The aesthetics and environment are wonderful and every single person I encounter was friendly and welcoming. I cannot recommend this place more. read more

I've had a lot of haircuts in my life, but the one I got from Tina at Vacation Club is the best I've ever had! Tina gave me a gorgeous shag cut a few months back and it's growing in beautifully! I don't write many Yelp! reviews, but I wanted to highlight Tina's incredible work. She's a true artist, and she made my blah hair look amazing. Tina made me look far cooler than I actually am, lol! No one's ever done such an incredible job on my hair, and now I refuse to go anywhere else. I'd give Tina 10 stars if I could. Many thanks Tina and Vacation Club! read more

The vibe was great! The talk was great. SO great that I had followed Allison through 3 salons despite moving 50 miles away. I figured my 11 year relationship with this stylist was so important. I really was invested about hearing about her life and her relationship and her dog, etc. I traveled to her and was happy to do so with the quality and professionalism I received. What I didn't like is when I caught Covid and tested positive (twice) the morning the day before my appointment. I called twice that day and left messages (this place NEVER ANSWERS their phone), and heard nothing. I got a text reminder of my appointment two hours before on the day of and called again. Once again NO ONE ANSWERED, even though I left a third voicemail. Wow okay never get sick! Sounds like a business modelled after the healthcare system I was inevitably charged $95. This is so detrimental to my budget as a single parent, and a graduate student who has very minimal time to work. The two stars are for Allison (who is more than a 5 star stylist) and deserves her dues...but there would be negative for the service. (don't even get me started on the story I got saying that it's my fault for not making it and they have to make their bills, etc. like we ALL don't have to. ugh) Do not trust this place with your money unless you're paying cash. Just please do not trust this place period. until these stylists can be free to have their own practice, you will be tied to not rescheduling AT ALL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Period. read more

Crystal is 10/10. She is very detailed, always listens, and super comfortable to be around. Both times she has cut my hair, it has been the best haircut of my life. read more

Georgia is a true artist and does amazing work! She did just what I wanted and it turned out better than I could have hoped for! Her price is very reasonable and the new Salon where she has moved; Vacation Club is very welcoming and has a great feel to it! If you are thinking about a new, updated look, make an appointment today! You will not be disappointed! read more

Vacation Club - Hair Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've been following my hair girl, Georgia, for years. I have to say, Vacation Club is my favorite salon she's been a part of. It's so bright and airy inside, and the vibe is always comfortable and cool. I've even had friends come with me to my appointments to chill and chat as I get my hair done. Little perks like a rosé, or hot tea if you aren't drinking that day are appreciated and always offered. They sell Eminence facial care, which is my favorite natural skincare line, and they use it in their facials. If you can get in to see Georgia, DO IT. She is a Hair God, but honestly, every "Do" I've seen walk out of that place is fabulous. The other stylists really seem to know what they're doing too! 5 Stars! read more

My hairdresser (Georgia) moved here from another salon and I followed her over. All of the girls are so lovely. Georgia does the best cuts/colors/balayages. I see all of the ladies doing amazing things though so you can't go wrong with any of them. The salon is filled with plants and cute decor. Free beverage while you're getting your hair done. Love them! read more

Really appreciated the care and attention taken by my hair stylist, Lauren. I have fine, wavy hair that has been losing its natural curl lately and Lauren helped me understand what products and tools to use to liven up my natural wave! Salon was really cute too. Definitely recommend! read more

Malissa is my fav. She is a wonderful human being and incredible skin whisperer. I have been getting my facial waxings done with her for a while (maybe 2 years) since my last person moved across the river. I know it sounds petty to not follow someone to the westside, but I'm not able to get myself pampered if its not during the normal 9-5 time. Also she is based in the NE and location is everything! Welp, yesterday I had my first 60 minute custom facial. It was amazing. I don't know why I waited over 2 years to have one. I almost fell asleep, wait, maybe I did. That's saying a lot from someone who hasn't slept well all winter. Highlights - Poprocks - Some combination of gel/ goop on face and a reactive agent that makes a auditory pop along with the ever so slight pop/ ping against your skin. - Massaging - I will never turn down someone doing body work on my hands, arms, decolletage, face (of course), and bonus head! - Extractions - these are a necessary evil. Please poke and pinch all those nasties out! - Having an hour to relax Hopefully this review will entice you to give Malissa a try. She's amazing. read more

