Salon Alex ... Who is Alex?

See on Instagram

Alex is not only the owner of this wonderful salon, but a well established hair stylist as well. After coming to America from Korea with his parents at just 19 years old he went to hairdressing school to become a color specialist- which he 100% is. Alex has 20 years of experience in the hair industry and worked in Manhattan and Manhasset, Long Island before coming to us in Westchester!

Alex is Vidal Sasson and Tony & Guy educated and is a master color expert certified by Wella & Schwarakopf Company. He specializes in Japanese Hair Straightening certified by the Milbon Company. He is also a licensed cosmetology instructor in New York State!

To give you a little more background on who Alex is as a person:

One day, about three years ago, Alex went on a family trip to Scarsdale, Westchester. It was Alex's first time visiting Westchester and he immediately fell in love with the neighborhood and the people!

Two months after this visit, Alex rented a small place to start his own business. Starting from zero, Alex built up a strong clientele base in just three years!

I met Alex while he was doing hair in that small place - located in Scarsdale, NY. I quickly realized that Alex had outgrown the space there and wasn't really working to his full potential.

As many of us know, this past year and a half has been incredibly challenging for the beauty industry. For so long, only essential businesses could remain open and subsequently, many of them have not been able to reopen.

Alex did not let the pandemic slow him down. In the middle of a global pandemic he opened his own salon - Salon Alex. Alex says that he opened his own salon for his client's safety and purchased a very spacious salon in Eastchester, NY.

Salon Alex is not only 5 times the space he used to work out of, but I'd argue it's 5 times more successful too! The salon itself is beautiful and no matter what time I go in, it is always packed.

Alex says that opening a salon in the middle of the pandemic was not an easy decision, but he knew he needed to provide a safer environment for his clients. (And I'll add: he needed the space to fit all of his clients!)

Why you need to book an appointment ASAP!

If you're like me and you like getting your hair done but don't entirely understand how to convey what you would like, Alex is the guy for you! I'm so happy with my hair each and every time I go to him and I've been a loyal customer of his for about 4 years now. My mom has been a loyal client for even longer!

Alex is passionate about continuing his education for inspiration. He has countless Beauty licenses and certifications. Alex loves his job because he can help others feel great about themselves and he is so proud to help so many people find their confidence and beauty.

Salon Alex is located at 7 Mill Rd, Eastchester, NY 10709, is open Tuesday through Saturday. Call them at (914) 584-2121! Book your appointment with them now! Tell him Catherine referred you!

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Please hold your blonde joke.

Rutgers University

Yify

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

University of Southern California

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

No, I can't help you.

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

4. Having the same conversations over and over again! To be honest I really don't even want to talk to you right now, or have this fake ass smile on my face!

5. Always having to have a smile on your face. I promise I'm not as happy as I may look!

6. Customers not understanding that sometimes, mistakes happen. I am a human being, we all mess up sometimes!

7. Having the boss from hell, it's their way or the highway! Even though I did my job correctly and efficiently, if I don't do it the exact way you do, I'm a piece of shit.

8. Having coworker who don't help out, who bend the rules just enough to screw you over.

9. Having to be at work after closing because a customer is taking forever and half! Not like I'd like to go home or anything!

10. Having shitty hours and more shifts than you asked for. Just because we don't have enough workers, doesn't mean I want to pick up every shift that you cant cover, oh great boss of mine!

11. Not having time for a social life. It gets old saying, "I can't I have work..." Every day of the week!

12. Having that lazy costumer who can't do anything for themselves... no please I'll get that, it's no problem at all!

It's just my face, I swear.

1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.

2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.

3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."

4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.

5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."

6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.

7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.

8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.

9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.

10. Your "mad face" scares you.

11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.

Please hold your blonde joke.

1. "Is Elle Woods your spirit animal?"

2. "Is that your natural hair color?"

3. "Oh wow, you get good grades at school?"

4. "You must really like the color pink!"

5. "You’re probably not into sports, right?"

6. "You must have such a bubbly personality."

7. "Your wardrobe must consist of all things preppy."

8. "What sorority are you in?"

9. "You were probably a cheerleader in high school."

10. "You look like you’re from L.A. because your hair is so light."

11. "You definitely like Pumpkin Spiced Lattes from Starbucks!"

12. "Do you actually think blondes have more fun?"

13. "You must encompass the typical “white girl” stereotype."

14. "Is that daddy’s credit card you’re using?"

15. "So all of your friends are blonde too?"

16. "I’m surprised about you; I thought you would be a lot ditsier."

The world's greatest university meets the world's greatest show.

1. When you get your acceptance letter

2. When you try to figure out how class enrollment works

3. When it’s move in day

4. When you arrive on campus and see all of the attractive people
