Arlet McQueen
Stylist
Arlet has been in the hair industry for 39 years. He has lived in Oregon his entire life and knew from a very young age that he wanted to be a hairstylist. He has many long-term clients and developed some wonderful relationships throughout his career. His favorite part of the job is making clients feel good about themselves whether with fresh highlights, extensions or a clean haircut.
Arlet is behind the chair Wednesday through Friday and has a mostly full schedule. He is more than happy to take new clients on if schedules align. Away from the salon, he enjoys movies, the sun decorating, and a good dessert.
Tina Karkkainen
Stylist
She enjoys and is highly experienced in cutting all types of hair from extremely curly or wavy hair to very fine hair. She has a passion for color, doing fine tight blond weaves or finding a perfect shade for all over color. She also loves to brighten things up with vivid rainbow colors. If you want more texture with curls, you will definitely want to see Tina. She is highly trained in all types of perming from dimensional waves to long hair spiral perms.
When she is not behind the chair, she loves exploring new areas with her family like camping, and theme parks. She also enjoys being home doing home remodeling or spending time in her garden with her two dogs and many kitties.

Kasandra Wood
Stylist
Kasandra was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma and relocated to Portland in 2022. She has been a licensed hairstylist for 10+ years.
She was inspired at young age by fashion magazines. The celebrity styles, hair, and makeup created a spark in her and it became her passion to one day be a part of the beauty industry. She was drawn towards the opportunity to connect with people and to help them feel confident and beautiful through becoming a hairstylist. From a young girl who was cutting her Barbie’s hair and playing “beauty shop” with her friends and family, to a tenured professional. The root of her passion has always been making people feel the best they possibly can about themselves through her work.
Kasandra specializes in custom cutting and coloring. She loves doing long layers, lived-in color, and babylighting.
When not behind the chair Kasandra enjoys reading, going thrifting, and spending time with her husband and 2 chihuahuas.
