Meet Jamie - Founder + Artistic Director

My story began in 2003 with a cosmetology license, a dream, and a deep love for the art of beauty. More than two decades later, that passion has evolved into a career rooted in luxury artistry, advanced blonding, transformational color, and elevated guest experience.

As the Founder and Artistic Director of Mystic Salon + Head Spa, I specialize in lived in blondes, dimensional blonding, luxury brunettes, gray blending, corrective color, and advanced color transformations with a strong focus on maintaining hair integrity and creating effortlessly expensive looking hair.

Throughout my career, I’ve trained under some of the beauty industry’s most respected artistic directors and platform artists, including Ted Gibson, Jason Backe, Jo Blackwell, Kimmarie Sclafani, Min Kim, and Nancy Braun. These experiences helped shape my philosophy around precision, consultation, customization, and master level artistry behind the chair.

For over 15 years, I refined my craft as a Master Colorist at Timothy Pamment Salon in Madison, Connecticut, where I became known for corrective color work, blonding expertise, dimensional color placement, and creating highly personalized hair journeys for guests throughout Connecticut’s shoreline communities.

Today, guests travel to Mystic Salon + Head Spa from Branford, Guilford, Madison, Old Saybrook, Old Lyme, East Lyme, Niantic, Stonington, Groton, Westerly, Watch Hill, Fishers Island, and beyond for luxury color services, advanced blonding, and scalp to strand wellness experiences performed with a deeply consultative approach.

My professional background also includes education, brand management, sales, and artistic development with some of the industry’s leading companies, including Four Star Salon Services, L’Oréal Professionnel, SalonCentric, and DePasquale Salon Systems. I additionally served as L’Oréal Professionnel’s Brand Manager for the state of Connecticut within the education sector.

Mystic Salon + Head Spa was created as the culmination of everything I’ve learned and loved throughout my career, a premier luxury salon experience serving Connecticut’s shoreline with elevated artistry, luxury hospitality, advanced scalp and hair wellness, and thoughtful, customized beauty experiences designed to help every guest feel confident, restored, and beautifully cared for.
