Chai Josie

Chai (pronounced Shay) is a Salt Lake City native who has 11 years of experience as a stylist. I have a wide range of experience with all hair types: from men to women, straight to curly, fine to course, and all ethnicities. My specialty is color, ranging from extravagantly shocking to naturally subtle to blonde bombshells. I continually educate myself on the latest color and cutting techniques, and make sure I am up-to-date with the latest styles. I work with my clients to create the perfect look: I am an excellent listener and enjoy getting to know my clients, who come from all cultures and walks of life.

That great color or the perfect cut doesn’t stop once you leave the salon. I believe that protecting and maintaining your best asset is very important, by using good professional products to keep color bright and fresh, and to keep hair shiny and soft. I carry Phytology, a French hair treatment system that is made mostly of botanicals and is perfect for any type of hair.

My skills include:

• Color specialist
• Barbering techniques
• Relaxers
• Body/texture waves
• Fusion extensions by Balmain
• Scalp massages
• Brow shaping
• Makeup artistry
• Special occasion styles (updos)

I enjoy spending my extra time exploring the art and music culture of Portland, participating in outdoor adventures, and traveling to different countries. I am also a certified Reiki practitioner and strive to live a healthy spiritual life. Last but not least, I have a very profound love for animals and nature.
