Jac is from Harlan, Kentucky, and he moved to Nashville not knowing many people, then found his crew at Beauty School.
With 8-12 years behind the chair, he’s known for natural-toned red and copper hair color and soft, dimensional blonde, and he loves pairing a cut with its color so it all works together.
Wavy and curly hair is his happy place. He got into textured hair as a baby stylist and now loves lived-in, textured cuts that let your natural movement shine.
Jac wants you to leave feeling confident, so he’ll gladly teach you an at-home hair routine to recreate your look.
His chair is a safe, comfy space to be totally honest about your haircut or anything else.
Ask him for TV and movie recs, about his runway-model dog, Priscilla, or take a guess at what his name stands for! When he’s not at the salon, he’s thrifting, upcycling, and sculpting tiny clay versions of his friends’ pets.
He was also recognized as a 2023 Beauty Launchpad 30 Under 30 honoree,
Current Faves: His Dyson blow dryer (“for the WIN!”) and the L’Oréal Prolonger line, which is amazing for hair that splits and breaks easily

“ Love this salon! Jac has been doing my hair for 2 years… maybe 3? After my first session with him, I became a loyal client. He is able to interpret my vision and talks through his process in a way that helps me understand how we can achieve what I want. I always walk out feeling great and uplifted. Jac is both a master at his craft and a wonderful person.
The salon itself is vibrant and maximalist without being too overstimulating. The staff are always kind and easy to talk to. Overall, it’s stellar!”
“Finding a salon when you move to a new city if you’re as particular as me can be SO hard. I found beauty school right when it opened and have loved every stylist I’ve worked with! From cut to color, everyone here is super talented and cool, and as an added bonus, the vibe of the salon is super unique and fun and the music is always 10/10! Highly recommend Jac for color (I’m a blonde and I somehow always leave feeling live I’ve had a makeover), he’s the best colorist in Nashville!
