Founder + Lived-In Color Specialist + Invisible Bead Extension Certified + Bridal Stylist
Hi! I am Kaila!
I’m the person behind HairColumn that loves hair and embraces the beauty and craziness of life! My speciality is creating "lived-in" hair color and installing seamless hair extensions. I'm your go-to stylist for achieving that coveted, "my hair naturally grows this way" look. I hold certifications in both Invisible Bead Extensions and Great Lengths Keratin Bond Extensions, both being the most in-demand techniques available today. Beyond my work in the salon chair, I also have styling expertise for weddings and professional photoshoots.

Myself, my husband, my daughter and my two dogs love roaming our 21 acre property
I could eat tacos every day
I participate in Spartan obstacle races

I created HairColumn as a place to share my love for hair and the fullness of what life has to offer. It’s something I try to embody everyday because why not enjoy the life in which you live in? Making people feel beautiful and uplifted transformed my career into a passion. My everyday focus behind the chair is “lived-in” hair color and hand-tied extensions. I am certified in Invisible Bead Extensions, the most luxurious hand-tied technique on the market, and Great Lengths Bond Keratin Extensions. The times I am not behind the chair in my salon I am styling hair for weddings and photoshoots. I have 13+ years experience styling brides and models.
Always hungry for change and growth lead me to seek opportunities for continuing education to help further my knowledge and expand my expertise. That’s how I found my love for education both as student and teacher. It wasn’t until I found Davines, a family owned, biodegradable and sustainable company based out of Parma, Italy, that I then began spreading my passion to others and became an educator for Davines in 2017-2021. Educating allowed me to teach and inspire other salons and stylists to enhance their skills and career, all while taking care of our planet at the same time.
I have been a hair stylist since 2007 where I graduated from The College of Cosmetology in Klamath Falls, Oregon. I lived in Bend from 2012-2018 and moved to Eugene, Oregon in October 2018. I am servicing clients behind the chair in the Eugene area along with styling hair for wedding and photoshoots across the states and beyond.
Outside of my career I am an avid adventurer. I love spending time with family and friends, especially my husband and my daughter, and my two fur babies. I am a traveler and explorer of the globe, live music junkie, major foodie, outdoor enthusiast, pretend interior decorator, reader, tea drinker and lover of connecting with people.

Cutting + Curls + Dimensional Color + Extensions Certified.
Hi! I am Gina!
I’m a cutting specialist with an emphasis on curly cuts. I love creating low-maintenance, lived-in cuts and hair coloring that work with your lifestyle and hair texture — looks that grow out easily and only require as much styling as you want to do.
I am now certified in both Invisible Bead Extensions and Great Lengths Keratin Bond Extensions- both top of their market in the extension world. As I continue to grow as a stylist I hope to add bridal styling into my practice as well.
Fun Facts:
I know almost all the dialogue in The Princess Bride
I am a Tom Cruise movie enthusiast
I’ve collected DVDs, books and records since I was a kid, and my house now looks like a media museum

I’ve always loved all things beauty. Growing up with curly hair and acne, I was always experimenting with new products and techniques in a never-ending quest for perfection, and I shared my successes with friends and family. Going to cosmetology school felt like a natural step for me.
I grew up in Portland, but I settled in Eugene in 2017 after falling in love with the city during college. I attended Aveda Institute Portland and graduated in 2024, and I’m so happy to be home again in Eugene.
When I’m not behind the chair, I’m probably playing games with friends or watching movies.

I’ve been behind the chair since 2019. My love for hair started when I was small. Growing up my grandma would take me to the beauty salon to get my hair washed or braided. I loved the way being in the salon made me feel. From the conversations and stories to the beautiful hair that was just created. I also have a bunch of sisters so I got to play with their curly hair and hone my skill.
I think the connections we build and making someone feel more like themselves and confident is one of my favorite parts of the industry. The glow others get after being cared for and listened to is so rewarding.
I’m originally from a small town in Oklahoma, I graduated from Stillwater high in 2019. I went to a cosmetology school while I was still attending high school and received my Oklahoma hair license before even graduating. I have been doing hair ever since!
Outside of the salon I enjoy junk journaling/scrapbooking and painting. I take landscape photography, and love the outdoors and exploring. This is one of the reasons my fiance and I moved to Oregon.
