I recently received a complete transformation from Alex at Chrome! I was able to get a same day appointment which was amazing! He is by far the BEST barber/hairstylist i have ever encountered! He is very professional, patient and over all a great dude! He asked me every step of the way how i wanted my hair to be cut. His attention to detail is mind blowing! I have received countless compliments on my new hair style! And has been asked who and where did i get it done at! I have recommend Alex to everybody who has even mentioned my hair cut! And he is the only person I am going to let cut my hair from now on! I just want to send a HUGE shout out to alex and chrome and say thank you!
Honestly this is the best barber ive been to bar none. Everyone is super willing to work with you and theyre definitely skilled at what they do. Ive been going dor 2 years and I will be until im out of PDX
Thank you for fixing up my husbands face and hair! I explained to my husband that I love him but I can’t see his face anymore. He wears his hair in a samurai bun, shaved to a No.1 along the sides. They edged him up perfectly. Great price at $20.Called at 3:15 and booked a same day appointment at 3:30.Upstairs they have a pool table and darts. They offer beer so we went up and played a game of pool and finished off our beer.These barbers know what they are doing and they really care about you. Overhearing conversations, they do a good job remembering details.Excellent selection of products to take home, displayed beautifully.
I had my haircut by Ginger who is complete angel and truly talented hair stylist! They were on time, personable, communicative, efficient, and above all demonstrated a strong technical proficiency in their craft leaving me feeling confident about my appearance. I have incredibly thick straight hair (that stylists often don’t know how to work with) and they maneuvered it with finesse! Highly recommend getting your hair done by them, you won’t be disappointed!
Ginger has consistently given me the BEST haircuts I have ever had!!Usually if I don’t get my haircut every 4 weeks, I really start looking scraggly. But Ginger has given me such good quality cuts that my hair grows evenly and looks good for 6-8 weeks, if I need to!! They takes their time to give a great cut every time and doesn’t make me feel rushed thru my haircut.They are responsive to questions/concerns and is fun to talk to. I definitely recommend them strongly!!
One of their stylists Ginger, does amazing work whenever I have them cut my hair. They always make sure to do a detailed job. It’s the type of hair cut that will looks good on you even as it starts to grow back out. I would highly recommend Ginger for people that want a good reliable stylist.
Ginger is my go to from now on, I typically have a hard time trusting and communicating how I would like my hair done. Ginger does an amazing job at listening and following exactly what you want, while providing amazing customer service and interesting conversations. But if I want to doze off in the chair while they do their magic that’s also okay too which I highly appreciate, thank you ginger for an awesome new cut and some new confidence!
Just got one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had from Ginger! They were super professional, understanding, attentive. You can really tell that they care about their work. Lucky me! Highly recommend.
Kyle was great! He paid close attention to detail; asked clarifying questions to make sure I got exactly what I had in mind; friendly guy who knows how to cut hair. I’ll definitely be back again. Thanks Chrome and Kyle 🖤
Ginger is a wonder to work with - always sweet and professional. Ive gotten a few cuts from them, and they make you feel comfortable and listened to and know how to work with your ideas to make you feel cute and confident again! If youre in need of a trim, a longer cut, or whole new do, they got you covered!
Cara gave me possibly the best cut and blow out Ive ever had! As a black person, I often struggle with finding stylists that are comfortable with extra coily textured hair. Cara did an AMAZING job being delicate while round brushing my fragile curls, gave me a much needed trim, and styled it to perfection! Thanks to Chrome for making me feel welcome!
Ginger is now my go to person for my hair, they have given me the best salon experience I’ve ever had! I’m usually so nervous before getting my hair done due to past experiences not going well, but Ginger takes the time to understand exactly what style I’m going for which I really appreciate. I also love the fun convos we have and their ability to understand sometimes I don’t want to talk the entiireee appointment. You know what I mean?
Great place for a haircut! Ginger was great to chat with and had a great attention to detail that made for a great cut!
