Alea Beauty began in Columbus, Ohio, in 2018, when founder Carla Welechuk Kowski relocated from the West Coast and started the business. The company describes itself as woman owned and women led. According to the site, the name comes from a Hebrew word meaning to rise or ascend.
The studio's stated mission is to offer inclusive and accessible luxury beauty services to everyone. The team says it works with a natural approach that highlights each person, and it rejects beauty standards it considers harmful or unrealistic. Clients are served regardless of age, sex, gender, sexual orientation, or cultural or religious beliefs, and the business describes itself as a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community. Services are also offered for trans clients.
Hubs are in Columbus and Phoenix. The Dublin studio at 3496 Snouffer Rd. is by appointment and is reserved mainly for small weddings, elopements, previews, pre-wedding and lifestyle bookings. Wedding day bookings with three or more people take place at the client's location or venue. Arizona services are fully mobile, and Boston's team is also fully mobile, covering Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Connecticut with travel fees. Each wedding party receives a customized proposal, and contracts and payments are handled online. The business recommends booking early, since most couples book six to twelve months ahead. Packages require a $500 deposit, and Buy Now, Pay Later is available for bookings between $50 and $4,000, subject to approval before the appointment.
The business reports recognition from LUXlife Magazine as a best wedding hair and makeup team in the USA for several recent years, along with wedding awards from The Knot, Zola and other wedding publications. These are its own claims. The team also recruits beauty professionals who choose their own schedules, while the business handles bookings, payments, contracts and marketing for them. It offers brand licensing so individuals can operate under the Alea Beauty name in their own communities, with training and design support included.
Aims to help each client reach the next level of their own natural beauty, with hairstyles and makeup chosen to suit their features and a focus on inclusivity.
