Advanced Artistic Designer

Alisa

Alisa hails from Dallas, Texas, bringing with her a passion for hair and a love for all things y’all-ternative. With over a decade behind the chair, she’s cultivated a deep love for Kerasilk Smoothing Treatments, curly cuts (specializing in 2A–3C textures), meticulously placed highlights, and yes—there’s still something deeply satisfying about a root touch-up and trim.

“As a stylist, I believe luxury is personal—it’s not just about looking good, but feeling seen, heard, and cared for. Whether you're coming in for a full transformation or a moment of calm in a busy week, my goal is to create an experience that’s tailored, intentional, and all about you.

Inside the salon, I care about healthy hair, gabbing with my clients, and making you feel amazing. Outside the salon I care about exploring the PNW with my partner and our two small kids, finding the best latte in the area, and planning our next trip.”
— Alisa

“Charlene is a true master! I moved from Seattle 4 years ago. I have been driving back for my haircuts ever since. I have curly hair and have been enjoying keeping it natural. I finally decided it was time to find a local stylist. I took a chance (Googled) on a “curly-girl” specialist. Halo Designs came out on top. I truly got lucky and booked with Charlene. I was very nervous. After a brief consultation, wash and condition, she sat down next to me and began to sculpt with complete precision. She’s an artist! I love my hair. It’s beautiful. Thank you!”
