Not that there was anything wrong at my last place, but once you find a hair stylist that you truly trust - going to the salon becomes so much less stressful. Aimee is an amazing stylist! She listens and remembers what you like and don't like. She also isn't just thinking of your style on that visit but how to improve it each time going forward. I have dark hair and have always wanted lighter highlights (lowlights - I don't know - see, this is why I need Aimee). She has helped get my hair to the right color so that it accepts the lighter shades without looking like Bozo. In addition to Aimee, the salon itself is bright and cheerful. All of the employees there are welcoming and kind. They offer an amazing array of products too. Highly recommend Aimee and Tove.

From the beginning she has built a relationship of trust and authenticity with me. Since I spend several hours in the chair at Kutz I'm also fortunate enough to watch Kitty and Megan create beautiful and innovative hairstyles. I'm proud to be a client here as I always feel invigorated and confident when I leave. I'm excited to tell the people who compliment my hair where I go and who I see.

So disappointed and upset at my experience. I went in and explained I'm a natural blonde and get…read morehighlights once a year to brighten things up in the winter and the sun takes care of the rest in the summer, so I wanted something super low maintenance that would grow out as naturally as possible. I let her know I had a wedding coming up and I chose here because they explicitly advertise low maintenance highlights that grow out without harsh lines. As soon as I got back from the shampoo bowl I noticed my blonde was multiple shades lighter than anything I would be able to keep up with, and panicked a bit. Kristen acknowledged it was a lot. When we looked at the line of where the highlights started versus my root she expressed understanding that this wasn't super blended and tried to put some color on it to fix it. There were also spots where the bleach bled, so there are random (literal) spots in my hair that are much brighter than other areas (see pics). I was stressing since this was the very front of my hair that would show in an updo, and the side of my head looked like there was a bald spot from the bleach lol. She assured me I could come back to get some lowlights or some kind of correction so I tipped well and left, despite being pretty anxious. I reached out to Kristen the next day to schedule a fix like she said and this was her response: "Sorry you're not happy with your color! I feel as though my hair coloring technique isn't what you're looking for and another artist will have the technique you're looking for. In this case, we will refund you for your service." What??? I have two weeks until a wedding and if that's not your technique, then why do you advertise highlights with "optimal brightness without noticeable lines or harsh grow out"? Such a strange way of handling it when you don't deliver well. Leaving me high and dry, stressing out trying to find an appointment somewhere rather than fixing it. And I personally think if you can't fix highlights that don't look good or bleach bleeds, you shouldn't be doing highlights in the first place. Like I said strange, disappointing experience. I can see that someone else on here had a similar one, too. Also the owner responded to my google review by accusing me of making the stylist feel "unsafe." The same stylist who had me get my phone out while I was in the chair, look up her personal instagram, follow her, and told me to reach out to her on there to book a lowlight to fix my hair. Very strange thing to do with someone you feel "unsafe with." Accusing me of making the stylist feel unsafe and trying to shame me into deleting my review rather than just admitting they handled this situation poorly and didn't have the ability to deliver or fix their mistakes just underscores my experience.

You can buy clothes AND treat yourself to a new you! After being suggested by a new friend to see Cait & seeing her work on Insta, I had to book an appointment! Cait's portfolio on her Insta is amazing. She caters to blondes specifically, which is why I thought she would be able to restore my dark roots back to a silver-blonde. Unfortunately, if you are not too familiar with hair textures other than caucasians, you will be faced with a challenge. Asian hair takes MUCH longer to process, which is why we are willing to pay an experienced hairstylist who dedicates a whole day to us $700-900... Cait is my girl, she is SUPER AWESOME. Her humor is ON POINT. We both don't take life too seriously, which is why it was so easy working with her! But, if you know Portland, Maine's demographics... you don't get to experience that challenge. After 2-3 days, my hair color faded to where it didn't even look like I had gotten it done...
