Salon Nyla continues the tradition of excellent customer service, welcoming and comfortable surroundings and the highest level of quality hair color and styling to be found anywhere in Portland.

After learning about essential oils and the benefit of plant-based treatments and products, she knew working with Aveda products was also going to be a good fit for her.
