Owner
Length of time at salon:
I have been fortunate to be in this wonderful industry for 35 years and the owner of jacou for 28 years.
What you love about hairdressing?
Our industry is always changing as are my client’s needs. This keeps me motivated to seek out the very best education for my team and for myself. I love that I never stop learning!
What do you feel your strengths are as a stylist?
My strengths are consultation, cutting and color. I believe a great look starts with a thorough consultation. I love to help clients with their hair problems and am able to match clients with one of the jacou team member specialists that will best suit their needs. I understand the busy, time-poor woman and the need to create low maintenance cuts and colors that look amazing and suit the individual. I like to discuss and form a maintenance routine to suit your lifestyle. I have extensive experience with all hair types from fine to thick, long and super short, curly or straight. I love to evolve my client’s looks with each visit and I am not afraid to push the boundaries.
