Be true to you. Simple is beautiful.
Nomadic Goat is a minimal, clean air, + eco conscious studio. Our intimate little studio offers a privatized one on one service setting specializing in intuitive haircutting + natural brow shaping suited to each individual. At Nomadic Goat we always want our clients to feel comfortable in their own skin. Through exploration + empathy we work to elevate our clients so that they are able to see their true beauty. We believe beauty is a feeling + we want to pass that feeling on to everyone we meet.
We are nestled on a sunny corner in Portland’s West Bayside neighborhood. Our studio is always filled with beautiful natural light, an abundance of plant life, + enjoyable tunes, bringing forth the airiness, peacefulness, + relaxation that is Nomadic Goat.
The love and respect we have for our planet is reflected in our natural, cruelty-free, + earth friendly products + minimal waste. Weekly we compost the hair that we have cut through a local company called Garbage to Garden, with the hopes of one day helping our planet thrive again.
Our studio is open to all. There is no place for hatred + fear within the walls of our studio. Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Ableism + Ageism will not be tolerated.

Meet The Goats
Sheena Ernest
Founder
Natural Brow Artist
I want everyone who sits in my chair to see that they each have something beautiful to offer. Now more than ever we need to work to elevate one another. There is so much power + effortless beauty within our individuality. Our uniqueness allows us to stay true to who we are, and there is nothing more gratifying.
I have been a natural brow artist for over a decade. I shape eyebrows using only tweezers. I believe this is the most precise and gentlest way to transform eyebrows. Tweezing allows me to create a natural + bold brow suited to each individual with minimal upkeep. With tweezing, there is no damage done to the delicate skin around the eyes. Whether you have over-tweezed, under-tweezed, or are new to tweezing altogether, we can come up with a brow shape suited to your lifestyle, as well as your personal style.
Brian Rand
Founder
Master Hairstylist
I have always felt the most joy when I am doing something creative. Being in the hair industry for two decades has allowed me to channel my creative drive and develop my own unique and intuitive style of cutting and styling. My past experience as a salon owner in Boston has allowed me to cultivate an environment where clients feel like they aren’t just a number in my chair, but instead know they are in a safe place where they are truly being heard, and the foundation of a real relationship is being built.
Wake, shake, and go! hair is what I strive to give each of my clients. I love to encourage each person who sits in my chair to embrace the natural texture of their hair.
