JENNY LUND

SHE/HER STYLIST

  • Jenny Lund is a San Francisco Bay Area native and a former co-owner of Marquee Salon in Oakland, CA. She began doing hair as a teenager by experimenting on willing friends in her family's basement. After pursuing a career in fashion design, Jenny returned to her first love, hair styling. Once finishing cosmetology school, she then completed an intensive apprenticeship at Festoon Salon in San Francisco and Berkeley, where she focused on both classic and creative hair cutting and color techniques.

    She has since taken many advanced education courses with Bumble and Bumble, Vidal Sassoon, L'Oreal Professional, Wella, Pony Salon, Shu Uemura, The Left Brain Group, and Tony and Guy. Jenny is also certified in the Mizani ‘Air Cut’ technique.

    Her favorite part of the salon experience is the collaboration that occurs between herself and her clients. “I love seeing what inspires my clients and then turning that idea into something both beautiful and achievable," Jenny says.

    When not at the salon, you can find Jenny walking her high-maintenance terrier, trying to decide what's for lunch, or indulging in the wealth of art and music here in the Classic City.

    Jenny’s pricing structure is listed on her booking site.

CLAIRE CAUDELL

SHE/HER

STYLIST

  • Claire grew up in hair salons, washing color bowls, sweeping, folding towels, and dusting the magazines. All because her mom has been doing hair for over 40 years.

    At the end of 2019, she decided to go to cosmetology school. She’d been around this world her whole life, dying her friends' hair on the bathroom floor in middle school, helping her mom around the salon, she and her sister fighting over the good products their mom would bring home… it just made sense.

    One of the biggest reasons hair made sense for Claire was her need to take care of people, and she wanted to find a salon that felt the same. When Claire found Jo and My Heart Salon it felt like the perfect fit!

    She’s finding her creativity and learning what she loves to do again.

    Claire’s pricing structure includes gratuity and is $80/hr.
