As a graduate from Capri Institute, I have been doing all facets of hair. My specialty is in Dimensional Foiling and Updos for weddings. I am constantly taking classes to keep abreast of the latest in cutting and coloring.

I graduated from Artistic Academy with a vast knowledge in many different elements of cutting and coloring, as well as Bridal updos and makeup. My goal here at Salon Botanique is to expand my knowledge with organic and natural products that are not only less harmful to the hair and the environment but are healthier providing exceptional results.

Experienced cosmetologist with specialties in color but not limited to other phases of hair design. Working with natural and organic color lines has given many people the ability to color their hair without the use of chemicals and to improve the overall condition. My extensive knowledge and skill has allowed me to exercise the ability to service clients in a professional and artistic manner, with makeup artistry my passion. Another passion of mine is helping those suffering from all forms alopecia (baldness) with our customized wigs and hairpieces.

It is my belief that continuing higher education and following the latest fashion trends allows me to offer clients the latest techniques and practices in the industry. My previous training experience runs the gamut of Bumble & Bumble in NYC, Graham Webb in Washington DC, Goldwell Color, MD, Rusk and Vidal Sassoon.

Jessie specializes in dimensional, natural color and highlighting as well as women and men's haircut and event styling. She is also certified in formaldehyde-free Keratin Straightening Treatment. Her strong foundation in styling and color education and her desire to use our natural and organic products, makes her a well-rounded hairdresser.

With over 20 years experience in the industry, I mainly specialize in color and advanced haircutting techniques. Preferring to take the "whole you" into account, I believe this is more than just facial shape and hair texture to consider before choosing a final look.

I have trained extensively in coloring and cutting, including stints at the Sebastian Academy in New York as well as the Paul Mitchell and Vidal Sassoon Academies in L.A. Trendwise, I like to stay very current, well-versed in the fuller, textured looks that are making a comeback, while also being able to pull off any classic look you like. I am always looking for new ideas and I often incorporate them into my repertoire.

For the past 7 years, I have been following a largely organic, natural lifestyle...and working here at Salon Botanique seems like a perfect fit for me...naturally! (wink)

Being a massage therapist had allowed me to tap into many different needs expressed thru the client. The touch I administer whether it be gentle or firm is vital for each person. I give comfort to those in need by helping to re-vitalize their minds, body, and spirit.

Amanda Rose has been practicing mat Pilates for over ten years, and was trained by Physical Mind Institute of New York City in Matwork and Standing. Pilates is a mode of exercise created by Joe Pilates that emphasizes articulation of the spine, coordination of the breath with movement, abdominal strength, long and lean muscle tone, and flexibility. Her private sessions with clients are drawn from Joe's original mat exercises. "It is the Mind that Moves the Body," by Freidrich Schiller was one of Joe's favorite quotes. Creating this mind-body connection is one of the goals of Amanda Rose's sessions, resulting in a workout that is not only good for the physical body but the mind as well. Amanda Rose also specializes sculpt workouts, ballet, yoga, and relaxation. Her specialization work in Thomas Edison State College's Women's Exercise Training and Wellness program gives her the expertise to work with women, and special populations of women, to improve their physical wellbeing and health.
