Lana Guerra

For almost my whole life I worked in salons as a hair stylist. After doing it all, from owning a salon, working in NYC, to working on many photo shoots, traveling as a hair nurse.... I choose to live here in Portland because I can spend 98% of my time making very unique art wigs that sell all around the world: paintings, dolls, puppets that are life sized & used for performance art, marionettes, clothes, and sculptures.
Not really into working 40+ hrs a week fixing peoples hair when I can stay home and create most of everything that is in my head. I guess my scissors are being put to use in a different way, they now cut fabric for hours. SNIP SNIP. My hair career has turned to becoming a seamstress....
I have been published in Bust Magazine, Gothic Beauty, and Voltaire's Oh My Goth Book… Besides visual art, I am also in a circus - Societas Insomnia, dj as DJ Big Top, and play loads of music in theatrical bands. My main music project is Power Circus. You can find recordings I have played in on White Rose, Nihilist Records, & Beta-lactam Ring Records.

I make any kind of wig, many custom wigs, but when I make my own they all tend to be over the top with bright colors.....and at times my wigs turn into head pieces that are giant bunny rabbits, birds, octopus..... As for my clothing, usually the same thing, I adore color and prints. Things tend to look very circus like, maybe because I love a good circus....

Being titled the hair nurse when I lived & worked as a hairstylist in the east village of NYC, I guess in a way that sums it up. I can do any kind of hair/wig imaginable or already have.....that is what makes me special, besides my charm-LOL. I’d say when people wear my wigs/outfits you will not get away with being unnoticed.