Sincerely the best haircut Ive ever had. I went in pretty open minded (hadnt had a cut in quite a while) and was very much impressed. Ill be sure to remember the name of my stylist and update but he effortlessly knew how to make curly hair look great. Frankly, I feel like a new person. Ill be back.It was $30, but being honest and having seen the results, Id have paid much more. Ive never said that before, but I absolutely mean it.SO, someone actually said to me today that they really liked my hair cut, and it got me thinking. I really do, too and thats a first.
Love this place, conveniently placed, talented stylists, midrange prices, a few brewskies on hand and a Starbucks next door in you need a coffee. A pleasant, and friendly atmosphere and simple clean layout.
I can say all the great things you hear about the place are true. The staff were friendly and inviting. The shop could use a little bit of a deep clean but was still nice. The straight razor head shave I received was one of the best of my life. The only negative i can say is i booked an appointment with a different person but they ended up changing it to someone else with out letting me know before hand.
Got a great haircut with Carlos. Been traveling around in different cities every month and Carlos gave me by far the best cut in months. He understood exactly what I was looking for and had great conversation along the way. Also, the place is chill and not super pretentious like so many other nouveau barber shops. Super easy to book online and the price came in at a great value. Thanks Carlos! Highly recommend, and would definitely go back if Im back in town.
Geovanny is my go to barber, and I dont feel comfortable going to anyone else. The service he provides is top-notch, personable, and hes a talented individual. I highly recommend consulting him on any hair decisions, because he has a great perspective on what will look good on you. I should also mention this place has beer for while you wait or during your haircut. Go pay these people a visit, and tell em Mo sent you.
Extremely friendly front staff does not make up for making me wait 35 minutes to get a terrible haircut from someone who I’m not sure has ever cut hair before. I left and noticed all the hair around my ears was uncut so I looked like a hobbit. Apparently I was waiting so long because the stylist was practicing cutting hair on someone else. I’m sure there are lots of talented people there. Too bad I didn’t get to see any of them. As I was taking a beard trimmer to my head later that day, I decided I wouldn’t be returning there ever again.
Kyle gave me a sharp and attentive fade and exactly what I had asked for. Very good haircut! It’s a little on the pricey side but plan on grabbing a free beer.
Best barber in Oregon, CARLOS! Really reccomend getting your cut with him. I got the straight razor for the first time and Ill never not get my haircut this way again. Glad I put my trust in him before my wedding. Definitely directing everyone I know to him! Thanks man
Was in town for a business trip and easily booked online while I was on the light rail from the airport. Kyle did a great job and respected my need to close my eyes and meditate, without pushing a conversation yet not afraid to let me know when/where to move my head to get the best job done. Very satisfied.
Barber shop look, salon feel.Unenthusiastic staff; my stylist didnt communicate with me enough at each step and kinda went with what she thought even though shes been doing it for several years.Didnt use barber techniques like the classic strait razor line up finish, and didnt properly fade to skin like I asked for.Was definitely expecting more.Service: 4*Quality: 2*Price: 3*Satisfaction: 2-3*Overall: three stars, and thats being nice.
Carlos gave a great haircut. Asked questions and understood exactly what I wanted. Took the time and care to make sure I had a good cut. Great job!
1) Rebecca was wonderful. Made me feel right at home and gave a great haircut.2) The rest of the staff seemed to genuinely like each other and the banter back and forth made for a nice atmosphere.3) Pool table upstairs! Get there a bit early, grab a beer, head up and shoot some pool.4) Very convenient location for those of us coming from the east side. Hop, skip, and a jump over the bridge. Parking has never been a problem.
Came in on a weekday night after making an apt. Stylist was ready to go and gave me a rocking cut! In and out in about 20 min and am looking good.
Firstly, i would like to say that I originally booked my hair appointment for a Wednesday, and when the barber was not available, they called me right away and offered to have me come in the next day, Thursday. I was so happy that they didnt wait until the last minute to inform me that the barber was out sick.Secondly, when I went to my appointment with Carlos on Thursday, I was SO IMPRESSED with my end result. When I sat in his chair, he asked what I wanted. I explained how I would like my hair done. He was so patient. He took him time and it was only about 40 minutes, but my end result looked like he took a lot longer. Im not much of a talker in the chair, as I like my hair appointments to be a time for me, and he didnt push conversation. The moments he asked me a question, he had a very soothing voice.I would definitely recommend Carlos for anyones hair appointment. Ive finally found a quality barber who just does a fantastic job.