I've been entrusting my wayward locks to Daniela Zarevich for years, even traveling from California to see her. She is a gem of a person and one of the most skilled and intuitive stylists/colorists I have ever known. A whiz at everything from tousled shags to sunny balayage, she always knows what will be the most flattering look, and is equally happy keeping it traditional or going full-on experimental. As for the salon, Vacation Club's luxe-meets-bohemian vibe is housed in a sunlight-drenched space on the corner of Killingsworth and Vancouver. With plenty of side street parking, and the most chill atmosphere ever, it's the perfect place to pamper oneself while still feeling hip AF. read more

AMAZING JOB on my color and cut! I have challenging curly hair and my new to me stylist, Naomi Riccobono knocked it out of the park. I walked in feeling frumpy and embarrassed of my hair. She listened and went into rap style flow on my hair. Absolutely love my hair, the experience and I highly recommend this gem of a shoppe in Portland. AND, this review is coming from a hair stylist myself, now turned filmmaker. LOVE Vacation Club!! read more

I've been to a lot of different eyelash extension techs before, but Lillian has been the best! She works very quickly- an hour fill looks as good as a 90 minute fill! I don't have to go in nearly as often to get lashes replaced because hers stick on until my lashes fall out naturally- there is almost no shedding, and I'm the kind of bad client who touches her face a lot and wears mascara. She's also a lot of fun to talk to, which is a definite bonus when you're stuck laying on a table with your eyes taped shut for an hour. She's very funny, and tells hilarious stories. I used to dread getting my lashes done because of the boredom, but now I look forward to chatting with her and coming away with an amazing set of lashes. read more

I love my stylist-Georgia K. I followed her here and love the whole vibe of the salon! Very laid back, and friendly! On to Georgia- an artist in the purest sense! Her color technique is spot on and her cut and blowout are a treat! read more

Allison is the best! She is awesome at balayage and cuts. Her service is speedy and she is great to talk with. Down to earth and real. Glad I stumbled upon her a year ago! read more

I just had my first haircut with Allison Jane and I feel like I found a lucky treasure. My aging hair is really tricky, half straight/frizzy and half curly underneath, and I didn't have a clue what to do with it. She took her time, guided me with thoughtful questions, and came up with something that really suits me and looks great wash-and-go as well as styled. Her scissor skills are amazing and she gave me lots of good advice. I'm always nervous to meet new people, but she radiates kindness and calm and I felt at ease right away. The salon in general is very charming and a lovely place to spend some time. read more

I love vacation club! Everyone there is super friendly and they do an AMAZING job. The place is so cute and clean, great vibe! There is easy parking right on the street. They also have a great variety of products. I've been seeing Georgia there for a while and wouldn't go anywhere else. I highly recommend! read more

I love this place! Do you hear me? I love this place. Malissa is a great professional and business owner. I've been using her services for about 2 years and followed her to the opening of her own spot here at Vacation Club. She does a great job with her "wax magic". Believe me... Booking or rescheduling is super easy with the phone app they offer. I never had an issue with my appointment schedule. I'm also always on time, but that is expected in any business of this kind. Also, we have great world changing conversations during each of my visits. I truly enjoy my time there. So relaxing, I don't worry about anything because she takes care of everything and I feel perfect when I leave her salon. As an architecture professional, I can also tell you their space looks and feels great. Lots of nice fun details and great vibe. Just go. You are going to thank me... read more

