Alasia Costello- Cosmetologist

✨ My books are OPEN! ✨

If you’ve been thinking about getting your hair done, I’d love to have you in my chair! 🤍

💇🏻‍♀️ My service packages are completely optional. I also offer an à la carte menu, so we can customize your appointment to fit your hair goals and your budget.

If you’ve been looking for a new stylist or know someone who is, send me a DM or share this story! Your support truly means the world to my small business. 🫶🏻

Okay fine. I’ll post on fb. 😏

I tested acidic vs alkaline demi formulas so you don’t have to. 😉

Acidic formulas = sheer tights
→ soft deposit, allows the base to show through, and enhances shine.

Alkaline formulas = opaque tights
→ fuller pigment, blends up to 75% of gray, and can lift up to 1 level.

💡 Quick Tips:
• Acidic formulas → subtle toning and maintaining dimension
• Alkaline formulas → stronger coverage, more visible saturation, and light lift when needed

⭐️ Reminder: Starting base ALWAYS matters. Adjust fillers in the formula or fill prior to coloring as needed.

Alkaline vs acidic demi formulas aren’t about one brand.. they’re universal principles every stylist can use. 🤍 Understanding the difference leads to more predictable results and confidence behind the chair, no matter the color line. 😌

Formulas:
Shades EQ Acidic: 5n/6g equal parts w processing solution
Shades ALK Alkaline: 5n/6g equal parts w 10 volume developer

Stay tuned for the video breakdown! 🎥

BIG LIFE + BUSINESS UPDATE 🤍

This is a bittersweet one for me..

After a lot of thought, I’m stepping into a new chapter and moving into a private shared suite starting February 4th.. While I’m so excited for what’s ahead, leaving House of Color was not an easy decision.. This salon has truly been home.. a space that shaped me, supported me, and gave me so much love.

This move allows me to create a more personal, private, and elevated experience, while also being a more sustainable and affordable step for me as a business owner. It’s a change that gives me more scheduling flexibility, freedom, and room to grow.. which means I can continue showing up fully for my clients.

With this next chapter comes a few important updates:
✨ Updated pricing
✨ New website & booking
✨ Easier checkout + service add-ons at booking
✨ One-on-one, private appointments
✨ New services

Thank you for trusting me, supporting my growth, and walking into this next season with me 🤍 I can’t wait to welcome you into my new space.

Will update the links in my bio closer to that time & share with you all. 🥰

Here are some random facts about me you might not know:
1. My go-to fall 🍁 drink order is a medium iced salted caramel dirty oat milk chai with cookie butter drizzle! 🥤(I will NEVER say no to iced coffee, even in the middle of winter ☕❄️)
2. My guilty pleasure snacks are chips and salsa or talenti dairy free gelato. 😋
3. If I wasn’t a hairstylist, I’d probably do social work or event planning!
4. My favorite part of doing hair is making my clients feel beautiful while offering a safe space for them to clear their head! 🤔☁️
5. I rewatch early 2000s dramas every fall! Rn it’s Gilmore girls. 🤭
