Founder + Lived-In Color Specialist + Invisible Bead Extension Certified + Bridal Stylist
Hi! I am Kaila!
The person behind HairColumn that loves hair and embraces the beauty and craziness of life! My everyday focus behind the chair is “lived-in” hair color and hand-tied extensions. I am your go to for that, “my hair naturally grows this way,” look. I am certified in Invisible Bead Extensions, the most luxurious hand-tied technique on the market. My other passion is styling hair for weddings and photoshoots.

Myself, my husband and our three dogs, Chaos, Beija and Bandit, 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. 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 including my husband, Alejandro, and my fur babies, Chaos, Beija and Bandit. 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.

Blonding + Brunette Colorist + Invisible Bead Extension Certified
Hi! I am Sonya!
After becoming a hairstylist, I learned very early on that my passion lies within hair color, but my specialties are blonding and brunettes- bold, subtle or as natural as possible. I was certified in Invisible Bead Extensions in 2023, which has enhanced all of my services. I love making people feel beautiful and seeing their confidence boost as they sit in my chair.
Fun Facts:
My celebrity crush growing up was Kiefer Sutherland
I could eat homemade spaghetti for the rest of my life
I love all music. I could jam out to Nickelback, and then cry to Lewis Capaldi right after

Growing up I had no idea what I wanted to do career wise. I went from wanting to work in a zoo, social worker, hairstylist, police officer, dentist, and back to a hairstylist. I have always loved doing hair for friends and family in the comfort of my own bathroom, which made my personal hairstylist convince me to give beauty school a chance, because of her, I’ve been hooked on this career ever since.
I graduated from Tangled Ends in Keizer, Oregon in 2022. I started at HairColumn as an assistant, commuting back and forth from Keizer until my move to Eugene in 2023. I have a love for education which pushed me further to dive into Invisible Bead Hair Extensions, a highly sought after specialized hair extension service. I was certified in 2023 and am very excited to continue to advance my extension service offerings.
Any free time that I have, I love to spend it by reading, cooking and baking. Enjoying the outdoors, camping or even just river days with some music, friends, and good food.

Blondes + Dimensional Color + Invisible Bead Extension Certified + Bridal Stylist
Hi! I'm Kaitlyn!
I specialize in all areas of blonde and dimensional color, and I am certified in Invisible Bead Extensions. If I am not in the salon you will likely find me onsite for weddings and photoshoots.
I have always been drawn to the beauty industry and every aspect about it. I love all things beauty, but hair was the one thing that I was most passionate about! It was a no brainer to have a job based around making people feel good about themselves & the added bonus of truly enjoying what I do each day at work!
Fun Facts:
I am a dog mom to a golden doodle named Bentley.
My fiancé and I are planning a Mexico destination wedding for 2025!
My go to cocktail order is a margarita on the rocks with extra salt around the rim.

I am born & raised Eugene, Oregon. I attended University of Oregon for a year prior to following my dream of doing hair. I went to cosmetology school at IBS in Eugene and graduated in 2023. I immediately started at HairColumn as an assistant and moved my way up to a stylist.
The industry is constantly changing and growing. There’s always a new product, technique, or trend. Learning new things by continuing education is super important to me. Currently I am enrolled in The Blonde Chronicles University, which is an online education platform focusing on color and all things blonde. I am always keeping my eyes open for classes and new things to learn.
Being in love with hair naturally lead me to enroll in Invisible Bead Extensions as my chosen extension method, as it is the most highly sought out extension method in the industry that highly focuses on scalp health. I started my training in 2023 and became certified in January 2024. Being an extension artist has fueled my love for the industry more and I am ager to see where this journey takes me.
When I’m not at the salon I am spending time with family & friends, online shopping (creating carts that I won’t purchase) , scrolling on social media, trying new restaurants, & planning the next spot to travel to!

Hi! I am Kirra!
I am your girl for lash extensions! My personal favs are volume and mega volume lashes, but I do love the subtle look of classic lashes or a hybrid of different lengths. I want you to open your eyes and see your most beautiful self. Whatever length, thickness and preference that is, I am ready to pamper you. Makeup is my other love- proms, photoshoots, or just a date night out, there’s nothing like having your makeup done by someone else.

Most of my wardrobe is thrifted and vintage

Born and raised in Eugene, OR. I graduated in 2021 from IBS school of Cosmetology. Becoming a hairstylist has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. It all started with the firm belief that everyone should be able to achieve their dream hair regardless of style, color and length. I am here to help you get that hair you’ve always wanted! My chair is the place I want clients to feel safe and comfortable, and like they are my top priority. I am very eager to learn and adapt to all the new trends as they come and to grow my career though continuing education.
In my free time you can find me singing and playing the piano, working out (primarily crossfit), going to breweries, eating good food and spending as much time with my family & friends as possible!

Cutting Specialist + Razor Guru + Shag + Mullet
Hi! I am Allie!
I’m a Cutting Specialist! I have received professional training in use of the straight razor to craft effortless air-dried shags, mullets and more. I believe in working with the hair's natural texture rather than flat ironing it into submission. If you need a haircut, I am your guru!
*Currently accepting new haircut clients only
Fun Facts:
I have a green thumb!
My pandemic hobby was learning to watercolor
I love to read! My favorite book is Pride and Prejudice
-
I have been a licensed stylist for over 12 years. I am cutting specialist and have received professional training in use of the straight razor to craft effortless air-dried shags, mullets, fine hair with curl patterns 2a- 3a (Which means everything from straight to soft curls), and more. I believe in working with the hair's natural texture rather than flat ironing it into submission.
I use hair products exclusively that are minimalist, non-toxic, cruelty-free, ethically harvested ingredients, synthetic fragrance-free, refillable and recyclable packaging and-most importantly, products that are safe for our bodies.
When not at work, you may see me peddling around town enjoying a local brew or band. I graduated from UO in 2018 with a hard earned degree in Environmental Science and I am very passionate about sustainability within the beauty industry.
