I have been getting my hair done with Brianne for 5 years. Whether it's a cut or color, bold or subtle, she always executes my vision and takes the time to make sure the color is just right. I really enjoy my time in the chair with Brianne and it's an added perk that Chelsea has a wide array of Kevin Murphy products to take home. read more

CHELSEA salon - Cherry cola November 2023 - Hair Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I learned about Courtney through a mutual friend / my old stylist in SF. She came highly recommended so I thought I'd give her services a try. Courtney did not disappoint! She needed to correct the sorry excuse of a cut and color I had received from a prior service in the Portland area. The cut before was clearly uneven and the color was all over the place. Courtney corrected the color and cut effortlessly. I was very happy with her transparency, communication, and talents and would highly recommend her to friends and family. read more

Courtney K is a hair coloring genius! She listened to what I wanted and delivered amazing results. 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 read more

After parting ways with my former stylist, and a little research, I went with Austin K at Chelsea about 3 years ago. And seriously, I am so glad that I did! I have actually been trying to grow my hair out for 13 years (it grows terribly slow), and because of time spent in their chair and darling Austin's careful consideration, I think my wish is actually becoming a reality! They always have great suggestions for products but only if I ask, which is so nice. The salon is very relaxing and cute! And they sell kevin.murphy products which if you haven't tried, people, let me tell you, you are missing out! Never have I been so consistently impressed with a salon experience. Anyone would be lucky to work with Austin to achieve their hair goals! read more

Shawna turned me into a mermaid princess. Not many stylists can cut wavy/ curly hair to maximize its body and potential. Most will just give you a straight girl's haircut and you will have to mess with it to get it to comply. I'm low maintenance. I want to wake up with my hair looking good already. No styling, no brushing. She took a ridiculous amount of time with me. She asked me what I wanted to improve and if I wanted any education on certain products. Not pushy, very knowledgeable. I woke up after last night's shower with my waves coming in full force. She recommended that I put in product in the shower before I towel dry. It worked. Her decade plus of experience shows in the result. And she is a badass. I will be coming back and telling my friends to go to her. read more

I was in and out with Courtney in about 10 minutes since they weren't doing washes/blow drying. Super quick, easy and great cut. Thanks again Courtney! read more

CHELSEA salon - A little before and after action - Hair Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Highly recommend! HIGHLY recommend seeing Courtney for your hair needs. I used to work for her in San Francisco. I will never forget the first cut she gave me. I was hooked! I moved to Portland before she ended up moving here, and when I found out she moved to town, I knew I had to see her for my hair needs. I no longer cut hair at a salon, and I must say, being a previous hair stylist, I have been picky about my hair. She is incredibly talented and I am so happy we are back in the same city! read more

Amyrose did a FABULOUS cut on my curly hair. I booked the diva curl cut after my last stylist did a number on my hair. Amyrose took her time, cutting each and every curl, slowing reshaping my hair. She kept the length while adding volume which I really appreciated. She also shared her knowledge about new product options for my hair type. She is wonderful, friendly, and very good with curly hair. Would give her ten stars if I could! read more

CHELSEA salon - Curls! - Hair Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The folks at Chelsea are AMAZING! Courtney has been cutting/coloring my hair for little over a year now and I'm so lucky to have her! I can show her a photo of what I'm wanting and she'll tell me (honestly) how that look can translate, keeping in mind how it will affect the health of my hair and how intensive upkeep will be. They're always doing awesome, funky styles and put a lot of effort in to create a fun and inclusive environment. Love them! read more

I have finally found a hair stylist and colorist in Brianna! I have curly hair and have been having a tough time finding someone I like to cut and color my hair for a few years now. FINALLY I found Brianna at Chelsea salon. She listened and did exactly what I asked. I love this cut and color. A month in it is getting better and better and growing out great. To me that is the mark of a really good cut. If it still looks cute growing out. It is not easy to cut my hair and she did it perfectly. Perfect shape and texture. Thank you Brianna, I am so grateful to love my hair! read more

Got my hair cut here for more than 4 years while I was living in Portland. Sara is the actual best! Great instincts on how to give my VERY fine hair some volume, and she had an amazing memory. I always had a great time connecting with her as she freshened me up. The salon is beautiful too, and the products are great. I've moved away but will miss this place. read more

