"JSP Hair & Color Design is more than just a salon, it’s a tribute to the woman who inspired my journey, my mother. The name JSP carries her initials, a symbol of the love, support, and strength she gave me throughout my life. She was my biggest cheerleader, but breast cancer took her from us while I was still in cosmetology school, before she had the chance to see me build my dream.

​

Though she never saw my success, she remains the heart of everything I do. My career has been dedicated to making people feel beautiful in their own right, just as she made me feel empowered to chase my passion.  JSP is a reflection of her spirit: her kindness, her generosity, and her unwavering commitment to others.

​

She spent much of her life working with youth and young adults, guiding and uplifting them, and I’ve carried that same mission into my salon. My team is made up of talented, seasoned stylists who not only excel in their craft but also believe in giving back, mentoring and educating the next generation of beauty professionals. JSP Hair & Color Design is more than a business; it’s a family, a legacy, and a place where beauty, confidence, and education come together. It’s a space where my mother’s influence lives on, in every transformation, every lesson shared, and every person who walks through our doors feeling seen, valued, and beautiful."
