ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Taylor, Founder of ModWell Hair

I offer mobile hair services for people in Portland and nearby areas who are in hospice care, recovering from surgery, or simply unable to leave home. I created ModWell Hair because I believe everyone deserves to feel cared for and comfortable, no matter their circumstances.

Why I Started Offering Haircuts for Hospice and Homebound Clients

This work began during the pandemic, when I was in cosmetology school and working in a care facility. I noticed residents weren’t getting access to basic haircuts, so I asked the director if I could step in. It felt incredibly meaningful to offer that care, and I realized how important it is (both physically and emotionally) for people to feel clean and seen.

I later worked in a traditional salon, but I missed those deeper connections. That’s why I returned to this work full-time. Now, I serve people not just in care facilities, but also those at home, throughout the greater Portland metro area.

Trained, Licensed, and Compassionate In-Home Haircare

I’ve been a licensed hairdresser since 2020, and I also have CNA training, including experience in memory care. I understand how to adapt to mobility limitations and create a calm, respectful experience—whether someone is in a bed, wheelchair, or favorite chair in their living room.

Local and Personal: Serving Portland, Salem, McMinnville, and Beyond

My mobile salon is based in Portland, Oregon, and I serve nearby communities including Beaverton, Hillsboro, Forest Grove, McMinnville, and Salem. I also partner with hospice organizations like Vista River Hospice and Tenderly Hospice to support their clients with professional grooming services at home.

A Little More About Me

When I’m not working, I love exploring the outdoors with my dog and sharing good meals with friends. This work is close to my heart, and I approach every visit with patience, kindness, and a genuine desire to make someone’s day a little brighter. If you'd like to work with me, please reach out for a complimentary consultation!
