the story

"do yourself a favor and start believing that nothing Is too good for you"

get to know me
and stick around

My journey with hair styling began in 1998 at a salon, where I worked and started forming my style and approach for 11 years. Following the salon, I freelanced for a decade, meeting hundreds of people, connecting with their individual stories, and writing my own as a stylist. In 2019 I officially launched my business, and since then it’s only been growing–a team, a new name, and new opportunities. From providing education to earning top spots in awards shows, The Sanctuary Story has bloomed beautifully in just a few short years. I am so grateful for each person I get to help feel authentic and empowered, for each story I get to be a part of, and for the ability to align my professional passions with my personal ethos. The Sanctuary Story is more than just a chair and styling tools, it is a cultivation of decades-long hard work, a manifestation of a creative vision, and a safe space for all hair, all bodies, and all people.

love notes

"I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR JESIE AND SS FOR THEIR WEDDING DAY HAIR AND COORDINATION! JESIE COMPLETELY ELEVATED MY VISION AND WORKED MIRACLES WITH MY FRAGILE AND THIN HAIR. JESIE IS A TRUE ARTIST AND THE KINDEST SOUL. I WAS NOT A CHILL BRIDE AND JESIE AND THEIR TEAM HELPED ME FEEL BETTER AND RELAX. ALL THE GIRLS LOOKED ABSOLUTELY STUNNING AND I WAS SO IN LOVE WITH MY HAIR! I ALSO LOVED HOW INCLUSIVE AND CARING THIS VENDOR IS IN EVERY STEP OF THE PROCESS."

"AS SOON AS I SAW THE SANCTUARY STORY’S PORTFOLIO I KNEW I HAD TO BOOK THEM FOR MY WEDDING; I ABSOLUTELY LOVED ALL OF THEIR STYLES AND HAD FULL CONFIDENCE THAT THEY’D BE ABLE TO CREATE MY DREAM WEDDING HAIR. TO SAY THAT THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT IS A MASSIVE UNDERSTATEMENT. JESIE IS AN ARTIST AND A MAGICIAN AND CRAFTED THE MOST GORGEOUS, DREAMY, INTRICATE HAIRSTYLE FOR ME ON MY WEDDING DAY; I WISH I COULD WEAR IT EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, I FELT LIKE A GODDESS."

"OMG JESIE IS ABSOLUTELY THE MOST WONDERFUL HUMAN I HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING AND WORKING WITH. THEY STYLED MY HAIR FOR MY WEDDING, AND FROM THE VERY FIRST CONTACT THEY LISTENED TO MY IDEAS AND WORKED WITH ME TO GET THE STYLE THAT I WANTED. THEY ARE SO WARM AND FRIENDLY, IT WAS LIKE HAVING MY BEST FRIEND DO MY HAIR!"