Great service from friendly and skilled stylists. Cissy rocks!! Will definitely come back next time I’m in town
The team went above and beyond for me, I was in dire need of a cut and they got me in and gave me a swell cut to boot! Thank you staff at Y Chrome! Even during the hectic holidaze. Great customer service!
Not too expensive, great chat, a decent cut and some excellent service. Will be back next time I am in Portland.
Got a nice shave there today. Be sure to go online and make a reservation.
Ive always loved this place. Beer and pool, easygoing atmosphere, but most of all, barbers that listen and take the time to give you the best cut. Just got my hair cut by Shannon and I must say this is the best haircut Ive had in a year. If you need a haircut, dont even hesitate, just get your butt down to Y Chrome and see what a real cut feels like. The folks here are top notch and above, but ask for Shannon!
I dont think Ill ever come back the guy cutting my hair kept checking his phone and looking over at the computer screen to see who was next never offered me a drink or anything. My hair cut was prepaid as was the tip treated that way and to boot he didnt trim my beard straight 😞I have received a call from the management to apologize for my service Ive agreed to give them a second chance hopefully its going to be better next time I will give my final opinion after the New Year 😎
Cuts are not always perfect but most of the time they do good
When your beard needs a styling look or a shave and your mane needs a trim, get a manly cut at Y Chrome. Beer, pool and music while you wait, and the personal services the modern man craves. $28 for a cut, which includes shaving your neck with hot lather. Pool and darts upstairs -- ask for darts and pool cue when you check in, and grab a free beer from the fridge. $5 birthday haircut discount.
I try to stop by for my monthly hair cut. Grab a beer while you wait and most of the barbers Ive had are pretty easy going and friendly. They seem to let me be quiet if I like or will chat with me if Im feeling more social. On the off occasion where the cut isnt quite what you expected the next day, theyve been good about getting me a quick trim to fix it.
I had my appointment with Bryan. I showed Bryan a photo of a fade I had awhile ago and they recreated it. Always love coming to this place!
I meant to give this place 5 stars, looks like I initially gave 3 by mistake. I have been a customer for few years now and always go to Connor. He does a great job and am very happy every time.
First razor fade for me, and I couldnt have had a better experience. If you want the best cut youve ever had, ask for Carlos!
Ive been going to yChrome for years. Logan and company are the best. The prices are reasonable and their staff is very friendly and so cool. Great cuts at great prices and prof razor shaves. Love it
Great place for a awesome haircut. Friendly staff. I look forward to my next haircut
Fun, casual, calm and cool barbershop!! Fresh haircuts, cold beer, great staff, atmosphere, pool table and many more amazing qualities!! Definitely worth checking out
If youre a guy whos wanting to look good with your hairstyle, this is the place to go. Ive been visiting this place for over 3 years and Ive never left there unsatisfied. Great atmosphere, and even better people. Id give this more stars if that was possible.
I found Y-chrome by chance. We were downtown and I needed a haircut, my wife did her Google thing and we found Y-chrome. Geo gave me the most amazing haircut & neck shave.... Mr Geovanny is the best! the folks their are so friendly and professional. I now make an appointment every month with Geo. My wife and I drive down from Longview to make a day of getting my haircut every month.
I enjoy this place. Its fun people watching as you sit in the chair. Usually the barbers dont force conversation on you if you seem to not really want to talk. Too bad I dont drink beer anymore as its available gratis. They do have coffee, tea and Keurig. I think there is a pool table and darts upstairs but that would require me to stay longer and climb some stairs.
Always a great cut and friendly staff! Comfortable atmosphere, overall great experience. Grab a beer while you sit or shoot some pool upstairs while you wait.
Love this place! My new hometown barbershop! The staff is excellent and very friendly. I have got great cuts there every time! I love that I can relax with a beer while getting a cut. Thank you, Y-Chrome!!!
