Dosha History

For 35 years, Dosha has been shaped by the people who show up every day — for their guests, their craft, and each other. This page is a living collection of stories, moments, and memories we’ll continue adding to throughout the year.

 

Our 5 Pillars

Dosha’s five pillars have guided every decision we make, helping us adapt, grow, and stay strong through every chapter of our journey.

The People Who Make Dosha

Dosha has always been about people — the team members who build lasting careers here, and the guests who trust us through every chapter of their lives. These stories reflect the relationships at the heart of everything we do.

Moments with our team and guests that make Dosha Salon Spa

Moments We’ve Been Honored to Share

From weddings and celebrations to everyday transformations, we’ve had a front-row seat to life’s most meaningful moments. These are the chapters we’re grateful to be part of.

Through It All

Over 35 years, we’ve faced challenges that tested us — and strengthened us. Through change, rebuilding, and uncertainty, our team stayed connected, adaptable, and committed to one another and our guests.

Craft, Refined Over Time

Our craft is built through education, mentorship, and creative exploration. Over the years, our team has contributed to editorial projects, fashion shows, and artistic collaborations — earning recognition along the way. Every class, shoot, show, and award reflects our commitment to thoughtful, well-executed work..

Dosha history is rooted in community

Rooted in Community

Being part of Portland means showing up beyond our salon walls. We’re proud to support local organizations, artists, and causes that reflect our values and strengthen the community we call home.


 

35 Years, Still Unfolding

From our beginnings in 1991 to the community we serve today, these moments shaped who we are — and who we’re becoming.
