ABOUT US
Jessica Reiner
Owner/Stylist
@rosiereiner.etc
Jess has been cutting and coloring locks for almost 13 years (legally) and for a long time before that (cheers to all her brave friends who let her work on them pre-licensure!) She's been lucky enough to take a lot of inspiring classes over the years and Jess would say the ones that resonated most focused on intuitive cutting:
"This method of cutting is near and dear to my heart because I used a straight razor before ever touching a scissor. Allowing the hair to tell you how it wants to move and where it wants to live fosters a unique and customized shape. I also love-love-love all shades of blonde: from golden retriever (think Sarah Jessica Parker circa, well, forever) to that perfect platinum hue and everything in between. One more thing (and I am just going to say it)… I live for doing perms. You can dress them up and call them body waves, but let’s call it what it is. A PERM. I want to make you curly!"

Hair product you’d bring to a desert island? Hairstory Undressed Spray
Most powerful hair style you’ve ever had? Anything that makes other people at least a little bit uncomfortable!
What most inspires you about hair? I'm most inspired by low maintenance and lazy hairstyles. having chronic health issues means most days I can't spend more than about 30 seconds on my hair and I don't want to feel like I have to do any more than that. everyone deserves the opportunity to feel confident about their hair regardless of how much time they're able to or want to spend on it.
A fun fact about you? I quit drinking 5 years ago and it was the best decision I've ever made in my life! Now my idea of fun is snuggling up with my 2 dogs and my cat and crocheting allll day long.

Hair product you’d bring to a desert island? Hairstory Undressed Spray (as the dry air will kill my hair)
Most powerful hair style you’ve ever had? French bob (I felt like I bled Chanel No. 5)
What most inspires you about hair? The immediate boost of confidence that comes with good hair. It’s always so fulfilling to help people feel like the best version of themselves.
A fun fact about you? I have a knack for finding four-leaf clovers.
