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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“All salons should be run like yello! They have it all: fun vibes, refreshments, a friendly front desk staff. They have cool merch and everything. But the best part was the cut! My stylist, Emily, spoke with me at length about the look and styling of my intended haircut and she really took time with my bangs which is SO IMPORTANT. The cut was fabulous and Emily was so fun and kind. It was just great. I love that I found this spot and that it’s so close to where I live.“

“Amazing for the price. dude can make anyone feel comfy and pampered, then he gives you a good haircut.“

“I go to Taylor Vickers and she is genuinely the best stylist I have ever had. She makes perfect suggestions and listens to everything I want for my hair. I followed her from her last salon because she is one out of a million. I recommend her all the time and she always kills it.“

“EDDIE IS AWESOME and made all of my hair dreams come true! I was a little nervous to make big hair changes before Eddie started doing my hair, but I have so much trust in their artistic vision and I've been thrilled with every cut they've given me! Now I'm excited to try something new every time I get a cut!“

“I LOVE visiting this space! Ruth has been styling and cutting my hair and my family's hair for years. She has a calm and caring presence. I appreciate that silence is an option in her sessions and the physical touch at the shampoo bowl is divine! I look forward to relaxing and taking in the beautiful foliage inside and out every time I come here.“

“Sara is the best hair stylist I’ve ever had for my wavy hair. It’s evident that she genuinely cares about her craft and goes the extra mile to make her clients feel confident and happy with their new cuts. I highly recommend her services!“

“Princess Pepperspray (Nicole) is the best! My hair looks and feels so good. Every time I have a new style in mind she expertly executes it. I will follow her wherever she goes.“

“Love Susie's work she's very professional very thorough. Great job with my color and cut. I got exactly what I wanted!!! New to town and I was looking for a hairdresser and I'm super happy. I would definitely recommend her specially for highlights and I will definitely go back for haircuts and highlights“

“Michelle is incredible! I came in wanting a very basic haircut, and guess what? SHE LISTENED and gave me exactly what I wanted! Seriously, it is so hard to find someone that listens and executes. Plus she gave me a beautiful blow out with waves. Not only is she talented, she is also really fun to hang out with! Look no further, this is your gal!“

“Sara is the best stylist. I've been going to Sara for 20 years. She's great at knowing what looks good.“

“My favorite days are always the days I spend at Wooptido with Jody and her team!
Jody has been making me look like a ‘hair model’ for over 30 years. I have dry, unruly, difficult, huge hair and Jody has taught me how to make my hair more manageable and healthy. I love how she knows me and my hair, so I look forward to every visit! Plus she’s just fun to chat with.

She also cuts my husband’s hair and my adult son. My son has autism and haircuts were so difficult for him his whole life. He started seeing Jody a few years ago and she has garnered my son’s trust. Now he loves seeing Jody and getting his haircut!

Jody is incredibly talented, patient and kind. You’ll leave wondering why you don’t come here ages ago!“

“The owners Tamara and Eric are amazing human beings; so kind, welcoming and down to earth. Tamara has been my stylist since I moved to Portland. I went to Vidal Sassoon in Boston for 15 years and wanted to find a hair salon that was just as good and I found it at Oranj. I always leave so happy with my hair and have such a great time talking with Tamara, the laughs are endless! I highly recommend Oranj for anyone looking for top notch service and results ?“

“Darcy led the charge as I transitioned from colored to my natural grey color. I so appreciated her attention to detail and support during that time. Since then she has continued cut my naturally grey hair in compliment receiving styles. Thanks so much!“

“I'm so glad I found this spot! I have been growing my hair out and needed layers and some shaping. I had two ladies help me- they straighten your hair first and then do the cut. They were able to get me an appointment within a couple days. Very welcoming, clean and quiet shop. The ladies are detailed, ask to see a reference picture, and confirm what you are looking for. Will be back!“

“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.“

“So I had a bunch of different layers of bleach from previous dye styles, and was told I had lost pigment in my hair. I thought it would be almost impossible for me to get my hair to be none blond/orange (bleach that had been washed over and over), but when I walked in and scheduled an appointment for the next day, I got a completely new style that really gave me confidence!“
