220 Salon - Work by Alise Clapick at 220 salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

So disappointed in the haircut I got from Jodi in December 2023. I had been seeing her for almost three years too. It's three months ago, but I still want to cry over the cut she gave me because I struggle EVERY time I wash and style. I had started to see her because I read that she was good at helping folks grow out bad haircuts. I had finally gotten all of the messed up layers and bad texturing grown out only to walk out of her salon over $200 lighter in my bank account and with a worse haircut then the reason I even started at this salon. My hair was passed my shoulders and walked out with a Mary Kate + Plus 8 mess. I now struggle styling this "haircut" and I've switched to another stylist, still at 220 Salon, but they have been super attentive, understanding, and have a plan to get me back to loving my hair. Today while getting ready I still wanted to cry at my cut. It is not good. I was "afraid" to say something sooner but really need to share. So disappointed. read more

I went to see Al before my wedding last month and she absolutely killed it! I was deeply insecure about a previous hair job at another salon, and Al immediately put me at ease. She made me look and feel AMAZING, and really listed to all my concerns, especially as this was pretty close to my big day! Highly recommend her and the fellow stylists. They're all so kind, attentive, and make you feel at home. Thank you, Al! read more

Got THE best haircut of my entire life by the angel that goes by Bree! I'm from San Jose, CA and have access to a lot of hairstylists in the Bay Area. I found Bree's account on Instagram and they truly are great at what they do! I would definitely travel again to see Bree and continue to make all my hair dreams come true! Not only was Bree great, but the setting of the salon was amazing! I felt very calm in this space and absolutely adored the greenery in the salon. Everybody in there, even other clients, were so nice and put me at ease. Love love LOVE this place and Bree so much! read more

Wow wow wow WOW! I am beyond impressed with this salon and my new lovely hair stylist STEPHANIE! Not only is this salon ADORABLE but the service here is beyond amazing. I have had some really crappy hair experiences since moving to Oregon. My hair has been fried, then fried again and then trashed/fried again. I was worried about going to yet another stylist but after checking out her Instagram page I knew I was going to be in good hands. First of all she's so sweet, listens to every word you're saying, wants to create magic and is passionate about her job. She's kind, open minded and very talented. My hair was a mess when I came in but when I left I was a like a super model only way cooler. This is my new spot and she's my new stylist from here on out. Thank you darling! You rock! read more

Alyssa gave me EXACTLY what I wanted I had been thinking about getting a shag for awhile. Well I finally got one! I wanted it low maintenance and after washing and using the cult and king jelly my hair boom air dried perfection! From one stylist to another go see her! Also the salon has been great with COVID procedures. read more

I am happy she is now at 220 and love this new location. read more

I had my hair cut by Bethany last week. I debated writing a review, because she is a very sweet person, but after sitting with the cut for a few days I thought it was important for others to know what they might be getting into. Ultimately my desires and concerns were completely ignored by Bethany in preference of what she decided she wanted to do. When I expressed concerns during the cut I was met with a joke of how I was "Stifling [her] creativity." There were multiple points when Bethany saw I was uncomfortable with how the cut was progressing to which she told me I needed to relax and trust her. At the end of the cut she saw how upset I was, looked again at the pictures I had shown her initially, admitted mistakes were made, and said she wouldn't charge me. She also asked me if I had a beanie. During the consultation I showed pictures of hair styles I liked, mentioned I liked light/wispy bangs but would like less of them, showed her pictures of my own hair cut and styled how I like it to be, and mentioned that I didn't want highly layered hair because my hair flips up in the back. I also have a lot of fine wavy hair that I blow dry straight when I go out and let air dry when I'm home. I explicitly expressed I did not want a shag hairstyle and prefer to look somewhat conservative. She cut my dry hair with a razor, which I have never had before, so now I have a lot of layers. My bangs are extremely heavy, start much further back, and are bowl cut-like. My hair is now much more tangled than before and I feel strands snap whe I try to brush my hair or run my fingers through it. I'm worried that the razor has severely damaged my hair. When I attempted to blow dry my hair I found it will not lay straight and follows the cowlick; curling under on one side of my hair and curling out on the other. I had a hat cut previously by Stephanie, who was fine. I would give her 3-4 stars. I went to Bethany because I needed a cut in a hurry since my ends were in rough shape. I looked at the 220 Salon instagram as well as through the stylists personal pages prior to getting my hair cut. read more

