Jenise, the extension specialist and master colorist from a private New York City salon, had us all in awe with her show-stopping styles and flawless color techniques that clinched her victory. Currently basking in the glory of her win, she’s gearing up for a week of intensive training, living the dream she never thought possible. “My reality seems like my wildest dreams coming true!” she can’t conceal her joy.
In her TV contest creations, Jenise weaves a tapestry of proportion, harmony, and sheer beauty in every haircut. One standout moment was her recreation of a polished hairstyle reminiscent of an exquisite screw shell. It was the display of not just her jaw-dropping skills but also the heartfelt affection she showers on those lucky enough to be in her stylist’s chair.
Jenise’s journey is a testament to her unyielding passion for her craft and her relentless pursuit of excellence in the world of beauty and fashion.

With two decades of experience under her belt, Dina, the master colorist specializing in balayage and ombré, reflects on her journey with grace. Choosing hairstyling over conventional career paths, she now owns a thriving hair and makeup studio in New Jersey. Currently working towards her cosmetology teaching degree, Dina embodies determination and personal growth.
One of her stellar contest works was a recreation of the 20s bridal look, where she perfected proportions and achieved harmony with a carefully chosen accessory.
Dina believes the magic lies in the emotion she imparts to her guests when they fall in love with their new locks. “I think the best part of what I do is the feeling that you transmit to your guest,” says Dina overswept with emotion when her guest is smitten with the new look.
