Albina Youth Opportunity School (AYOS) was established as a private nonprofit alternative school. AYOS serves public school students 12 through 18 years of age who are at risk of dropping out of school.

The doors have been open since 2002. Dana started the salon with a dream of changing the way the salon industry has been moving. She started educating clients, stylists and salon owners in 1998 about personalizing each service. While building her knowledge in communication, skill and salon management she realized that there is a lack of trust amongst stylist, salon owners, and clients. Dana’s passion lies in the details of communication of who we are and what we want to say! 3713 N. Mississippi Avenue, Portland Oregon (503)286-2070
