With over 13 years of experience in the hair industry, I began my career at a creative salon in Chicago, where I honed my skills for 9 years. Specializing in creative color placement and razor cutting for all hair types, I am passionate about delivering exceptional results. Additionally, I offer services such as lived-in color or balayage, hair extensions, brow tinting, and waxes. Follow my journey on Instagram @fixbyalyssa.
My fascination with hair color and style started during high school, where I experimented with vivid colors and razor cutting techniques, often using subpar products. Over time, I became more conscious of the impact that chemicals can have on our bodies. This realization struck me deeply when my aunt, whom I considered a second mother, passed away from hormone-related breast cancer. Witnessing the health decline of someone who appeared to be living a healthy life prompted me to research chemicals that disrupt hormones and led me to discover that even mainstream salon brands contained toxic ingredients.
Having personally experienced the aggravation of my autoimmune issues due to daily product use, I developed a genuine passion for holistic well-being. I prioritize my fitness and nutrition, exercising daily and coaching functional movement at my CrossFit gym. I adhere to a natural diet, consuming nourishing foods that align with my goal of eliminating toxic chemicals and ingredients from my life, including my hair products. I also assist others in cleaning up their diets and becoming more conscious of their consumption. Another essential aspect of my overall health is cultivating a positive attitude towards life. By practicing mindfulness and approaching each day with good intentions, I have found a refreshing perspective on life.
Working at a clean salon and using non-toxic products on my clients while educating them is deeply gratifying. I believe it is crucial to guide others towards a healthier lifestyle. Join me on this journey, and together, let's create something special. I look forward to meeting you!
