Read Praise From Clients Who Have Visited Our Portland Blonde Specialists

  • This is one of the best salons I’ve ever been to. Everyone is kind, the environment is inviting, and the products the stylists use are top tier. Kami is truly an artist. I’ve gone to her for blonde, red, and rainbow hair, and she never misses. Would absolutely recommend.

    - Marin Rosenquist

  • Sarah is legend. She’s been doing my hair for about a year now, and I’ve loved everything. Wanted a more natural blonde, after being Barbie blonde, and she nailed it. She also does my honey’s hair, which is coarse and curly. She can really do it all.

    – Ashley Daniels

  • I have had nothing but the best experiences at Chameleon! Specifically with Niles! Niles is not only a glowing, kind and lovely soul but they are a master of their craft. Each time I have seen them at Chameleon, I enjoy their ability to balance keeping the conversation flowing while working diligently and professionally on my hair, I love the space and I love the atmosphere. Such a good space and experience for a pick me up blow out, a much needed cut or a pop of color! What a lovely team and salon!

    - Sophia Whyte

  • I randomly heard about this salon while eavesdropping in Safeway. I had basically given up on trying to have hair and was going to shave it off again. AURORA to the rescue!!!!!! I have never been in a more welcoming salon, and this hair artist made me a loyal customer in one visit. She made me feel totally comfortable, listened to what I had in mind and then blew me away with the perfect icy blonde and super cute very short cut. I could not recommend this amazing human or this salon any higher!!!! Love it!

    – Summer Schoenhals

  • Liv Ross is AMAZING! She treats you like a best friend and really listens to what you’re thinking. She’s super creative when I come in and have no idea what I’m wanting. I come in feeling like, “meh” and come out feeling like an absolute smoke show! I recommend her to everyone I meet when they compliment my hair. Honestly wouldn’t have amazing hair without her! – Cortney Daniels

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Blonding Services

  • As salon co-owner and blonde specialist Nicole says, making people blonde all day isn’t for the faint of heart! Some color applications can take 2-2.5 hours just to get going.

    If you’re going for a complete change of color or a very light shade of blonde, you can expect a longer appointment time. If you’re just getting a touch-up on your highlights, your time in the chair will be shorter. Your stylist can give you more of an idea of what to expect once they know what you want.

  • We use the best products available to make our clients’ blonde dreams come true. However, for some people, those dreams are not meant to be a reality. Your hair’s tone and/or texture may not support the rigorous blonding process, and we would never want to do anything to damage your luscious locks.

    We don’t want to overpromise and underdeliver, so if your hair health doesn’t support blonding. And if going blonde seems possible down the road, we can discuss a care regimen to ensure your hair will be ready for a lightening session.

  • Blonding appointments can take a while, and can be challenging to fit in at the last minute, so we suggest that our current clients book their next appointment before leaving the salon. However, we know life gets busy, and sometimes planning that far in advance can be difficult. Whenever you’re ready to book, call us, and we’ll do our best to work with your schedule.

    We’re always accepting new clients, and if possible, we’ll schedule you for a visit the week you call. Click here to book online, or call us at 503-286-3711.

  • Processed blonde hair needs special care to keep it healthy and looking great. Your stylist will make recommendations for products and methods you should implement into your routine to maintain your blonde hairstyle. You can even purchase some of these directly from Chameleon Salon! And don’t forget to make regular appointments for touch-ups and trims to keep your hair looking its best.

  • Please do! 

    There are so many shades of blonde out there, so we’d love to see exactly what you’re picturing for yourself. Just know that if our stylist doesn’t think your inspo photos are a good match for your skin tone, hair texture, etc. they will make other recommendations.