I went to get a haircut by Bree Ritter, the so called "shag queen". I had been following her and other shag haircut stylists on Instagram and had hoped, especially for the amount that I was charged, to have a better experience, not to mention haircut. This turned out to not be the case. We consulted before the cut, and I explained that I wanted a soft shag, not a mullet type cut and that there were several cuts I had seen on her Instagram page that were what I was leaning toward. I was hoping we understood one another, as she claimed that she understood. No hair wash is included in this expensive hair cut, which I found quite off putting and weird. Then, she spent the first several minutes of my cut distracted and chatting with the stylist next to us. All the while, I was watching as my haircut was not taking the direction I had hoped. She sliced a few bits of my hair with her razor and then asked me what else I wanted for her to do. I did I tell her that my bangs were too long, and that it didn't seem as though the haircut was "done". Four days later, I was still struggling with trying to like this "new cut" and realizing that it was just not cut correctly or well. I emailed her to ask if I could come back in for her to shorten my bangs and for her to take a look at the parts that just didn't look or seem right. Her response was that it would cost me $30 for a bang trim and that her time was not free and that she had already provided the service we had agreed upon. What? Evidently, I found myself with an egotistical stylist who is more invested in collecting payment than actually making it right with her customers. What had started as an enthusiastic anticipation of a lovely hair transformation has become a huge and expensive disappointment. read more

I waited months to cut my hair and Geri gave me a stellar cut! She really listened to my preferences and took her time assessing my hair and what the best cut would be. It's clear that she's very talented and meticulous at her craft -- she came highly recommended to me by one of the former Tiger Tiger hair stylists and I'm so glad I took the suggestion! I love my new haircut and will definitely come back for Geri. The salon also took all the right precautions (pre-appointment screening form, hand sanitizer, limiting number of clients, good ventilation) so that's a . read more

Nikki is amazing! I was in need of a stylist after moving to Portland last year, and after a few meh cuts at other salons, I've found my go to stylist! Not only has she taken me from brunette to this shimmery silver/blue haired mermaid, but she knew handle my hair and cut it to look fuller. Best of all, I know a good cut can last me about three months and her's definitely held up. Can't recommend her enough! The space is really amazing as well! It's vintage, boho-chic that makes you feel like you're in a really cool loft, which made going to get my hair done feel like less of a chore. read more

VERY overpriced. Recently went for a simple last minute blow dry and style and the stylist (one of the older ones) charges a ridiculous amount of money (over 100) you can go to so many other salons in Portland that charge much less and do a way better job. Don't recommend. read more

I saw Amber Kelley for a cut/color today and am incredibly happy that I did! First of all, the space that the salon is located in is breathtaking from the moment you walk in- a cool and spacious loft with a very relaxed vibe and a great mix of vintage and modern furnishings. Amber and the rest of the staff (including the adorable dog Coco!) were extremely welcoming from the moment I walked in. Amber also exceeded my expectations - she spent time getting to know me and my hair and then made suggestions to my hair color and style that truly "upped my game" and made me look more stylish/beautiful when I saw the finished results! The cut she gave me also works well with my hair texture, thus minimizing the time I need to spend styling it daily (which to me is the sign of a great hair cut!). She is obviously very knowledgeable about her craft as well as the products she uses. She was also very easy to talk to and down to earth. I am new to Portland so she also gave me great recommendations of shops/restaurants/activities to check out which was helpful. I will definitely be returning to see Amber and the rest of the staff at 220! read more

