About Amber Alvarez

Founder of Luna Hair Studio | Color Specialist | Podcast Host |

Hi, I’m Amber Alvarez: Hairstylist, creative entrepreneur, and your resident safe space curator.

I opened Luna Hair Studio in San Antonio nearly a decade ago with a vision: to create more than just a salon. I wanted to build a space where people could not only transform their hair, but feel seen, heard, and held. A space where vivid colors, deep conversations, healing laughter, and soft reboots happen all at once.

As a color specialist, I’ve spent 12 years mastering everything from blonding and balayage to vivid color transformations and corrective work. I love the artistry behind hair, but even more, I love the stories we share in the chair. Because this work isn’t just about looks: it’s about identity, visibility, and reclaiming how we show up in the world.

I’m also the host of the “Amber Talks Too Much” podcast, a passion project turned powerful platform where I explore life, business, culture, and healing through the lens of storytelling. From podcast episodes to client conversations, I believe in turning vulnerability into power and turning every shade on the hair or in our lives, into a bold expression of self.

My chair is open to everyone, especially those who’ve ever felt like they had to shrink themselves to fit in. Luna Hair Studio is Latina-owned, LGBTQ+ affirming, and intentionally designed for connection, creativity, and community.

Recognition & Milestones

I am proud to share that Luna Hair Studio has been recognized as one of San Antonio’s top salons, earning a spot in the San Antonio Express-News Reader's Choice Awards for three consecutive years (2016, 2017, 2018). Our work has been featured on SA Live, and highlighted by leading industry brands including Olaplex, Redken, Behind The Chair, and Framar. In 2025, we were honored to be nominated for the Innovation Award by the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a testament to our continued growth, creativity, and commitment to our community.

Testimonials

Amber is a charming and enthusiastic young woman and she explained carefully what services were needed and what kind of results to expect. At my appointment, it was immediately clear that Amber is a true pro. She painstakingly lifted the color and then applied highlights and then a toner followed up by a spectacular cut. She used Olaplex treatments throughout the process and my hair feels soft and manageable and healthy. Best of all, my hair looks amazing! It's a beautiful, silvery, blonde color and I am thrilled. She also explained in detail how to maintain my color and keep my hair healthy. A bonus is that Amber is charming and funny with a keen mind so I had a blast chatting with her through my lengthy appointment. I couldn't ask for a more perfect experience or result.
