Owner/Hairstylist/Colorist/Make-Up Artist
Actor/Freelance Photographer
Hello, I'm Alphonse. My experience in the beauty industry began at the age of 10; simply from the touch of hair and experimenting with my mother's and sisters' makeup. It was then I knew a career as a hair and make-up artist would definitely be in my future. In high school, I taught myself how to cut hair from a book I found in my high school library. After graduating high school in 1983, I immediately attended beauty college. That pursuit allowed me to really submerge myself in all aspects of beauty. From haircuts, hair coloring to make-up.
After completing beauty college and receiving my Cosmetology license in 1984, my official journey as a true professional began. Throughout this journey, I've received and still get continuous education from the best of the best. I've studied global techniques from TONI & GUY (aka Bed Head), Rusk, Wella Professional, Aveda, Paul Mitchell, Kevyn Aucoin and many more.
After 35 years, I am still fulfilling that creativity. I was a hairstylist for the 2008 Garnier Fructis Tour, in which I had the absolute pleasure to work with Chuck Hezekiah, make-up artist for Maybelline Cosmetics and the T. V. show Lipstick Jungle. I have also done work for New Orleans and Southern Woman magazines, fashion shows for Saks Fifth Avenue, local fashion designers, 2 TLC Makeover Stories, and a segment for Inside Edition. However, I continuously love to emerse myself in hair and make-up. Everything from weddings, photo shoots, Halloween, Mardi Gras balls, graduations, Debutantes, sweet sixteen parties, dances, proms, to promotional events.
