Absolutely Thrilled - August 13, 2009

Written 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

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!

My Favorite Place in Portland! - June 16, 2009

Written by Tara Lynn

I love this place! It is so trendy on the inside and out. The people are great! Its a great place to have on speed dial if you need something big done... last min appointments for color probably wont happen. However they are great about taking walk ins for cuts. All of the girls are well trained. They also have some pretty cool things for sale in there. Last time i went it was so nice to go to a salon and have a whole conversation with everyone in there... just like in the movies ;)

GREAT place - March 26, 2009

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.

Great Prices, Service and People - January 20, 2009

COZY and chic! chameleon is a great place for getting a little rejuvenation and a new look! - September 27, 2008

They've done some wonderful things to the Chameleon now that it's under new ownership. The atmosphere is very welcoming, and I love the decor. It's quite a charming place and a wonderful addition to our North Portland neighborhood. Ms. Giselle Karam did an exceptional job with my hair. I keep getting compliments for my new look!

I look forward to coming back as a regular customer. I recommend the Chameleon to other North Portlanders who are looking for a great Salon and Spa.

I love Chameleon Salon! Madelyn is great with color and the prices are very affordable. The salon has a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere and the entire staff is extremely friendly.

curly hair girl approved - October 06, 2008

My curly hair makes me particularly sensitive to a new stylist. I'm always dreading that the person has no idea what they're doing and will cut too much of my hair off not realizing it's going to shrink up when dry. Giselle listened to my concerns and worked with me to combine two styles I had brought in. She also took into consideration how much time I wanted to spend fussing with my hair in the morning. I absolutely love it and have a had many compliments on my new do, I will definately be back to see her.

Great salon in no po - September 24, 2008

I went in to the salon for a haircut and got a haircut by Madelyn who is the new owner. I hadn't seen the salon before when it was under the old ownership, but I really liked the feel of the salon, very quaint and comfortable, and I love my haircut. And big bonus points for free beer.

i can't say enough about chameleon salon - September 18, 2008

If you've ever been frustrated with stylists that don't seem to listen, you need to go to Chameleon Salon. I went into the salon looking for an updated style that's easy to take care of and natural looking color. The stylist really listened. She not only gave me a style that's easy to take care of, she took the time to show me how to re-create the hair style myself. And the color......its beautiful! I would also recommend the chemical conditioning treatments. It has made a huge difference in the look and feel of my hair. Talented, friendly stylists that listen...what a novel idea!
