The artists
Holly Browne
Holly has been mastering her craft in her native city of Portland for 13 years. She has a careful listening ear and a gift for intuiting the right hair design for her guests. She has enjoyed a colorful variety of advanced training in hair design, and at the same time, her best source of inspiration for new looks and techniques has always been her own experiences and organic approach.
Her current focus is lived-in dimensional color, textured cuts, and warm tones that glow. Outside of the salon, you’ll find her rock climbing, reading mystical and esoteric books, or working on a new interior design project for her home.
Founder & Hair Designer
Elena Janis
Elena has worked in the beauty industry for just about a decade - with over 7 years of experience behind the chair! She has trained with multiple brands in several cities across the country and has been styling in Portland since 2020. Her specialties include shear and razor cutting mid to long lengths, natural, low maintenance balayage looks, and any type of fringe! She also has an eye for gentleman’s grooming. She’s currently inspired by the glam layered cuts and blowouts of the 90’s, subtly enhanced soft brunette shades, and curtain bangs! When she’s not in the salon, you can find Elena hosting dinner parties for friends, singing karaoke, or at the river with her dog, Baby.
