I've been only going a few years here after our hair stylist who is the nicest person you'll ever meet moved from another salon in Portland. I think they have 3-4 chairs, but usually only 1-2 people working when I tend to go in later in the day times, which is nice and quiet. Big windows, a clean space and nice people. The last I saw they do walk-ins as well. Stylists are currently wearing masks during the COVID-19 pandemic and hand sanitizer is there . Recommended.

Five months since my last haircut in Tennessee, and not due back there for another six weeks, I was…read moredesperate to find a Portland-area stylist who could fit me in at relatively short notice, would "get" my existing style, could figure out how to match my existing (but much faded) color and highlights, would NOT treat me like an old lady (even though I am!), and be willing to take on a client who's only occasionally in Maine. My niece suggested I contact her stylist, Caroline Mitgang at Chair Salon, and I am so lucky. Chair is a wonderful neighborhood salon and Caroline is everything one hopes for in a stylist--friendly, youthful, patient, energetic, perceptive, kind and SUPER talented. My hair looks GREAT--she nailed the color as well as the cut--but she also somehow managed to give it her own special touch--a little bit of bounce or something that makes me smile. I can't say when, but I will absolutely be back.

I recommend making an appointment to see any of these talented folks. Cheers!

When i got there, she made it very clear she would have to work quickly and sorry there wasn't much time for chit chat. I totally appreciated that. She listened to what i actually wanted and was very clear on expectations and explaining it would take a couple visits to get it just right, but the previous mistakes could be fixed. I left feeling so confident on the color and the cut was amazing. She took the time to pay attention to my hair and see what was needed. She is 2 hours away from me but 100% worth the drive!

She's very friendly and warm, too, I'm very picky, and she delivers beautiful blonde highlights. Very very happy!

Not that there was anything wrong at my last place, but once you find a hair stylist that you truly trust - going to the salon becomes so much less stressful. Aimee is an amazing stylist! She listens and remembers what you like and don't like. She also isn't just thinking of your style on that visit but how to improve it each time going forward. I have dark hair and have always wanted lighter highlights (lowlights - I don't know - see, this is why I need Aimee). She has helped get my hair to the right color so that it accepts the lighter shades without looking like Bozo. In addition to Aimee, the salon itself is bright and cheerful. All of the employees there are welcoming and kind. They offer an amazing array of products too. Highly recommend Aimee and Tove.

(You can feel it, which I love.) I usually arrive not knowing exactly what I want done to my hair, as far as length I want cut and how bright or dark, I want to go. But luckily my cutting specialist (Tamiko) and color specialist/balayage pro (Jade) are incredibly talented, knowledgeable, passionate, and current on the ever-changing styles/trends of the world. Since I am not in this profession it makes me feel great to know that who I am going to have work on my hair, knows what will work best for my hair type and they make me feel so BEAUTIFUL!!!
