Andy Alexandrou
Founder/ Stylist
Andy started hairdressing in 1996 at 16 years old where he worked as a junior at a small salon in down-town Nicosia, Cyprus while also attending a hairdressing academy.
His passion led him in 2000 to New York city at a hairdressing academy where he was given an amazing opportunity to work at Takamichi Hair N.Y.C. in 2001.
Working in New York was one of the most enlightening experiences as a hairdresser for Andy, he had the amazing opportunity to develop his creative identity in a wonderfully diverse environment. This experience allowed him the opportunity to work with amazingly talented hairdressers and stylists as well participate in the NEW YORK FASHION WEEK while he lived there.
In 2004 Andy returned to Nicosia where he worked at a well known salon while he began to actualize his dream of having his own salon - MOJO HAIR STUDIO.
In 2006, MOJO was created. The vision was born out of a need in the market for something different, new, fresh, and exciting.
