Originally from Green Bay, Wisconsin, Jenessa is a die-hard Packers fan…so feel free to bring up football while you’re in the chair. After completing her degree at Aveda, she moved to New York with a different path in mind. While finishing up her BA at NYU, she started working at a barbershop focusing solely on cutting. Though a barbershop wasn’t her speed, the art of cutting was. Jenessa found instant gratification whenever she picked up her scissors; creating her version of a masterpiece each time she cut. She found a men’s salon that catered to her passion honing her scissor-over-comb skills. Jenessa cultivated her own clientele and began training new stylists. After 7 years in New York, Jenessa found her niche with men’s short hair and was ready to take the next step to go out on her own. That’s how Groom House came to fruition.
