Alyson Lupo

Alyson Lupo is the founder of txture+studio, a studio space she runs inside City Suites Salon & Spa in North Dallas, close to the Dallas North Tollway. The suite sits on the corner of the building's hallway, and parking is free. The space is described as relaxing.

Her work centers on wavy and curly hair. Salon appointments cover hair health, dry curl-cutting and custom hair care routines, and clients leave with guidance on how to recreate their look at home. She also offers color analysis, which the site lists as a new service. Sessions can be in person or virtual, and in-person bookings are available for an individual, two people together, or a child.

Beyond the chair, the studio teaches. Online classes can be taken at the viewer's own pace, and there are live sessions such as a one-time Zoom class on trimming wavy and curly hair at home. The space can also host up to five stylists for education on a live model. Alyson co-hosts a podcast with Courtney, filmed live on YouTube and released to audio platforms, and writes a blog on hair care topics such as frizz, texture and seasonal product routines. The site reports nearly 150k subscribers across Instagram and YouTube, and client reviews on the site praise her knowledge and teaching.

Alyson looks at each client's hair as they normally wear it, products included, before planning the cut and routine.
