We Are A Cut Above The Rest!

ONLY THE BEST FOR THE BEST

How do we achieve the highest quality of service? We acquired the most important skill under the sun: learning how to learn.​ When it comes to education and staying up-to-date on the latest trends, this business doesn't take a day off, and neither do we. Our team brings over 100+ years of combined experience to the table, and we haven't stopped there. When we're not behind the chair, we're attending classes, sharpening our tools, and passing on our knowledge to junior stylists. We believe that the skills it takes to become a real stylist are not earned, they are learned. This is why we focus so much on education and product research, this industry moves fast!

Janelle Alexis Salon is where theory meets praxis daily, and that's what makes us a cut above the rest!

testimonials

"I met my hair stylist with right on time, and she was great! She was one of those ladies who had been doing hair for almost 30 years, but has been able to keep up with the newest styles and trends. I wasn't very good at telling her how I wanted my hair, but she really listened and worked with me."

SHEA R

"Love my girl! Nailed it again. Janelle Alexis Salon got me in last minute, even though she was totally booked up Saturday. My stylist put me in a gorgeous up-do that looked amazing and stayed up all night. Thanks Janelle for making me feel so special!"

"I have been going to Janelle Alexis Salon for years. They have highlighted my hair more times than I can count (always amazing, really is a color genius), given me several new and exciting cuts over the years, done chemical hair straightening treatments, deep conditioning treatments and pretty much anything else you can think of. I won't let anyone else near my head with a pair of scissors."
