Hi, I’m K

Proud native of the beautiful Pacific Northwest and the proud owner of Shear Illusions salon. My journey in the beauty industry has been rooted in a lifelong passion for hair, one that’s only grown stronger over the years.
I began my professional training at Northwest College School of Beauty during the challenges of the COVID era. After graduating, I joined Supercuts, where I quickly advanced to become a store manager and technical trainer. That experience gave me a solid foundation in both the artistry and business of haircare.
After four years, an incredible opportunity came my way: the chance to take the reins of Shear Illusions, a beloved salon in NE Portland's Roseway neighborhood with 45 years of history.

Today, I’m honored to continue its legacy—bringing fresh energy, expert care, and a personal touch to every client who walks through our doors.
Whether you’re here for a fresh cut, a bold color transformation, or just a little self-care, I’m here to help you feel confident, seen, and beautiful.
