My name is Jonquil or Dreadful Jonquil. I am an
artisanal hair designer located in Western Washington's Snoqualmie Valley.
I have been licensed since 1993 and actively industry oriented since 1991. I
began training at Huron Valley Beauty Academy in Ann Arbor Mi, during my
junior year of high school. I worked on U of M's campus in downtown Ann Arbor
at a shop called "Campus Barber and Beauty salon" till I made the big move to
Seattle in 1997.
I have studied advanced service protocols for extensions, dreadlocks, and
hair architecture under ALin Leslie at Dollylocks salon near Tampa Fla. and
Melinda Hurt at Doctored Locks in Spokane Wa. * BOTH exquisite teachers!*
I specialize in combining form with function in hair design. Although I am particularly inspired by myth, magic, and macabre, I am also very deft at developing amazing hair that can perform in an office setting as well as a festival or theatric event. I
strive to create hair that is as much of an eyeful as it is natural feeling and easy to care for.
My current focus favorite work would be;
Interesting and detailed chemical color procedures that involve combining
unique shades of color and value scales . I like to create color situations
that have the ability to transition gracefully from one shade to another
..... I also enjoy hair cutting and shaping. I shape to enhance all
channels of mobility unique and flattering to the individual. I absolutley relish creating smooth seamless dreadlocks and
believe wholeheartedly in my creation and maintenance protocols. I offer
Micro pinchbraid application extensions to enhance integrity and interest of
ones hair...as well as length over all.....I also innovate
complimenting hairpieces, for fun... in my down time...I sell those on my
etsy store and at my studio. I had spent many years cultivating
an awareness to precision and individuality pertaining to more traditional
cutting and coloring methods. Those skills lend in a hand even in more
dynamic projects... I have endless imagination when it comes to creating hair that compliments faeries, vampires, and aliens to name a few scenarios.
I work by
appointment only out of my private hair studio in North Bend Wa., about a
half hour east of Seattle center.
