Alicia
Owner/Stylist
About
I graduated from Mayfield Cosmetology School in 2013! I have worked my way up from a smaller salon in Chesterland to a barber shop in Mayfield. From there I entered my career at Michael Christopher Salon and got the top education.
I enjoyed being a stylist there for 5 years, but now I’m ready to start the next chapter in my life, ownership. I am beyond excited to be apart of the Texture Hair Studio family!
Balayage is my favorite techniques to do, but I also love to do any color and cut that makes you happy!
Your happiness brings me happiness. I like to take the time to understand the struggles you are having with your hair and making a realistic goal! I want everyone to walk out feeling happy and confident!

Katie
Stylist
About
Graduated from Brown Aveda Institute in 2002 with 3 previous years experience already in the salon environment.
I worked briefly in Beachwood where I gained experience with mature styling and then joined Avanti Salon where I continued to grow as a stylist. There, I was privileged to the get most current and advanced education. After 9 years there it was time to take my career to the next level and enter ownership.
The opportunity to join Texture Hair Studio came at a great point in both my career and personal life in Spring of 2012.
In 2016 I decided to further my love for advanced education and joined Living Proof INC as an educator. I have had the privilege of traveling the country and even Canada helping to grow other stylists and learning the latest trends in cutting and styling myself. A high point in my career was definitely working with living proof at LA fashion week in 2017.
I currently am part of their artistic team and bring all of my latest education back to my clients. I love what I do and always strive to expand my limits!

Marissa
Makeup Artist
About
I’m a self-taught makeup artist with over 10 years of experience specializing in bridal and special occasion makeup. What began as a very part-time receptionist position at Texture, quickly grew into a side business that I truly love, thanks to the support of the incredibly talented stylists I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside and the amazing clients who have trusted me over the years.
My approach to makeup is “feature forward,” meaning I focus on enhancing each client’s natural beauty rather than masking it. I want every person who sits in my chair to still feel like themselves — just with a little extra sparkle, confidence, and pizzazz. Whether it’s a wedding day, photoshoot, special event, or a moment worth celebrating, I believe makeup should feel elevated, timeless, and personalized to you.
I’m passionate about creating a comfortable, uplifting experience where clients feel relaxed, heard, and cared for from start to finish. There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing someone light up when they look in the mirror. My ultimate goal is for every client to leave my chair feeling confident, radiant, and the most beautiful version of themselves.
