Hi, I’m Jacob, an Emerging Artist at Craft House Salon with eight years in the beauty industry and a very real love for anything color.
​
I specialize in lived-in color, platinum blondes, creative color, and customized blonding services. Whether we are creating a double-process platinum, soft dimensional blonde, hand-painted balayage, or experimenting with the perfect shade of red, I love building color that feels intentional, personal, and completely tailored to the person sitting in my chair.
​
My work is rooted in creativity, color theory, and connection. I care deeply about understanding your goals, your lifestyle, your maintenance comfort zone, and how you want your hair to make you feel. A thorough consultation is always where we begin, because beautiful hair should make sense for your actual life, not just the inspiration photo.
​
As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, creating a safe, welcoming space is incredibly important to me. My chair is a place where you can feel comfortable, seen, heard, and fully yourself. I approach every appointment with open communication, honesty, and care, so we can build trust and create a look you can wear with confidence.
​
Clients who are a great fit for my chair usually have ideas, but are also open to professional guidance and creativity. I love working with people who want a tailored experience that does not feel cookie-cutter, especially if they are excited to try something fresh, dimensional, expressive, or a little unexpected.
My education includes the Craft House Color Training Program, Bellami Extensions certification, and Masters of Balayage. I am continuously working to grow my craft, especially in the areas of color placement, formulation, blonding, depth, dimension, and customized results.
​
Outside the salon, you can usually find me singing at the top of my lungs, traveling, walking my dog Arya, spending time with my husband, catching a Broadway show, talking about Lady Gaga, or cozying up with my loved ones. I’m also always happy to talk music, musical theatre, pets, TV shows, travel, fashion, and Davines.
​
When you sit in my chair, you can expect a professional, fun, warm experience with beautiful hair results. My goal is for every client to leave feeling confident, authentic, and excited about their hair until the next time we see each other.
