OUR TEAM
Jessica
OWNER/TIER 3 STYLIST
After getting her cosmetology license in 2005, moving to the west coast where she worked for companies like MAC and MAKEUP FOREVER for almost 8 years, Jessica began missing being in a salon and after moving back worked to quickly open her own in 2017. She has focused her education the past 6 years on lived-in color and hand tied extension methods taking classes with Mane Ivy, Jenn Park, Dom Dom, Sarah May Level 10, Business of Balayage, The Luna Method, SKW, Sarah MG and attending Nine Zero One Academy. She wants clients to feel like they are spending the afternoon hanging with friends while they are at the salon and works to create a place where everyone feels confident and empowered surrounded by other supportive women.
As a vegan and animal lover, Jessica has curated a salon with brands that are vegan and cruelty free while looking for sustainable practices to help lessen our industries effects on the environment and our health. Outside the salon she is a yoga enthusiast, plant based foodie and loves a good karaoke night with her friends singing spice girls and 90’s R&B. She and her husband take care of their fur babies and enjoy traveling with friends.
