Absolutely thrilled

by alldeepblue

I absolutely love this salon! It's small and charming. The prices are excellent, the products are top notch, and the people are warm, attentive, positive, and great at what they do.

I went in yesterday afternoon for a deep cleanse facial and a hair glaze. My gal was Jade and she was Tops! She brought me a glass of red wine, was interesting to talk with, and the neck/shoulder massage during the facial was the best I've had yet.

The deep cleanse facial was comprised of four steps, took an hour, and my skin (which is usually overly sensitive) feels the best it's been since I was a girl.

The prices! I can't emphasize enough the wonderful value! With all sorts of promotions, packages, programs, and last minute deals - I'm thoroughly thrilled with this place. Checking around for the same services and quality, I found that they are an average 25% savings over other Portland Metro salons.

Highly recommended.

• Pros: great service, excellent value, easy to book

Lovely!

I love this place! I've only been twice. I had my hair cut in September before I moved and as June was coming to an end I was in desperate need of a haircut. I braved up and look up local salons. Chameleon was closest to my house, and affordable. They have a great website and I used the photos to get an idea of each stylists, uh, style. I decided to schedule an appointment with Madelyn. I got too antsy and made ANOTHER appointment for a week before. I went in and she chopped off all my hair. They schedule you for an hour so you get a wash and lots of time.

I liked my hair but it wasn't perfect, I wrote to the salon and right away (after hours even) Madelyn emailed me back and told me I could make an appointment. She guarantees her cuts so my 2nd appointment was free. Even though it was really me not really describing what I wanted. So I went in again and she chopped off even more bits and pieces of hair. My hair went from the longest it's been in a while to the shortest it's been in years. Pretty dramatic! But I LOVE it! It's perfect! I can blow-dry it straight and sleek or I can let it air dry for some waves. I've never been able to let my hair air dry and look normal.

The salon it's self is cool and chic without being too much. It's got lots of nice natural light and all the girls there make you feel really welcome! Both times I went in I waited for a few minutes and was able to just hop into conversation and not feel like I was intruding.

The only downsize is parking is kinda weird, there's not really a lot anywhere, maybe it's just where I'm from, but street parking is always a little off to me. But because it's small they don't seem to have a ton of people in there and I've had no trouble finding a parking spot.

If you can get there you should! All the girls are great and helpful. And it's not insanely pricey, they usual 35 bucks a hair cut type thing. It is great, give it a try, even if you don't know who best fits you just stop bye and chat, they're the best!

• Pros: comfortable, normal prices
• Cons: parking

GREAT place

by MM

Excellent style without sacrificing a comfortable environment. It's important to me to not be talked down to as a customer and to feel like I'm among nice people - not just those out to make a few bucks chopping hair. The ladies at Chameleon Salon have been above and beyond wonderful, even fixing the mistake of a less-than-super stylist. Affordable, too! I'm going back again... and again and again.

• Pros: Free wine/beer, great conversation, warm and welcoming staff
• Cons: Nadda.