This place is (almost) just too lovely for words: thoughtfully curated, warm and friendly, with a highly-skilled staff. Kelsie has been my stylist for years, and I continue to be amazed by her, especially after she recently fixed some unfortunate chunky highlights I received elsewhere (never again!). Facials with Malissa are also wonderful - so soothing and thorough, and I love, love, love the organic products she uses (Eminence). All and all, pretty much the best place ever. I love you, Vacation Club! read more

I love Vacation Club! I don't live in Portland anymore but I wish I did because the ladies at Vacation Club are amazing. Whenever I come here I see Kelsie Britton or Sarah Emma Collins - both are incredible stylists. Both are sweet, open, honest, fashionable, creative and extremely talented (everything you want in a stylist). Plus they are both excellent at cutting curly hair. I've been a client of Kelsie's for 10 years. I love that owners Kelsie and Malissa have created a welcoming space full of creative and highly skilled women. If you want to support a true Portland small business and look awesome while doing it this is the place! read more

There's a new waxing genius in town and her name is Ajia!! I saw her today and got full Brazilian,lower leg & underarm-she did an amazing job. She was efficient and regimented with her step by step routine. She doesn't cross contaminate with the waxing sticks (double dipping) and is VERY CLEAN during the process. Since I'm fair skinned I have to be very careful when it comes to getting waxed but my skin is so happy and super soft!I love the alternate universe vibe that Vacation Club has to offer and might have to get my hair done the next time I stop by! Top notch and super hip! I'm a client for life. read more

Do not go here. I'm sure the stylists are plenty talented, but I booked a blowout here and waited 20 min before they figured out there has been a scheduling error. They had a stylist available, who then wanted to charge full price for a blowout with no iron work and then became too "scared" of my reaction to give me service. What a joke. Would her reaction have been the same if I was a White woman? The owner was was nice enough to call over to other salons in the area, but of course, on a Sat, nobody had openings. Left without a blowout, she still made zero other overtures to compensate me, even after I explicitly asked. I will never go back here again. Sorry Vacation Club, you are not that special. So disappointing. read more

I love Vacation Club! First of all my stylist Kelsie is simply awesome. She is talented, professional, a great communicator, and a really sweet cool chick. I always enjoy my time in her chair and I'm always thrilled with the results. The salon itself is super cute. It's really well-designed and has lots of natural light which is important for hair color especially. The team there is friendly and professional. If you want high quality hair design in a comfortable unpretentious environment, this is your place! read more

Sarah Collins is amazing. I'm always in awe of her color skills. She makes me feel beautiful inside and out whenever I get my hair done by her. I did not trust another person with my hair for 10 years until I started getting my hair done by her, and I have never once regretted it. My hair was sad dead and needed a lot of help, and it is now thicker and healthier than it has ever been. I get a lot of compliments on it. I also love the salon itself. It's bright and fun, and the people who work there are warm and welcoming. read more

Best salon I've been to so far in Portland! Georgia is amazing and I always have a great experience. Love the vibe of the salon and attention to detail. Big fan! read more

Lillian does great lashes that last a long time! Going on 3 weeks and people still ask if I just got them done! I even suggested that she get the cooling under eye gel pads because the regular tape adhesive gives me irritation and she agreed right away! read more

I'm sorry Kelsie B that is not what happened that is a lie Michelle didn't offer to fix it for free. She told me that she could fix it for more money. I was quoted $300 for highlights and that is not what I received. She said that she could add more dark at the bottom highlights are not at the bottom of my hair. She did a horrible job and $300 for highlights is extremely high and to leave as an unsatisfied customer being told that it can be fixed for more money is absurd! What makes it worse is that you chose to lie instead of having a paying customer leave satisfied. I will never step foot into your business again! read more

I've been seeing Lauren for over 5 years for my cut. She is an absolute maestro, knows what I like and I feel like every haircut gets even minutely better. Other stylists I've been to have shown inconsistency with men's cuts. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but never the same - not with Lauren. She is always reliable and finds ways to improve my look every time. Plus she's extremely funny and knows her sci-fi! read more

