HAIR BY JEN

I talk a lot about hair! But never me 🤭

There’s a lot of things I don’t talk about often. But things that have really shaped who I am and how I show up here and at the salon.

Having cystic acne for so many years has really had its ups and downs. There’s days I feel so pretty and there’s days I dread how much makeup I have to put on. It’s painful and lasts for so long. And I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy.

My car accident is something I still deal with today. Slowly my confidence behind the wheel has come back. But I really don’t trust other people. It took me away from work and challenged me mentally and physically.

I love all of my tattoos. But hearing from family members that I ruined my body, or that I have too many, or when am I going to stop - sucks. I know it’s not everyone’s taste. But if it makes me happy then no one should feel the need to take that joy away from me with their opinions. I love being able to express myself creatively and my tattoos bring me so much happiness.

Going to the gym and working out has changed my life. Getting to create a space in the day for myself is huge for my mental health. I was in and out of physical therapy for year due to my body hurting from work. And I want to be in this career for years so working on my strength has always been a huge goal of mine. Now i’m pain free and just enjoy a good lift.

Opening my first studio in 2019 was the scariest thing ever. I never felt ready and I was so scared non of my clients would follow me. But here we are 8 years later and onto my second studio. It’s been a wild ride but having my studio is one of things I’m most proud of.

It’s my goal this year to share more about me. I relate so deeply with so many of my clients and their stories that I feel like many of you might relate to mine.

If you’ve been searching for a stylist who gets the struggles, the low confidence, the want for expression, the ability to help you overcome some of your hardest obstacles… I’m your gal! 🤎

Most people only ever see the finished result.

This is everything that happens before that.

Separating the hair.
Blending colors by hand to create something that doesn’t exist on a color ring.
Matching the roots to her natural color.
Building every bond individually.
Sized for her density, her texture, her hair specifically.

Each step happens before she even sits down for the install.

This is why extensions feel undetectable when they’re done right. It’s not luck. It’s prep. Every single time.

If you’ve had extensions before and they never quite felt like yours, this is probably the part that was missing.

Send me a message. Let’s talk about what that could look like for your hair.

I wasn’t always the one behind the chair.

I spent years damaging my own hair.
Bleaching it, cutting it, trying to fix it myself. And the worst part was nobody along the way told me what was actually happening or how to stop it.

I went off birth control and watched it fall out for months. This was worse than the damage.

I stood in front of the mirror and didn’t recognize myself.

That’s not a small thing. I know it isn’t because I’ve felt it.

It’s why I work the way I do. One client at a time, real conversations before anything else, and enough honesty to tell you if I’m not the right person for what you need.

I’m not asking you to walk in trusting me. I’m just asking you to reach out and tell me what’s been going on with your hair.

What you’ve tried. What hasn’t worked. What you actually want to feel like on the other side.

We’ll go from there. 🫶🏻
