Get To Know Me!

My name is Alexis Pouncy but most people just call me Lex! Before you ask, yes my last name really is Pouncy.

I'm a licensed cosmetologist, who has spent 6 years in the industry! I specialize in: Bridal/Event Hairstyling, Print/Film Hairstyling and Educational Hairstyling.

How I got Started

Growing up I spent a lot of time around my grandma who's a costume designer, and my aunt who's a professional dancer. I was surrounded by TONS of preforming arts, pre-productions, plays and shows! I knew when I grew up, I'd want to be involved in all the creative magic around me.

Fast forward, I graduated high school in 2015 and immediately dive into cosmetology school. I then graduated from Paul Mitchell the School Dallas in 2016.

After graduating, I spent 2 years in two full-service salons doing: cuts, color etc. During my second year, it began to solidify that salon life wasn't the right fit for me.

I took a 6-month break from salon life, rediscovered my passion for creativity and the arts, then realized this was it!

Fast forward to the present where I have been celebrating 4 years of doing what I love!

Currently, I'm a Lead Bridal Hairstylist and Team Educator for The Studio 201 in Deep Ellum, where I've been working alongside Leslie Barajas in her studio since 2019.

Additionally, I've began cultivating my own freelance business where I hairstyle for: IMDb credited films, photoshoots and everything in between. Not to mention launching back into makeup artistry by enrolling into Boss Beauty Makeup Academy where I will be certified this coming April!