220 Salon - Coco is very adorable and welcoming! - Hair Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've been going here for a couple years now, at first my stylist was very attentive to my hair and what I wanted. My hair has been through quite the journey and unfortunately I'm back at square one again with uneven sides. It took me a long time to grow out my right side to be the same as my left side due to bleach damage, and yesterday I went in asking for a trim of my layers and ended up getting a full haircut with a severely overly layered right side of my hair, while my left side barely got cut at all. I'm very sad after yesterdays visit and won't be returning, I walked in feeling beautiful and walked out feeling ugly. read more

*see photos* Before and after a cut and balayage by Tina Jackson, who I am now convinced is a (totally lovely and amiable) cyborg, as this is the most absolutely perfect cut/color I've had in my freakin' life. As someone who is generally apathetic, at best, about my fine, stringy, won't-hold-a-damn-thing hair, I'm genuinely so excited about my hurrs right now that I feel inclined to spam everyone I know--and now loads of strangers--with photos of ze transformation. In short, you should probably just go entrust all of your hairs to Tina right now, because said hairs will be in very skilled, possibly even cyborg, hands. read more

220 Salon - Before and after a haircut and balayage by the cuhrazy talented Tina Jackson. - Hair Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Stylist: Natalie Joseph I've been a client of Natalie's for years, and followed her when she moved to 220 Salon. Not only is the salon itself a treat to visit (they take such good care of you! the decor is magic!), but if you're looking for an amazing, trendy color, a super modern cut, or both--Natalie is the one. I'm always asking her for something different. "Hey, I want to be colorful this time!" And she'll give me an incredibly hip cut with bright color, or subtle color, if that's what I'm after. Or if I want to go back to normal for work, she has no problem color matching me back to my original dark brown. She knows all the cutting-edge techniques and has gone out of her way to teach herself the most updated methods. Since I left Portland, I haven't found a stylist anywhere who can even come close to her technical expertise. Her precision and attention to detail is incredible. Strangers give me compliments for weeks after I visit her. And every cut and color she gives me grows out incredibly well. She pays close attention to how something looks now--and how it will look in a few weeks. If you can't afford to get a cut or color all that often, she can hook you up with something that will last until you can come back. read more

Recently had an appointment with Sydney, and I'm absolutely IN LOVE with my hair. I did a blonde balayage with a shag cut and couldn't be any happier. The transformative haircut I've always wanted! 220 salon is a very cozy atmosphere and all the stylists are incredibly kind. I will definitely be back for future appointments! read more

Mandi is the absolute best. I've been seeing her for years for various shades of blonde from super platinum to natural highlights to ombré. She's ushered me professionally through them all and has done such an amazing job while keeping the health and integrity of my hair in tact. Not to mention she's just an awesome human and a joy to chat with. I've seen other stylists when I've lived other places but none of them are as good as Mandi. I'll always keep coming back to her for as long as I'm in Portland. read more

Bethany *always* gives me a haircut that I absolutely love. Such a bargain for the price--with haircuts, I've found I often get bad cuts for less than $60 and anything above that is unfortunately not always get-what-you-pay-for. With Bethany, I always leave happy and love my cut even more in the days and weeks to follow, so I can't begrudge the $90 (with tip). She doesn't push product and is a fun educator; she listens really well to what I want, too. I highly recommend her! Very cool human, very talented hair stylist. I feel lucky to have found her! Oh, and 220 is an unfussy and beautiful space, too :). (My hair type: fine, wavy/curly, blonde). read more

I currently have the best haircut of my life. Ashley used a razor and scissors to transform my hair into the perfect shag. She took her time to talk with me beforehand, so I felt at ease because I could tell she wanted to understand what I had in mind. Ashley also taught me a new way to use products and I have been following her hair care advice - I now have the hair texture I've always wanted (and I just let my hair air dry)! This haircut also magically compliments my bone structure. If you are looking for a hair stylist that listens to your hair goals and is able to bring out your best features in the process you should book with Ashley! read more

