Jake grew up here in Milwaukee, and recently moved back to the area after living in Denver for four years. It was there that he attended Paul Mitchell the school for cosmetology; in conjunction to school, Jake also completed a one year apprenticeship at Elle B Salon in Denver, where he was able to expand his knowledge and hone in on his skills behind the chair. After school, Jake began building his clientele and working behind the chair full time at Elle B. 

Jake really loves connecting with his clients and helping them find solutions to challenges they may have. He enjoys creating blended blondes and radiant red heads, but also enjoys switching things up with men’s cuts. In his free time you’ll find Jake hiking near the lake, at home with his husband and cat, putting together Lego sets, or playing board games.
