a stylist giving a haircut and style at a salon in bangor maine Located on the west bank of the Penobscot River, Bangor is a former timber mecca that is now among the ranks of destination cities in Maine.

And whether you’re visiting the Queen City for a vacation, a Stephen King tour, or perhaps are considering relocating to the Bangor area, it’s always good to know your available options for consumer services.

Being the third-largest city in the state means folks come from all over the northern, eastern, and central portions of Maine for many of their day-to-day needs—like getting a haircut, for example.

As evidenced in the list below, if you’re in Bangor, there’s no need to travel far if you need a stylish new look.

Déjà Vu Salon

Many salons are transitioning to individual stylist booth/chair rentals (independent contractors, each with their own pricing); Déjà Vu is one of these establishments.

In addition to offering a full line of hair services (color, perms, styling, cuts, updos), Déjà Vu also has waxing, tanning, manicures, pedicures, and more for men, women, and kids.

Specialties include fun and funky cuts and dye jobs (think undercuts, rainbow, neon, and stripes); folks that have been coming here for years now bring in their own children.

The Noble Root Salon

An Aveda salon, The Noble Root’s stylists work on a tiered system, one in which each person’s pricing is based on experience.

The stylists at Noble Root are all about hair—and they do it well here; the service menu includes cutting, styling, deep hair conditioning treatments and masques, extensions, lightening, and coloring—all using Aveda’s top-quality products, of course, including their 96% naturally-derived, full-spectrum hair color.

If you’ve never been to the Noble Root Salon, be aware you’ll probably have to be patient to get an appointment; this is a popular spot. Also notable: Kids under 12 aren’t permitted unless they have an appointment for service.

Salon 241

This gorgeous, full-service salon is housed in a grand, mid-1800s Victorian home and welcomes folks of all ages. The owner has over four decades of experience, and opened Salon 241 in 2003; here, you can directly book with your stylist of choice—or try for a walk-in appointment, which is also welcomed.

Hair services include cuts, color, styling, perms, and updos; a full array of waxing, nail, and makeup treatments are also on offer at Salon 241.

Bangor Hair Company

This is another salon that permits customers to make hair appointments directly through their chosen stylist rather than a receptionist—a time-saver for everyone involved. Almost all of the services here are hair-centric, although there are lash extensions, as well.

Cuts, colors, and updos are all on offer here for reasonable rates; wedding parties are a salon specialty. Pro tip: If you’re interested in booking the Bangor Hair team for your big day, do it as early as possible—wedding seasons book up very quickly.

Headlines

This is another shop where all of the stylists rent their space within the salon—which means the prices and schedules will differ from chair to chair, so to speak. This is a bonus for you as a customer because you’ll be dealing directly with your chosen stylist when booking your appointments.

The salon is bright, spacious, and chic, and while the service options differ from stylist to stylist, you can peruse their specialties on the Headlines website to see which person would be the best fit for your hair needs. There is also a nail technician on site as well as an aesthetician for makeup services.

Shear Attraction Salon

Shear Attraction is a full-service salon that accepts walk-ins when possible—but it is recommended that you make an appointment, to be sure you get the best stylist for your needs.

Prices for services here are very reasonable—less than most other salons in the area—and the offerings include men’s and women’s cuts, styling, perms, color, foils, and keratin treatments. Waxing services are also available, and wedding party packages—at the salon or on location—are also on offer.

Shear Haven

When you focus on one thing and one thing only, you’re bound to be good at it. Shear Haven is strictly a hair studio—no nail services, no tanning, no massages—which is why they are so popular.
