I have been doing hair in San Luis Obispo for 9 years and love the relationships I get to make with each and every client. My favorite part about what I do is getting to see my clients leave with a smile on their face and brightening their day. I love doing blondes, short textured haircuts, and beach waves.

Hi my name is Alexis Gutierrez, I’m a Makeup Artist here on the central coast area for six years now! I found my passion for makeup when I bought tickets for my first makeup class in Los Angeles CA at age 18 and then started turning my love for Makeup into a career. I specialize in weddings, photoshoots, special events and all of the above! I gained most of my experience working with M.A.C Cosmetics, practicing on friends and family,taking classes and learning from other Makeup Artist. If you don’t see me doing Makeup or Lash Extensions I’ll most likely be doing dog mom sh**!
