Due to some weather-related issues, I ended up having to fly to New England a day earlier than…read moreplanned, resulting in me being there for an event I wanted to look presentable for with pretty outgrown hair. After some quick googling I found Lavender and put myself on the waitlist for the next two days, assuming there was no chance I'd get an opening. I was thrilled when I got an email about an opening, but less thrilled about the price - I've gone to plenty of high end salons, but this was going to be about 1/3 more than I've ever paid to get my hair cut. But desperate times call for desperate measures and this hair needed cutting. The salon itself is beautiful with lush plants everywhere. The owner, Laurel, spent more time working to understand my hair (wavy with a mind of its own) and lifestyle (low-maintenance, no time to spend on hair) than anyone ever has. Ultimately I told her I didn't know what I wanted and was open to ideas. Our conversation during the cut was nice and not forced, which is not always the case with hair appointments. I felt like she really "got" me - when she finished my cut it was pretty perfect. She knew that I'd want it long enough to tuck behind my ears, even though we hadn't even discussed that. She knew how to cut it in such a way that it would wear well even with my laziness about my hair. She gave me some quick styling tips without pushing products on me. It was a great experience. Several months later and it's still looking fantastic. Again, the price definitely made me hesitate but since I rarely get my hair cut I could rationalize. I'd absolutely go back next time I'm in Portland.

Also, I once had a haircut done by Kaitlyn and I can easily say she gave me the best hair washing experience I've ever had to the point I'm considering just booking her on random occasions when I need a deep clean wash. The space is beautifully decorated and I like the lounge area (there's one downstairs and upstairs). You can enjoy coffee, tea, sparkling water and a granola bar while you wait for your appointment.

I've been only going a few years here after our hair stylist who is the nicest person you'll ever meet moved from another salon in Portland.

My niece suggested I contact her stylist, Caroline Mitgang at Chair Salon, and I am so lucky. Chair is a wonderful neighborhood salon and Caroline is everything one hopes for in a stylist--friendly, youthful, patient, energetic, perceptive, kind and SUPER talented. My hair looks GREAT--she nailed the color as well as the cut--but she also somehow managed to give it her own special touch--a little bit of bounce or something that makes me smile.

I mentioned my double cowlick and she was clear on how that influenced her work to best flatter me and leave my hair manageable to boot.
