77 Salon

I go because Robert is here. He knows how to work my crazy curly hair.
The place is fine, parking is a bear especially if you need longer than an hour and a half. The cider is good. Coffee machine is strange. Easy to get to.
Staff is always friendly. Sports channel doesn’t get me going. Open and airy for being a daylight basement salon. Products are not too expensive. Good lunch around the area for your after experience.

I hesitate to write reviews for amazing places like this so I can selfishly come back with ease. But it’s got to be shared! Frankie cut my hair last week and he did an amazing job! I didn’t come in with a picky idea but rather just let him do his thing and was very much happy in the end! I walked out with beautifully styled hair for the weekend. Frankie has a very positive and fun personality which made my whole experience great! I will definitely be back!

77 Salon is hands down the best salon experience I’ve ever had. After reading many reviews and stalking instagram, I booked an appointment with Frankie for balayage and a cut. I have been wanting to grow out my natural ashy brown color, but the mid and end lengths were dark so I had the idea to get balayage to make the transition more seamless.
I could not have asked for a better experience. From the second I walked in, I was greeted with a choice of beverage (that was refilled during my appointment without having to ask!) the environment of the salon was not stuck up or stiff, but rather warm and inviting.
As soon as I met Frankie I knew I had made the right choice. He is such a genuine person, and after many years of getting my hair done by a variety of stylists, I’m so happy to say that I’ve finally found the perfect one!
My hair color took effort to lift and it’s also very thick but he was thorough and did not rush the process. He really took his time, it’s obvious that he is a perfectionist!
The cut is also beautiful, he really listened when I said that I style my hair a lot and a variety of ways and the cut reflects that.
Overall I had an incredible experience with both the salon and Frankie and I could not recommend them enough!
Another random note is that I live outside the US and only visit Portland once or twice a year, and in the past, once a stylist hears this, they practically write me off, overcharge me and assume they will never see me again. I’m happy to say that this was not the vibe at all and I’m really looking forward to going back on my next trip to Portland!

Love love love Frankie at 77 salon. If you want an awesome hair cut or color call him. He is so fun an does amazing hair.

New to Portland from SF and was dreading changing to a new stylist. I researched and researched. This salon definitely stands up to the descriptions. Great location for walking, nice inside and feels like a place where you can get a really creative stylist. I chose Parker for the cut and she did a standard trim of my basic style, shoulder length layered, growing out cut. I have coarse, thick wavy hair. The cut is great! No weird pieces, no weird layers and no too short shock that happens often when you switch stylists. She suggested I come back for a longer appt to do the color change I’d like which I’m really excited about. She’s a stylist who really listens and knows what she is doing. My blowout is even easier to do than my last cut in SF. Overall great experience.
Update on color — Parker is Fantastic! Can’t say enough about this color, I wanted to change from brunette to a pearly ashy blonde to let my roots grow in more easily. Absolutely amazing! It’s not damaged and the gradation between some natural blonde to ashy grey is pretty much perfect. This took a lot of skill and patience to not have dry bleached out awful or too trendy. The staff are super nice too and make sure you’re comfortable even through a very long appt like this to do a color change. Very happy!

This salon is wonderful and this is why:
Environment: Super friendly and welcoming, they offer a wide range of beverages such as beer/​wine for those who like to be a bit tipsy while getting your hair did. Very clean and warm.
People: I’ve been fortunate to have the best gal around. Her name is Lily! I’m sure there are many awesome stylists there, but she’s exceptional! My hair has been cut in so many different styles and every time I’m completely satisfied.
Money: Their prices seem competitive and for the attention to detail and time they spend on my hair — they are more than reasonable.
If you’re like me and don’t trust to many people to cut your hair, this is the place to find your hair guru. You guys rock!

This review is long overdue, but better late than never.
I chose 77 salon at random, and it’s been the best salon experience I’ve had. Michael Swanson is my stylist and at this point I don’t think I’ll be going to anyone else, unless he picks up and moves half way across the country. (Michael, if you’re reding this– please don’t ever move out of pdx!!!). I’d recommend him to anybody– he does an awesome job on my roots and haircut every time, takes his time and actually listens to what I want done with my hair! Which definitely isn’t the case with all stylists. He’s got pretty awesome style– a lot like the salon. Everyone is always really friendly whenever I’m there, and awesome music playing over the speakers is always a huge plus.
Michael really is the best! I recommend him to everyone :)

Awesome service! I had been looking for a place I. Portland to get a hair cut for about a week or so and didn’t have much luck. Places were overbooked or were out of my price range. I had Kylie work on my hair and she was a doll. She understood my personality and accomplished the fun short sexy cut I had been looking for. She also had wonderful conversation and charisma.

