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.”
