My name is Jamie Wallace, and I’m so happy you are here! I have been in the hair industry since 2004, buying a hair salon one month after graduating from college! I grew up in a very artistic and creative family, but had no background in beauty or fashion. Having wild and unruly hair, I really didn’t even spend a lot of time in salons growing up! When it came time for a career path, my parents didn’t want me to become an “artist”, so they sent me off to college to get a degree in business.
During my college years, I somehow became the girl known for doing all the hair and makeup for the sorority events and the university fashion shows. I found a knack for it, but never considered it to be something I could do for a career! After graduating, I decided to purchase a salon from a retiring stylist, with the intention of converting it into a small clothing boutique, joined with a salon. I enrolled in cosmetology school with the simple mindset of “this could be fun! I’ll do hair and sell clothes!” I’ve done a little of everything in the salon environment, and eventually I found my true purpose – Curly Hair!
Fast forward 15+ years later, my space has evolved into specialty salon focused on curly hair, and no longer sell clothing! I became an educator for DevaCurl in 2012, and now I am also able to travel the country sharing my knowledge of curly hair with hundreds of other hairstylists.
I truly love what I do, and nothing gives me greater joy than showing a woman how to feel beautiful and how to care for her hair.
