Kyla Thompson
My journey into the world of beauty began with a deep-rooted connection to color. I was raised in an artistic family, surrounded by the work of my grandfather, Steve Oliff—renowned in the comic book industry as the godfather of digital coloring. His influence instilled in me a lifelong fascination with color theory, which continues to shape the way I see and approach the world. Driven by a passion for haircolor from the age of eleven, I accelerated my education to graduate early and begin my professional training. At just fifteen, I enrolled in Ukiah Beauty College while simultaneously apprenticing at the upscale Halo Salon, where I gained firsthand experience in high-end salon practices and client care. Since 2014, I’ve specialized in advanced color work, with a focus on major hair transformations and corrective color. My approach is both artistic and technical—rooted in a deep understanding of color, balance, and hair health. Whether restoring compromised hair or creating bold, custom looks, I thrive on helping clients feel confident, elevated, and authentically themselves. Manicures and pedicures have always been my favorite form of self-care—rituals that offer both beauty and a moment of pause. At The Bombshell Beauty Lounge, I’ve created a space where nail services are more than routine—they’re refined, restorative experiences tailored to nourish both hands, feet, and spirit.

Hello! I'm Aileen, a licensed esthetician with over 15 years of experience specializing in precision brow mapping and waxing. Originally from the Bay Area, I honed my craft in salons located in San Francisco's Marina and Mission neighborhoods, where I built a clientele and perfected my techniques for beautifully shaped, natural-looking brows tailored to each individual's face. Six years ago, I relocated to the beautiful Anchor Bay community on the coast, and I love this welcoming area and its residents. I'm thrilled to now bring my expertise to Bombshell Beauty Lounge, where I'm excited to offer personalized brow services. I look forward to helping you feel confident, tailored and polished!
