Meet Your Stylists

I’m Alicia, the proud owner of Wild Palms. With over 15 years of experience behind the chair, I specialize in crafting stunning color transformations, from vibrant blondes to seamless gray blending and beautiful balayage.

I absolutely love my craft and all the friendships I make along the way; it’s truly the best part of my job.

A little bit about me, I’m an only child and was raised by (2 First Sergeant). I’m married with 5 children and 4 grandchildren. We are a proud military family with 6 of my immediate family members currently serving or have served. We are locals here on the island and have one child (Stormi Grace) still at home and is going into the 8th grade.

As a proud island local and a proud military family, my passion for this community is unmatched. When I’m not at the salon, you can find me on the beach soaking up the sun, volunteering, or traveling with my family.

Come see me, sit in my chair, I would love to get to know you, and you will become part of our salon family.

Hi, I’m Kristina, a licensed nail technician at The Wild Palm in Port Aransas, Texas. Born and raised in Corpus Christi, I honed my skills at Bella Beauty College and have since dedicated myself to providing top-tier nail care. I specialize in manicures, pedicures, acrylic nails, dip powder nails, and hard gel enhancements (rubber base/builder gel), with a strong emphasis on detailed hand and cuticle care.

Nail artistry is my passion, and I love bringing creative visions to life—whether you prefer timeless elegance or bold, trend-setting designs. Using only high-quality, professional products, I stay up to date with the latest techniques to ensure every client leaves feeling pampered, polished, and confident.

I’d love to have you in my chair and create something beautiful together!

After completing my training, I returned to my hometown to bring personalized skincare to the Port Aransas and the Wild Palm community. As a proud mother of two boys, I value balance, care, and connection, and principles that are thoughtfully woven into every service I provide.

At Wild Palm, my goal is to enhance natural beauty while supporting long-term skin health in a calm, coastal, and restorative space where clients feel relaxed, confident, and refreshed from the inside out. Come see me and let me pamper you.

🌴✨ Hey y’all, I’m Brittany! ✨🌴

For me, being a hairstylist never really feels like work it feels like spending my days connecting with amazing people, sharing laughs, hearing life’s stories, and helping my clients leave feeling confident and beautiful.

One thing you’ll quickly learn about me is that sitting in my chair is about so much more than just getting your hair done. My clients become friends, and I truly love building relationships with the people who trust me with their hair. Whether we’re catching up on life, celebrating exciting moments, or simply taking a break from the hustle of everyday life, I want everyone who sits in my chair to feel welcomed, comfortable, and cared for.

I’ve been behind the chair for about 6 years, and one of my favorite things about this industry is that there’s always something new to learn and fresh inspiration around every corner. I’m passionate about continuing to grow, perfect my craft, and create hair that fits your lifestyle while making you feel your absolute best.

When I’m not in the salon, you’ll usually find me soaking up the island life with my son, surfing the waves, cruising around on our bikes, hunting for seashells, or searching for our next favorite read at the library. 🌊☀️📚

My goal is for every guest to leave my chair feeling refreshed, confident, beautiful, and like they’ve spent time with an old friend.

Whether you’re looking for a fresh cut, a color refresh, highlights, or a whole new look, I’d love to welcome you into my chair. Come relax, stay awhile, and let’s create hair you love while making a new friend along the way. 🤎🌴✨

See you at Wild Palm Salon & Spa! 🌊☀️🌴✨
