Jessica Smith / Owner and Master Stylist
“Making people beautiful was always a passion of mine ever since I was a little girl. That passion is what inspired me to move to New Jersey to attend cosmetology school at Capri Institute. I was lucky enough to have an uncle who managed a successful salon where I worked as an intern. Then after working behind the chair for several years we had the opportunity to open Verve Hair Studio and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Working with our clients brings me so much joy!”
Deborah Cooper / Master Stylist
“I have always loved fashion and hair styling. I choose to make a career from those interests by attending the Jean Madeline Aveda Institute in Philadelphia. This experience paved the way for a lifetime of creativity. After several years in Philadelphia, I returned to my hometown of Lancaster and continued my love for hair and people. Upon moving back, a wonderful opportunity arrived in the form of opening Verve Hair Studio. I was able to have an amazing educational experience as a color educator for Keune until having my daughter. Since then, I have been enjoying my family and salon life. I continue to love following current hair trends and enjoy learning new things.”
Noel Nave / Stylist
“Being a hairstylist is all about helping people feel confident in who they are and how they look. I’ve always been the go-to person in my family—my mom and sisters came to me for advice on hair and fashion—so pursuing cosmetology felt like a natural choice when the program at my local CTC was suggested. After completing school, I was fortunate to work under my cousin at a spa, where I gained several years of experience in skincare before landing at Verve. Everyone here is incredibly welcoming, and I truly enjoy getting to know each guest who sits in my chair.”
