Signature Cutting Techniques
Alex Henderson Salon focuses on movement, face-framing layers, and weightless structure. The stylists use a mix of internal guideline cutting and disconnected shapes to create texture that suits curly, wavy, and straight textures alike.
Advanced techniques such as razor refinement and point-cutting are applied to remove bulk naturally, helping your style hold its shape from wash to wash without feeling stiff or over-processed.
Color Science & Custom Mixing
Color services at Alex Henderson Salon start with a detailed skin-tone and lifestyle analysis. The team then mixes personalized color formulas to enhance your natural pigments while protecting hair integrity.
Lowlights, glosses, and corrective treatments are designed to boost shine and dimension without harsh stripping. Olaplex and bond-building in-salon treatments are often incorporated to support long-term strength and vibrancy.
Client Consultation & Lifestyle Mapping
Before any service, you will walk through a consultation that maps your daily routine, products at home, and maintenance preferences. This ensures that every cut, color, or style can be realistically maintained between visits.
Stylists provide clear, jargon-free guidance on how to extend your look with brushwork, drying methods, and product layering for your specific porosity and density level.
