Reviews of Hair M Downtown (Barber Shop)

Samuel Franzmann

Great atmosphere, even better people working there. This would be my go to place for my manly grooming needs if I lived in Portland.

ron freeman

Great service

Matthieu Raillard

HairM has consistently delivered- great haircuts, a wonderful, relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere, and just a pleasant experience time in, time out. I highly recommend Amanda at the Beaverton location- she's a pro, and I look forward to my monthly appointment.

Chris Phillips

Paying a little extra for a King's Cut at Hair M is totally worth it. Been going for many, many years (started at the old downtown location). Audrey is an awesome stylist and gives a great scalp massage. If you're going to go regularly, it's probably worth looking into one of their Kings Club programs. When you get there, you get a beverage of your choice (usually beer, sometimes tea). Then, your stylist cuts your hair (better than anywhere else). Next, you get a wash, scalp massage, and rinse (worth the $15 to just come in and do this). Finally, they shave your neck and style your hair. And you feel like a new person!

Aaron Kraft

I'm extremely picky about my hair stylists. With medium-long hair, I have had a hard time finding a new stylist. Natalia did an amazing job, and I will be back. Great haircut and great advice for styling/hair products. I would recommend to anyone.

Troy Bauman

Always get amazing service when I come here. All the staff is friendly and they are there to make sure you are treated great!

Dominic

I recieved a Groupon as a gift to here; I've been once before, and my gf thought it was a nice thing to get me. Turns out because I was a walk in for a cut once last year they won't honor it, and only "certain" stylists there will accept them anyways. There are plenty of places to get your hair cut around town, with much less silly business models.

Cecilia Young

Amazing place! Every time I come here I am treated like loyalty. The staff is super friendly and always treats each customer with respect. Though the prices are affordable is it on the higher end but you wont be disappointed.

Brian Mason

Hairm is great. Make an appointment, show up, get out. No waiting for the next person available. And they have beer!

Christopher Evans

This place is time and time again a great place to get a haircut. You're paying a little more but you're also getting a lot more. I walked in one day and got my haircut by Antoni, and I've been going back ever since. He's a quality guy that has absolute and total mastery over his craft. Would highly recommend!

Basil AlFallaj

Seriously, if you're going to hair M I'll advise you to let Alena cut your hair. I've tried many barbers before but I've never seen someone this good before. She always put attention to the small details I tell her, and she is very skilled and experience on what she's doing. Not to mention her nice attitude too. Honestly, great job Hair M for having someone as good as Alena!

Ross Macdonald

Tana is the best!

Marc Delpech

Best hairdresser in town!

G M Parks

Totally love this place. I was so impressed after my third visit that I made arrangements for monthly King Cut appointments. The staff always treat me right, and they really know how to make a guy relax! Update: I've switched to the Platinum Cut, which is totally worth it! Highly recommended.

John Allison

I was complete walk-in and they treated me very well. Jesse cut my hair and it was great. I like the fact that it caters to men since there are less fruity smells with the products they used. I'd definitely recommend this place to any guy looking to get a great haircut.

Charles Honaker

Beer and hair cut, can't beat it. See Alena

Tracy DeLashmit

Best hair cut experience in Portland.

Jax McClaskey

Ashley is amazing! Thanks for such a great experience. I can't wait to come back for my next cut!

josh wheeler

I love my hour in an oasis that comes once a month. I get the King's cut and I am consistently satisfied. Kim is the always engaging and has magic hands. Can't wait until next month.

Lee Weinstein

Great cut! Veronica is the best haircutter I've ever had. The best cuts and so much fun to talk with. What a pro!

Scott Steele

Great people, had a beer got my hair cut back of the neck hot well straight razor shaved and wash. Super!

Alex Laughnan

This was the first place I ever got my hair cut in Portland. They have really friendly staff and amazing massage therapists. My general standard was the King's cut. Once you've been they will send you special coupons via email including a massage discount for your birthday.

Michael Brown

I have been going to HairM off and on for 4 years. (Took a little break when my stylist quit). I finally came back about 8 months ago and had a hair cut with Kim. We had a lot in common and the conversation wasn't dull and boring. She also has attended massage school, so the scalp massage was heavenly. I have probably had about 10 haircuts from Kim since then and will continue to patronize this establishment for it's quality service. The cut really is a step above any other place and any person who cares about their appearance knows that. Highly recommended. Don't let the cost fool you, you get what you pay for.

