About

Hair By Alex is run by owner stylist Alex Hession, who works with clients on color, cutting, curly hair and smoothing services. Booking starts with a complimentary 15-minute consultation, which is used to confirm what the client needs before an appointment is set. Specialty color is offered only after that consultation.

Color services cover toner and gloss, Redken grey blending for camouflaging gray, mini foils that frame the face, partial and full foil highlights, and hand-painted balayage in partial and full versions. Foil and balayage services require a $100 deposit.

For curly and wavy hair, the studio offers a Curly Session for natural curly or wavy clients, which includes a curl cleanse, a wash, and a lesson on applying products and blow-drying. The Curly Cut is done with hair arriving dry and styled the way the client usually wears it. Haircuts and blowouts each come with a choice of four or two options respectively, and a bang trim is available between cuts.

Cezanne smoothing treatments are a specialty here. The Express Treatment is a shorter option, and the Keratin Treatment is formaldehyde-free and suited to all hair types. According to the salon, the keratin treatment reduces frizz and smooths hair for up to five months and cuts blow-dry time by about 30 percent. A $100 deposit is required for it.

Hours are Monday 11 AM to 6 PM, Tuesday 10 AM to 5 PM, Thursday 12 PM to 7 PM, and Friday 9:30 AM to 5 PM; the studio is closed Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Cancellations or reschedules made within 48 hours of an appointment incur a 50 percent fee, and no-shows on the day are charged the full service price. Buy Now, Pay Later financing is available in person for bookings from $50 to $4,000, subject to approval before the appointment.

Focused on tailoring each appointment to the client, with a consultation first and a clear sense of whether the goal is a subtle update or a bold change.
