tell us about your background as a stylist

Jamie Byer has a true passion for the beauty industry and loves to share her adventure with others.

With a backbone education from Vidal Sassoon well over 16 years ago, Jamie has continued to perfect her craft as a stylist behind the chair. She is certified as a Goldwell Master Colorist, and has continued education with Bumble and Bumble’s “Straight Razor/Scissor” technique, Oribe’s “Runway Styling” in New York, and Schwarzkoph’s “Advance Color Placement” in Canada, just to name a few.

Jamie stepped up to the Boss Lady title when she opened the doors to an industrial chic salon, Parlour e.lev.en in 2015.

Not only does Jamie stand full time behind the chair, she has had the opportunity to travel throughout the US and Canada to educate for companies such as Brazilian Bond Builder and Pulp Riot.

This led her career into an extremely creative direction in which Jamie has been awarded with a BTC One Shot “Precision Stylist” award of the year along with 20 other nominations in categories such as Extension Transformation, Platinum Color, Overal Transformation, Haircut Transformation, and Unconventional Cut/Color.

With the constant change in trends, Jamie’s precision cutting and color theory stays classically edgy. She invented the ultimate hair stamping tool with Framar Int. called the “Parlour Press”. You can currently purchase the stamping kit at 1400 Cosmoprof stores throughout the US and Canada.

Although the life of a hairstylist can be fun and exciting, it can be emotionally draining. Jamie believes staying humble, mixed with hard work, self discipline, and determination is what separates the good from the great. She takes each day with a grain of salt and never forgets her journey.

After having her daughter Hazel Rose who is now 2, she sold her salon in 2023 to take a step back from ownership and to concentrate on her craft and the artist within. She’s thankful for all the opportunities that have come her way and looks forward to many more.
