Jamie ~ Senior Stylist: Because I knew from a young age that I wanted to be in this industry, I was fortunate to receive my cosmetology license while I was still in High School, having the chance to assist and learn from many talented stylists. I love what I do... color, cut and styling both men and women. I specialize in precision cuts such as the classic bob... to a really textured pixy cut, from coloring for women who like a very "natural" look, as well as those who are more daring. For me, developing relationships with clients and learning about a person can better help me learn and decide what look works best for them.
