JESS

She / Her or They / Them

Hi, it’s me, Jess! The human puppy dressed in neon who is bouncing around the studio!

  • Don’t let my enthusiastic nature fool you, I’m dedicated to my craft in a serious way. I have a Bachelors in Fine Arts, which greatly influences my approach to hair; considering form, detail, texture, and shape in a creative process much like a subtractive sculpture. I also understand that not all haircuts are aesthetically driven and that sometimes a haircut isn’t actually about your hair, but more of an aid in processing life changes or affirming identities. Personally, I have always used my hair to affirm my identity! While I do cut all lengths of hair, my experience of working in a barber shop does lend me more to shorter barbered looks. I find lots of joy in carving shapes and lines into haircuts to create ‘hair tattoos’, with the cherry on top being when I get to accentuate or create a design on short hair utilizing hair color and my art background.

  • With the amount of energy that I have, I spend my time out of the salon always occupied. I run a charity tape label “Strange Mono” with my husband, release solo tracks under the name “Lisp Whisperer,” and play bass in a few power violence projects. My favorite way to decompress is to spend time in my vegetable garden or snuggling up with my two cats and new member of the family my hound mix Hank. When I’m out in the garden I often find myself thinking about the parallels to haircutting in the concept of ‘pruning for growth’- it’s all connected!!!!

    • Available on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

    • All about creating “hair tattoos” through clipper work and painting with hair color.

    • I SHINE in barbering and short cuts but enjoy the entire spectrum of hair cutting.

    • Not ya crafter for anything natural looking or hair color on longer lengths.

    • Don’t bring up gardening unless you want that to be our whole conversation hahah!

    • Please ask about my pup Hank, and kitties Stoner Girlfriend & Peach Pie.

I’m so excited to see all the new and long-standing clients in my chair every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. If you’re looking forward to gushing about your passions while I elevate your precision clipper cut, then we’re both in for a good time! BOOK NOW!
