OWNER & MASTER STYLIST

JENNIFER TILLOTSON

Jennifer was born and raised in the Midwest. She has perfected her craft for over 20 years, specializing in razor cutting and multi-dimensional color techniques. 

Her dream of having her own salon became a reality in April of 2014, with a small space in downtown Port Royal. Creating a blended salon with commission stylists and studio suites. As the salon grew, we had to find a bigger and better space. Which led us to the Bellevue Business Park. Tucked back in the park, we saw ourselves as a hidden gem. This concept took like wildfire. It’s a private experience when you come to get your hair done, from where we are located to you and your stylist being in your own private room.

“With a welcoming team of professional stylists that truly love what they do, owning Shear Vintage is a dream that became a reality.”
