Check Out What Some of Our Clients Love About Our Portland Hair Salon

  • I’ve never felt so COMFORTABLE in a salon space. I’ve seen a handful of stylists here, but regularly see Niles for my colors and cuts - they are able to make my very fine and flat hair look GOOD. Niles understands exactly what I’m trying to say/do with my hair, they are always down to chat or let me be totally quiet without it feeling “weird.” Also? I’m fat and fit in everyyyyy seat with extra space and comfort. Love it here.

    - Kirstie M.

  • Love love love Chameleon Salon. Such a welcoming, come-as-you-are type place. Always happy to find a queer-friendly, body-positive environment. Especially when it comes to a hair salon.

    - Taylor T.

  • I LOVE Chameleon! I’ve been going here since I moved to Portland and Celia and the whole crew have always made my hair dreams come true. The salon is a body-positive space and the staff are always welcoming.

    - Amanda M.

  • This salon is fabulous! The stylists are clearly very talented but not pretentious at all; it's a very positive atmosphere. Sara P did a wonderful job with my mermaid streaks, was very detail-oriented, and gave me great tips on keeping the color looking good for as long as possible. Highly recommend!

    - Melanie L.

  • Madeline has been my hair stylist for years going back to her very first shop. She’s an incredible stylist and a genuine, caring, and compassionate person! She really tries to make her salon welcoming and inclusive!
