Hi, I’m ayla thomas.
I’ve been a stylist for over 14 years now. I specialize in balayages and extensive highlight projects, though I am a well rounded stylist and offer many services. Please see my service page for a full list of offerings.
I love to stay updated on the latest trends, and a high focus is put on home-care so my clients can have the healthiest hair possible.
I am an LGBTQ+ ally - please let me know the pronouns you feel comfortable with.
ABOUT ME
I went to school to become a teacher right out of highschool. I did two years of my degree and upon doing some practicum - realized it wasn’t quite right somehow.
I found full time work at Angles Brentwood as their receptionist, and a few years later - went to hair school. I’d always loved makeup and hair, and really wanted to take cosmotology in highschool, but it wasn’t offered at my school.
I guess you could say, hair found me.
what an appointment with me looks like
I place a huge focus on providing value for you, the client. We will discuss your desired styling routines, washing routine, which products to use and how to use them, as well as in-salon maintenance with me.
Each appointment I will check in with you and re-assess. Product recommendations are part of keeping you up-to-date on the best items to reproduce the look at home, as well as care for your hair in-between appointments.
how do i style my hair at home?
I spend a great deal of time helping clients feel empowered to do their hair at home - whether that’s talking about which tools or products to use, or how often to wash.
