Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, her roots and family are salt of the earth and her beginnings just as rich as the deciduous evergreens filling her home landscape. Aleesa was first inspired by the sky’s color story late in the balmy afternoons, as the sun set and bands of rich browns and goldens rose to gray and stormy tones. It was a natural progression, studying the craft of cosmetology in Portland, Oregon, and becoming distinctly sought after for what Aleesa likes to call “lived in color”, a multidimensional display of natural complimenting color hues that mesh and blend brilliantly adding depth for an effortless look. The concept of Shear Rebel Studio surfaced; specifically for the rebelliousness it embodies. Aleesa does edgy, artistic hair, but don’t be alarmed by her artistic “edge”, timeless, classic looks are still her thing. She is driven by the harmony of treating every unique challenge to restore health and condition, while blending each own’s beauty goals to result in a mood uplifting, positive experience in a quiet, intimate studio. 

 

 

“I focus more over on the health of the scalp. A healthy scalp results in healthy hair. Healthy hair then becomes moldable to the artistic phase where color knowledge, chemistry, angles of the shear, and styling intuitiveness takes over.”
