Awesome! Friendly staff who really listens. – I will admit that I was a tad apprehensive about getting my hair cut at Blades after viewing the photos on their website. Although the styles were cool, I'm not and I was afraid that I might end up with blue hair or something similarly as wild. Lucky for me, I went by the reviews here on Citysearch instead! From the moment I walked in everyone was so welcoming, the receptionist, the stylists, everyone. I arrived about 30 minutes early and fully expected to wait (and would have be... read more

Very hip salon, best haircut and color EVER!!! – I just got back from my first-ever visit to Portland, OR. I live in CT and love my stylist here. However, I was growing out my hair for a summer wedding but decided I couldn't stand it anymore. Being a guest in Portland I checked out salons using City Search and liked the reviews for Blades. I made a Friday morning apt for a cut and color with Tiffany. I have to admit, I was a little intimidated when I walked in. The stylists had such funky hip hair styles and outrageous color... read more

Best haircut EVER – After months of agonizing about how/where to get my hair cut, I decided to give Blades a try. To be honest, I wasn't very optimistic because I had tried all kinds of salons in the past and had never been satisfied. My hair is thick, long, very curly, and impossible to style. I am not a girly girl so my mess of a hair has been a major pain in the butt for many many years. The straightening iron is my best friend and when it rains, I am totally screwed. A good cut and lots of styling advice was therefore lo... read more

Best salon experience I've ever had – A very long winded account of my wonderful experience at Blades: A couple of weeks ago I decided to cut my hair off. Being relatively new to the city I googled and citysearched until I found Blades, and decided to give them a try. I?m so glad I did! The staff is so friendly and laidback. They made me feel welcome right away (unlike other places that seem to specialize in making their customers feel inadequate and underdressed.) Haley, my stylist, sat down with me had an actual honest-to-... read more

I wouldn't go anywhere else – I've never been big on spending money on haircuts. I always thought it was a waste of money and spent most of my life cutting my own hair. Occasionally I'd go to a low-end hip place like Rudy's. But those places are hit-or-miss. Every once and a while I'd get a good cut, but never anything amazing. I finally tried Blades because I'd heard really good things. I wanted a place where I didn't have to bring in a picture or describe a cut exactly. I'm pretty indecisive and never have a clear idea of ... read more

The Salon of My Dreams – PROBLEM:I asked for highlights in my brown hair at a salon in another city. Disaster ensued and I ended up with dark gray/greenish, over-tonered frizzy hair just as we were heading off to spend a Thanksgiving week with family outside of Seattle. GATHERING DATA: As we stopped in Portland on the way to Seattle, I cried to three friends here about the mess on my head, and they all said, "Blades. Call them. They fix hair." So I did. MAKING A PLAN: Courtney was so great; she listened to my angsting with s... read more

Best Hair Salon – I thought the personnel at Blades handled their computer crisis with a great deal of professionalism. The salon coordinator, Courtney, worked 12 hour days to try and fix the problem. When I saw her at my appointment that very week, she was very upset at any inconvenience this problem might have caused clients. I can assure you that in the 2 years that I have been a client at Blades, I have never had a negative experience, either with the results of my hair or the exceptional service I have received. Compute... read more

No Tipping Salon!! – We wish to apologize to May2006. Our worst nightmare happened and our entire software system crashed!!! All of our appointment log vanished for an entire year. We literally had 2 weeks of confusion and utter h#@%. There was a point where we were told by our computer people that it was "fixed" but it clearly was not. We are sorry that you were caught in the middle of that. We humbly apologize to you.

Worst Salon in NW Portland – Upon recently moving to the area I have been looking for a new salon, so I decided based on the reviews to try Blades Hair Studio. So I called to make a appointment, the day I needed they had avaliable so I thought great and booked. I planned my weekend accordingly, until later that day when I got a message saying they were having computer problems and actually booked my appointment on top of another client. So, I proceeded to schedule for another day and the woman said the computers were still d... read more
