Read What Our Clients Have To Say About Our Curly Hair Services in Portland

  • Victoria is the best stylist I have ever had! They are always down to do something fun or experimental with my hair. We always have amazing conversations and they make me feel so welcome and cared for! They’re also the only person who I trust completely with my hair texture and its maintenance. As someone who has struggled to find that specific understanding of curly hair and care with a stylist, I’m so grateful I found them. I always leave their chair with newfound confidence! I truly cannot recommend them enough!

    – Steph W.

  • Meg is absolutely wonderful and sooo talented. First off, I have very thick/curly hair and I was blown away by her knowledge and ability to properly cut my hair. Secondly, I came in with black box died hair and she was able to lift and dye my hair to a beautiful teal blue and purple and it looks so good, I have been stopped daily since then with people asking me who did my hair. Even though I had come in with box dyed black hair with an at home haircut, that I literally cut with my kitchen scissors, not once did she shame me for that and was so understanding. THE BEST PART, I left the salon with healthier hair than when I came in and obviously I’m obsessed with the color and I’ve never loved my hair so much. Lastly, everyone there is so kind, talented, funny and the salon playlist was fire.

  • I got my hair cut by Sarah and I couldn’t be more thrilled with my cut! I have long thick curly hair and asked for layers. Not everyone knows how to cut curly hair or do layers but Sarah asked all the right questions and took her time to make it perfect without cutting too short. It’s so comforting to know I now have a stylist I can trust! She also styled afterwards with my natural curls which no one ever asks me to do. Thank you Sarah! Can’t wait to come back!

    – Cam S.

  • I came in for a curly cut with Sarah Rose and this is the happiest I’ve EVER been with a haircut! I have fine wavy hair mixed with some curls. In the past, I’ve had stylists add layers in a way that make me feel like a founding father (lol) and I was nervous about getting layers again. Sarah listened to my concerns, worked their magic, and I love my hair more than ever. Plus the salon offers SUPER comfy seating! I even sent my husband here for a curly cut (I believe he went with Tay Reed) and he’s never been happier with a haircut. Thank you Chameleon Salon!

    – Daisy P.

  • I'm so happy with my long curly cut from Christine! She was so knowledgable and communicative throughout the appointment. She had lots of great suggestions for how to manage my curls, and gave me a really beautiful cut. Thank you Christine! I will definitely be coming back in the future!

    – Leah W.
