surrounded by successful women
Alexis has been surrounded by successful women in the industry her entire life. Her mom was a makeup artist for ten years and her best-friends mom has owned a salon in San Antonio, TX. Since the young age, she was spending lot of time at the salon, and one of her first jobs was at a front desk at this salon. After cosmetology school Alexis moved to Austin, TX and found Salt and Waves where she worked hardcore to be in the position she is in today.
”My start of my career looked a little different than most people. The global pandemic hit in the middle of my journey at cosmetology school. Months of my hands on experience were taken away from me bc I was completing my hours at home. I felt like my education was taken away from me. So as soon as I graduated I knew I needed to find a salon home that offered in house education program. That’s when I found Salt and Waves and completed their apprentice program. I knew that not only did I want to succeed behind the chair, I wanted to help others who were also robbed of some experiences as well. Thus started my educator journey. To this day I strive to give my clients a luxurious experience while educating my own apprentice.