What a great place! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and pampered. Right away I was offered a warm welcome, a warm smile, and a cold beverage. My stylist, April, was knowledgeable, professional, and ready to answer any of my questions. My hair looks great and has a renewed health. I would recommend 77 Salon to anyone and I look forward to my next appointment.
Bonus: Foot stools at the hair wash stations! So comfortable!

Frankie is the best! Very professional and its apparent he has many years of experience under his belt. Not only does he run the show (as the manager) but he gives a mean head massage! I also love the décor and ambiance of the salon.
Don’t forget to stop by on First Thursday for free beer and art showcases!

Great experience at 77 Salon. I was in town for a few weeks and it was time for a haircut. The reason I picked this spot is that we were staying in the Pearl District and every time I walked by the stylists and their clients seems to be having such a good time. I booked an appointment online (super easy) and happened to just randomly pick Parker. She was very friendly and had a warm personality. I felt she listened to what I wanted. She was able to add more shape to my hair to give it more movement without doing anything drastic.

Frankie has done it again. I got that urge to cut all of my hair off and color it brown a while back and I can always count on Frankie to bring me back to that effortless natural blonde.

I visit Portland several times a year and have been shopping for a hair stylist I can see myself seeing each and every visit. I finally found him!
I saw Michael Swanson yesterday for roots touch-​up and am delighted by his careful and skilled work … my hair has variegated color and he worked with this really, really well.
Michael gave me a glossing treatment and conditioning that my hair adored.
I finally have found *my* Portland stylist. Thanks, Michael! See you next time I’m in Portland.

Frankie is the king of all hairstylist! Seriously he’s the best at what he does. He knows what you want and what’s best for your hair I highly recommend this place @77salon. Ask for Frankie!

Just finished another amazing appointment with Frankie Daniels at Salon 77… That’s right, he even made time for me on Memorial Day!
I love how comfortable he made me, and how blonde he made me!!!
I’ve been pretty blonde before, but the quality of my hair was always compromised. He made sure to take his time, and keep my hair safe. It looks and feels amazing!!!

Parker Boettcher has always kept my hair a bright and light platinum blonde without damaging it, and this week she turned it into a purple-​blue-​silver spring-​time masterpiece!
I’m also growing my short hair out, and she always steers me in the right direction keeping it looking clean and healthy while it grows. No accidental mullets over here!
So happy with my hair and I know she will always keep it looking fabulous.

PARKER IS A LIFE SAVER!
Parker is amazing! She fixed my horrid haircut that was choppy and uneven and made me feel beautiful again! She has made my hair a beautiful rich red too! She is there for all your hair needs! IT’s also an awesome plus that they have beer on tap! Yummy! If you are looking for someone to give your hair new life, I totally recommend Parker!

I’ve never ever let anyone color my hair before, I had only used box dye myself before. A friend recommended Frankie to me & he did an AMAZING job. Not only did he do a wonderful color correction on my hair, he also colored it to the exact shade of red-​brown I wanted in one session! He explained the process to me step by step & really worked hard to understand what I wanted & what was best for my hair. He also gave me some great tips for long-​term care & was overall extremely helpful & dedicated to his work.
The salon itself has a wonderful atmosphere & was very relaxing. I highly recommend you request Frankie if you try this place!

I have only had my hair colored a few number of times and the last time was in Los Angeles by Frankie. I loved it so much and it worked so well that the first time I came to Portland to visit a friend, I made it a priority to book with Frankie-​again-​even though he had moved to Oregon!!!
He’s so friendly, welcoming and informative as to what he is going to do and what he thinks is best. I convinced my friend to trust him as well and it turned out amazing!!! Frankie is the master!

This is my first visit to 77 Salon. A friend of mine recommended Frankie so I decided to give it a try. I was greeted with a warm welcome and a beer! Frankie gave me tons of different options for hair cut and styling and I’m really stoked with what he did with my hair! I’ll definitely be coming back to see Frankie for my color!