I was really impressed by the photos of this salon and decided to take a chance with Natalie! My hair has been thinning out and requires a certain cut to keep it looking full. I thought that I was clear about this, but instead my hair was thinned out more (purposefully, because it created "weight") and styled in a way that I do not usually style it because in emphasizes the hair loss. Natalie definitely tried her best to make me happy and style it in a new, natural way for me, but it didn't look professional how I needed it to for upcoming interviews and positions. I was devastated when I went to style my hair without the loads of products she used to only find it thin and dull. It was so embarrassing for me to go on interviews with my hair looking so thin. I called the salon to receive at least a partial refund for my experience. Natalie offered for me to come back in, get some free product on her (which I felt was very kind), but I ended up having an interview schedule over the time and couldn't make it. Honestly, I was scared to get back in the chair again since my hair was thinned and cut short in a way that brought me so much embarrassment. I will not be going back. It looks like Natalie does wonderful work but this was not a good experience for me. read more

I recently had Geneva do my hair and makeup for my elopement photos. Before I found Geneva at 220 salon, I was having a hard time finding a salon/stylist with the flexibility I needed. Since our photo shoot was dependent on weather, wild flower blooms, etc, I didn't have a set date for the photo shoot initially. Geneva was gracious enough to ultimately do my hair and makeup on her day off. She was amazingly flexible, responsive, and so patient with me- I ended up changing the time on her about 3 times! She did a great job with my hair and makeup. She was open to feedback after my trial run and incorporated all the changes I asked for on the day of the event. We ultimately had our photo shoot in a very windy location and my hair held up amazingly! I loved working with Geneva and highly recommend her. I will definitely work with her again in future if I need hair/makeup done for a fancy event. read more

Well, she did it again. I'm officially following this girl wherever she goes. If you're looking for a cut and color that dazzles, Amber Kelley is your girl. Im not sure how she did it, but I left with my hair looking longer (thats some sort of voodoo magic) and fuller AFTER a hair cut. How is that real life? Ive battled super soft fine hair for most of my life. Its on its own program. Amber takes the time to explain what types of products are important to maintain salon style at home. Ladies, buy the product. Its a worthwhile investment. At the end of the day, its ALWAYS worth it. Your cut will be great without the product, but its next level with the added investment. I'm looking forward to our next session to do some sassy color and I know the cut will always be fabulous. Here is my original review from the first haircut she did at the other salon: "I was lucky enough to get recommended to see Amber by a trusted friend. I'm glad I finally bit the bullet and got a hair cut. I didn't realize how much of a styling rut I had gotten into! I grew up in the Cosmetology industry, and stuck my toe in for a bit too; let me tell you, Amber knows what she is doing. She is well-educated, creative yet methodical, and most importantly, she listens. She's super easy to talk to as well! I came in for a change. I didn't come in with any pictures, just my wild mess of red curls. I explained that this is my hair's natural texture and this is what we need to work with. She custom-tailored a cut that works for my face shape, my hair's texture and density and my personal style. I'm particular, very particular actually, and I left feeling 100% taken care of. I left the salon thinking, "Oh my god, I love this!" and I lost a lot of inches. Probably at least 6 of them. She then walked me through how to style my newly-shaped shaggy-bob magic. Amber is a gem. I like to think that these red stars are gold ones and she definitely deserves 5. Book with her, you won't be disappointed!" read more

Amber was my Hair stylets! Amber is super nice, very knowledgeable about hair, great to chat with and she listens to you! I have lots of hair, its long, straight, and thick. I wanted a nice clean up/thin it out and something new. Amber used a razor form hair and I loved it! This is my first time with her and I will definitely see her soon! Also, everyone at 220 solon was nice and helpful. The salon set up is cool! read more

