Jackie Garner
Stylist Designer / Nail
Technician |
I have completed a 9 month apprenticeship under the salon owner, Lise Cooke. Through her guidance, I have been trained to see through the clients eyes and make them more confident about themselves. I've seen and learned techniques from the world's top stylists at several international hair shows, including Paul Mitchell's Signature Gathering in Las Vegas.
My extensive cut and color training I have obtained through Matrix, Sebastian, and Paul Mitchell has taught me to be a stylist that brings out your inner self, either through hair or make up. I've had the honor of working with the Greensboro Opera Company and being a guest speaker to young stylist at a local beauty school. |

Ola Jenkins
Couture Designer |
My
skills over 30 years of experience
have evolved into free spirited hair
artistry. I graduated from Raleigh
based Mitchell’s, a well known
and respected name in the business.
I’ve been internationally trained
and worked in top salons in Texas,
Indiana, and here in North Carolina.
It has been an honor studying under
numerous innovative hairdressing professionals.
Such hands-on product knowledge, cutting
edge hair cuts, and color education
have ranged from Houston, Dallas, Corpus
Christy, Texas, Indianapolis, Indiana,
New York, and Las Vegas.
In addition to that education, we have
as a group attended the International
Premier Hair Show in Orlando, Florida
for many years. We also attended Sebastian
and Matrix in salon classes on the latest
trends 3 to 4 times a year. I’ve
developed a unique skill of cutting in
the area of difficult and hard to deal
with hair. I truly enjoy being around
people and making them happy and laughing
with them. |

| Sophisticated
to funky or a little in between: My
style comes from training with Vidal
Sassoon of New York—Pivot Point
International Team. Progressions offer
a wide variety of education opportunities.
Both Sebastian, Matrix and Wella Systems
frequently visit our salon. Curly haired
individuals are especially fun because
of the challenge. Coloring, perming,
styling, watching transformations and
making people happy is my specialty. |
