VANESSA ALCALA

STYLIST 

There’s a reason Vanessa Alcala’s client list reads like a “who’s who” of film and fashion. Her specialty is gorgeous, on-trend cuts that enhance the natural beauty of the people who wear them. Whether creating sexy layers or tousled waves, Vanessa develops looks that move effortlessly from the red carpet to everyday wear.

Having grown up at her mother’s California salon, Vanessa became an expert in hair texture. Her ability to create styles that are imminently flattering and easy to execute outside of the salon is truly unmatched. After moving to New York seven years ago, Vanessa grew a portfolio of work that creatively combines West Coast cool and East Coast sophistication. 

Whether she’s working with shears, upping volume with custom tape-in extensions, or taming tresses with the tools of her trade, Vanessa’s distinctive talent and personality make her one of New York City’s most in-demand stylists. Vanessa counts Kelly Ripa, Caroline Murphy, Jessica Szohr and Anita Ko among her devoted clients.
