I moved back to Maine nine years ago and began researching a salon that was cutting edge and offered a sophisticated environment, not the noisy do-it-all salon that seems to have ...

I went to this salon and liked what Dathan did with color. Very professional. The next month I had to cancel due to snow, and when i canceled I was told that the next appointme...

Marie is awesome! 11/12/2010

I've never written a review on here, but after my 2nd visit with Marie at Dathan Hunter, I just had to. I've been on the search for a great stylist since I moved to the east coast in 2005. I've tried about 1/2 the salons in Boston and a couple here in Portland --- finally, I've found a stylist that gets it. Marie is super fun, does great color and is a pro with the scissors. She actually listens too! This is the first time in 5+ years that I've actually booked follow up appointments in advance --- and it's because she's that great. more

Great salon, I saw marie for my cut and color and she did a amazing job. The color is so edgy and modern I am in total love. The cut it exactly what I wanted and no one else I have gone to has ever been able to do this for me, She is so friendly and professional and really knows what she is talking about, Cannot wait to go back! more

5 Star Perfection 8/27/2010

Just had my first haircut meticulously cut by Dathan. I have tough hair: Straight, fine, thick and a white blonde where, if not cut correctly, you notice every mistake. Also, I wear it in a Sassoon style asymetrical but feminine and with sharp angles. Dathan cut it to perfection and with precision. Anyone, in my opinion can cut long hair; it's the short, precision styles which only a stylist with a 'good eye' for the individual's facial structure, hair texture and life style can accomplish. I am very active and need a style which I blow out and scrunch with my fingers - this all was accomplished, plus Dathan is exceedingly interesting to talk with and will listen to your suggestions but also do what he feels is best. The staff is very friendly, customer oriented and knowledgable about the hair products they sell. FINALLY, I have found a stylist who presented me with the slightly edgy, yet feminine look for my face and lifestyle. The hair cut also look well when wearing a ball cap! Thanks, Dathan. more

salon 7/3/2010

I moved to Maine 9 months ago and have had a hard time finding a salon. This salon is the first to understand my hair. My curls can be difficult to cut, and my color needed to be fixed. They really did a good job and really took their time with me. Thank goodness. Pros: good haircut and color more

Excellent color:] 1/8/2009

I have been a client of Kristina for years now, and she's amazing. She has definitely mastered the art coloring and is awesome with cutting too. I tend to change my mind a lot, and from classic coloring and cut to something a little more funky, she has it down. I always love my hair when I walk out their door. She is very reasonable with her pricing as well which is an added bonus! I just want to sing her praises, from a loyal client offering advice to new people looking for an amazing stylist! :] Pros: Pricing Cons: Parking more

Amazing Haircut and Customer Service! 11/22/2008

I went to this salon based on the excellent reviews on this site. I had a little trouble finding parking, but showed up early enough where it wasn't a problem for me. I saw Dathan, who was very warm and friendly. He gives an amazing scalp massage while shampooing your hair! He took his time with my cut, focusing on getting it perfect. I didn't feel rushed at all, and he did an amazing job. I will definitely be going back in 6 weeks! Pros: Friendly, upscale, sophisticated, cozy Cons: Parking more

Best Haircut In A Long Time 10/3/2008

I would like to say ""Thank you Dathan Hunter Salon!"" I saw Laura today for a cut and she totally restored my faith in the skill and quality of haircuts in Southern Maine. She was friendly and really listed to what I wanted. I was a bit skeptic when I walked in because of past experiences but it was a very pleasant experience. I can't wait to try on my new hair color to match my great cut! I can?t wait to tell all of my friends. Thank you. Cons: In the old port by I found a parking space easily more

Amazing Talent in All Areas... 9/29/2008

I first got in with Dathan since he was recommended to me. I have to say I loved my hair and he was willing to take the process slowly while I decided what I wanted. That made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Then later on I went to see Jules, she specializes in extentions, which I talked to her about. Then she put in the hair very nicely with a super cute cut too. I love them!! It was odd to see my hair so long at first but after a week or so it felt as if I always had them! When I went to get my hair colored again I had a limited schedule to try to be fit in with Dathan. So, I tried Kristina a sytlist who has many years of experience and just started working at the salon again. I have to admit I'm HOOKED!!! She is very comfortable with different techniques, very friendly, and professional. I don't think I've ever come to a salon that has such talent in all areas with all stylist I've been to! I had to share in spreading the news. Pros: Friendly and Professional Cons: Parking more

Hollywood ROCKS!! 10/15/2007

Holly does my hair and it has never looked this good. I have been to several other ""high-end"" salons in Portland, but I have never experienced the consistently fantastic results I get every time I go there. I am overwhelmed with compliments on my hair, especially the color and have referred more than a few people to go there. more

Highly Recommended 9/8/2007

I decided it was time for a change from the hair color I had all my life to something cute and fun. The owner, Dathan, did my color and cut and was very good about talking to me thoroughlyabout what I wanted for my new color. While he was doing my hair he was professional while engaging me in fun, relaxed conversation. I was very impressed with his knowledge on cutting curly hair and actualy giving it a little shape! The end result was beautiful, I love my new color. I really enjoyed my expierence at thissalon. I reccomend it to someone looking for a high quality, up-scale location with great customer service and an enviroment which makes you feel welcomed and comfortable. more
