About NorthSide Hair Salon, Spokane, WA

MEET OUR TEAM

Emily

Salon Owner

Hey! I’m Emily, owner of Northside Salon and a hairstylist since 2005. I love helping people feel confident, relaxed, and pampered every time they visit.
I’m all about creating transformations—especially when it comes to cutting, blondes, and grey coverage—and making sure you leave loving your hair (and yourself) a little more. At Northside, you’ll find a welcoming space, a team that cares, and the best Davines products and techniques to bring out your natural beauty.
Outside of work, you’ll find me soaking up family time with my daughters, working out, cooking, and traveling whenever I can. Can’t wait to have you in my chair!

Alayna

Designer — Level 1

Hi, I’m Alayna! I’m a hairstylist with a passion for creating gorgeous lived-in blondes and brunettes.
I absolutely love meeting new people and turning clients into friends. My goal is to help you feel like the best version of yourself every time you sit in my chair—confident, beautiful, and cared for. Whether you’re coming in for a refresh or a full transformation, I’m here to make the experience fun, relaxing, and full of good vibes. When I’m not in the salon, I’m usually out adventuring with my husband and family, soaking up nature, dancing to music, or having some friendly competition over a good game night!

Follow my hair journey on Instagram @alayna.northside and come hang out with me in the chair. I can’t wait to meet you!

Elise

Designer — Level 2

Hi, I’m Elise — a Spokane-based hairstylist and I specialize in creating effortless color and cuts that feel like you, but elevated. I’m all about enhancing your natural features — the right tone can make your eyes pop, and a fresh shape can bring out bone structure you didn’t even know you had! I’m big on working with your natural texture, so you leave the salon with hair that fits your real life — not just your Pinterest board. I’m a perfectionist in the best way — I take my time to get it right, not just easy. I’ll always show up with full focus, fresh ideas, and maybe a random plant fact or two. Your hair is an investment, and I treat it that way! Outside the salon, you’ll usually find me outdoors, cooking something new, tending to my 100+ houseplants, or hanging out with my bunny, Evvy. I feel so lucky to work with the amazing people who sit in my chair — and I can’t wait to meet you!