Just moved here and it feels good to know I have a reliable barber
I went in and I got a horrible fade. The woman I booked with is named Sharon, seemed somewhat unconfident with cutting my hair. Left my hair super patchy and left the place unsatisfied. I’m sure she tried her best but maybe giving a fade haircut isn’t really her thing.
This place focuses more on being trendy than they do on providing good haircuts. I think the only requirement they have for employment is that you need to have tattoos. The front desk guy checking people in was a jerk but he looked like a typical Portland hipster so I guess thats all the company cares about.
Great experience with the barber Conner/Connor. Making this location and barber my go to. Havent had an issue with making an appointment or anything of that sort. If you call like a dumb person before or after hours, of course it will ask for you to use the online service.Again, great experience, beer, pool and cool guys.
Big shoutout to Brielle! Best haircut Ive gotten in a long time. I went in without a super clear idea of what I wanted and was planning on putting some faith into her ability and let her steer the way. she absolutely crushed it! Brielle knows what shes doing!
Brilliant little shop with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. If you want a quality haircut or shave, head over, have a beer, play some pool and chat while you wait. Youll walk out with what you wanted and instructions on how to keep it styled properly.
Hope you enjoy waiting, I love when I can make an appointment for a haircut. Makes it easier to go on my lunch hour from work or simply plan my weekend knowing I do not have to fill out a sign in sheet and wait. In theory you should be seen when you walk in for your appointment in reality Y Chrome does not seem to understand this. If a person makes a 12:15 appointment it should not be well after 12:35 and being ignored and having 2 people go ahead of me I decided to ask when I would be seen. I got a reply of we are working on it and walked away. At this point my lunch was now over and I have been waiting and killed my lunch hour with no haircut and had to leave.Note: I have been here many times and always seem to wait, but they do a great job cutting hair, the problem is finding someone that wants to even if you have an appointment.
This is twice in a row now that I can say this was the best haircut Ive ever had. Rebecca is fantastic - - I highly recommend her for a haircut. The atmosphere is great and laid back and the space is very cool.
Thee most amazing best barber shop in PDX! Definitely my to go place from now on. check it out! very good service amazing ppl and very Good hair cuts! And the most important thing is that they take care of your Beard!
The staff is really friendly and they all do a really good job! They really help with styling advice as well and they always have cold beer available while you wait. I havent been upstairs but I hear theres a pool table as well.
Jessie is the best person Ive ever had cut my hair. Always consistent and has a great attitude. I recommend this place to all my male buddies.
Probably the best haircut I have ever had. Very attentive and detailed. You if want perfection...look no further!
This is my Portland barbershop. Everything you need and want, nothing you dont. I love the little extras they give at no charge. Olivia always does a great job!
Solid hair cut spot for dudes! The stylists are nice & theyre good about same day bookings. Its a less done-up sister shop to Hair M, and it excels at being just that; less frills but a Hugh quality cut and/or shave.
Really great care and service. My only caution was the price quoted over the phone was not the same price the barber asked for after my shave. She did such a great job i paid w/o comment BUT it was double....
Amazing atmosphere, Logan has been cutting my hair for 7 years now and does an incredible job with his attention to detail and always being up-to-date on the styles. I highly suggest trying him out!
Fancy, shiny, modern, clean, high end. A little frilly and expensive though. No complaints about the staff or the haircuts, just gets pricey when you get a cut every 2-3 weeks like I do.
Nice barbershop downtown. A little expensive, and the beers they serve are typically expired (you get a bottle of beer or water during your cut), but Ill keep visiting because one of the gals has been cutting my hair for years and she does a great job.
Professional - always willing to make it right!
Got a great cut. Quick and good price. Olivia was really friendly and knew exactly what I wanted.
Came here because of a Google Offer I bought. They were nice and friendly, and did a very good and fast job. The haircut was decent, and the guy was nice and polite the whole time.
Great service. Easy online appointment set up. Got a great cut, Ill be heading back soon.
