Excellent, professional service! I searched Google for a salon and decided on Vanity Junkie. I called & they were able to get me in the next day for a major cut & color. I've had...

Great Salon! 9/26/2008

I recently visited the salon and received a haircut from Amanda. She did a wonderful job and I am so pleased with the way it turned out! All in all, it was a great experience and I will be returning shortly! If you are looking for a new stylist, I would definitely schedule an appointment with her! more

First of all the this salon is so great! It is so nice to be able to go after work to get my hair done by an awesome stylist (sara!!!) and be able to relax and unwind...the glass of wine doesn't hurt either! Saras been doing my hair for a while and i get nothing but compliments on it! She always makes sure that my hair is not only extremely stylish and fun but that it works well with my daily routine. ive been to many other salons and this one is the best by far Pros: beverages, movies, mags, killer cuts, awesome color.... more

LUVS IT!!! 9/3/2008

Definetly am going to tell all of my friends about this experience!\r Amazing and talented stylists, who you can tell all love what they do. I had Amanda cut and color my hair, off of a recommendation. Why was I going somewhere else? What a sweetheart, who listened to my every concern and gave me the most beautiful color, with highlights in between and fashionable cut! Something new, and I sure needed it. Check it out for yourself! Pros: beautfiul relaxing salon, talentented stylists, margarita friday, made me chuckle. Cons: did I say Margarita Friday? There obviously were none. more

Great Place 8/28/2008

I had a great experience at Vanity Junkie. Liz did a wonderful job on my hair. I had medium hair and never had it real short then I decided I will take a chance so I went to Vanity Junkie and went from medium hair to a bob and it looks great. She took her time and styled it just right. It was a very relaxing environment. I will definitely be going back :) more

Manuela is a pro! 6/9/2008

Manuela Petz at Vanity Junkie cut and styled my hair a month ago and it still looks like I just had it done! She was very attentive to my styling habits (blow-dry vs. air-dry, products vs. natural, etc.) and made sure that she gave me a cut that fit my needs. I highly recommend her. I actually had a lot of fun with her too. The salon itself was pleasant and professional. The only tricky part was finding parking. I heard it's fine though if you avoid going there around lunchtime when all the restaurants nearby fill up. Pros: professional stylists Cons: no lunchtime parking more

Vanity Junkie: Enjoy this salon as I did! 5/8/2008

I just loved the atmosphere and salon experience at Vanity Junkie. After waiting 6 long months for a hair cut, I ventured from Salem to Portland after receiving glowing recommendations from a friend. Liz didn't disappoint! The cut I received is perfect for my lifestyle...didn't get pushed into something the stylist envisioned. Liz did such a great job with my cut that I decided to let her color my roots. Good choice! My color turned out to be a perfect match and the process left my hair feeling healthy and looking shiny. Bonus: a scalp massage during hair conditioning. I left Vanity Junkie feeling so relaxed and very pleased with the results. What a great experience that I plan to repeat. Thanks again, Liz! Pros: 2 thumbs up more

The reviews are right. This place has it all! 5/8/2008

I'm absolutely in love with this charming salon. I have tried a few salons having lived in Portland for four years. None of them ""had me at hello"" except for Vanity Junkie. I read reviews on this site and was sold! First of all you walk in with a lovely greeting and recieve your drink of choice. Then I had the best consultation ever. You can tell that the staff loves what they do, and is excited about doing your hair. They ask lots of questions. Me being a new client they really wanted to know my personality and figure out what color and style would best suit me. And boy, were they right on! I love my highlights and cut, and have never been complimented more. more

Awesome atmosphere and Stellar customer service 4/20/2008

First of all I'm a guy, and Liz was the first stylist I ever went to. She is amazing! I found Liz and a previous salon, and followed her over to Vanity Junkie and am very very happy I did. She takes the time to be very meticulous and she really does enjoy what she does, which makes the atmosphere so relaxing. I do have to say that my most favorite part of the hair cut is when she massages my scalp with the conditioner - so relaxing. I highly recommend Vanity Junkie, and if you can get Liz to cut your hair do it, but I am sure everyone there is just as great. My wife also had Liz color and style her hair and she absolutely loved it. more

