Hey there, it's Alexis!
Owner of The Shop Collective, I've spent 14 amazing years in the hair game, specializing in hair extensions, dimensional color, and hair-cutting, while connecting with incredible people and experiences. Whether I'm with my little fam, watching growth around me, or cracking jokes, I'm grateful for every moment.
Thank you for coming along and supporting this journey, for letting us be who we are in this beautiful city and for letting us shine as individuals and as a collective. Let's keep making magic together!

When I came up with the name for The Shop, I wanted it to mean something. I wanted it to evoke a certain feeling and be deeper than just a title. I wanted to connect with it, I wanted our guests to connect with it, and I wanted it to reflect what the brand is about.
And so, The Shop Collective was born.

The Shop, inspired by the automotive roots that gave this city a spot on the map, feels like Lansing. Almost everyone in this city knows someone who has worked in the automotive industry or a shop, in some form or another. But that alone didn’t feel right; I wanted it to be more; something for everyone. I wanted it to represent the incredible group of individuals that choose to come together in our space to connect, in our collective.
More personally, the initials of the salon are also that of one of my favorite and most missed humans, my late brother. TSC

Hey there! I'm Chelsea, a hairstylist, married to my high school sweetheart, and proud pet parent to our rescued Pitbull mix, Meisha. She's a total cuddle bug, and I dream of filling our home with rescue dogs! When I'm not styling hair, I'm off exploring new destinations—I love jet-setting whenever I can.
