Aleese

Aleese was born and raised in Orange County. She grew up playing sports and eventually earned a soccer scholarship to the University of California, Irvine. After graduating with a degree in film and media she accepted a restaurant management position which then lead her to Atlanta, Georgia. The culture and environment inspired her to pursue her passion and go to Paul Mitchell Beauty School. For as long as Aleese can remember she has always loved doing hair. Whether it was doing her teammates hair before games or bribing her brother to let her color his hair. Hair has always been a passion of hers and since Atlanta became a destination for the film industry she had the opportunity to help style wigs for movies.

After moving back to California Aleese started working at Cristophe salon as an assistant and earned a spot as a colorist shortly after. Aleese’s style is “lived in color”. She loves to create a beautiful natural look for her clients that has a low maintenance upkeep. Although the natural look is her style she also loves a fun bold creative color. She enjoys taking on the challenge of a color correction and watching a client come to life after they see their results. Aleese also prides herself in spending time to consult and create a customized plan for each client. She wants all of her clients to feel their absolute best when they leave our salon.

Aleese also loves education and has taken on the role of Color Director. Her goal is to keep the staff updated with hair trends and to make sure everyone is continuing to grow in their craft. 

When Aleese is not at the salon or taking classes she is spending time with her family. She has two young kids and can’t wait until they start playing sports so she can be a “soccer mom”. She is also looking forward to traveling in the next few years and adding a puppy to complete their family.
