Hair Etc Portland Maine

"After trying several salons in Portland and Midcoast Maine, I finally found a stylist who truly understands Asian hair. My hair is thick, dark, and challenging to color, and I also needed gray root coverage. In the past, I’ve struggled to find someone who could create natural-looking color without brassiness while maintaining the health and integrity of my hair. I am absolutely thrilled with my results at Hair Etc. The gray coverage is seamless, the color is rich and dimensional, and the highlights add beautiful movement without looking overdone. My hair feels healthy, shiny, and soft, and the cut works perfectly with my hair texture. Most importantly, I felt heard. My stylist, Kong took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. If you have Asian hair and have had difficulty finding a stylist who understands your hair texture and color needs, I highly recommend Hair Etc."

"As a Chinese-American bride, it was important for me to have an Asian HMU artist who understood how to work with my skin and hair. And as someone who doesn't wear makeup often, I wanted to look like and feel like myself on my wedding day so it was important for me to have a HMU artist who can achieve that. Kong was the perfect HMU artist, going above and beyond. She truly listened to what I wanted, while still providing her professional expertise (which is what I needed as someone who is indecisive and inexperienced). By the end of my trial, I knew I had picked the right person and felt complete confidence in her work. On my wedding day, I looked and felt both beautiful and myself. And my bridal party looked just as good. However, beyond just doing a great job on our hair and makeup, what I appreciated most is the energy that Kong brought. She is hilarious, honest and fun. She took the time to connect with me and I felt not only trust in her as a HMU artist, but as a person. In my opinion, wedding planning can be stressful and overwhelming, so surrounding yourself with good, supportive people throughout the process / on the day of can really make a difference. I'm so grateful I got to have Kong on my team."

"I have been going to Kong for years. She is absolutely wonderful and incredibly talented. She does my color and cut/style and always works with me to make sure I look my best. I wish there was a 10 option! She is the best!"
