Aleksei

You never quite know what to expect with Aleksei, and that's exactly the point. He's one of a kind. Quirky, effortlessly likeable, and completely himself at all times. Everyone gets along with him. He's just as happy jumping into a conversation as he is quietly doing his thing, and no matter what, the energy around his chair is relaxed, easy, and pressure-free.

His approach to hair is just as distinctive. With a Tony and Guy background, Aleksei brings an unorthodox eye to everything he does at AANUKO Culver City. He thrives in the space where a haircut looks effortlessly undone but every detail is intentional. Feather-razored texture, lived-in shags, messy layers that look like they fell into place on their own but were actually crafted with precision. If you're looking for something that feels modern, a little unexpected, and completely your own, he's the one to book.

But range is the real story. Aleksei's service list is one of the deepest on the team. Beyond cuts and styling, he handles color work across the board: highlights, balayage, all-over color, bleach and tone, root retouches. Short hair, long hair, curly hair, grow-outs. If it involves hair, he can do it, and he'll probably find a way to make it more interesting than you expected.
