My name is Jessica but feel free to call me Jess. Oliver's Hair Salon has been home, it is the only salon in which I have ever worked. Even after pursuing a degree in graphic design and working in corporate America for 8 years; I found my way back. I possess a genuine zeal for helping customers feel great about their hair and themselves. I am looking forward to meeting you. We can build a long and happy “hair friendship” together. P.S.
