Gwendolyn Jones

Owner/Stylist

My life behind the chair started a long, long time ago. I somehow convinced my Mom to let me cut her hair at the age of thirteen. From that moment I’ve had a pair of scissors in my hand. I started my career in this industry when I was eighteen years old and love it just as much today as I did almost three decades ago! I’m so thankful that I found my craft at such an early age and I have continued learning and growing in this industry daily. Hairstylists are such a unique breed. We get to touch people’s heads all day while doing our art on them at the same time. Nothing is more satisfying then doing someone’s hair and making them look and feel fabulous! I truly believe that to do great work you need to love what you do and then you never work a day in your life.

As far as services: I enjoy doing everything except updos. Not a huge fan. The last updo I did was in the mid 90’s. As far as hair color goes I had thought about being just a colorist at one point in my career. I quickly realized I’d miss cutting too much. I’ve seen tons of hair coloring and cutting techniques come and go over the years. I still take every opportunity to learn hair, whether that’s with further education or just plain old watching others do hair. My new goal is to go to barbering school and get my barbers license so that my bald fades will be super tight.

When I’m not at the salon I’m usually enjoying my time spent outdoors with my family. I have a preteen son so we keep him busy traveling a lot, usually camping or ski vacations. We love anything on a mountain: skiing, hiking and biking. We also don’t mind hitting up the water whether it’s a lake, river or ocean. We love to paddle board! If I’m not doing outside activities I always have a project I’m working on. I love decorating, renovating, and landscaping. In my next life I’m going to be a contractor. Another thing I really enjoy doing is listening to old school rap & cooking up enough food for an army. I’ve been known to take a picture or two here or there; I love photography. We also have my 93 year old mother living with us so I’m never bored & always busy!

I would love to see you in my chair for a consultation. I still enjoy seeing new clients.

Diana Fenstermacher (she/her)

Owner/Stylist

I didn’t know when I took a job as a salon receptionist in 2001 just how much it would change my path. After falling in love with the vibe of a busy salon, I enrolled in cosmetology school. It seemed the perfect way to marry creativity and service while hanging out with cool people and listening to music all day. Over the years, I’ve built a wonderful clientele of funny, warm folks.

I love enhancing my clients’ natural texture and color and I love ‘lazy’ hair. My color specialty is creating soft natural tones and vivid reds. I love a big dramatic chop or shocking color makeover. I also love the challenge of helping a client go from colored hair back to natural. My absolute favorite thing to do is short hair, from buzzcuts to pixie cuts and undercuts. I’ve attended hair shows and classes in New York and Las Vegas, including a two day Vidal Sassoon cutting class and a two day Organic Colorist Certification in Long Island. I’ve traveled out of the Valley many times to help wedding parties prepare for their big day. I especially love feeling connected to my clients – gaining trust, sharing milestones with them and learning about their lives and growing together. Making someone feel good about themselves is a magical gift.

When I’m not at the shop, I’m somewhere with my husband and our pug. I love board games, live music, movies, haunted attractions, tourist traps and guessing someone’s zodiac sign.

Sara Gardiner

Stylist

My name is Sara and I’m a Bethlehem local.  When I’m not at the shop my fiancé and I are usually trying to go on outdoor adventures.  We love traveling, live music and camping as much as possible.  We have a  Shiba Inu pup named Lucy and she’s our lovely little brat.

I originally went to school for fine arts.  I knew I wanted to work with my hands and create so I went to beauty school.  I fell in love with using hair as a medium.  I love doing creative and fashion colors as well as cutting wavy and curly hair. Hair painting is super fun and I have a passion for updos and formal styling.

Alexis Jaworowski

Stylist

After growing up in the Lehigh Valley, I moved to NYC in 2004. In 2008, I graduated from the Aveda Institute in Soho. While living in Brooklyn, I worked at a Nolita salon until 2016, when my partner & I relocated to the Lehigh Valley. Since moving back, I’ve continued to see clients in NYC on a monthly basis. 

