The training

A craft.

As well as being a stylist for twenty-two years, Jessica is also an educator. Not only within the industry, helping her colleagues refine their technique, but every day, with each client. For every client, she takes the time to understand their at-home styling routine, so it pairs with their tailor-made haircut.

A master in both scissor and razor haircutting, she works with you to determine your needs and expectations, and create a shape designed specifically for your lifestyle.

Questions

Questions

Do you speak English?

Yes. I am American, English is my first language. I also have solid notions in French. I can also work in silence if you prefer.

Where do English speakers get their haircuts in Paris?

You can find me at Texture, 5 Rue Saint-Maur, in the 11ᵉ arrondissement of Paris. The consultation, the cut and the conversation are all in English.

Where are your salons located?

The two studios are at Hawthorne Studio, 100 W 23rd Street in Chelsea Manhattan, and Texture at 5 Rue Saint-Maur in the 11ᵉ arrondissement of Paris.

Do you work with thick, long, or fine hair?

All textures and densities. More than half of my New York clients have very thick hair. Softening density without that razored feeling is what I am known for. I also work long, fine and curly hair.

Do you do color, balayage or color correction?

I don't offer color appointments, but I work with a talented team of colorists and would love to make a recommendation.

Are walk-ins accepted?

No. Both studios are by appointment only. New York opens four weeks in advance and tends to fill within seventy-two hours.

Do you do bridal styling?

Yes, bridal styling and special occasions, on consultation. Travel possible on request.
