Our history

The story of House of Mélora begins before the company itself.

It begins with a mother and father, Lakeida Alexander and Dr. Lael A. Alexander, whose journey carried their family from a Louisiana river town into international manufacturing. Their daughters grew up seeing creativity become work, and work become opportunity.

Dr. Lael A. Alexander’s influence as a designer helped nurture their creative abilities, and Lakeida Alexander’s example gave them the confidence to build. Inspired by both parents, the daughters pursued their own projects and developed distinct skills.

Those paths eventually led to a shared ambition: a beauty company created with people like them in mind.

House of Mélora brings that ambition into focus through hair, body, cosmetics, and fashion. It is the next chapter of a family story, written in the daughters’ own voices.
