PLATINUM.KEY

Having originated from the United States Jessi is based in Singapore and working as stylist, salon owner and KEVIN.MURPHY Educator. With a 10 year stint in Asia, Jessi is passionate about connecting stylists and reigniting their true passion for hairdressing.

This was in response to a growing lack of formal schooling for hairdressers in Singapore. The Parlour became a space where skills could be refined and talent could blossom. It’s at The Parlour where Jessi and her team pride themselves on their extensive knowledge of colour, cut and style and keeping their growing client base happy and up to date.

In 2015 Jessi was invited to join the KEVIN.MURPHY KEY Program and was shortly after given a GOLD.KEY.
