We had the good fortune of connecting with Alexza Maldonado and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alexza, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important part for my success is making people happy. Creating art on their hair to help others love themselves more and also feel their best! Having convos about what they’re wanting so you can ensure they receive the hair they want. Being a good listener and making people feel welcomed definitely helps!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
What sets me apart is my personality, honestly. Also I ONLY cut what you ask off of your hair. (we’ve all heard of those traumatic experiences) Getting to where I am at now definitely wasn’t easy. It was scary and stressful. I used to go from interview to interview but no one offered a great pay back in 2020, sadly. I never gave up. I settled for a job since I moved out and that’s where I realized that I couldn’t work in a place that didn’t appreciate me so a friend of mine gave me a push to be self employed and it was the most rewarding decision. I truly love my career and I wouldn’t change it for anything!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Ooooh. I love this question. Lol I’m very spontaneous and enjoy trying new things! I would first take them to get the best coffee on planet earth from Hola Cafe located in Oak Cliff. (The Dulce Latte, iced with oat milk: 🔥) then I would probably go to gym 🙊 and thennnnnn take them either to El Encanto or Crickle and Co? Those spots are pretty delightful THOUGH, they actually have good coffee there too! After that I guess we could either go to like tjmaxx, or the mall? I’m not sure but Avanti for dinner sounds good 🫡 or Cava for lunch. Yum. Now I’m hungry. Basically something “fun” involves eating! Lol

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Everyone in my life deserves recognition! Without my friends, family and clients, I would not be where I’m at today. I am forever grateful and thankful to God for allowing me to have this gift with my hands. 🥲
