Desiree' Aleman
STYLIST

Hi. My name is Desiree Aleman. I grew up in Temple, and have known that I wanted to become a beautician since I was in the third grade. I attended Temple High School and simultaneously earned my cosmetology license before I graduated through their Cosmetology CTE Program. I am a Certified Redken Haircolor Authority, but I also enjoy doing nails and makeup along with hair color. My goal as a stylist is to make people look and feel great!

Larry Groseclose
STYLIST

After dressing and styling mannequins for 25 years, I decided to go to beauty school. Eleven years ago I began my hair career at a Redken Elite salon doing the associate program with Karen. I am a Certified Redken Specialist and Master Specialist. I love hair cutting and coloring, especially gray coverage color. Additionally, I have received my Cosmetology Instructor's license and teach full time at the local beauty school as well as work behind the chair part time.
