For a decade, Jesse worked as a hairstylist. On the surface, the job was about shape, color, proportion, and finish. Underneath, it was about discernment.

It meant learning to notice what someone could not quite name yet. Reading the difference between what looked good in isolation and what felt right on the person. Knowing when to refine, when to remove, and when one thoughtful detail could change the whole impression.


It also meant building trust quickly and protecting it carefully. A client was not only choosing a style. They were choosing a person to understand them, guide the decision, and make the result feel like a more coherent version of who they already were.
