Jessica has been an integral part of our team since 2010. Always seeking out education to discover new techniques that enhance her skills, you can be sure to leave the salon in style, after having seen Jessica! Though she is equipped to create any color on the spectrum, she is known for her beautiful, and dimensional blondes in every tone.
If long hair is your thing, Jessica loves doing long, layered cuts to provide body and movement. 'Don't have long hair now? That's OK, she will craft your long hair herself, by adding extensions, making sure you know how to care for them to insure longevity.
Jessica's goal? "To provide anything that helps bring out the BEST version of you! I love to complete your look with color and cut to create the total look you long for." She loves her working environment and her salon family, and knows you will too! ..She loves channeling her creativity through hair, and is as genuine as they come!