Lona! Go get your haircut with Lona! I'm always a bit nervous the first time I get my haircut with a new hairstylist (it's like a first date, except you leave with semi-permanent sign of how the first date went on your head) but she was wonderful! Not only did she give me a great nape undercut, but she was also sure to consult with me the entire time on the shape, length, design, etc. I walked out feeling like a million bucks! Apart from the actual haircut, she was fun to talk to and made me feel completely at ease. It was like hanging out with a new friend for an hour. The salon itself is a beautiful loft space with great character and charm. It doesn't hurt that there's the cutest salon dog ever. Thanks, Lona! Looking forward to the next appointment! :D read more

MELISSA DORRES has been doing my hairs for like, 10yrs now. Yikes. Girls got style and knows what she's doing with her magical shears. The salon itself is small and comfortable while at the same time pretty much stocked full of beautiful people 5 days a week. I digress, Melissa has everything you want in a hairdresser. She listens, pampers, has vision and there's a very soothing, confident way she handles herself that makes YOU feel confident she's got it. At the same time, she's energetic, excited and passionate about what she does (which makes my little body, quite jealous). She also will take your ideas, combine em with a little touch of her creativity and probably blow your mind in the end. So go in and see this talented, hot mama. I promise you won't regret it and you'll probably be like, thanking me for saving your hairs one strand at a time. You'll also most likely feel obligated to buy me cocktails (while complimenting me on my fantastic hair wishing you woulda thought of it first). Just sayin. read more

This review is for Rachel. She's been my go-to stylist in San Francisco for 5+ years and recently moved to Portland...I was SO sad to see her go but thank goodness she comes to SF monthly to see all of her loyal customers (there are A LOT of us!). Rachel is an expert with all hair types (I've referred many friends to her with all hair types), and she is especially skilled with blondes like myself. Over the 5 years I've been with her she's taken me from golden blonde, to white blonde, to ombre and everything in between. My hair cuts are always fabulous and she is careful to never cut off more than I want. She takes time to listen to what I want and always executes to perfection, I'm so thankful she comes down to see us in the city once a month :) read more

Meryl Meyer is new to 220, but started doing my hair years ago in Chicago. All I can say is this girl is amazing and I pretty much refuse to go to anyone else. Color, up-dos, cuts- I've never seen someone leave her chair unhappy and I send most people I know to her. I'm sure if it's esp or a mind meld, but she has a knack for listening and creating a style that suits each of her clients' individual needs. From what I gather, that's just the general MO for most of the stylists there- everyone is friendly, willing to listen, extremely talented and willing to go that extra mile. The end result is a cool (but not pretentious) place for guys and girls to get themselves done up. Prices are competitive and really an amazing deal, considering the quality! read more

Nicci is my girl and she is who I have been looking for for the 8.5 years that I have lived here... finally found my hair dresser! She gets it. She is great and professional. The spot is gorgeous and all the employees there are very cool and accommodating. Love it. read more

update: 7/30/17 Just to add that I'm still seeing Nicci at 220 and continue to have great experiences with her and the rest of the stylists there. They are so welcoming and friendly and stylish and easy to work with. Love this salon! I just started going here a few months ago, and I'm so glad I did! All of the staff here are really friendly and actually acknowledge you when you come in the door. The atmosphere is light and the salon is pretty and not overdone in a loud way. Nicci does my hair and I don't really want to tell you how rad she is because then it will be harder for me to get in, but really, this chick can cut hair. I hardly have to explain what I want. She has an intuition about hair and once she gets to know you and your style can deliver the best recommendation! Prices are fair and competitive with other salons. street parking, but i've never had trouble finding a spot. i highly encourage everyone to check this place out. read more

I have to say Portland, I'm jealous - you stole my favorite stylist! Rachel completely and totally rocks. I'd been going to her for four years before she made the big move, and not only is she a total sweetheart, she also listens really carefully and makes sure you walk out of the salon with what you wanted (or something even better!). And, she doesn't make me feel bad when I walk in with 3 inches of grown out roots... She's taken me from blond to brunette to everything in between, and always has great ideas for my fine, thin hair. I would get compliments for days after I saw Rachel, and I'm going to really miss her! Portland, make sure you take advantage of this awesome lady. read more

