Angel Lemus

Stylist - Laurelwood (East)

When did you start working at Pavo:
I started working at Pavo in September of 2015. I was 19 at the time.

My previous jobs:
Every job, before Pavo, was in the restaurant business, either working the register or being a host.

My hometown and places I have lived:
My hometown is Compton, California. I’ve lived in Long Beach, CA; Nashville; Franklin; Spring Hill; and now Memphis.

I decided to become a stylist because:
To make a long story short, I wasn’t allowed to be creative growing up, so when I moved out at the age of 17, I decided to be as expressive as possible. What better way to do that than to become a stylist?

Who is your dream client and why:
My dream client is someone who can connect with me more than just at the surface level. I’m providing a safe space to connect.

My professional goal is:
To be my best self in and outside of work and to instill confidence and happiness in everyone who sits in my chair.

What I want every client to know about me:
I am here for you!

If you aren’t at the salon, where else can you be found:
Outside of Pavo, I am either at CycleBar Midtown, weight lifting at Planet Fitness, streaming on Twitch, at your local drag bar, or spending time with my Teacup Chihuahua, Chiquita, at Overton Park.
