Called twice no answer. So I drove to their store. They told me they don't accept new customers. read more

My stylist retired and I had searched for someone who gives good very short female cuts. Thea does an excellent job everytime. Now I travel from PA for a haircut- worth it :) read more

Got recommendation for Thea salon from FB community group when I was asking around for hairstylist who is familiar handling thick asian hair ( me ) Texted her ( phone number is the one that listed ) and super easy to get appointment. Thea asked do I want to cut only ( $18 short hair $20 long hair ) or with shampoo and style ($35). I choose cut only because with the covid thing I really just want get in get out. And she also warned me to bring mask which I happily complied Came there 10 mnts before my appointment. She covered with the plastic cover that she can throw it away after each customer. She understand the style that I want ( blunt cut with texture ) and delivered it in 30 mnts. Very nice lady. We chat about hair colour too. She's very cautious and clean all the surface every time she got new customer. Hand sanitizer is everywhere. She take only cash and venmo at the moment. So venmo it is. Asked her if I can use her bathroom and she immediately gave me gloves before I enter the bathroom. Small little thing that makes big difference around pandemic time Definitely come back Definitely will go back. read more

Thea Salon - Hair cut - blunt cut with texture - Hair Salons Near Me - Portland, Maine

Thea does a great job with my cuts and color. Her prices are very reasonable. Beautiful shop. Always neat and tidy.

Just moved to Portland and I was looking for a salon. I came here to get my hair trimmed and asked for only 1/2 and inch and she actually listened and cut off only 1/2 an inch! It's hard to find a hairdresser who does what you ask. I was very pleased and will definitely come back here read more

I've been a regular of Thea's for about 15 years and always get my hair cut and eyebrows waxed there. Even though I don't live in Maine anymore, whenever I'm up here, I make sure to get an appointment with Thea. You just can't beat the prices and meticulous work! read more

Thea is caring and pleasant besides being very professional and talented. I walked gray and old and walked out a beautiful and natural looking blonde. read more

I just moved here and was looking for an affordable hair salon for the low maintenance person I am. I didn't need to have a lot done to my hair, but just to cut off 3 inches of my hair and add layers back in it since it's grown out so long. I found Thea on Yelp and was convinced by all the stars and reviews she had received. I'm glad that I can now add more stars to her page! Thea is super sweet and very good and fast at what she does. I was happy that she gave me the option of getting my hair cut with scissors or a razor. We settled for both: razor to blend the ends of my hair that we cut off and scissors to create the look of layers. I was very happy with the results. I was also very happy with the price. She charged $18 for the cut with no hair washing, which was what she told me on the phone when I made the appointment so it wasn't a surprise. She made conversation with me the entire time about my schooling, about how she's Cambodian and how I've been there, and etc. She made me feel very welcome. The shop looks like it was converted from a home so it's small and cozy and doesn't feel like a place of business, which feels comforting. There's a small private parking lot in the back for you to park. There's a back entrance closer to the parking as well as the main front entrance on Forest Ave. I recommend Thea and look forward to coming back for more haircutting magic! read more

This salon is not taking new customers. The person didn't explain why. She just said she can't take new customers.

Moving to a new town and finding a new place to get one's hair cut is ALWAYS difficult, so after a year of being here, I finally stopped by this cute little house that came highly recommended by some classmates. I have no info on the background or the owners, but I made an appointment this afternoon and stopped by for a quick trim. Word of advice: make an appointment! At least five people wandered in while I was getting my hair cut and the nice lady working on my hair asked them to stop by 4 hours later. I know I'd hate that, but it seems like they were all regulars and they were happy to come back at a later time. My cut (layers and bangs) came out to $15 and I believe most guys' cuts are $12. The atmosphere is nice, and they definitely have a great relationship going with their regulars! read more

Thea owns Thea Salon. Thea also happens to be THE hairdresser. She is incredibly friendly, efficient, and truly listens to what her clients are looking for. Not to mention the inexpensive hair cuts. This is a no-frills place. Don't expect a full on head and neck massage (in fact, no hair washing involved at all!) or the designer hair products. More of a, get-in, get-out. She asks me what style of hairstyle I desire, then spritzes my straight, thick hair down with water. She goes to work, while making conversation (in a very non-intrusive way), and depending on the complexity of the cut, finishes in 30 minutes or so. (I have loongg thiiick hair) $17 I think for a haircut? Worth it. Plus, there is parking in the back lot for your car. read more

Thea has been cutting my hair for a couple of years ... Very pleased with the cuts and style .. She is a sweetheart , can't see changing at all , prices very good ... that's all for today read more

I cannot speak to the service, but just an FYI: When I tried to book and appointment, I was just told they are not accepting new customers.

