful hairdresser! She knows what a client wants and delivers! I could not be happier with my color and cut. And Thuy is so nice and very easy to talk with. ?“

“Michelle is a magician. Best stylist I have ever had! My hair has never looked better! Enjoy my shampoos immensely and our conversation!“

“Great space and clean place, stylist Donna Jean is amazing with color! They validate parking in the next door lot to reduce the cost of parking, you still pay some, but not all, which is very nice! It makes getting your hair done in Portland as convenient as going somewhere that has their own parking lot. And, I love my hair!“

“Love the haircut I got from Mel! Very good experience, I’m autistic and usually avoid getting haircuts because I’m semi nonverbal but I felt very comfortable at their studio:)“

“Great place to go if you need any beauty supplies, and some! Friendly and helpful staff.“

“This was such a good experience. Shampoo smells so good. Haircut was great. Bangs look great. Blow dry and styling were both wonderful! I would come here again. Amazing job.

They gave me a recommendation to take my kid to a farm and eat ice cream at Smiling Hill. My child and I had the best day ever.

Thank you!“

“I've seen Kari twice now, and had i planned better, i could (and would have) made sure to schedule her for my wedding styling + makeup. My hair has been damaged since 2017 and she's brought it to life over the last two visits (6+ months apart). She was able to take my inspo (ai generated at first, then pinterest second time) in mind as well as explaining what would work and wouldn't with my texture, length and goals. I left the salon looking like Kate Middleton and seriously felt like i was on top of the world. I did not take any pictures, but please believe me i looked FIRE. Also, she gave me recommendations for makeup products since i was going to do my own makeup for my wedding, and every rec hit SO GOOD. If Kari ever leaves this practice, i may consider moving to follow her because she's transformed me into the best version of myself.“