Brianne has over 20 years of experience and is originally from San Diego. She is a down to earth chick who is really skilled in what she does. I went to 2 different stylists before her, showing pictures and asking for a "shaggy cut" with bangs that were thicker so they laid right and framed my face the right way since I have a rounder face, and no one cut my bangs the way I asked. After being referred to Brianne, I decided to take a chance at another stylist but I was starting to give up hope... that is until she quite literally blew my mind and expectations out of the water. I knew my long thick hair needed more time and she didn't rush through my cut even though we went over our time. She was extremely thorough and I get stopped pretty much everyday for the last two months and people comment,"Wow I love your cut and your bangs" "Where do you get your haircut?" "You're making me want bangs" "I think I can pull off bangs because of how great they look on you" "I'm going to ask for your cut next time I go for a new style." Can't say thank you enough for restoring my faith in a good haircut and helping me feel effortlessly confident everyday! read more

I am so beyond happy with the service I get from Jen Utley. I have gone to various hairstylists and she by far is the best I have ever gone to. She really listens to what you want; not to mention my hair always looks perfect right after it's cut and I don't feel like my hair needs to grow out for a few weeks to look natural again. As someone with long, natural hair, this place is a great balance of competitive pricing and excellent service. I feel like it's very hard in the Portland area to find a place that will service a regular haircut (at a reasonable price) though they also have great options for coloring as well! The online booking system is so easy and allows you to see everything available. I would highly recommend Chelsea Salon to anyone looking for a new stylist, and Jen Utley in particular! read more

I've been going to the Chelsea Salon since I moved to Portland in 2013 (pretty much 5 years) and getting my hair cut by Emily Harmon. She's THE BEST! She's not only patient and caring, but always reads my mind when it comes to cut and color. It's almost scary how good she is. I've never left there without getting a compliment on my hair from another upcoming client waiting or someone down the street while I'm walking back to my place. Lucky to have had such an AMAZING stylist. read more

CHELSEA salon - Cut and color - Hair Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This is the fourth or fifth salon I've followed Courtney to in the last 12 years or so because SHE IS JUST THAT GOOD. Seriously, check my other reviews. Thank the heavens she moved to Portland - I live in Bend now, and will travel the 3.5 hours for her. She gives me exactly what I want, I always am complimented on my hair (even by other hair dressers!), and I just can't put into words that adequately describe how amazing she is. Don't sleep on this Portlandia, before you know it would won't be able to get an appointment because she WILL book up! read more

I have scheduled a haircut for my birthday. The day before the stylist asked if we could change the day. I agreed and then the day of the cut she asked if she could change the time because she was running behind. This was my first time coming into the salon and it's very stressful when the stylus keeps changing the appointment. I tried to make another appointment a month ago but when I looked at the results of the curly girl diva cut, I just decided that this place is definitely not for me read more

I have a lot to say about this place. As a male going into a salon is a pretty scary feeling. Not a barber shop feel at all. The vibes are elegant and the workers are skilled and obviously care about what they do. I've had my hair cut by shauna and Hannah and both have exceeded their expectations. I've never felt unwelcome or unwanted and the feel for the salon is amazing! I will be coming back here as long as I'm in the Portland area. Lots of love To this place and the talented people who work here! read more

I've been going to Misti since I moved to Vancouver WA. I lucked out having her do my hair. I moved here from San Diego CA and was so sad to leave my old stylist. We all know how hard it is to find a good stylist. If you're looking for a new hair stylist Misti' the one. You're always on point Misti! Thank you so much! read more

I have been a client of Shauna Faye's since 2014, so after last night when she gave me my favorite cut and style yet, I'd say it's about time I get my act together and write her a review. In the course of these years, she has taken my hair from long to short, blunt to textured. I trust her with everything from basic haircuts to crazy color and extensions. When I developed a medical issue where my hair stopped growing on part of my head, she came up with innovative solutions to work around it. What I'm saying is she's a versatile, creative, and very talented stylist. On top of that, she's an amazing person and an actual rock star, and you should definitely go see her if you want to look your best. read more

Very happy to have Courtney in our town and cutting hair at a great shop like Chelsea. Girl knows how to hair!

