Inspiration
Finding the strength to step out of your comfort zone to express yourself can be scary to do. Yet, with the right team of stylists, we can help give you the power and courage to make your hair dreams come true; all while ensuring every step of the process is aligned with both Davines’ and Onyx’s eco friendly values.
“The onyx stone is all about strength, courage, and fortitude. This is a stone that will give you the power to face your fears and move on from them. Onyx is also a stone of protection. It absorbs and transforms negative energy and helps to prevent the drain of personal energy.” – Celina Wang

motto is “A good hair day can make anyone feel good and boost your self-esteem!”, and when
she’s behind the chair, that’s exactly how you’ll feel. Her specialties lie in Brunette Coloring and
her ability to perfect any hairstyle. Her favorite beverage is Americano coffee; and when she
isn’t slaying a final look for her clients, she’s probably somewhere enjoying the great outdoors
with her two sons, or traveling when she can.
Alexis | Creative Artist
Alexis ‘Lexie’ graduated from cosmetology school in 2016 in Upstate New York at just

and beautiful is what’s most rewarding to Lexie. When you sit in her chair, you’ll receive an
at-home hair care routine tailored to your exact hair needs, or your “Hair Diet,” as Lexie likes to
call it. She specializes in Hand Tied Weft Extensions, Vivid Colors, Red Hair, Balayage, and is

guitar, or adding to his crystal collection!

an Arroyo salon based out of New York. Getting to meet and work with different people from all

service is what makes it all worth it. Creating a unique blend of colors by using the balayage
technique is definitely Debbie’s favorite service to perform, yet she also specializes in razor cuts

two boys and her handsome dog Max!

she was just a child, and by 16 years old she knew it would turn into her career. Customizing

her knowledge by watching any and all hair content, trying out new recipes at home, and
