Jamie is a third-generation hairdresser with a passion for Aveda hair color. Her journey with this environmentally conscious company began in 2006 when she joined as an Aveda alumnus. Over the years, she discovered her love for sharing “Ah-Ha” moments and collaborating with fellow hair artists, leading her to become a certified Aveda hair color educator in 2013. In 2021, she achieved her dream of owning an Aveda salon and becoming a Purefessional.
Continuing education is at the heart of Jamie's philosophy, both for herself and her team at Cultivate Hair Salon. She firmly believes that the craft of being a hair artist can be challenging, especially when wearing multiple hats. To ensure their longevity and excellence behind the chair, Jamie advocates for filling their cups with education, passion, commitment and a hunger for learning.
Jamie specializes in lived-in color, providing custom color consultations, and handling color corrections. Her ultimate goal for her team and Cultivate is to create a wealthier life for everyone involved - not only in financials terms but also in terms of time, love,and health, all achieved through teamwork and continuous education.