I have been a customer of Chelsea since the day they opened and have always been 100% happy. I have referred many people here who continue to be customers as well. It's a non-pretentious welcoming environment. I highly recommend you give them a try if you are new to town or just looking for a new spot to get your hair did right. read more

This salon is great. Very clean, open, airy, and has great lighting. They also have complimentary tea and coffee. It feels very comfortable in there without feeling too sterile. They use amazing, high quality products and their Kevin Murphy shampoos smell like heaven! I've been seeing Jenaya for 3+ years but she just moved to this salon. Jenaya is excellent when it comes to all things hair. Short hair, long hair, curly hair, fine hair, pin-straight hair. She's turned me blonde, ombre, pink, purple, dark brown, light brown, and every cut in between from short to long to layered. She's a hair magician! She's excellent with fashion colors so if you want something fun, definitely go to her. She's also really personable, funny, patient, honest, kind, and a perfectionist through and through. She will listen to you and work with you. Her prices are reasonable and she will beautify you to no end! :) read more

CHELSEA Salon Rocks! As an admitted salon hopper it is unusual for me to declare that I feel like I have found my forever home. I have had phenomenal cuts and colors from both Emily and Sarah Rosing making it an added bonus that the entire team is very welcoming and fun to be around. I have straight hair that I never do anything with and the cuts I have been getting make my hair look like it has volume and movement without me having to style it! Thanks CHELSEA, I highly recommend this shop! read more

I have seen Jenaya a few times and she is just the best. You can just tell that she is a expert at what she does not to mention just so sweet. I have curly hair and although she doesn't have curls she gets curls-knows exactly what to do with them. Chelsea salon is a very nice salon too. It's comfortable and conveniently to get to. read more

How to be cool: have Ash do your hair. In addition to being kind, warm-hearted, funny, professional, intelligent, thoughtful, interested, did I say funny, and hard-working, she is a H A I R W I Z A R D. People, we are talking magic. I haven't had a cut or color that elevated my look like this before. Like I'm actually a just a cooler person now. And my hair is gorgeous. COLOR: Perfect balayage. To look natural and yet noticeable. A nuance that takes a lot of skill to achieve. Ash is very professional and clearly knows a lot about color. She seems to enjoy the science, something I don't see often in a color specialist. In my very first visit I noticed she cares about preserving the integrity of your hair besides achieving the best result. Her knowledge of the chemical process and her ability to create the perfect results make her a mad scientist! I've had a lot of color done. I've had mediocre stylists and I've had great stylists. I never knew that there was a higher level of beautiful work and color that could be attained. CUT: I was impressed with her Instagram originally and was excited to have her give me a simple *seemlingly* straightforward-normal haircut but that was this kind of tough and secretly rock n roll. Something I didn't have to style, but that looked rad when I tried to. Like for events and stuff. I'm a professional designer and I need to look like it sometimes. But on the regular, I prefer to just part it down the middle, fluff it up and go about my day. She made this work and look HOT. Do yourself a solid and schedule with Ash Bumpus-Martin. Because science. read more

I came to the conclusion recently that I really just enjoy keeping my hair black and at first was very torn about going to the salon but at the end of the day I am very happy with the way it turned out and glad I came in! I came to chelsea salon by recommendation of my boyfriend and had Shauna color my hair. I had the stylist use OLAPLEX with black hair dye. Afterwords she used a treatment that she called agave. Not sure if that's the brand or what its made with but it seemed to help a bit. Overall my hair feels really nice. Instead of using heat like a typical stylist always does with my hair type, she is trained in curly girl and used divacurl products on my hair while refraining from using too much heat and actually asked me how I wanted to style my hair and showed me how to use some leave in products to help with my dryness from previous henna and indigo treatments. She used a diva curl cream and gel on my hair, feels nice and better than the current products I'm using so far, but she also said I could use the creams and a gel I have at home and get similar results, and showed me what to do with my stuff at home. I told her I wanted to grow to TBL or as long as my hair would go and intend to stick with Shauna as I think the stylists here will actually help you reach your goals and get healthy beautiful hair! I also had her trim my bangs. They had gotten really really long. I really am happy with how it turned out and will return! read more

Tamara may not be available often but if you want a consistently awesome cut it is well worth the wait to book with her. She's truly a gifted hair designer. read more

