Hey y’all! I’m Alaina or Allie if you prefer. I’m originally from Texas, but have called the PNW my home for the last 20 years.

I’m a mom of two crazy, wonderful kids, so I know what it’s like to be spread thin and never feel like you should take time for you. I’m here to tell you that you that it’s important to make the time! Being able to
to give yourself a little self-care makes life more relaxed. I’m here to provide you a space for that much needed moment and to help you feel ready to be present for the people in your life.

I’ve been a stylist since 1998. After working in salons both in Texas and Oregon, I founded The MotherShip Salon in 2010. When life as we know it in the world took a turn, I joined forces with my best friend to become co-owners of the salon in 2020.

I love to help my guests find a look that’s going to bring them the most joy and confidence, while still being achievable and fit in their lifestyle. Whether you are wanting a natural look or the latest fashion
hue, I’m here to help you achieve all your hair dreams! The best thing you’ll ever see is the change in someone’s eyes when they are truly happy with how they look. That is what it is about for me.

During my week I can be found running after my kids, getting them to school or spending time as a family with my husband and kids. To get my creativity out you’ll find me in my craft studio tinkering with my latest projects. I love making all the handmade jewelry that’s featured in the salon and on our
website!