In the salon my passion is creating natural, wearable cuts & color. I love employing multiple highlight techniques to create customized results for my clients, always preferring to enhance and blend rather than use a full coverage approach. I love cutting long layers, shags, long bangs, lobs and bobs!  Vivids are not my specialty (we have other ladies on our team that are ACE at rainbow hair!), but I do love creating a powdery pastel on baby blonde highlights for a perfect fade! After working in NYC for over a decade, I came to appreciate the idea of manageable, wash & go hair… low maintenance, practical, yet able to be dressed up or down. We’re busier humans than ever, and I want your hair to look awesome even if you can’t get in to see me for 12 weeks!

Outside of the salon, some of my favorite things to do in the Valley are eating soft serve frozen yogurt at King Kone, pancakes at Roasted, ramen at Mr. Lee’s and the lunch special at Biryani City. My partner and I are converting an old church-turned-photo studio into our dream home, so finding inspiration and doing home renovations is a big part of my life. When I need to relax, I love hanging with my family (especially my nephews), binge watching television shows, long walks and getting tattooed (which puts me in, legit, the most zen, meditative state).

I would love to see you for a consultation and hopefully as a client.

Brittany Boyle

Stylist

Hey there! I’m Brittany. I embarked on this journey in 2011 and I’ve been growing as a stylist ever since. It’s such a great feeling being able to make someone feel better about themselves and watch them regain their confidence right in front of my eyes.

I thrive on enhancing the natural canvas by doing balayage/hair painting techniques that radiate a natural glow while adding dimension. I love when I’m able to emphasize texture in my haircuts to achieve the “messy” and undone looks that look so effortless- I’m all about low maintenance. Give me a bottle of texture spray and I’m happy.

Growth is a priority for me and I love to continue my education through Salt Society’s platform. When I’m not behind the chair, my boyfriend and I are doing everything we possibly can to get out, travel and embrace nature. I love practicing interior decorating, binging HGTV and adding to my plant family – which I should probably stop doing. 

I get so excited having someone new in my chair! So if you’d like, we can get you set up with an appointment and we can work together to accomplish some hair magic.

Allison Johnson (she/her)

Stylist

Finally realizing I wanted to make the fun I had doing hair a reality, I studied Cosmetology at The Paul Mitchell School and was licensed in 2008. Since then, I worked, managed and owned a salon until I found my home at The Owl Cove. 

I get asked frequently what my favorite thing to do with hair is. My answer is always, “Everything.” I have an all around passion for my craft and enjoy cutting everything from pixies to long hair in a range of tones from lived-in natural color to more vivid looks. I love the challenge of correcting color and creating the perfect blonde for each one of my guests. If I had to pinpoint one favorite thing it would be creating a relationship with my guests: helping them to generate an individual hair plan, keeping their hair health, ideal look, budget and time in mind. I love offering them new looks and ways to change it up while still keeping within their personal journey. 

As well as coloring and cutting hair, I am certified in both keratin treatments and extensions.

Working in the industry for years, I find continuing education extremely important, as trends and techniques change. Experienced in many color and styling lines, I’ve continued my education by attending several classes both inside and outside the salon. I love being able to work these new techniques and ideas into my repertoire.

I’m married with children and enjoy true crime, board games, puzzles, music and other forms of art. A lover of dogs, I enjoy snuggling with my great dane, Eddie, when he’s not destroying remotes.

Rachel Kontz (she/her)

Stylist

Hi, I’m Rachel! I started doing hair in 2022 after years of being inspired by my own hairdressers and have become super passionate about it since! 

My goal is to help you find a look that best fits your lifestyle, aesthetic and hair type. I want you to feel like the best version of you!

I offer layered/moveable haircuts with lots of texture such as shags, mullets, and messy bobs for clients looking for low maintenance, wash and wear hairstyles. 

I love to accent these cuts with dimensional color and block color techniques, whether it be vivids, reds, or a sun-kissed look.

I love learning and spend much of my time attending classes in person and online. Some include Redken’s specialist and design classes, Pulp Riot creative color classes and various others.

For fun I enjoy spending time in nature, going to concerts, watching movies, thrifting, and hanging out with my daughter. 

I look forward to getting to know you!
