Super-sleek Christchurch salon True Grit is welcoming new style director Jessica Mapleson, fresh from five years in Queenstown, where she styled for high-end weddings, events and fashion shows.

With ten years of hairdressing experience behind her, Jessica has developed a huge passion for colour, and loves creating seamless blondes and balayage. When she was in Queenstown, she had the pleasure of styling for local fashion shows, and events like Kathryn Wilson Cliquot in the Snow and the Wild Hearts Wedding Fare.

Jessica's a big believer in staying up with the latest improvements in hairdressing, and finding areas to upskill by attending courses. Recently, she attended the Sydney Salon Hair and Harlow's workshop tour, the Ulyana Aster bridal masterclass and the huge Hair Expo Australia.

For Jessica, her client's confidence is the most important thing. "Helping clients look and feel beautiful is what I strive for," she says.

She's already up and running at the True Grit salon, so visit the website to book a session with Jessica or one of True Grit's other talented stylists.