Bryce Munger

Excellent salon, great stylists. Have been going here for 1 year and will continue.

Scott O'Dowd

Great haircut, good beer. Like the new location, lots more light than the old location.

matthew lorenzen

I've been going to Samantha for a while now. Sometimes I don't always have the time to go downtown so I'll get my hair cut somewhere else, and every time I do, I regret it. Samantha is awesome. She takes her time, is very thorough, and makes sure it's a great cut. In this case, as in many others, the cliche is true: you get what you pay for. Go to Hair M, ask for Samantha. You won't be disappointed. (Also, free beer.)

Jonathan Almasan

Awesome staff, just be sure to let the stylist know EXACTLY what you want. Very clean environment, and if you book online, almost no wait!

Will Rogers

I have never felt more relaxed or as genuinely happy from getting a haircut as I have from getting one here. Zoe was an absolute delight, and even helped with the part I don't like to do: deciding on a hair style. She decided it for me, like I requested, and I couldn't be happier with it. In addition, I got the straight razor shave and it was nothing short of amazing. I honestly have never felt this sort of relaxation and overall feeling from a haircut before and I can't elaborate enough just how great of an experience this was.

Michael Hahn

I have been going to Hair M for over five years and always get a Kings Cut from Audrey. Audrey is fantastic and always makes sure that when I leave, my hair is perfect! Everyone at Hair M are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Thank you for everything!

Sean Syrek

For me this place is the perfect blend of quality and value. Haircut with shampoo is $40

David Dixon

While price can be higher, the service you get here is terrific. Try the King's cut on a promotion so you save money, and the next time you will want to do it again. Keep looking for more promotions to stack it so you don't have to pay extra for the King's cut. Honestly, though, the extra amount is worth it. I'll just get a haircut every 3 months to justify it.

Patrick Rancore

Good haircut and decent price. Heard they had a whisky option which turns out to be bring your own.

Michael

I came in on two separate occasions. My first experience was with Lamiya who was fantastic. Highly recommend. My second experience was with Alena for a Kings cut and again fantastic and highly recommend. Excellent customer service and made to feel important while visiting. Service is outstanding for the price.

Jeffrey Stocum

There's no better place for a guy to get "cleaned-up" with a little pampering. I've looked forward to going there every month for the past decade!

Tom Schneider

Certainly overpriced if you are a SuperCuts customer. If you find value in the finer things, you will not be disappointed with HairM. Like a good restaurant, they understand why you come and cater to that emotion. Very clean facility with downtown atmosphere and attractive staff provides comfortable experience for the time and money. Walking outside afterwards I am always in a better mood and feel good about life. I have had great cuts, better massages and delicious beer elsewhere but HaiM knows how to put all this together in a unique package offered with minimal hassle. The value keeps me going back.

Sam Ortiz

They do a very detailed and accurate job at giving you the haircut you want. Highly recommend this place, the price is def worth it!

Lex Smith

I love this salon but whenever I call in to schedule an appointment the gal takes my phone call and then puts me on hold for a 10 minutes. Happened to me the last 4 times I called.

Robb Nelson

Great great place

Douglas Hansen

It's a great place, but super high maintenance... Done going there. :(

Zak Kaldawi

Thanks for an awesome haircut Danielle! A+

SP

Got my hair cut shorter than I wanted, but after 3 days it's looking really good. Very Greek royalty if I say so myself. My hair is very course and I tend to keep it longer but am enjoying this greatly

Ivan Phillipsen

This place is awesome! Excellent service and beer (or wine, coffee, etc.) is included.

Daniel Coley

Samantha is by far one of the best hairstylist I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is rustic and classy. I’d give this place 10 stars.

Robert Childers

It's the best place I've ever got my hair cut, my stylist Tonya was AWESOME!

vlad cherchenko

Sean does a great job, highly recommend him!

Thomas Theuring

Great service and great haircuts. I really enjoy how they off you a beer or a glass of wine. The staff is very professional.

Milon Good

This place is awesome not only for the quality of haircut, but also the relaxing atmosphere. These guys are awesome!

Mike Johnson

I have been going to this location for a few months now and it has been a great experience every time I go. The entire staff is friendly and of course the complimentary beverage doesn't hurt either. A special shout out to Catharine for being an amazing stylist every time I am there. My hair can be difficult at times but she manages to do amazing work.

