Hi, I’m Jai
My name is Jacqueline but my whole life everyone has called me Jai (“J”)! I have been in the beauty industry since 2004. After earning a bachelor’s degree in Speech & Hearing Sciences, I discovered my true passion for hair and enrolled in cosmetology school. I worked in salons until 2018, when I decided to focus exclusively on bridal hair and here I am today! I absolutely love what I do.
I’ve collaborated with top artists in the tri-state area, continually honing my craft. My brides choose me not only for my skill but also because they feel they can talk to me like a friend. I strive to be both personable and professional.
When I'm not styling brides, I'm dedicated to my family, spending time with my two young daughters, Emerie and Chloe.
I take great joy in crafting timeless, long-lasting hairstyles that help brides feel like the most beautiful version of themselves on their special day.
Every bride deserves to feel confident and glamorous on her wedding day, and I am truly honored to play a part in making that dream a reality.
Witnessing your bridal hair come together, seeing you at your most beautiful self, brings me immense joy. There's no greater passion for me than seeing you at your absolute best!

FAQs
-
As wedding dates are first come, first served, a signed contract and retainer are required. The retainer will be deducted from your wedding day invoice.
-
Booking 12-18 months in advance is ideal! Keep in mind that peak season is typically April-November.
-
Typically 40 minutes for bridesmaids/moms/guests and 1 hour (to 1.5) for the bride.
-
Due to high demand, I am unable to reserve dates without a contract and deposit therefore, trials are only available to brides that have booked with me.
-
For larger bridal parties of bride + 7, I do bring an additional stylist to help keep the day running smoothly and on time. Also for parties that have an early start and/or end time (ie: 5am start time with 8am finish for 6 people).
-
Getting ready locations 2 hours and over require an overnight stay close to the venue.
Getting ready locations that are within 30 minutes of Jai’s home base (South Plainfield, NJ) are complimentary. Locations 30 min to 50 minutes $75+; Locations over 50 minutes $100+.
Any parking fees (valet, garage) will also be due day of.

I love to work with Bellami Clip-In Extensions or Glam Seamless! A minimum of 18” is recommended for up styles and/or half-up. 20”-24” are highly suggested for Hollywood Waves/all down looks.
-
For both your trial and your wedding day I request hair to be clean and 100% dry and smooth. It’s easier to achieve the right amount of texture and volume for your style with clean hair.
-
Cash only for day-of services.
-
Yes! I work with so many talented MUA’s that I can connect you with. Just ask and I’d be happy to share my recommendations.
