This place is the real deal. After doing some research for a new barber shop in Portland, I decided…read moreto give Blind Pig Barber Company a try, and I am SO happy I did. I found my new spot for fresh cuts and I cannot imagine getting my hair cut anywhere else. They offer a plan where you pay $60 monthly for unlimited executive cuts, which even includes a hair wash. It's an amazing deal that saves me money every month. Conveniently located by the Old Port, right off of Exchange, Blind Pig provides a casual yet classy ambiance for those wanting a professional cut. As soon as you walk in you almost feel like you are walking into a speakeasy, which isn't surprising considering they are located in a basement. A hostess at the front desk, which also serves as a bar, greets you with the biggest smile. She then offers you a drink. That's because at Blind Pig, your haircut comes with a side of beer or cocktail of your choice. They offer simple drinks, like a glass of wine to more fancy cocktails, like Bloody Mary's. That's my type of place! The seating/waiting area rocks. With a mid-century modern feel to it, it has plenty of comfortable seating areas and even a massage chair. A great spot to enjoy your drink as your barber/hair stylist gets ready. The hair stylists working here are extremely professional and knowledgeable. They know what they are doing. Katelyn has been cutting my hair and she has been nothing but amazing. I truly look forward to my appointments with her a couple times a month. She's attentive to detail, never in a rush, and we always have the best conversations. You can book an appointment on their website, or by calling them! I truly love this place.

The waiting area has leather recliners and also a shiatsu massage chair which I personally loved while I waited for his haircut to be completed. Leesa-Maria was wonderful, she provided a first class experience for the BF. She started with a head and shoulder massage before the cut which was a little unexpected but he enjoyed it. Then it's followed with the cut, shampoo and neck shave with a warm towel. She put the right amount of product to style his hair and the BF was very happy with his cut.