I love Vacation Club! This adorable boutique salon on NE Killingsworth gets me compliments on my hair and skin whenever I visit. The last time I saw Malissa for a facial was among the best I've ever had and I love that they carry a full line of Eminence products (the Monoi Age Corrective Cleanser helps me get mistaken for being 10yrs younger than I am!) Everyone here is super friendly and I always leave feeling relaxed and looking great! read more

I absolutely love Sarah Collins! She has done magic on my hair from transforming my normal long dark hair to vibrant neons, ombre greens, muted soft lavender to copper pink. Her cuts are fantastic and I highly recommend her! read more

Vacation Club is darling. It's super well styled, clean, and the people are really nice. More specifically, Sarah Collins is a goddamn hair wizard. She is such an incredible person to chit-chat with and her work with scissors and color is phenomenal. She always lends honest opinions on your hair but would never do something you wouldn't like or be uncomfortable with. I highly recommend her to anyone recovering from a past hair faux pas or just looking for general maintenance. read more

We have followed the co-owner of Vacation Club Hair Salon, Kelsey Britton, for nearly 10 years. From her first salon in the NW just as she was getting started, to the New Vintage Beauty Salon on N. Mississippi, to opening her own salon on N. Killingsworth. The Vacation Club space is clean, bright and casual with no pretense. Kelsey is kind and grounded which makes chatting with her for 45 minutes a pleasure. The salon is on Killingsworth where on street parking is relatively easy. Give this salon a try, you won't be disappointed. One con is that it can sometimes be hard to get an appointment with Kelsey because she is usually booked out a month or two which is a testament to how good she is. read more

I had a bad time the cut was not worth the money I paid and staff was passive aggressive and upity

I absolutely love Vacation Club! The atmosphere is stylish yet comfortable and everyone who works there is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Lauren Rouzpay is a cut and color genius (plus an all-around awesome person), and I'm so glad I found her! I followed Lauren from a different salon - a testament to how good she is, and I'm glad she landed at Vacation Club. Whenever I get compliments on my hair, I always point them in the direction of Lauren. I recently received a brow wax from Malissa and she did a phenomenal job - I plan to go back to her and include a facial next time. I know how hard it can be to find the right stylist and salon, and I highly recommend checking out Vacation Club and booking with Lauren. read more

Lauren is a hair slaying queen! She knows exactly what I want every time she does my hair and exceeds my expectations. And she's an all around wonderful person. I'm impressed with the stuff I see the other stylists do as well. The salon is adorable. The owners are doing something good here and I'm happy they moved into the neighborhood. read more

Vacation Club is solid: beautiful space, variety of service types, great customer service, and skilled stylists who are kind, friendly, and down-to-Earth. read more

I love this place! It's the only salon in Portland that I go to for cuts + color, waxing and facials. Everyone here is super warm and welcoming. Scheduling is easy with their online system. I've never left unhappy with their services. Melissa is the best esthetician - hands down! She gives the best facials. read more

Ive been getting my lashes done by Lilian for going on 9 months now. I've gotten my bangs cut by Sarah and she's the cutest ever. And It always smells like paradise in there! read more

I've been seeing Malissa for waxes and facials for three years! She's absolutely phenomenal. Ever since I've been going to Malissa regularly, I no longer feel the need to wear make up everyday. I love the space, it's so clean and SO CUTE. I've seen almost all of the stylists before too and they're ALL so talented. You can't go wrong seeing anyone in this salon. They're pretty much the dream team. read more

Meachell is beyond wonderful at keeping my hair looking great with changing hair styles, natural looking color and good products. She is an art work herself and we share some common interests so it is always fun to have an appointment at Vacation Club. I have been a steady client for several years and have always left with my hair looking great. read more

This salon really lives up to its name. You will feel like you are on a mini vacation here. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. They pamper you and send you out feeling refreshed. I saw Georgia and she was AMAZING! My hair has never looked so good. I now recommend her and Vacation Club Salon to all my friends. read more
