    Alexx

    STYLIST

    Hi, I’m Alexx! I’ve been helping people look and feel their best since 2013, and I absolutely love what I do. One of my biggest passions is encouraging people to embrace their natural curl. As a curly specialist, I love teaching my guests how to style and care for their curls with confidence. I also have a soft spot for short haircuts and clipper cuts — there’s something so fun about creating a look that perfectly fits someone’s personality. When it comes to color, I specialize in customized techniques like grey blending, dimensional color, and hand-painted highlights to create natural, radiant results. My goal with every guest is to help them feel amazing — not just about their hair, but about themselves.