Natural Red-head turned Blond... 4/16/2008

...all thanks to Sara, who did an amazing job on my color. I'd been waiting for some time to go as platinum blond as possible, searching for the right place - after all, it's hard to color over red. I took a chance on this one and I'm certainly not disappointed. At Sara's suggestion, the process was done in two sessions (and at very reasonable prices), saving my hair from a world of bleach damage. The unconventional decor, complete with purple textured walls, fuchsia drapes, and enormous ""tarnished-silver"" (looking) framed mirrors, and mirrored dressers and drawers comes together smashingly. The lighting at Vanity Junkie is soft, bright, and doesn't make you look inhuman like those ill-placed or horrendous fluorescent lights at some salons. I will definitely go back to Sara for my hair care, and I highly recommend you check out Vanity Junkie for yourself. more

Liz is great....Vanity Junkie is the place! 4/9/2008

Liz has been doing my color for a while and just recently moved to Vanity Junkie. I followed her and am so happy I did! She's always done such a great job on my hair. She keeps it looking healthy and shiney, and takes care of my pesky greys. She really listens to what you want and is sweet to boot. \r Vanity Junkie is the most adorable salon in possibly all of Portland. I probobly never would have found it if Liz hadn't sent me her card. I am writing this review with five stars in complete confidence that you will love it! Pros: really relaxing Cons: leave a little earlier. might have come at a busy time but still found parking. more

Hottest full service salon in town! 3/31/2008

Sara and Jen, the owners, are the most talented and creative people in the business. Vanity Junkie is hip, fun and lively. All the staff is awesome. You can get everything done there... facials( love the Eminance organic products that Jen uses), waxing, pedicures, eyelash extensions, make up applications, hair cut, color weave, the works. Great hours too! Close in SE location is awesome. Truely, the best service I have received in all of my years in PDX. Plus, these guys are into giving back to the community. For the last two years they have collected Teddy Bears for the local fire station to give to needy children in the area. Pros: Location, ambiance, service, skill more

Portland's best salon! 3/24/2008

I've been going to Vanity Junkie for a little over a year now. I highly recommend it. Not only do I recommend it for the stunning highlights and cut that I receive but I recommend it for the relaxing feel the salon creates. I relax by reading up on the latest magazines while drinking my glass of wine. ahhh, what a nice get away!\r I have always asked for natural looking highlights, I get two different shades of blonde weaved in. I have never been happier. You will love this place. Pros: always satisfied. Cons: no answer more

My new fave!!!! 3/21/2008

.....After going to the same salon for a while and getting the same ""mom bob"" I came across a lady in the super market that had fabulous hair! I had to ask her where she got it done and she said ""Vanity Junkie"".....and raved about how she loves it there! I knew I had to give it a try....and am so glad I did! I Love my hair cut!! I have never had a razor cut and did not realize that that was the one thing in life that I had been missing. The cut was meant for my face shape and I cannot believe the compliments I have been getting. I am just thrilled! I found my new spot and am happy to say.......No more searching for me! Pros: a fabulous glass of wine Cons: can't think of one! more

Best Organic Skincare 3/12/2008

The Emminence products used in the facial i recieved where awsome! I acutally wanted to eat the stuff it smells so good! Their ingredients are organic and hand harvested. The salon is very hip and relaxing. The service was excellent. Waxing was quick and ultra smooth with a soy based product. Can't wait to return for customized mineral makeup. Thanks Jenny. Pros: atmosphere,products and customer care Cons: didnt find this salon sooner more

Junkies Rock! 3/2/2008

My wife talked me into going into her salon for a cut and while i usually feel a bit out of place in a salon,Vanity Junkie blew me away.It was very relaxing to have a complimentory beverage(i had a Mirror Pond) at the bar and during the short wait i had there was a movie on the 42' plazma which i thought was a very nice touch.On the warmer days there is garage door they open so you can check out the hawthorne activity.also very cool.Being a guy,it's nice to know i can get a great cut for a reasonable price and not feel uncomfortable in a salon.I will definitely be going back. more
