Haircare tips from professional stylist Cori Alexa!

Meet stylist Cori Alexa

As the owner, founder and head stylist of Alchemy Hair, Cori loves making clients feel beautiful, not only on the outside, but inside the too.

“We all deal with so much in our daily lives, and I love being the person that allows clients to relax, vent, smile, and get beautified at the same time.”

We asked Cori for a glimpse behind the chair:

Q: What is your number one piece of advice for clients?


It’s important to remember that 20% of your hair health and maintenance is done in the salon, and 80% of it is done at home.

So be sure to listen to your stylists when they tell you what products they recommend because they are truly catered to YOU and your hair type! We invest so much into our hair, might as well invest in products too! Keep that hair looking beautiful, making sure the color remains shiny, and conditioning to keep your hair healthy!

Q: How did you discover hOURS?


I’m lucky to have met MariLynne through another stylist who introduced me to the products, and as soon as I decided to open my own salon, I knew her products were going to be perfect for us! I’ve now been using hOURS for about two years!

Added Bonus: MariLynne is also based in New Jersey, so no better way to support local!

Q: Why do you choose hOURS?


I was looking for a clean brand that truly works! This brand is not only beautifully packaged on the outside, but the product inside actually works. I could not believe how amazing it made our clients hair feel and smell.

Q: If you had to pick your *one* can’t live without hOURS product, what would it be?


If I had to pick one product that I couldn’t live without— which is very hard because I would choose three—it would be the In Minutes Silkening Mask. My jaw hit the floor when I first used it. It truly works in minutes.

You know those clients that you bring back to the chair, and spend 10 minutes just brushing through their tangles? Not after this mask. We were all shocked. It makes the brush slide right through the hair, does not weigh the hair down, and adds insane shine and smoothness as well. We are OBSESSED.
