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!

TLDR; Hands down THE best haircut I've ever had! I will certainly be coming here for future haircuts for as long as I can. I have struggled for pretty much my whole life with trying out different haircuts and finding one that I really liked. Eventually, I just gave up and decided to just grow my hair out so that I could avoid haircuts all together. After about 8 years I decided I needed a change and stumbled upon Hair M, and I am so glad that I did. The staff and the stylist were so welcoming and accommodating which helped calm my nerves about getting a haircut after so long. The stylist absolutely knocked it out of the park with my hair cut. I opted for their "standard cut" option and the quality and details of the haircut I received are things that I wouldn't have ever known how to articulate when describing what I wanted. This really shows that the stylist has a deep understanding of her craft and lots of experience to be able to give me a haircut that feels like it fits me so well. After my haircut I had to stop at the store and the cashier gave me a compliment on my hair which had never happened to me before. Every time I looked in the mirror I just couldn't help but smile because I was so happy with how it looked. Safe to say they have won me over as a customer and I would recommend them to anyone that is looking to get a high quality cut.

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.

After a number of years living in Portland, numerous barber shops, I've finally found a place that I feel happy with coming back too. Each hair stylist I've been with has been amazing and I will continue coming back. Most recently got my hair done by Ashley who was awesome. Super kind, conversational and takes her time to ensure that you get a good cut and walk out the door with something you like. I thought she did a great job and I look forward to visiting again. Overall, Hair M provides a great experience. They only cut men's hair and they do it well. You are warmly welcomed and asked if you'd like a beverage. They have beer, cider, water, etc. Good conversation and an even better haircut. Highly recommend.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I am sad that I no longer live within walking distance because this is my #1 favorite men's hair salon hands-down. A couple days ago I went in with a "hair emergency", a bad cut that needed to be fixed by a professional. Samantha spent all of 15 minutes and I absolutely love it now! Kudos to Samantha!! Everyone there is always very welcoming and friendly. I enjoy just going there, but now It's a significant drive for me. I will still go in from time to time to see the people there. :) Lauren is also great behind the desk and I enjoy chatting with her over a beer while waiting for my turn.

Just so you know the economy dosen't work like when there's less money available prices go up! Worring about only yourself only leads one place, solitude. Raising your rates and lessening your stylists hours speaks volumes about your character and I would be going elsewhere from now on. The stylist did an outstanding haircut, but recieved no reward, who in their right mind would pay 50 dollars to have their hair cut at the same place twice in one lifetime. I hope I'm wrong and Hair M at least followed suit and raised the stylist's take home pay.

My son and I were in Portland briefly from the East Coast, and just picked Hair M randomly from the internet. Jennifer worked us in. My son has long hair and has never liked a haircut he's gotten back here in the SE. Last week with Jennifer changed that. Plus, she was really good at communicating with him through the entire process. Jennifer also cut my hair, which while an easier and more traditional cut, was very high quality. Jennifer and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Couldn't have been a better experience, and I highly recommend.

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.

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.

Hair M downtown has been my go-to barbershop for my haircuts for the past 3 months and it has been a delight! Erica at the front desk always has an ice cold IPA waiting for me upon arrival, and she makes great conversation to pass the time before and after the cut. The stylist Samantha is always spot on with executing the hairstyles I ask for. I definitely recommend this location if you're looking for an upscale location for your hair care.

Samantha trimmed my hair 3 inches and really cleaned it up to look nice. She gave me some good advice on ways to take care of it and keep it looking fresh. My hair is really long and pretty thick and generally other stylists/barbers take too much off and don't layer it correctly but I'm really happy with what she's done. The salon is quaint and conveniently located. I'll definitely consider coming back the next time I need something done.

10/10 recommend Samantha at Hair M downtown. I had never been to the downtown location and had to get a good haircut last minute and I was lucky enough to find a same day cancellation and booked it. She by far gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever received. She listened to what I wanted and knew exactly what to do. Was flawless. I think all the ladies there are amazing from what I've heard, but Samantha has earned a loyal client.

The haircuts here are worth the price of admission thanks to care and passion put into the work. All the ladies are excellent so I’ll start there… That being said, Samantha cut my hair today. I’ve had a haircut at Hair M many times, this was the first time with her. She was superb. My favorite so far. I’d recommend her to anyone. Easy to work with and an excellent conversationalist. Tip your hair stylists gentlemen! Peace & love

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.)

