A hairdresser is a person whose occupation is to cut hair in order to change or maintain a person's image. This is achieved using a combination of hair coloring, hair cutting, and hair texturing techniques. Most hairdressers are professionally licensed as either a hairdresser, a barber, or a cosmetologist.

Bend is located on the eastern edge of the Cascade Range along the Deschutes River. There the Ponderosa pine forest transitions into the high desert, characterized by arid land, junipers, sagebrush, and bitterbrush. Originally a crossing point on the river, settlement began in the early 1900s. Bend was incorporated as a city in 1905. Economically, it started as a logging town but is now identified as a gateway for many outdoor sports, including mountain biking, fishing, hiking, camping, rock climbing, white-water rafting, skiing, paragliding, and golf. In 2015, Men's Journal ranked Bend as one of the "10 Best Places to Live Now".
