With Expertise in Blondes, Extensions and More, the Janelle Alexis Team Is a Go-To Salon

YOU CAN'T LIMIT Janelle to one title – Hairdresser. Her career and business has been established and built on a strong foundation. Using her two business degrees + one more in-process, this enables Janelle and the team to deliver not only a customer-focused experience, but a foundationally solid business. There is much more than meets the eye, and in sharing a little bit about Janelle, she was not only an international hair extension educator for over 14 years, but brings extensive expertise to blondes. She rounds this out with her previously launched namesake cosmetic line, which is a perfect complement to her belief that “Beauty is our Business”.
At Janelle Alexis, we not only aspire to make each and every guest to feel and look their very best, we want everyone to feel like part of our amazing crazy family. We laugh, we cry, we dance, but most of all we value each other and every single guest that walks through the door. When visiting us, you are always greeted by our little ESA’s Gizmo and Luna, but we are more than just fun! We bring expertise and specialization with hair extensions, color, balayage, mens cuts, keratin treatments, make-up application and updo’s.

ONE OF HOUSTON'S most prominent and at times controversial businessmen will turn 100 next week. Oscar Wyatt, oilman and World War II hero, will meet the century mark July 11.
Wyatt, husband of world-famous socialite and philanthropist Lynn Wyatt, is a former Aggie football lineman and used car salesman who took out an $800 loan against his Ford truck to start a company that would later be worth billions.
The couple, which celebrated his 99th birthday and her 88th at a posh Petroleum Club dinner last summer, have represented the pinnacle of Texas society at home and abroad since they were married some 61 years ago. The cheeky idea was to get ahead of this year’s 100th, just in case. Perhaps unsurprising to those closest to Oscar, it looks like aviation enthusiast and longtime pilot will indeed meet the milestone.
CityBook visited with the Wyatts at home in River Oaks in 2021, and presented this in-depth profile of Oscar as he was to be honored at the Lone Star Flight Museum’s “Broad Stripes and Bright Stars” gala that fall.
Happy Birthday, Oscar!
