Vision

Jessica wants to change the way people see beauty and self-care. The J.Walker Salon tagline, “When your outer looks good, your inner feels better,” echoes her personal philosophy. Beyond the traditional industry goals, Jessica believes that beauty goes deeper. Instead, she wants to inspire and help clients thrive by instilling confidence, creating personal expression and building community support. Nothing is more evident of this viewpoint than when the J.Walker staff helps cancer patients with the Diva for a Day program. Or, helping people become post-pandemic ready for work and events. “Nothing is more rewarding than seeing someone leave with a smile and a new outlook on the day,” Jessica explains.
