Read What Our Clients Have To Say About Our Portland Updo Services

  • “My hair has literally never looked better than it does walking out of this salon. Celia did an absolutely incredible job with my color and extension installation. On top of amazing results she was so kind, informative, and accommodating to me during our very long sessions. Genuinely the entire staff was so kind and welcoming and I can’t imagine myself going anywhere else to get my hair done from now on. I can’t recommend this salon enough. Celia’s work is stunning and I have never felt better about my hair.”

    – Aiyana Levina

  • “It’s always a joy to come in & get my hair done with Julaine! They’re always up to experiment with creative looks. It’s nice getting my hair done with her because she’s queer & neurodivergent, so they get it!”

    – Haven Walters

  • “I have never felt more comfortable and welcome in a salon. All the stylists here are friendly and kind. Meg has been amazing to work with and I plan to return to her for all my future cuts!”

    – Nicole Rooney

  • “Sarah is a hair WIZARD. I started coming here last year and every time has been amazing. Anything I have asked for or described, Sarah has done it 1000000 times better than I could have imagined. Everyone is so welcoming too and it just feels so nice every time I come in. I always look forward to my appointments.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Portland Updo Services

  • From prom season to the time of year when everyone in Portland wants to get married, our salon experiences periodic busy seasons throughout the year. To ensure you get an appointment with one of our talented hair artists, we advise clients to book their hair appointments as soon as possible (especially if you require our services in May).

  • Of course! The more, the merrier. We would be delighted to help prepare your wedding party for your big day. However, the size of your wedding party and the styles you’ve chosen may require more than one of our stylist’s help.

  • At Chameleon Salon, we advise our Portland updo clients to:

    • Arrive at their appointment with clean, dry hair.

    • Avoid using heavy products or hair oils the day before the appointment.

    • Wear a button-up shirt. 

    • Bring any accessories you may want to include in your updo.

    • Choose a light conditioner if you choose to wash your hair on the same day as your appointment.

  • The duration of your hair appointment may vary depending on the style, how long your hair is, and how many bobby pins it will take. We understand that busy days often call for fabulous hairstyles and updos. We’ll work with you to coordinate the perfect time slot so we won’t have to rush, and you won’t have to worry.

  • Yes, bring on the Pinterest posts! We love it when clients bring in plenty of inspiration to help us find the best way to achieve their desired look.
