Alexis Dominique A NEW LEVEL OF BEAUTY

THIS MONTH at Hollywood Weekly Magazine, we are shining the spotlight on Alexis Dominique, who we had the chance to catch up with. Alexis is a local hairstylist who caught our attention with her outgoing, sweet, and bubbly personality. Alexis came from humble beginnings in the beauty industry. She started out sweeping hair as an assistant and has climbed her way to the top. She is now the owner and operator of her own hair studio; Hair by Lex, located in Los Angeles. Just how did this SFV native find a way to elevate herself all the way to the top of her game? Well, we’ve set to find out.

Alexis Dominique was born in the San Fernando Valley and raised throughout the Los Angeles County area. Always surrounded by friends and family, her younger years were fun and full of love, which is where her passion for beauty began. As a child, Alexis loved playing around with styling her cousin’s hair, and the more she did it, the better she got. From a very young age, her friends and family could clearly see the natural gift Alexis had.

When they realized she was on her way to turning her passion into her profession, they supported her, built her confidence, and encouraged her go out and pursue her dream. Between her natural talent, determination and passion Alexis excelled through Cosmetology school, and has come a long way since then.

She is now a professional, soughtafter, studio owning hair stylist who specializes in extensions, wigs, cuts, and color. When we saw what Alexis Dominique could do behind the scenes, we knew this was someone who should be in front of a larger audience of department heads in the hairstyling world. Her efforts are seamless, and she seems to have a style all her own.

Although her talents very clearly speak for themselves, what you don’t get to see in the glossy photos showcasing flawless hair styles, is the incredible energy Alexis brings along with her. She is confident, but humble, and she alway keeping her clients feeling comfortable that they will love the result every time, so they have no concerns while they’re sitting in her chair. Her genuine care and love for her client’s needs is unmatched, and her passion for what she does truly comes to life through her results.

With her detail-oriented personality, and undeniable understanding of her client’s needs, Alexis is making huge strides in her career, and we have no doubt that the sky is the limit when it comes to what this star on the rise can accomplish.

Along with owning a hair studio, Alexis has also had the opportunity to showcase her work during fashion week in both New York and Paris. She tells us “When I see an opportunity, I seize it! That mindset has really opened doors to a lot of incredible opportunities for me that I will always be grateful for”.

When we spoke with Alexis about her dream job, she lights up while talking about one day being hired by a major motion picture company. She believes that an opportunity of that level could greatly expand her knowledge and help perfect her skillset by having the opportunity to work with a training department of that capacity. She continues to share with us that she has always wanted to become a lead stylist for films, and various high-end clients like celebrities. Beyond that, Alexis would love to be involved in editorial shoots where she can showcase her unique style and take her passion for hair and beauty to the next level.

I have full confidence that Alexis will achieve all these goals and go far beyond them. Her kind spirit is contagious, and her determination to succeed will continue to take her where she has always been headed –straight to the top.

In the future, Alexis hopes to continue to build her client base, and would love to grow her portfolio with opportunities on the east coast and abroad. She also plans to continue expanding her knowledge in prop styling for film. Both of which will allow her the ability to join her trade industry Hair Stylist Union. One day, she plans to create a beauty line of exclusive hair products, and we cannot wait to get our hand on some!

As she continues stacking the building blocks to her global brand, she tells us her personal goal is to “follow my inner spirit by giving what I can back to society”. She also hopes to one day expand the fullness of her life by building a home with a family of her own.

So, for those wondering just how Alexis Dominique has worked her way up from the bottom and has been able to live out her dream – she tells us, “Find something that you love and follow your dream. That may very well be your God given talent.”, she goes on to say “It’s not easy. It will take hard work, persistence, and perseverance. But it will be so rewarding, and you get to have fun doing it too!”

With her drive and raw talent, I do believe Alexis could do this all on her own. But luckily, she doesn’t have to. She tells us she has an excellent support system in her mother, Sherron, who has always believed in her daughter’s skill and helped get her to where she is today.

As Alexis says, “Great hair doesn’t happen by accident, it happens by appointment!”, so if you need a little refresh, or a full reset contact Alexis for all your hair needs, or stop in at Hair by Lex near the LAX airport in Los Angeles, CA.
