Servant Leader. Master Cosmetologist. Entrepreneur. Travel Stylist. Educator. Speaker. Author.

I am 35 years old and a Savannah native. Although I wear many hats in life I am first a daughter of the King and absolutely love building, teaching, and empowering God's people for the kingdom. I am a leader that finds joy in helping others through transition and transformation through stages of life, business, and beauty.

I have been in the industry for 18+ years. I remember when I was 13, my parents started to invest in my gift by purchasing marcel irons, mannequin's heads, blow dryers, and flat irons for Christmas and birthday presents. I started building a clientele while living with my parents that led me to finding a salon to work in after beauty school. My desire to become a beauty educator started in school. While I furthered my education and gained practical knowledge and skills, I would help my classmates with natural hair techniques and business skills while we serviced clients on the salon floor in beauty school. 

I have been graced with the gifts of teaching, speaking, and leading. My focus is to provide express the vision of the future through clear communication to lead the future generations.

My personal thought …..
In a world of chaos we need more leaders, speakers, and teachers to rise and take the stand to shape our future.

Alia Freeman, the owner and visionary behind Divine Allure Salon and Spa, has established a space where clients from all walks of life can indulge in pampering services in a single, welcoming environment. She offers texture and loc consultations both online and in-salon, providing clients with strategies and concepts on how to use products to achieve their hair goals. Clients leave her salon not only transformed and confident but also equipped with professional products and maintenance strategies.

With over 22 years of experience, Alia has made significant contributions to the beauty industry. She hosted Savannah’s first natural hair expo, offering eight years of education and products to help women, men, and children embrace and care for their natural hair. This expo has inspired many to transition from relaxed to natural hair and has provided vendors with a platform to share their products, and promoting healthy hair growth in the southeastern region.

Throughout her career, Alia has worked in various salon structures, including commission-based, booth rental, and salon suites. Drawing on her extensive experience, she offers coaching classes and courses to support other professionals in the industry. Currently, she hosts "The Fight to Unite Podcast," where she shares leadership and business tips for salon professionals in the beauty industry.

It is my personal desire as a leader in the industry, to create opportunities for professionals to grow and create environments where client can have a trusted space of freedom in beauty. It is my prayer to support the industry by impacting it with great innovations that will allow the industry to grow.

I am a dedicated trailblazer and builder that's fully committed to empowering the next generation in beauty and business. I look forward to connecting and building relationships in the community with the future faces of beauty.

Outside of my career I absolutely love spending time with my family, traveling, cooking and exploring! I'm highly passionate about learning new things that will always bring innovation and education to any platform I serve. In my free time you can always find me in a book or exploring the beautiful Savannah areas.