I recently visited Hair M for a haircut. I am a youthful 70 y/o women with short hair. I can say without reservation that it was the best haircut I’ve ever had. The stylist intuitively knew what I wanted and what my style is; she was the first of 4 stylists that got just exactly what I envisioned. The service was top notch and the coffee was also the best coffee I’ve had in a long time!

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.

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!

I've gone twice and I was impressed with their professionalism, attention to detail, and really being patient and taking the time to listen to how I want my hair done. Exceptional service. They also have coffee or other drinks for you while you check-in and wait. They cared for my hair exactly how I want by slowing down to ask how I want it tailored each step of the way.

EXCELLENT HAIRCUT! As its always been, the haircut experience at Hair M was outstanding! Stylist Yvonne is gives an excellent haircut, shampoo & scalp massage, and is friendly and engaging, as is the entire staff. The complimentary beverages are a nice touch. The location is excellent with added bonus of dedicated parking--a rarity downtown. Enthusiastically recommended!

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.

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.

If you need a haircut, you need to go to Hair M. I have only ever had great experiences here. The staff at check in/check out are always warm and accommodating. Samantha cuts and styles my hair, does an absolutely amazing job every time, and is a lovely conversationalist. I definitely recommend Hair M (and Samantha) the next time you need your hair cut.

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!

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.

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.

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!

All the staff is really friendly. I got paired up with Julia and she was wonderful. I'm vey picky with my hair and it's length and having people cut it to short or a different style then I wanted. I'm happy to say that Julia cut my hair to my liking not to short and shaped it the way I like. Will be coming back next time I need a hair cut.

M Hair is a company that does not honor their commitments. They overbooked knowing that they won't be able to provide the services and then they try to get you to change acting like they're short. The bottom line is they over book knowing they can't provide the service. Not reliable completely unreliable for setting appointments.

Jess at Hair M is amazing. 11/10 every hair cut. She's done several different styles for my hair, every time its incredible and looks better than what I had imagined. Jess is truly skilled. I usually do straight-razor hair cuts and she is an expert with this technique, I'm always blown away how great it looks.

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!

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.

Can't say enough about the wonderful people at Hair M. Great service, excellent haircut, and always an enjoyable conversation. Friendly environment and excellent skills combined. They follow all the best Covid avoidance practices and take great care of you during your time with them. Highest recommendations!

They had a private parking lot so you don't have to pay for parking. A rare treat in Portland. Jessica cut my hair and did a great job! She really listened when I described what kind of cut I was looking for. She was friendly and easy to talk to while also being focused and concentrating on the haircut.

Ashley is always professional and friendly. Most importantly, my wife loved the haircut that I received there, and this was a challenge in that it had my first haircut since lockdown 14 months prior! I have become a regular with Ashley at HairM. I had a haircut today, and she still does a terrific job.

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.

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.

Ashley was my provider and she was the perfect blend of professional and personal. I felt comfortable talking with her, but at the same time, she efficiently moved through the process and got me out of there in less than thirty minutes for a King's Cut. Love the scalp massage! Thanks Ashley!

Ashley was great! She’s very professional and takes pride in her work. Her attention to detail is second to none, and she won’t let you leave until your completely satisfied. She holds great conversation, and has genuine interest in what you ha e to say. I will be back. Thank you Ashley K.

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.

Ashley has been wonderful, I have been going to her for years. She’s very professional and her attention to detail is great. She is easy to talk to and has genuine interest in what's going on in your life. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Ashley for the great service.

When I walked in I was greeted by Alyssa's masked smiling face! She promptly checked me in and offered me a beverage, and within minutes I was in Ashley's chair where she got me back to looking my best! The scalp massage was exactly what I needed to get through the rest of my week!

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!

This was my first professional hair cut in quite some time, and I must say Dax knocked it out of the park! Thank you so much! The girlfriend loves it and can't stop giving me googly eyes, so I think that means it's a hit. Thanks! Definitely made a local customer out of me!

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.

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.

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.

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.

This place is beyond amazing. The front desk girls are wonderful and always smiling. Tonya cuts my hair and does an incredible job everytime. Ive also had cuts by Ashley and Samantha, they are equally talented with different traits that make them fantastic.

My go-to place to get my haircut in Portland. The staff are always extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They have a variety of options that can suit anybodys needs. They work with you to make sure that you leave their place happy with your haircut.

