Unhappy U2 now afraid of son

Hatchet has loved everyone in our house since we got her about a month ago. She goes to anyone, even new people who she has never seen. One of my son's who is 21 could do anything with her. When we brought her home Alex had a scruffy beard. He shaved it off two weeks ago. He walked into the room and Hatchet let out an awful scream and ran to the back of her cage. Hatchet will not come anywhere near Alex now. If Hatchet is out with us she goes to the furthest person away from Alex. If he comes near her she runs. Even if it means diving off someones shoulder head first to run as far as she can. Even if the person is someone she doesn't know. Alex has been sitting away from her cage when she is in (at least once a day, usaly more) and just talking to her. He is to the point now where he can come up by her cage and talk to her but if he touches her cage she dives off her perch and trys to hide in the back corner of her cage. She doesn't try to bite him or lung at him. Just runs. He never chases after her or forces her to be pet by him. She will take a treat from him, very carefully. Then won't move or eat the treat until he steps backs. He has never been mean to her or even raised his voice. Any other things we can be doing to get her back to loving him as much as she did? Alex is the one who will be caring for Hatchet when we are out of town.
