For hair and face care, Akasu is the best in Portland. – Almost six years ago I made an appointment for a haircut here with Tyra and have never looked back, especially after the mediocre ones I was getting with pretentious people. It is a calm atmosphere, with unique products, the Yonka skincare line has changed the quality of my skin for the better, and Sarah, one of the estheticians there, really knows the products and doesn't oversell them to you. But, they are expensive!
A great salon/spa that is minutes from my house! – Akasu is an awesome place to come for all of your male grooming needs. Whether it is a haircut or some of the other spa offerings, the quality is always top notch and you come out looking great. Plus, shopping for gifts for special occasions is easy as my wife always loves to receive gift certificates from Akasu for the amazing massages!
Good fer dudes – Like most men, I've struggled over the years to find a good place for haircuts. Once you're out of your early 20's, spending $15 for a cut just doesn't cut the mustard anymore. But neither do I feel the need to spend $50 and up. I mean, I am a dude after all. Akasu is the perfect mix. You don't feel like a total metrosexual just walking into the place. But neither do you feel like you're going to come away looking like you just went to Supercuts (no offense to anyone who patronizes Supercuts). The environmen... read more
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent – I've been getting my hair cut at Akasu for several years and have always come away with the perfect cut. Jennifer is my stylist, but even when she's out on vacation and someone else has to cover, the cut is always perfect. And Akasu is a good spot for guys -- not all "salons" can say that. You feel like you're being pampered, but it's not over-the-top frilly and girly. Massages here are also outstanding. Definitely worth getting one as a little Christmas present to yourself...
Wowza. A Gem of a Salon/Spa. – It makes sense... I would want to work there too! Let me explain. You do not have to go to a ritzy spa or salon to receive top notch services. Akasu is located minutes away from downtown in a renovated Victorian house. This alone makes me happy and sets the tone for the business: They want you to feel relaxed and tranquil, in a very tangible unpretentious manner. They offer a variety of haircare lines, with Yonka as their main skincare line (big plus!), as well as quality ancillaries. They offe... read more
Consistently excellent! – Walked in a few weeks ago to an inspired Tyra: "Ready to try something new?" So yet again, careful, meticulous cut and new color have brought at least five people to remark on how great my hair is. I've been going regularly for almost two years and I continue to be super pleased. If you want someone you can trust with your appearance, check out this studio!!
First visit a success! – After being disappointed after getting a cut at 200 Salon (highly recommended from Portland Monthly), I had to wait a few months to get my hair long enough for another proper cut. I was also on the market for a new stylist since we just moved to the area; luckily, my search is now over! I was a little apprehensive over the phone when I scheduled my appointment and I expressed this to the receptionist; however they assured me that Tyra (the owner?) would take great care of me and that she did. Althoug... read more
I had to see it, to believe it! – My best friend has been tempting me for 2 years with tales of her visits to Akasu. I'm ashamed to say it took me that long to finally make an appointment and go. What was I waiting for?! I watched every woman in our circle of friends make her way (in her own time) to visit this little jewel of a spa/salon in N. Portland. Each one coming away with rave reviews. In fact, I can't recall hearing about a single negative experience from ANY of them. Again... WHAT TOOK ME SO LONG?? I'm a bit of a t... read more
Best Pedicure!!! – My friend and I had been searching for "our Spot" for months when we found Akasu and decided to give them a try!! Well we had The Best pedicure experience ever!! Everyone was super nice and professional!! The salon itself has a very welcoming and relaxing feel, its beautiful! Everything is super clean. you don't have to worry about the foot bath harboring major germs in any jets because they use portable tubs and put stones in the bottom for a nice soothing foot massage. The polish used is all natural, whi... read more
