Abby Jones

Stylist

It all started 8 years ago…

I grew up in El Campo, Texas. I moved to San Marcos to attend Texas state university and graduated with a business management degree with a concentration in entrepreneurial studies. The summer after graduating I attended Aveda institute in Austin, Texas were I obtained my cosmology certification. I’ve been doing hair and loving it ever since! I just recently had my first baby and celebrated my first year of marriage with my husband, Cody! 

Areas of expertise

I love the art of balayage and the process of altering hair with chemicals such as coloring, bleaching and straightening treatments. I am also certified in Babe hair extensions. 

What do you love about your job

There are many aspects of being a hairstylist that I love. I love connecting with my clients and really growing a relationship with each and every one of them. When a client sits in my chair I try to make it a stress free, let it all out service. I love catching up with them as the weeks go by and tweak their hair needs each time! I also just love doing hair. I love the process of changing and sculpting hair. I treat my clients’ hair as my own, something that I create and maintain at every service.

Why did you get into this profession

I got into the business of doing hair because I love connecting with others and working with my hands and creating. I worked for years in retail and developed many relationships and thought that I could combine that with working with my hands. I loved doing hair as a small child, like a lot of little girls do but really didn’t think about making it a career until I graduated from college.

What is your secret to success

There are many “secrets” to success that aren’t really a secret, success should be shared and I think that’s key.

I work hard and diligently, I make myself available to a clients needs and create lasting relationships with them. My parents are the reason I appreciate and understand hard work, they taught me at a young age that if you want something you have to make it happen by giving it all you’ve got. My goal was to find a job I was good at and actually really enjoy and I found that doing hair.

Keeping up on my education is key too, times change and styles change so being on top of new trends will always help. I go to classes and research new techniques and scroll Instagram for hair tutorials!