Curt Oliver

Moved to a different stylist at the last minute with no warning. Haircut not that great. A few weeks ago, I scheduled online for a haircut and selected one of their "master" stylists. My hair is difficult and very easy to mess up, so I specifically scheduled with someone experienced. Day of, I walk in and was greeted by someone completely different (according to their website, one of their lowest level stylists - "level 2"). I was long overdue for a cut, so even though I should have walked out, I stayed. As expected, my hair was not cut as I had hoped. She seemed to forget what I warned her about my hair halfway through the cut. Conversation was awkward and forced, and I was frankly glad to leave. Facilities are nice, location convenient, front desk people were helpful when online booking failed to save my appointment. So that gets 2 stars. The other 3 stars were lost because after requesting a specific stylist I was moved to a newbie with no warning after I showed up, and I received a haircut I am not entirely happy with that I could have gotten much cheaper elsewhere.

Miles Ybaben

Really enjoyed my time spent at Hair M, definitely going back.

Nathan Thomason

Ashley is a great personality that can not be replaced. She’s got A Game

Na La

Hear me out on this formula: Call a place Hair[em] (really, let's go there!), give guys alcohol (really!), Have very purty girls flirt and touch men's heads (hey now!) and put stereotypes all over the place (Sports on TV.) Oh and ask the men to kindly not molest or harass their workers using this formula. Amazing this all works, in 2014, without lawsuits flying all over the place. This says more about the microcosm of how ridiculous humans are than actually cutting hair! And I had a great time, despite all this! The woman that cut my hair was intelligent, flirty, and did a fine ass job of doing it, telling me things about my hair that I had no idea of, a good 4 decades in now. I felt a trickle of sweat by the end of it, is it possible that all haircuts here are this laden with potentiality of sexual innuendo? I guess it doesn't matter, I looked great, I was beered up, and Groupon had one more ace in the hole. Sadly, I don't think I'll be back. Mostly because for haircuts, well--I just want my hair cut--and get the hell out of there. Might be my anxiety about aforementioned human interactions. Might be my aversion to having the world's most awkward conversation while a woman with sharp metal utensils of death shears rapidly near your major jugulars. But ultimately it was because they spammed me after, and I don't care how pretty you bat your lashes at me, I despise spam. Sorry Charlie's Angels! Fun to try!

Chris Fillingham

Really enjoyed the services they provided truly a great establishment

Richard Vawser

Tried Hair M for the first time out in Beaverton. A most excellent experience. Let Veronica decide a look for me which came out great. Friendly staff, terrific atmosphere..... and yes beer! Look forward to returning.

Steve Schwend

Awesome stylists and they serve you beer!! Ehat more can a guy ask for. Very professional and upscale!

Will Richards

I get my hair done here. Always good service, never have to return to get things fixed. A bit heteronormative because of male fragility around having another man cut hair, but I assume their female version 'Hair W' only has male staff.

Howard Fan

I've been here multiple times, and every single time, Sam does an amazing job! She takes the time and effort to make it look amazing! Everyone always compliments it when they see it!

Carlo Peratoner

Lamiya is the best

Roy Brooks

Awesome place to get a hair cut. Beer, scale massage, and straight razor neck shave.

Yannis Koumantaros

As I was visiting Portland for a family children athletic competition I needed a famous Portland, Oregon spot or I could have my beard trimmed and my head shaved to look like a real good hipster. Ashley took great care of me and I cannot wait until my business travel takes me back to Portland, Oregon so I can get my next trim here. Oh and by the way they even serve you a beer.

Denes Balazs

OK haircuts and place, but on the expensive side.

Zac Sweet

My favorite place to get my hair cut! Very relaxing and there is beer.

Matthew Funk

Outstanding service, terrific staff (Veronica is the best!!!). Any guy who wants to be treated like a king should check this place out! I promise, you won't be disappointed!

Robert Leary

Always on-time and always giving great service. The free drink is a nice touch too. I've had cuts, massage shampoo, massage, and a shave here. They are all good and I recommend that you splurge if you can't make it an every-time occurrence.

