When she established the first version of her salon “The Ladies Image” in Portland Oregon 1973, Brenda Kay's initial mission was to liberate women from the confines of their hair and give them high fashion options for daily wear. She succeeded in removing the stigma of wigs and developed a flourishing clientele. She grew to know a certain clientele that moved her deeply and ultimately formed her mission.

 

Women during dramatic hair loss often suffer more than the general public is aware. Hair loss can feel like a loss of health or control and can be emotionally devastating (or at the least a daily annoyance). Brenda works to create an accepting environment that respects the individual and offers tools to regain confidence and comfort. Nestled in the corner of downtown Portland since 1989, Brenda Kay Hair Specialties, offers fabulous hats as well as a variety of custom and fabricated wigs and pieces in a private setting.

Meet the Business Owner: Brenda Kay

Brenda Kay Hair Specialist — Portland, OR — Brenda Kay Hair Services

Brenda Kay took a leap of faith and in 1973 sold her car to finance her first business. She was honored early in her career by being invited to Korea to design a line of wigs. In addition to cementing her love of the industry it is also where her love of travel was born. Naturally, being a wine lover, Italy is a favorite destination. Although she is very happy to return to the Pacific NW from her travels - we have our own wine country after all!

Meet Jennifer Noble


It is with great pleasure that I introduce Jennifer Noble, who is a longtime  friend and the perfect person to care for my much-loved clients old and new. Jennifer is a licensed stylist and esthetician, and she grew up in the hair replacement industry. Her father was my wholesale manager for many years. She is multifaceted with beautician experience, is a licensed medical assistant and an Air Force and Air National Guard veteran.  Born and raised in Portland,  she has two lovely grown children and brings innovation and compassion to her  work. I have every confidence that Jen is the right person to help me maintain my business standards and client care as I transition into retirement.
