the stylist
I'm Jennifer - better known as Jenn. I am the bubbly friend who is always up for a spontaneous and fun adventure; but also the mum of the group that makes sure everyone is safe.
If I wasn't a hairstylist, I would probably be someone's personal assistant because I love everything and anything to do with organising.
​
Outside of work, you might find me dancing around on a pole - my preferred form of exercising; or more likely, you'll find me stuffing my face with some good food. My top favourite foods would hands down be either a burger or Japanese cuisine.

The most important thing you should know about me is that I absolutely ADORE baby elephants -insert heart eyes-
Ever since I can remember, I’ve always been creative and loved all things hands on. I enjoyed drawing; painting; scrapbooking; sewing; and making jewellery boxes out of scrap cardboard pieces (if you know, you know). Creativity and art always followed me wherever I went and I have always followed it as I’ve grown older.
However, coming out of high school, I didn’t think that I was creative or talented enough in anything to pursue a creative career path. I thought I wouldn’t be able to find a secure job. So instead, I ventured into psychology - a career path I chose just for the sake of choosing something that might bring me a stable future. A few years later and I came out of university with a Masters in Counselling. But honestly, I hated it. I definitely could not see myself going down this career path.
Somewhere in the midst of my schooling years, I would watch makeup tutorials on YouTube - a new form of creativity that I had never experienced when I was younger, but was now old enough to explore. Having practised on myself all the time, I got fairly good at it and would always have pretty makeup for all my special occasions. My hair on the other hand - not so pretty. And so, you’ve guessed it, I started watching YouTube tutorials on how to style hair. This time, I practised on my sister and she would always have a nice hairstyle for all her special occasions.
In 2016 my cousin was getting married. She had noticed that I had become my sisters personal hairstylist and asked if I was able to style her hair and her bridal party for her wedding. Of course I said yes! This sparked an idea my mind - I thought that maybe I could become a wedding hairstylist instead of a counsellor.
My hobby soon became my passion - I wanted to learn more about hairstyling; the different braids, techniques and tools. I would style anyone’s hair if the opportunity presented itself. Then my passion became my dream - I wanted to style women’s hair for weddings and special occasions. I wanted to help make them look and feel beautiful.
In 2017 after I had graduated from my Masters degree, I decided to make my dream a reality. I thought of a name; jumped onto Instagram and created an account. And thus, jayteehair was born.
