I am Jessica and I’ve been a hairstylist for 12 years. Not a single day goes by that I don’t feel energetic and passionate about what I do. I am also the salon manager and have been for 8 years, and I am proud to say that our team is second to none.

What do I love the most about my career? I love making people feel good, it fulfills and motivates me. I am a ‘creative’ at heart, an ‘artist, and being a hair stylist nourishes my heart and soul.

I trained at Vidal Sassoon, London Academy which gave me the best foundation any hairstylist could ask for. I have since furthered my education at Paul Mithchell, Advanced Academy in Florida, and we also brought Sally Rogerson of SRA, to our salon to do in salon, hands-on, advanced training. Education is everything! It’s also important that we stay abreast of trends and advancements in our industry, and we therefore attend international hair shows such as ‘Salon International’ in London, and ‘Premier’ in Orlando.

People often ask me, what do I love most, cutting or colouring? It’s one of the hardest questions to answer, because truthfully I love it all. Long or short, curly or straight, men’s styling or women’s styling, I’m passionate about hair and making people feel great, and that means I find joy in it all!

I trained as a hairdresser at Peter Gotthard salon in Harrogate, North Yorkshire , England , starting in 1976, where I worked my way up to being a salon manger and working there for ten years , an excellent foundation for a fabulous career in hairdressing . We moved to Barbados and I opened my own business here in 1998… it has grown from strength to strength and I now share the management with my daughter Jessica . I believe in professionalism and stunning hair … which we strive to achieve at Zena & Co ..I have a fabulous team ready to welcome you , we want you to feel special . My skills are extensive and I still love everything about my job… my best days are spent behind that chair …