I saw Nicola yesterday. I came in looking a mess - hadn't had my hair done in MONTHS because of a psychotic school schedule. I basically told her I wanted to be blonder, and to cut off the unhealthy - and with that, she gave me exactly what I wanted without even know what exactly it is I did want. I was also surprised at how beautiful their salon is. You walk through a somewhat dark building, and when you get to their office.....you open the door and are flooded with light! And this was even yesterday when you felt like it was night time at 1pm. I loved it. I loved the whole experience. And, most importantly, I left feeling gorgeous. read more

Andrea is the best! She's been cutting my hair for about three years now. Not only does she give me the expertly layered, easy-to-manage haircut that has become my signature, but she also provides such good company! It's like she's my buddy or something...we talk about each other's love lives and cats, and she knows my friends because she cuts their hair, too! That's how good she is! But suppose Andrea all of a sudden becomes a hot Hollywood stylist and is booked up for months doing Natalie Portman's hair for the next Black Swan movie (when Nina comes back from the dead to play the Sugar Plum Fairy)...I'm sure all the other stylists at 220 are pretty good, too - I can tell by their sensational haircuts. You definitely get your money's worth to leave your mane in the hands (and scissors) of true professionals. 220 also gets major props for the insanely stylish mural on the wall of their space. I'll spare you the details so you can check it out and be super-awed like I was the first time I saw it... read more

Sam Denecke is awesome! She colored my hair purple and I love it. It took three hours. She explained the process as it was my first time coloring my hair. I showed her several Pinterest examples and we discussed the pros and cons. I really love the outcome. My best friends and my family love it. Happy I got to come here. read more

Karyn Carmona is Brilliant. She does it all cuts (men's and women's) colors and styles like a pro. I have been going to her for years and so have many of my friends. Karyn also is a professional stylist, make up / hair artist with clients like Burton, Nike, Levis, W+K, Nikita, and much more. Go see her! She is really nice and will give you the best haircut you have ever had! read more

Ok, so my hair was becoming a silver halo, which is disturbing on so many levels, the least being that I'm not very holy. So when I went in for my next cut, Melissa hooked me up with Liberty for a color. Well, not really a color, but a lift to my self and a dash to my silver halo. Liberty is a master (maestra). She wove in bits of gold and red so beautifully that when done, you couldn't tell I had just spent 2 hours in the chair. It just looked natural. Isn't that what color is supposed to be, natural? Thank you Liberty! On another note, I got so tired of my husband and son getting those lousy walk in haircuts, I shanghaied them to Melissa. They were even more handsome after the fact. Thank goodness I'm no longer the only one in the house with a proper haircut. read more

I've been to Salon 220 a few times and I've had great experiences seeing Rachel. She is super fun and sweet! I am really picky about my hair. She listens to what I want and gives me feedback on what I can expect in regards to my hair. I always bring in pictures and she lets me know what is possible. I'm a blonde and I'm very particular about the color of blonde and the placement of foils for my highlights. I have really fine hair and she has done a fantastic job with the cuts too!! I also love the Salon! It's very open and bright with really high ceilings. Even though there is only metered street parking, I've never had a problem finding a spot within a couple of blocks. read more

Hair Stylist: Ashley Weiner Successful Referrals: 7 and counting (proud of it) Ashley is one of my favorite hair stylist ever. She is easy going, fun to talk to, and super down to earth! I've been going to her for over a year now and each time I've gone back, she's gotten better and better, even though I always ask for the same haircut! The salon itself has a really cool Portland vibe; open loft style with a round table of mirrors and seats. The other hair stylists are very friendly and I always look forward to my time there. As you can tell by how many referrals I've made to friends and colleagues, I am a huge promoter of Ashley and the 220 salon. read more
