Luis & Kristen Chevere: From the Salon to the Ring

Not only are Luis and Kristen Chevere partners in life, but they are also partners in adventure. 

Based out of Austin Texas, Luis and Kristen are a multifaceted wrestling duo known as the “Cult of Crowley.” Going by their stage names, Alexander and Lilith, as a team, they have created their own wrestling character in their entirety, making their own costumes and investing in their own entrance song.

Kristen was introduced to wrestling at an early age after moving to Texas.

“It was either you like football, or you like wrestling,” she says. “Wrestling was huge because it had the theatrics to it. I was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s acting, but you are beating people up. This is the best thing I have ever seen.’”

Growing up in Puerto Rico, like Kristen, Luis’ passion for wrestling also began while young. 

“I was kind of born into it,” he says. “When you live on an island, there’s not really a whole lot you can do. So, the local wrestling shows were something me and other children would do together. Yell obscene things.”

In 2020, Luis and Kristen began booking local and statewide wrestling shows, and the pair have now traveled around the country wowing audiences with their talent, creativity, and love for the wrestling universe. More recently, they created original custom gear for WWE wrestler Karrion Kross, which he wore when he debuted, and can now be seen on his 2021 action figure.

Before entering the ring, both Luis and Kristen found success as hair stylists. 

Starting his education in cosmetology school, Luis’ hair career took off after graduation when he began to teach cutting techniques. In 2016, he chose to venture into the world of independent education. That move earned him six hair award nominations and opportunities to travel to Russia, Canada, Ireland, and London on the international education circuit. 

Kristen, on the other hand, had different aspirations after graduating cosmetology school. In 2010, she was able to achieve her dream in opening her very own hair salon, Now Salon, in San Antonio. The business continues to thrive today.

When Luis and Kristen met in 2016, he encouraged her to put her talent in hair coloring on social media, which led her to become a color educator and award nominations. Kristen describes their meeting as a modern-day love story.

“We met through Instagram, and he was teaching at one of my friend’s barbershops,” she says. I thought he was just a new hire. So, I had a friend of mine lurk his social media, first to see if he was gay or straight, and then to see if he was in a relationship. Turns out, he was straight and single. I reached out for him to come teach at the salon that I own, and it kind of just developed from there. It was kind of love at first sight, so to speak.”

From there, the couple have had the extraordinary opportunity to not only work together but perform together on the same stage.
