Read What Our Clients Have To Say About Our Vintage Hair Services

  • Tori gave me the vintage wedding hair of my dreams! We eloped & she traveled to the cabin where we were staying to slay my hair. She also does a trial before the big day to get the vision sharp & perfect for speedy perfection on the big day! 10/10 would recommend.

    – Meaghan S.

  • I had my hair cut by Hannah. I can honestly say it is the best style I have ever had. It is exactly what I wanted. My husband got his hair done by BB. They gave him the perfect cut and style. It was his first time in a salon and he bragged to all his gamer bro friends about how great the experience was. Also the salon and everyone in it were so kind and lovely. We can't wait to go back.

    – Samantha S.

  • I decided to do a big chop about a month ago. I'd heard so many good things about Chameleon Salon that I had to give it a try, and it totally lives up to the hype! I got to work with Sarah, who was an absolute joy and gave me an incredible cut that is already growing out beautifully. The salon has such a fun, friendly, and welcoming vibe. Both the clientele and the stylists I saw were a beautiful diversity of colors, genders, shapes, and sizes. I cannot recommend this salon enough, and when you book be sure to ask for Sarah!

    – Sheena L.

  • First time going to this salon, I got a cut by Kami and it's the best cut I've gotten in years! Can't stop obsessing over my hair! She made me feel super comfortable and confident in my hair again, highly recommend her!

    – Romi H.

  • Julaine does an amazing job every time! I have gone to them for hair coloring and cuts and I am obsessed with myself every time I leave the salon! I can’t wait to come back in a couple of months to do another color! And btw the spa vibes are immaculate. I am a big girl 6x and everything is comfy and everyone is welcoming.

    – Jordan M.
