ALENA WOODS
Hi, I’m Alena – Co-Owner of Hair Doctors Salon
I’ve always believed that hair is more than just appearance—it’s self-expression, identity, and a reflection of how we feel inside. With over 14 years of experience behind the chair, I’ve built my career around helping women feel confident, understood, and empowered through custom color and curly cuts that grow out beautifully and feel easy to live in.
As a painter and artist, I bring an artist’s eye to everything I do. My background in art taught me how to see shape, light, and color in a way that naturally carries over into hair. Whether I’m blending soft lived-in highlights or sculpting curls to bring out their true pattern, my goal is always the same: to create something wearable, effortless, and uniquely you.
I co-founded Hair Doctors Salon with my best friend and business partner, Davian, to create a space that’s both welcoming and intentional. A place where stylists could grow and clients could feel truly cared for. Since opening our doors, I’ve leaned fully into my specialties—lived-in color, natural-looking dimension, and cutting curly hair of all types.
I believe that great hair doesn’t come from a one-size-fits-all formula. It starts with listening, understanding your lifestyle, and building a plan that supports your goals long after you leave my chair. That’s why every appointment includes a treatment plan, personalized product recommendations, and hands-on styling education—because you deserve to feel amazing every day, not just on salon day.
When I’m not behind the chair, you can find me in my home art studio, out exploring the beauty of Oregon with my family, or nerding out over color theory and curl education. My mission is to use this business not just to serve my clients, but to build a life I love—and to help others do the same.
