GET TO KNOW the woman
behind the chair.
OWNER, EDUCATOR & MASTER STYLIST
Janelle Alexis Flatt, a forever-student of cosmetology and salon veteran, has laid down the key to success behind the chair: experience. This is why she set up an apprentice program for junior stylists, so that they can dive deep into every facet of the craft and the business. It is her belief that nothing short will equip new stylists with the confidence it takes to open up their own businesses.
With a keen eye for style and an intense focus on customer care, Janelle's renowned business is anything but ordinary. Growing up in a hair salon was the fuel to her fire, and this dedication continues to power her ascension in the industry. She understood, early on, the importance of nurturing a creative, resilient, and tight-knit team. This has been at the center of her vision, to build a salon full of capable and savvy oracles- a team that can change the business for good.
Her life is a mosaic of equally important roles:. Mother, educator, student, explorer, traveler, philanthropist, business owner, and wife.

"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."
"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!"
"Very nice and personable, she took the time to listen to what I wanted and offered suggestions when I was unsure. Online appointment scheduling is great. Love my cut and color. I highly recommend!"
"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."
"Janelle Alexis Salon gives me the best men's haircut in town! I had bounced around to different spots until I was referred by a friend of mine. My haircuts are always exactly what I want and consistent."
"I have been going to Janelle Alexis Salon for all my beauty needs for 5+ years. They have done extensions, very difficult blonde color, cuts, blow outs, special occasion make up and updo's, lash extensions.... they do it all!“
