Alex Orcutt, Stylist

“Hi I’m Alex! I’m an Oakland native, born and raised on the beautiful Piedmont Avenue. My love for hair started at a young age—I’d spend hours watching hair tutorials, captivated by the artistry and transformation of color. I love everything from blonding and balayage to bold, statement-making color, I thrive on big color projects and corrective work. Color is my true passion, I’m equally enthusiastic about extensions, which allow me to bring even more creativity to every look.

Creativity fuels me in every form. I’ve been an artist my entire life, expressing myself through painting, drawing, and a love for tattoos, makeup, and live music. Cooking and baking are also among my favorite ways to unleash my creativity and enjoy life outside of the salon. For me, hair isn’t just a job—it’s my passion, and it brings me pure happiness.“

Heather Jassem, Senior Stylist

“I have been in the hair industry for over 20 years . I have spent countless hours achieving advanced certifications in all aspects of hair color and balayage. A large portion of my career was spent as a educator for L’Orèal Professionel inspiring other stylists. I’m now focused on working behind the chair making my clients feel beautiful and achieving their perfect look. I’m continuously inspired by the beautiful hair I see fellow stylist do as well as the amazing style you can see all over the Bay Area.

When I’m not behind the chair at Alchemy Studio I love to travel the world , spend time with my family , go on nature walks with my dog Merritt , and laugh with my friends . “
