ABOUT ME
Alicia "Lele" Strickland, a 33-year-old native of Detroit, MI, has been passionate about hairstyling since the young age of 13. It was during her early teenage years that she discovered her love for transforming hair into beautiful and artistic creations. Her journey in the world of cosmetology began at Crockett Vocational Center, where she attended cosmetology school and obtained her license in 2009.
Natural Extensions quickly became Alicia's favorite hairstyle, as she finds joy in enhancing the natural beauty of her clients and providing them with a renewed sense of confidence.