Alex Gunnerson

Booked an appointment for a cut during my lunch hour. I later found a promo deal with them online before coming in but when I arrived, they told me that there would be an extra $30 fee if I wanted to keep my original appointment. The promo was only for a cut with their most inexperienced staff and they only had experienced stylists available... I'm sure they would have done a great job but I felt slighted and poorly treated as a potential first-time customer. Needless to say I'm disappointed I wasted my lunch break on Hair M.

gary j Monnig

Was greeted with all smiles from Tori. And Savannah was awesome, best hair cut and beard trim that I have had in a while. Go see Savannah, she will get you looking great. And whilst you wait you can enjoy a cold beer , and friendly conversation. Will be back for sure.

D WF

Free beer or glass of wine with haircut, professional clean and aesthetically pleasing environment. Was taken here for a cut on my birthday by a friend of mine and have been going back since for a nice shampoo shave and cut! Thanks again

Daren Lindley

These folks do a GREAT job! I have never had such great haircuts! Over and over, I get a great haircut and it lasts the entire month. Well done, Hair M!

Carl Terranova

Being greeted by name when I arrive, and having my pick of beverages to enjoy while I wait for my appointment, is already enough to set HairM apart from most salons. But the King's Cut experience is where HairM and their fantastic stylists really shine. If you've only ever had a haircut, treat yourself to a King's Cut and see what you've been missing!

Jeff Darnell

Overpriced chain style cuts

Michael Wheeler

A good place to get an above average hair cut and a beer or wine with it, for a reasonable (albeit also above average) price with a good atmosphere. Join the members club and pay for 12 hair cuts on advance for a discount, but beware of frequent turnover in many of their newer stylists. Free neck trims between visits and massage also available at additional cost.

tom gillpatrick

First time visit, welcoming environment, professional cutter and good conversation along with good hair. What more could one want? :)

Tom Simpson

Great service. Kings Cut is worth it.

Colton Knudsen

I won't go anywhere else for a haircut since I started going here almost 3 years ago.

Nani PK

Stupid service. They didn't even inform even the appointment is cancelled.

Jason Bowen

Got a package here as a gift and it was quite nice. It was a little smaller than I expected from their website, but that wasn't really an issue. I drank a beer while waiting for my massage appointment (I might wait until after the massage next time as I had to pee half way through and wasn't as relaxing holding it) - but I enjoyed a nice 55 minute full body massage. Then I drank another beer while waiting for my hair cut and sat there in a very comfortable bliss. Both ladies that helped me were nice, professional, and easy on the eyes =] I scheduled a follow up hair cut as I really enjoyed the experience and services there.

Austin Phillips

Ashlee is amazing! The haircuts are a bit expensive (compared to other barber shops/salons in Portland), but you get what you pay for.

Eric Kammerud

Great place, super friendly, the scalp massage is fantastic.

Sean Long

GREAT haircuts, consistently. What you really pay for here is consistency. Great Clips or other discount barbers can give you a good haircut if you get lucky, but this place will give you a great haircut every single time. Plus wonderful extras and a good ambiance.

Nisu Shah

I just walked in for a cut and only had to wait about 15 minutes! Great service and a great attention to detail!

Dennis Brown

I get great haircuts there, but the extras are what make HairM special. I enjoy the cool scalp massage, the hot towel, and the light back massage. I always leave feeling much better than when I arrived. Recently Audrey suggested a change in my hair style and she was right - much improved.

Peter Ramsing

Hair M has their ability to transport you into a great experience. My barber, Zoe, is always friendly and I really enjoy how she knows my cut even after just a few times in. While it is pricy, it's much more than a haircut. I look forward to my haircuts knowing it's going to be relaxing and done right.

Jeff Collell

Best experience I've had in a long time. Great staff, nice wine while I waited. It's definitely my new place!

Jordon Hoggro

I had my first experience at Hair M last week. I had my hair cut by Kathryn and it was an excellent experience from beginning to end. When you walk in they offer you a beverage of your choice. The atmosphere is classy yet relaxed. If you schedule you are offered a free washout which I can't recommend enough. I look forward to my next visit!

Andrew

Great staff, awesome atmosphere. It's become a fun place to hangout before & after a haircut (or shave). It's a must!

Andy Bochmann

Friendly staff, good atmosphere, nice interior. I'm very satisfied with my hair cut and I'm sure I'll go there again.

Steven Koch

Platinum Service is the only way to go.

Alan Bates

Big fan of Hair M. Service is fantastic.

Casey Flesch

Great cut once again. I usually try new cuts and they always come out great!
