When you walk into Alexander Hair Creatives, you will often see more than one stylist collaborating on a guest. That is not by accident. It is part of how we work and grow together as a team, and your experience is better because of it.

Ever wonder what the different stylist titles actually mean? We believe in transparency. Understanding the difference between a salon assistant, apprentice, and associate gives you a deeper appreciation for the talent, training, and education that go into your service.

The Salon Assistant: The Salon's Right Hand

A salon assistant is a vital support member for more experienced stylists. This position is often filled by someone new to the industry, sometimes even a student in cosmetology school, who is looking to gain real-world exposure to salon life. Their primary focus is on mastering the fundamentals and ensuring the salon runs smoothly.

Key duties: greeting guests, managing appointments, preparing stations, mixing color, shampooing, and providing relaxing scalp massages.

What they learn: salon flow, guest care, timing, and the core techniques they will build on as they grow.

At Alexander Hair Creatives, we love celebrating all hair types—and curly hair deserves just as much care, love, and attention as any other texture. That’s why we’re obsessed with the Curl Expression range from L’Oréal Professionnel. Designed specifically for waves, curls, and coils, this collection helps enhance definition, hydration, and shine without the heaviness or frizz that often come with curl care products.

The Science Behind the Shine

Curl Expression is powered by ingredients that target what curls need most: moisture and strength. The line features glycerin to hydrate deep within the hair fiber, hibiscus seed extract for softness, and a unique combination of technology that locks in definition while preventing humidity from taking over. The result? Curls that stay bouncy, shiny, and touchably soft.

Why We Love It for Our Guests

As stylists, we see firsthand how curls can lose shape or moisture between appointments—especially in New England’s changing weather. Curl Expression keeps your hair balanced and manageable, whether it’s humid, cold, or somewhere in between. It’s perfect for anyone who wants soft, frizz-free curls that still feel lightweight and natural.
