Kristen Alexis
Founder & Lead Stylist
If you’ve ever spent time in her chair, you’ve probably realized that hair is rarely just about hair.
Long before becoming a hairstylist, Kristen was an artist. At 16 when she entered the industry, she was painting, sculpting with ceramics, studying psychology, and experimenting with her own hair as a form of creative expression.
Her relationship with hair started even earlier. As a little girl, she was already helping her mother with her hair, pulling her hair out of a cap to highlight it. In middle school her mom returned the favor by starting the dip-dye trend. During her “scene phase,” the hair got pretty creative. Cutting and coloring became another medium for exploring identity, beauty, and transformation.
Nearly 20 years later, that curiosity still drives her.
Kristen specializes in extensions across multiple methods, with a strong focus on scalp health, comfort, and protecting the integrity of the natural hair. She’s also an expert colorist and intuitive razor cutter, always looking for the subtle details that make the difference.
Outside the salon, she’s a yogi, Reiki Master, beekeeper, artist, and lifelong student of psychology, astrology, and metaphysics. She’s endlessly curious about life’s subtle energies, nature, and what exists beneath the surface.
After two decades behind the chair, she’s been trusted through nearly every season of life. Celebrations, heartbreaks, motherhood, loss, reinvention, and everything in between.
Yes, you’ll leave with exceptional hair. But you may also leave feeling heard, grounded, cared for, and a little more like yourself.
We’re so grateful she’s part of the Alchemy Loft team, and we can’t wait for you to experience her chair. ♥︎
