Hi, I’m ALENA WOODS.
Curly hair isn't just what I do, it's personal.
My own curls led me to this craft, and for more than 15 years, I have devoted myself entirely to understanding curls: cutting, shaping, and sculpting each one in its natural form. I believe balance is the key to a shape that lasts, and that true beauty lives in imperfection.
My Approach
My love for curls didn't start in a salon, it started with my own hair, and the years I spent learning to understand it instead of fighting it. That personal journey became my craft, and fifteen years later, it's still what guides every cut I create. I believe balance is the foundation of every beautiful curl shape, and that the imperfections are what make it real.
Outside the chair, I bring that same eye for shape and form to my art, it's all part of the same creative thread. And here in the Eugene/Springfield area, I've had the honor of building a community of clients who trust me not just with a cut, but with truly understanding their curls for the first time.
CRAFT
Every curl is hand-sculpted with precision, honoring its natural pattern rather than forcing it into a mold.
EDUCATION
Clients leave not just with a great cut, but finally understanding their own curl pattern, curl-confidence and the knowledge to style it themselves.
