Portal Studio Branding with Alli & Danielle
NC Small Business: Portal Hair Studio Branding Photos with Alli and Danielle
I’m all here for a woman owned small business. And you won’t see any other hair stylist more badass than Alli & Blake.
You might remember the other branding session I had with Ethereal Hairstudio last year. That one was a lot more witchy and potions in the overall aesthetic. For this Portal Studio branding session, we focused a lot more on healing energies and we did a deeper dive into art and expressions of art. I really enjoyed creating the Canvas background and featuring the many plants, because what else says “healing space” more than plants and greenery?
Portal Studio located in Raleigh offers so many hair services from cutting to coloring, but they take it one step further by welcoming you into a “portal of time” full of healing energy and a relaxing time. The big tenents of their hair studio are creativity and inclusivity, on top of health and wellness.
Alli has an extensive background, having worked with so many well-known stylists in the NC area. She has found passion in helping her clients best express themselves and is a huge advocate of editorial hairstyling, which is the kind of art we see in fashion shoots and ad campaigns. She is also a certified Reiki Master Practitioner and finds ways to bring together her love for artistic expression and for personal healing in her work.
Danielle, who has just as much experience in the industry is passionate about coloring and curls. She strives to work with clients to build on what they come in with naturally. She has an extensive portfolio in color lines such as Goldwell, Wella and Redken. And has a background in techniques of balayage. Just like Alli, she is also a Reiki Healer, but is also a Tarot Reader and she tries to make her practice as holistic as possible when it comes to working with clients.
Any client who goes through the Portal doors will feel welcome in such a inclusive community, but leave feeling energized in more than just a hairdo. And as a friend and client, I can say that Alli & Blake create a magical, transformative atmosphere for all who dare to heal.
