Hair salon
Is there a latin hair salon in Anchorage and make up artist?
Good question. I couldn’t find any clear, widely known “Latin / Latino hair salons” in Anchorage, AK, nor a dedicated Latina makeup-artist studio, at least based on publicly available directories. Here’s what I found, plus some suggestions and caveats:
What the Research Shows
- No dedicated “Latino Hair Salon” in Anchorage: The site “AlaskaLatino.com” lists beauty-salon services for the Latin / Hispanic community, but for Anchorage, the listings are quite limited. There’s a directory page for “peluquerías para mujeres” (women’s hairdressers) in Anchorage.
- No clearly listed Latin-run makeup artist: On AlaskaLatino.com there is a “maquillaje” (make-up) section for Alaska’s Latino / Hispanic community. However, the directory does not always show specific names or active studios in Anchorage at any given time.
- Service listed at “Latino Hair Salon” site: There is a “Latino Hair Salon” business with a website, but it appears to be based in the U.S. Lower 48, not Anchorage. Their services page does list “Maquillaje” (makeup) and many hair services. So this is likely not a local salon in Alaska.
- Mainstream salons in Anchorage with beauty services: Ulta Beauty in Anchorage (Tikahtnu Commons) offers hair services, brow services, and makeup. So for a “safe bet” salon + makeup, this is a reliable option.
- No strong anecdotal evidence of a Latin stylist / salon: On Reddit / TripAdvisor, people have asked about Latin hair salons in Anchorage and several locals say they are not aware of stylists who specifically market as Latino salons.
What This Means for You
- There probably isn’t a well-established “Latino hair salon” in Anchorage at this time (or at least not one that’s visible through common online directories).
- If you don’t mind a mainstream salon, Ulta Beauty is a very good option for both hair and makeup services.
- If having a Latin / Spanish-speaking stylist is important to you (for cultural familiarity or language comfort), you might need to call several local salons to ask specifically, or check newer community directories / Facebook groups.
- For makeup, you might also try booking independent freelance makeup artists in Anchorage — even if they’re not Latino, many will do quality bridal or event makeup.
Suggestions to Move Forward
- Call salons in Anchorage and ask: “¿Tienen estilistas que hablan español o que son latinos?” — that might help you find someone not prominently listed online.
- Use local social media: post in Anchorage-area Facebook community groups (especially Hispanic / Latino groups) asking for recommendations of bilingual or Latino stylists / makeup artists.
- Check freelance makeup artist platforms (Instagram, The Knot, etc.) to see if any Albuquerque-based (or Anchorage-based) MUA list themselves as bilingual or Latin / Hispanic.
