After going virtual, as many events did in 2020, the Houston Ballet Nutcracker Market returns to NRG this weekend for an in-person shopping bonanza! Last night's preview party celebrated the event, themed "The Redo" and featuring live music by the David Caceres Band.

A second-line processional marched up and down the main aisle as patrons cheered; afterward, confetti cannons erupted and "Jingle Bells" started playing, marking the official start of the holiday-shopping season.

Nearly 300 vendors from all over the country set up shop at NRG for the market, which takes place Thursday through Sunday. Eleven percent of ticket sales go directly to the Houston Ballet Foundation.

With Expertise in Blondes, Extensions and More, the Janelle Alexis Team Is a Go-To Salon

YOU CAN'T LIMIT Janelle to one title – Hairdresser. Her career and business has been established and built on a strong foundation. Using her two business degrees + one more in-process, this enables Janelle and the team to deliver not only a customer-focused experience, but a foundationally solid business. There is much more than meets the eye, and in sharing a little bit about Janelle, she was not only an international hair extension educator for over 14 years, but brings extensive expertise to blondes. She rounds this out with her previously launched namesake cosmetic line, which is a perfect complement to her belief that “Beauty is our Business”.
