If we have not yet had the pleasure of meeting, let me introduce myself. My name is Alyssa Richards and I am an independent hairstylist working out of D Hair co. in Gig Harbor, Washington. I have been in the industry now for 13 years. I feel extremely lucky to be in a career that allows me to be creative and meet so many wonderful people along the way.

In my professional career I have and continue to take any opportunity I can to learn. I enjoy going to classes to improve any skills I offer to my clients, including but not limited to cuts, colors, and special event styling. In the past, I have taken color master classes for Matrix hair color, balayage and hair painting classes by Nicki Wildflower, Olivia garden hair cutting technique classes, Wahl barber workshops, attend the annual Fashion Focus hair show to see the hottest trends of the year, and so much more. I want my clients to feel confident that I am always learning to keep their style up to date and to be the best stylist that I can. I also pride myself on taking time to understand your hair goals and communicate how we can get there, especially when there is a desire for a big change.

When I have a client in my chair you can often over hear laughter, talks about life, pretty much anything about animals - my other love. I enjoy getting to know my clients on a personal level so they can feel at home in my chair. My ultimate goal is not only a hairstyle that will leave my client confident, but a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Outside of the salon I love to hike, garden, work with animals and attend concerts. Between my wife Stephanee and I, we have three dogs, a horse, a parrot and two cats. The animals definitely keep me busy and I will more than likely share pictures of my fuzzy and feathered kids.

If I sound like I would be a good fit for you, book a consultation and/or appointment here. I would love to make your hair goals come true!