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.

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.

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

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.

I showed up for my appointment and the scheduled stylist was sick which I understand happens but someone should have called me so I didn’t drive 45 minutes to downtown for nothing. The employee that I did talk to was very pleasant!

The facility is clean and has a good vibe. I feel pampered when I go to Hair M Portland. Samantha has been cutting my hair for years and makes good recommendations based on the time of year, shorter versus longer, etc. Thank you!

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.

Hair M is extremely professional and courteous with their customers. Their stylists are knowledgeable and talented. Their hair care products are top shelf quality. One of the best salon's for men's hair in the Portland area.

I'm embarrassed to admit I've never known what to do with my hair + face shape, and very much needed someone who knew what they were doing to 'show me the way', haha. They definitely did - my hair looks AMAZING today. +1!

Ashley was great back when I lived in Portland. She really worked to understand my style and give a great cut. She also is super easy to talk to. Ever since moving I’ve had a hard time finding a haircut that compares.

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.

Yvonne goes the extra mile and takes care of your hair until you're satisfied. She's very consistent. Even after 3 months, I can be confident I will get the same quality service and hair cut I am looking for.

Tonya has been cutting my hair for a while, and I've been going to Hair M even longer. Tonya is fantastic--always a great cut, and offers good advice on what could be changed. I couldn't really ask for more!

I've been going to this Hair M location for several years and like it's dependability for exceptional haircuts, easy scheduling, and personalized customer interaction and service. I highly recommend it.

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

Ashley has done an outstanding job styling and cutting my hair for several years. HairM has been very responsible during these COVID restrictions and always provides great service! Thank you Ashley

Jess has got a knack! At their downtown location w/ free parking, its a nice and quick break in my day. I want to send PM to some some participants >> Book online at HairM, they are open :)

Great haircutting shop! Such a kind team. They remembered me, I got a temperature check during this Age of COVID. Samantha, my cutter, is fantastic and such a nice person. Highly recommend!

When I was there over 5 years ago now, it was absolutely phenomenal. The service was top notch. It is definitely more expensive than your typical barber shop, but it is worth the price.

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!

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.

It was my first haircut there (mens). Kyle did a great job and was very friendly. The entire shop was clean and comfortable. I booked another appointment 5 weeks out before I left.

My go-to haircut place since before the pandemic hit - I've yet to get a bad haircut from them. Go for at least the King's Cut - I've never felt better after a haircut.

Yvonne was fantastic! She was so kind, and made the experience smooth and relaxing. Anytime I'm in the area and need a haircut I'm absolutely booking with her!

I had a fantastic experience with Maria cutting my hair. They were considerate of what I wanted and took great care in completing each step of the haircut

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!

Yvonne is the only person my 13 & 17 year old sons will let touch their hair. Yvonne is always professional, friendly and gives the best haircuts!

Great cut by Ashley -- one of the many talented haircutters at Hair M in Downtown Portland! I looked as good as new walking out! Thank you!!

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!

Once again Yvonne gave me an excellent haircut and was delightful to talk with. She is a superb hairdresser. I am so glad I found her.

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

Ashley is THE BEST hairstylist and overall good person in Greater Portland. Have been a satisfied customer of HairM since 2008!

I was able to schedule a same-day appointment - everything was smooth, including the cut! Will definitely be visiting again.

I love coming to Hair M, it's something I look forward to every month. Samantha does such a great job, huge shoutout to her!

Sammantha is the best. She always remembers how to cut my curly hair and our conversations pick up right where we left off.

JB’s attention to detail is awesome! He takes his time and makes sure you’re satisfied with your cut before you leave!

Had a great cut with Yvonne! Very happy with Hair M and will be back for sure to get my hair cuts and trims!

Samantha is great! Very helpful with advice on how to style your hair in addition to getting the cut right!

My first time to M. Got a haircut. Samantha did an incredible job and was very nice to interact with.

I've been going to Hair M for many many years and have not once had bad experience. Highly recommend.

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

A very pleasant experience. The stylists do a good job staying up to date on men's hair styles.

Yvonne did a wonderful job on my hair! I will return to have her cut my hair again. :)

A very professional and knowledgeable place. Yvonne was great and did an awesome job.

Best haircut I've ever had. Yvonne was amazing. Definitely coming back

Nice area, comfortable and clean cut. Best barber in town is Jordan.

King's Cut. Great service
