About
Hi, and welcome! I’m Alexis — a Licensed Cosmetologist of 10 Years, Photography Lover and Self-Taught Artist 👩🏻🎨 Since beginning my beauty career in 2015, I’ve blended art and science to create thoughtful, customized hair services. My background spans boutique and diverse salon environments, allowing me to build a practice rooted in experience, intention, and work I’m proud to stand behind. My approach to hair begins with personalization, trust, and genuine care. With a decade of experience across services, textures, and identities, I prioritize thorough consultations, clear communication, and results that feel aligned with you, and not just the latest trends. My work is psychology-driven, meaning I ask the important questions during consultations, listen deeply, and guide clients through realistic expectations with empathy and honesty. Every service is designed to help you look and feel your best *you*! I love my craft because I get to make people happy and create art while giving my ADHD brain a safe space to flourish. My favorite services/looks to do are anything involving creative color, mermaid hair and short pixie hair. I love doing alternative and emo looks, lived-in color and balayage, and of course my first love — hairstyling! In my free time, I enjoy being in nature, playing with animals, and relaxing by bodies of water, as it helps me recenter and reconnect to myself after long or stressful days. I love meditative soundbaths, going on road trips, to concerts, listening to music and dancing, (and actually have been a dancer off and on since I was in middle school.) #salsabachataforever 💃🏻🎶 IMPORTANT PSA: All are welcome in my chair and I do not tolerate any hate, discrimination or disrespect in my space. Creating a safe, inclusive space is non-negotiable; so if you ever have any concerns or preferences for your appointment, let me know so I can make sure you are as comfortable as possible. Silent and 1:1 appointments available upon request. Please read below for booking details, and contact for questions. I can’t wait to help you bring your vision to life! ✨ THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE BOOKING: - Consultation & Deposit Required for most appointments. - Appointments are by request and pre-booked only, no same-day/walk-ins unless otherwise stated. - Availability is limited to maintain quality, consistency, and sustainability. - Clients are encouraged to plan ahead, especially for weekend dates, as I am often booked at least a week or two in advance. 📍 Salon Appts Available in Long Beach at The Pink Room (On 4th St near Retro Row) & Sola Salons Tustin (Irvine Blvd near Tustin Marketplace) SICKNESS: To ensure the safety of all who enter our space, we cannot accept sick clients.
