ABOUT ME
Jenae Yelina, a Hudson Valley native and subsequent resident of NYC for 20 years, grew up in a hair salon. She received her training and worked from the most prestigious metropolitan salons, where she acquired myriad cutting and color methods. Jenae loves both modern and classic cutting. For years, she has traveled working side by side next to the industry's greatest!
She has mastered and infuses many different cutting styles into her work; Sassoon, Pittini, the French and British techniques, Razor Cutting, Deva/Ouidad/Oribe/Rezo curl cutting methods, Sahag Dry Cutting, Dry Cut Sculpting methods and most importantly her natural artistic "eye" for design. Jenae can confidently shear through wet and dry hair, point and custom cut, slice, chip, slide, shear-over-comb and do it all with the greatest of ease. Ultimately, she embraced her signature style, "The French Cutting" method, usable for all hair types, especially her plethora of Curly Hair clientele. Jenae's particular cutting style presents revolutionary haircutting that makes use of the hair to frame the face while taking into account the shape of the client’s head. The haircut is sculpted in direct correlation to the individual’s bone structure and is more freestyle in nature, with the finishing cutwork performed after the hair is dried to emphasize movement and texture. The haircut results into wash and wear hair that contains various different looks.
As an artist, Jenae also craves an array of distinct premium color options while painting hair; Wella, Goldwell, Schwarzkopf, Redken, Joico, Pulp Riot, advanced Balayage and Airtouch highlighting techniques. Those are just a few among her palette while creating a hair color masterpiece. Furthering her education throughout her career led her to live and work all over Europe, Central America and Dubai. She then ventured and mastered the art of Hair Extensions and Wigs in India, then on to learning hair wrapping and braiding in Brazil.
