Meet Alex: Men’s Stylist.
I'm passionate about the art of hair and love helping people feel their best through a fresh cut and style. Proud winner of the Fastest Fade at the New Mexico Barber Expo, I bring both skill and precision to every client in my chair.
Alex’s Expertise
I specialize in precision short haircuts, including clean fades and seamless tapers tailored to your style. I believe a great haircut is built on active listening and good conversation, creating a positive, high-energy space where you feel truly seen. My goal is for every client to walk away not just looking sharp, but feeling uplifted and confident.

What Clients Say
This is a Top Notch men’s salon. Before coming to Steel Blade, I had three terrible haircuts from reputable salons, so I was very hesitant. All that changed after my initial consultation with Alex. She took the time to listen, explained the plan clearly, and executed it perfectly. This is now my go-to spot, and I’ve already booked my next appointment, with Alex, of course.