Brielle was great!im not typically a big fan of haircuts. i tend to grow my hair for a while and then buzz it all off myself. on a bit of a whim (and after some urging from my wife) i decided to get a real portland haircut after over 4 years of growing out my hair.Brielle was patient with me as i tried to articulate what i thought i maybe wanted. she made the process easy and fun. She took the time to trim my beard all nice as well.I got a great cut that im still getting compliments on a few weeks later.ill definitely be back... probably even sooner than 4 years from now.;-)
Clean, professional and super cool! My boy Kyle has some mad skills. Do recommend!
Its definitely a barber shop with a somewhat elitist hipster vibe. Ive been four times but never left thinking, damn...that was a great haircut. Although, take this review with a grain of salt - Im extremely picky when it comes to haircuts.
Kourtney cuts my hair on a regular basis and does a fantastic job. If Im wanting the same ol cut, she gets it done, if Im wanting to change it up a bit she never fails to get it right. Y Chrome is just a really friendly and pleasant place to be and I always enjoy coming in to get my hair done. I would DEFINITELY recommend this place to anyone who wants a great hair cut.
Cissy gave me one of the best haircuts I have ever had!! Highly recommend!!!
There was a great Yelp deal on when I went, but itd be a little pricey for me at the going rates. That said, the cut was good... Just looking for a little less of a haircutting experience and more of a haircut.
They were good. They dont take Groupon deals.
Great place with great people. Quick and super freindly.
Great place better and a bit cheaper than the others of its type, modern man and vital, somewhat nearby. Their online reservation system could use some work but still nice.
A decent spot if you are downtown and need a haircut. Complimentary beer selection.
Reasonably priced, and great service.
I initially went to Y-Chrome just because of its proximity to my office, but theyve since become my go-to for a haircut in Portland. Kyle Helstein is talented and does such a great cut.
Great place to sit down and have a beer and get your hair cut, I havent been up stairs to the pool table yet, but its there none-the-less. Ive been here 3 times, 2 haircuts were decent, one was downright horrible. Personally, Ill probably stick to their sister-shop (Hair-M) in Beaverton from now on, to avoid the Portland traffic.
Good location, great staff and reasonable rates. Ive been coming here for five plus years and have never had a bad experience.
Best place for a men’s haircut. Jesse is the best but Neo does a wicked doo as well. Refreshments! Always busy so book online. Front desk is super busy but friendly.Update.Keep coming here.
This place is great! I always get a consistently good cut, regardless of of who is the stylist, but Jessie has been the best for me. She always gets it right.
Walked in off the street and got a nice coffee while they cut my hair. Good overall experince...
Been a client of Y-Chrome since 2013 and it is a great barbershop. Good atmosphere, complimentary beer, and friendly staff.
Great place for a cut! Friendly people, fair price, they offer beer or coffee or water!
Best haircuts in Portland hands down. Logan, Brittany, Ronnie, Gio, and everyone else there are so talented and personable. Its never a boring haircut while you enjoy a brewski unless of course, youre boring. Its been two years that Ive been coming here and I will never go anywhere else.
Great haircut, friendly atmosphere. Professional and efficient, Logan gives a great cut. Highly recommend it!
Excellent barber. Been going here for four years and never had a bad experience or a bad haircut. I highly recommend this place.
Wonderful barber shop, run by women. I would much rather have an awakward conversation with a woman then some old man. Plus they do the job right.
Ask for Carlos, I get a simple cut .5 faded up to a 2 Long on top but the dude kills it every time. I won’t let anyone else touch my hair other then Carlos, dude is legit.
Friendly service, great prices and an excellent haircut.
The person cutting my hair was super nice, and she did a really good job. I will definitely come back.
Tight on scheduling. Nice spot though.
I am headed back to Portland after a few years away and Im really look forward to getting back in touch with Y-Chrome. I was getting cut by Logan who is great at giving you the cut you ask for, or offering suggestions.
Fantastic spot for a haircut or a beard trim! Very friendly, and got me in right away.
Awesome! Super friendly and a great service. My shave was like being kissed by kittens.
