Meet Jennah
Leaving a life behind that was all I thought I could ever hope for, I took my greatest leap of faith yet in 2019. After years of having too much week at the end of my money, I decided I wanted something more for myself. I finally was brave enough to dream bigger and start with betting on me. Quitting my barista job without a plan, I jumped at the opportunity presented to me to go to cosmetology school.
While there, I discovered just how gaping the holes in the industry were for curls & the education around them, both for the professional and the client.
On my journey to understanding my own low density, fine curls, (Shout out to my Eleven Strand Crew!) I recognized the shortcomings in the industry and everything clicked. I quickly saw the opportunities curls presented due to the severe lack of reliable educational resources, curl specialists & the massive amount of readily available misinformation.
My goal as a Curl Specialist is to provide top shelf education to my clients by delivering a truly tailored experience, no matter the texture, pattern, density, or tendencies of your hair. We all dream of effortless natural curls that feel recreatable at home and here is where I get to show you exactly how to get from messy bun to luscious mane with the least amount of effort possible.
When I am not in the salon, I manage the Southern New England Admirals, a semi-pro football team out of North Smithfield, RI. So you would be most apt to find me on a football field with my guys or at home with my french bulldog, Stark. I am an avid dog person, a Starbucks lover, a seeker of knowledge, & a person of passionate nature in all I do.
I am deeply honored to be able to provide this incredible space for my clients. To teach, to support, to guide and to empower you on your journey to healthy, uncomplicated curls. I look forward to serving you.

“I’ve been to many different Rezo/Deva certified stylists and by far Jennah is the best! I started my blonde transition with her from box died black hair. Even after the first process I saw an amazing transition. She prioritized my curl pattern staying healthy while making me happy with the color at the same time. I refuse to get my hair cut/colored by anyone else! I’ll even come home to Boston from school just for an appointment with her.”

“I first came to Jennah about a year ago when I felt completely lost in the millions of online articles and curly hair recommendations that became too much to digest. I was lucky enough to randomly get Jennah as my curl specialist at her previous salon and I can’t imagine ever seeing anyone else. She takes the time to teach you everything you need to know about textured hair - how to wash it (or not wash it), how to style it, how to refresh it - and she makes sure to explain why things work the way they do. My hair has changed drastically since Jennah worked her magic, which has allowed me to feel more like myself and also feel more confident in my abilities to actually style and enjoy my curls! I recommend Jennah to literally anyone looking for not only an amazing stylist, but someone who loves what they do and is truly just a beautiful light to be around. She is the best of the best!”

“I had a great first-time curly hair experience with Jennah. She was very understanding of my lack of knowledge about curly hair and showed me how to style it without judgement (very important to those of us with hair salon anxiety!) When she cut my hair I was in love with the results; I appreciate how much effort she put into making sure I felt comfortable styling my curly hair, even in a busy setting! I would definitely return to Jennah for any curl hair needs!”

Let me tell you.. if you're looking to have your curls cut, tamed or just maintained, Jennah is THE ONE!
I recently moved to Boston and as a mother I was desperate to find a stylist specializing in curls and who could manage my daughters tight coils and after a year I finally met Jennah.
I'm not gonna lie, coming from New York, I had been in search of a black stylist but from the moment we met, Jennah's energy put me at ease. She delivered everything and more.
Carefully explaining every product and technique to properly cleanse, hydrate and style, Jennah turned our appointment into a tutorial. She quickly sensed my daughter felt discouraged by her full head of kinky curls and rather than agreeing to cut it, she gave her the encouragement and skills for daily maintenance and tricks to keep it hydrated. From her wash to cut and style, it was three hours of embracing every curl on my daughter's head and individually defining each curl, allowing them to bounce and swing. I promise you, Jennah has gifted hands cause I have never seen my daughters hair so perfectly styled. And let me tell you she did this while balancing three other clients, a latino, white and mixed; all requiring different techniques. It was more of an experience than an appointment and my daughter's happiness was priceless.

Jennah is incredible - she has been cutting my hair for a year now, and I wanted to add some dimension to my red curls. As usual, I have trouble articulating myself about my hair desires, but Jennah translates like a pro. A week later, I have styled my hair myself and the cut is exceptional - the curls move beautifully with minimal effort and product and the pintura highlights and low lights accentuate my natural reds without looking fake. What an artist. Thank you Jennah!!

I have been getting my hair cut by Jennah since I moved to Boston and I have never felt so happy with the way my hair looks and feels. As a curly girl that had never had a curly cut before, I can't recommend Jennah enough! Not only does she always give me exactly the look I'm going for every time, but she also teaches me how to care for and style my hair to get the most out of my cut. She understands my lifestyle and always gives me a stunning cut that I can successfully recreate on my own at home. Being able to style my hair on my own is a testament to Jennah's skills not only as a hairstylist but also as an educator. Sitting in Jennah's chair is always a joy, and I always walk away feeling confident, beautiful, and like I can take on the world with my phenomenal hair!

This has been the best experience ever for me. Being new to the curly journey, I’ve grown quite frustrated with my hair and almost gave up after not being able to take care of it properly. Enter Jennah, a curly hair guru and wonderful soul who helped my understand my hair and how to best take care of it. Jennah was awesome! She was patient and kind and fun to talk to, and she answered the bazillion questions I had and walked me through the process of taking care of my hair step by step and even simplified the journey for me. By the end of our time, I was so happy that I had to book my next appointment with her ASAP!