Sarah McVicar is a GEM! She's a hair genius. I feel comfortable walking in and allowing her to take control of this mane (or snarled mess, mostly). Her ability to match my existing color and assist in the transition to my desired blonde has been magical. Then we decided to try extensions. Brilliant! I have more length, volume and confidence. It's been the most fun I've ever had with my own (and some generous tape-in extensions) hair. The style now stays in what was my limp, lack of volume hair; I have far less tangled and it's much easier to manage. Sarah has always been my hair angel, but since these extension additions she deserves another pair of wings. I had reservations of trying extensions. How? What? Will they be left snuggled alone on my pillow as I leave for work in the dawn? Nope. These suckers are stuck with me. Will it take me longer to get ready? Uh, not at all. I haven't imagined I could go days without washing. My hair isn't nearly as oily. Can I touch them? Yes, run your hands through these lovely strands. Can people tell they aren't mine? My housemate is a hairdresser, I have friends in my social circle that are as well. No one would ever freaking guess. We've fooled them all. Ha! And I can't stop playing with my hair. Braids, ponies, gather and toss to the right shoulder and then to left (repeat, repeat, repeat...). It's affordable, efficient, beautiful, full. And it looks like it's mine. read more

My regular stylist for the past 18 years moved out of the area and I needed to find someone who could make my lanky locks look better with a great haircut. My first time out I struck gold with Katie. She gave me a fabulous cut and when I went back a month later colored my hair and gave me another great cut. I couldn't be happier with her work. I love the color and cut; she's got magic in them fingers. read more

Amyrose is phenomenal! I am able to give her a vague idea of what I want and she executes it to perfection! She has given me amazing layers, precision cuts, and defied all the laws of hair color and trasitioned my hair from Black to dark silver beautifully! read more

I thought I would first give this place a try with just a hair cut. I made an appointment with Sarah Happ. I had an amazing haircut and experience all around. This place is clean and has great lighting. Good vibes all around. I would highly recommend her for your next haircut. The second time I went in and had my hair colored by Emily Harmon. I decided to choose her based on photos and positive reviews. I was not disappointed at all. She is very friendly and welcoming. I can tell she has a keen eye for detail on color. I had my hair bayalaged and she did a pro job. Thank you! I will be back. read more

Ok, I get nervous going to get my hair done. I've spent post-hair cut moments in tears before and while I'm generally laid back - with my hair, I'm kind of stressed out. So I really appreciated Ash's ability to communicate and actually thought partner WITH me instead of trying to pull rank as a hair person and talk me into something I'm not going to love down the line. She didn't come across like she knew better, buuuut in the end she did actually invent a great style for me. The best part is that she actually helped me come up with a concept that was new to me, but still totally within my comfortable place. It's not basic either, it's totally unique, has some attitude and is sexy AF. But still normal, ya know? Like I can go about my normal day without having to even look at it and I'm probably not causing traffic accidents while I walk down the street, but it's got some unique flair. Did I mention she styles out my husband's hair, too? Hubba hubba. Anyway, I just feel like she really designs the color and the cut just for me. And that made me feel all the things: special, happy, safe, and now super happily vain about my sexy head of hair - thanks Ash! read more

I have a very good new stylist. Found Chelsea on Yelp. So happy I found this salon. Very nice group of stylists share space there and it's a fun upbeat place to go to have your hair done! read more

Ash is a hair genius, wizard and overall super star. She is talented AF and my hair has never looked better! Even my wife has noticed. It helps that Ash is a lovely, smart and funny human being and is a joy to spend time with but honestly, she's amazing at her craft and you'd be a fool not to go see her for all your hair needs! read more

I had a great experience here! Tina did a fabulous job on my roots and toned me to the perfect shade of blonde that I am always striving for. She was friendly, professional and knowledgeable about product. I would highly recommend her services to anyone! Tina has been doing hair for 25 years -- she knows what's up! The salon itself is very clean with lovely natural light pouring through, and all the stylists were warm and friendly. A+ experience all around! read more

Love!!!!! I got to trust Shauna Faye with shaving my hair off and giving me the cutest short cut ever. I'm so lucky I did, because it turned so amazing. We both agreed it's the bowl cut of our dreams. Shauna is literally the sweetest human, not to mention a total badass. Definitely gonna recommend all my friends here read more

Amyrose is the best! She does wonderful diva cuts on my curly hair. and has been low-lighting my hair to transition the silver highlights in an artistic way. She can do the whole range from wild to very natural cuts and color. I completely trust her, and you will be in very good hands. I recommend her to all my friends. read more
