I’m Alexa!

I AM A FESTIVAL LOVING, NEW MOM, ENNEAGRAM TYPE 2, WITH AN OBSESSION FOR TRAVEL AND TRYING NEW RESTAURANTS.

OH… AND I LOVE WHAT I DO BEHIND THE CHAIR!

I grew up in the Portland/Vancouver area with a passion for exploring and paralyzing social anxiety. I became a hairstylist at the suggestion of my stylist auntie, who told me how great and flexible the career is. Initially I hated doing hair, it was nerve wracking to alter the appearance of people! I gave up pretty quickly and decided to try and figure out something else to do with my life. I was discovered by a salon owner after my cousin begged me to take her from a dark brown to a light blonde. The owner was so impressed with my cousin’s new color that she asked her to send me in to interview. That was it, I was back to doing hair, but this time I fell in love with it. I was in an education forward salon and it fed my need for facts and learning. I quickly became one of the top stylists in the salon and eventually out grew their structure and needed to move on to other opportunities.

I have worked with many of Vancouver’s best stylists and always tried to recreate the same learning atmosphere from the first salon. The pandemic has shifted the beauty industry and people are looking for connection and pampering in a world that feels hectic. I’ve decided that I want to put my guest’s experience first and allow you the opportunity to tailor your session to your needs. When I’m not at work you can find me chasing my toddler or out exploring somewhere. Whether it’s in the PNW or in another country, I’m constantly looking for inspiration and trying to learn new things.
