Salon Owner- Lashes- Makeup
Alondra Gomez
My passion for hair and makeup started my Junior year at Leander High School, taking their cosmetology course. After high school, I began my passion as a makeup artist and established a career as a paralegal specializing in criminal and Immigration law. For the past 13 years, makeup had always been a weekend job up until about a year and a half ago, I decided to make a huge step and drop the towel as a paralegal and focus on what I love to do which is hair and makeup. I have met great people in this industry along the way that have helped this transition to be a little at ease. I now have my own salon, Monarch; Hair, Face and Body. My goal is to be a one stop salon where you can either come get your hair color done, a blow dry and style, a facial, massage, you name it, we have it!

Stylist
Trish Shields
Hello, my name is Trish Shields. I have been a hairdresser since 1984. I am a mother of 3 and most of all a grandmother to 8 amazing children. The best part of being a hairstylist is the people, becoming close to your clients then later seeing them like family and even better, watching their kids grow up is so amazing to me. What I enjoy the most is doing hairstyles and perms. While you sit in my chair you can either vent or simply relax and enjoy your time. The confidence my clients get every time they leave my chair is so rewarding.
Barber
Russell Merritt
Originally from Sacramento California, learned how to cut while living in Los Angeles. His journey led him to join the military, which landed here in Austin, Tx. He’s proud to say he is a veteran on a mission to keep Austin fresh one head at a time! Come see him on Thursdays.
Stylist
Lee Rodriguez
I'm Lee and have been doing hair for 26 years. I'm a Taurus and went to college here at St. Edwards in Austin before following my passion in beauty school at Baldwins North.
My main passion is styling hair, particularly updos and getting to see my finished product!
I've used many color lines; but, I treat my colors and products like a date. If you can take bits from each line, you could make the perfect brand. I'm always willing to try out new products.
I originally got into hair to go to college and take care of my family and kids. But, once I got out and was trained at Tony & Guy for cutting, and Steve and Todd's for coloring, I discovered my hidden talents.
It's amazing what you learn about yourself when you put yourself out there. I have always had an engineering mind. By that, I mean problem solving. I love fixing things or making them better. Hair is no exception! If there is one saying I hate, it's "It's just hair"... mainly because I want it to look right the first time. I want to make people feel better about themselves. I've always been maternal.
