Hi, I’m Jen

With over 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, my passion for my craft goes far beyond just good hair days. I’m deeply committed to helping everyone look and feel their absolute best, making this line of work not just a career, but a passion project.

My extensive education is rooted in Aveda training and complemented by multiple master certifications. These include corrective color; cutting for fine, thick, coarse, and wavy textures; short pixie and clippering techniques; balayage; and bridal hair and makeup.

I prioritize scalp health and using clean beauty products for styling, coloring, and keratin treatments. Through intuitive color placement and customized formulation, I offer everything from seamless gray blending and hand painted blondes to romantic reds, rich brunettes, and expert level color corrections.

My signature style focuses on effortless, purposeful looks that are easy to maintain and tailored to the individual’s lifestyle and hair type. Protecting the integrity of the hair is my top priority.

As an Arete Professional Educator and Ambassador, I’m passionate about supporting fellow stylists and sharing practical techniques that help guests feel confident and consistent in their everyday hair. My chair is a safe, welcoming space to relax, learn, and feel truly pampered with luxurious treatments.

Outside of the salon, you’ll find me thrifting vintage treasures, exploring the nooks and crannies of Maine, reading a good book, cooking new recipes, trying new restaurants, cross-country skiing, getting my hands dirty gardening and harvesting my own vegetables, caring for my houseplants, renovating our old farmhouse, and walking the trails with my pup Honey, and fully embracing the little things in life that bring beauty and joy to my heart.

  • “My visit to the hair garden was everything I needed before the holidays. My appointment with Jenn D was pure magic! Our conversation flowed with ease and the space was so safe and welcoming. I felt heard by Jenn and her knowledge was comforting. Her scalp scrub and massage was UNREAL, I’m still melting over it 3 days later. My hair looked and still feels fabulous. The products Jenn uses leaves your hair and scalp feeling healthy and beautiful. 10/10 in service, atmosphere, and results. I highly recommend booking with Jenn D!” 

  • “Jenn (mainehairmaven on socials) is an absolute treasure. As someone with a bit of anxiety around cutting my hair, she made me feel SO comfortable with her thorough consultation & overall kind & warm vibe. Her craft & skill are a 12/10, I couldn’t have asked for a better person and stylist to help me feel like me.”

  • “I LOVE this salon. It has such a quiet, peaceful atmosphere, I immediately felt comfortable. All the plants make it feel like you're in a serene garden, and it's so calming. Jenn asked me lots of questions about my hair, and really listened to my ideas of the overall look I was aiming for. She didn't once make me feel bad about my overgrown, self-done wolf cut. After much discussion and looking at inspo pictures, followed by some magical hair treatments that smelled amazing, she gave me an utterly beautiful haircut. I can't stop checking it out in the mirror, and it makes me happy every time! She worked with my hair's natural tendencies to create a style that can help me look like a financial professional during the week, and still lets me morph into a tree hugging dirt worshiper on the weekends. It’s perfect.”