Read reviews of Thea Salon and booked an appointment for a wash, cut and style. Totally amazed by Thea's skill. It was better than I hoped for or could imagine. Price is reasonable. If you have trouble trusting or finding a hairstylist, Thea would be perfect for you. I drive 50 minutes to have her cut my hair. Impressed to see her sanitize her hands between customers. Will be returning to her for cuts and she is worth the drive! Thank you Thea! Love you! read more

Best salon experience ever! They really care and are so great. In the past I have spent hundreds and leave the salon hating my hair. Thea Salon was the opposite. I have never LOVED my hair so much. These women treat you amazing - I won't go anywhere else as long as I have Thea Salon read more

This is a very friendly and affordable place to get a men's haircut. I would rather go here than super cuts because of how personable the owner/hair stylists are. Aside from this, the owner/hair stylist is very friendly and hospitable. She makes conversation, interested in your requests and delivers a clean stylish trim. read more

I saw the great reviews & decided to try Thea's this afternoon. I've been looking for a hairdresser who will give me a basic trim without it costing an arm & a leg. I was lucky enough to walk in right after someone canceled, so she was able to squeeze me in immediately. She was very sweet & asked me several questions to get a sense of what I wanted, how much to take off, etc. and continued to asked if it was ok as she was cutting. Overall, I had a great experience and have a perfect, low maintenance cut for $15! Can't beat that. This may not be the place for people who are looking for a high end salon experience, but if you are looking for basics - this is your place! read more

Thea is fantastic. After some bad cuts, I only trust Asian women to cut my Asian hair and Thea delivers out here in Maine. Make sure to bring your mask during COVID-19. read more

I will never go anywhere else, Thea is the best! She knows her customers and cares go them beyond their hair. I have been coming here for years--she always remembers what I'm doing and always checks in. Sweet, sincere, talented, and so much more! I would recommend calling ahead of time to schedule an appointment because Thea is very popular and walking in could mean waiting a while. Give it a try and you will not be disappointed! read more

I almost never get my hair cut or styled (I cut it myself for 5 years lol) but felt that it was time to change things up with just a few layers and some thinning to tame my long wavy hair. So I went to Thea's house (her cute little studio is the first floor of her home - it's adorable) and showed her one picture. I didn't think it would be possible for my hair to look like the picture but thought I would give it a try. About 15 minutes and $18 later my hair was that picture and I feel like I've had a good hair day everyday since. Would recommend to anyone. VERY fair price CENTRAL location SAFE/ENJOYABLE environment SKILLED artist at work! read more

I was looking for a place to get a simple haircut that wouldn't break the bank and saw all the amazing Yelp reviews and decided to check it out. Thea was so sweet and communicated with me to ensure I got exactly what I had in mind. She was quick to respond to texts and worked with me to find a good appointment time. Absolutely would recommend her to anyone. I have long and thick hair so I was quoted $20 for cut or $40 for wash, cut, blow dry, style which is still very reasonable in comparison to all other places I looked into in Portland. read more

I was able to get an appointment with Thea same-day, and I am so impressed. I just got the plain old cut- no shampoo or style- but she took her time, did an amazing job, and also totally styled my hair a bit. I will be coming back!! Highly recommend. read more

My whole family goes to Thea. She always tries to fit us in, whenever possible. She is pleasant and gives a very good cut without taking too long. She is very reasonable (and desrves a good tip). -Jay read more

Thea offers affordable, quality haircuts. My haircut (no wash and style) is ~$15. There is lots of parking and appointments are easy. Call ahead because Thea does get booked up quickly. This is a no frills sort of place. I keep coming back because she does a great job and she knows how to cut my bangs just the way I like them. Don't forget to bring a picture of your desired hairstyle! read more

I really enjoyed my visit here. I got a great hair cut for what I consider a GREAT price! I showed Thea a picture of what I wanted and she got right to work. Meanwhile, we chatted and the conversations weren't forced or awkward. Sometimes, I feel like some hair stylist feel the need to force a conversation. This felt very natural and genuine. I wanted something simple and she exceeded my expectations. Definitely coming back! read more

I don't get haircuts very often and didn't really know what to ask for, but the owner was very friendly and showed me pictures and explained about different styles. During the haircut, she stopped a few times and gave me more options about sideburns, back, front, etc. I was added in to her schedule past the closing hour and I wish I could add another star for the outstanding service. In the past, I've gotten only a handful of professional haircuts before weddings, interviews, etc and I would have to say that this experience was the best to date. I'd rate Thea Salon as 6/5! read more

My husband and I both go to Thea, and I seriously won't go anywhere else now. She's given me the best cuts ever, better than any salon I used to visit in NYC or Portland. And she's so cool. Really listens to you and looks at photos, works through what you're looking for. read more

I'm a senior, have had short, short (pixie) hair most of my life. Sort of accidentally let it start growing out, one thing led to another (mostly frizz, tangles, split ends, etc!) and I went over a year without a haircut. My hair is gray, thinning and naturally curly. Thea gave me a whole new 'do, was totally attentive to my wishes, very friendly and chatty. Hair looks great---so happy after really hating my hair for years. Shampoo, cut, mousse, style, blow-out=$22. All I can say is WOW! read more

Amazing. I went to her last minute for an updo. I've had at least a dozen updos in my life... and not once has my hair looked like the hair in the photo. Fast forward to yesterday when I ran in to her salon with a fistful of photos of bouffants and beehives for a Mad Men theme party. She consulted with me, helped me pick the style that worked best for my face... and then worked magic. My hair looked amazing. Watching Thea work is amazing... she's after my own heart with her perfectionism! I plan on going back there for a cut soon, because I don't think I can go wrong with Thea's Salon. Oh and my wallet loves her too. read more

Thea does an amazing job! She's very sweet, does a great job, and her prices are extremely reasonable - she could easily charge more. Make sure you make an appointment ahead of time! read more

I've been getting my haircut at Thea's Salon for a couple if years now, and have never had a bad experience.

I would recommend Thea's Salon to everyone, and typically do. read more
