I'm Alise @alise.c_hairpainting

I’m a  blonding specialist with over 20 years of experience in the industry. I started my career in San Francisco and have spent the past 4 years working in Portland. I'm known for my expertise in freehand hair painting and lived-in color, creating effortlessly natural, sun-kissed looks that grow out seamlessly.

I offer a wide range of services, including scissor and razor haircuts, gray blending, and major color transformations. I use low-tox, high-performance color whenever possible, prioritizing hair health while still delivering beautiful, long-lasting results.
I take pride in collaborating closely with each client to tailor every service to their individual goals and lifestyle.

My commitment to professional growth is ongoing-I've continued my education through advanced classes at salons such as Pony Salon, Ahn Co Tran, and Edo Salon.

Whether you're looking for subtle brightness or a full blonding transformation, I'm dedicated to delivering results that are both beautiful and low-maintenance.

When I’m not in the salon, I’m spending time with my partner and little one, exploring the Pacific Northwest, and soaking up everything it has to offer.

  • "Alise is incredibly talented and truly knows her way around color. I came in as a brunette wanting a lived-in ash blonde, which felt like a big leap for me, and she absolutely nailed it. The tone is beautiful, natural, and exactly the low-maintenance direction I was hoping for. What stands out most is how thoughtful and knowledgeable she is. She really listens, then guides you toward what will actually work best for your hair and lifestyle. You can tell she takes real pride in her craft and pays close attention to the details. If you are looking for someone who combines technical skill with an artistic eye, Alise is the one. I left feeling confident, refreshed, and very well taken care of." — Rebecca

  • “Alise will make you feel beautiful!
    She is an expert at creating subtle, luxurious dimension. I have gone to her for color for over ten years and every time I leave feeling lovely and uplifted.
    Highly recommend! Also my brother once told me my hair looked expensive-which I took as a compliment… And my high school best friend told me I had the best hair of my life… All after seeing you!” — Nichole

  • “Alise has been working on my hair since 2010, and I continue to travel across state lines for a cut and colour in her chair. Her intuitive eye for colour and her natural way of shaping a cut gives my hair depth, texture, and resilience. She has a pulse on what works for my hair as it evolves over time while also bringing refreshing ideas to hair care, products, and styling. Alise is just the best and I look forward to my time in her chair! ” — Hanna
