Jennifer Stanley Hash's Studio 113

UPDATE: I’m alive 🙌 If you’ve reached out and haven’t heard back- or if I said I’d follow up and didn’t- this is why…

✨Wednesday afternoon I started having stomach pain, and by the end of the day I wasn’t sure I could drive home. Overnight things got worse- up every 15 minutes, sick as can be. I thought it was a stomach bug… until the pain Thursday afternoon sent me to the ER. A CT scan showed appendicitis.

✨I spent the night in the hospital and had emergency surgery Friday morning. By then my appendix had ruptured, so surgery was more complicated and recovery will take longer.

✨I came home Saturday evening and am camped in my recliner- my best friend right now since I can’t get up without it or my husband’s help. Between the anesthesia haze and pain meds, I don’t trust myself to text or reschedule yet. If you’ve texted, I’ve seen the notification but haven’t opened it so I don’t lose track.

✨I’ll be out of the salon at least a week, probably two. I can’t bend or lift yet, but pain is under control and I’m slowly regaining strength. Today I’m finally cleared to shower (last one was Wednesday 😅 but at least fresh hair made for ok hospital pics 😆). Goals: shower, manage pain, and short walks to prevent blood clots. Appetite is slowly returning.

✨If you have an appointment in the next couple weeks- or yours was one I had to move- I’ll start reaching out once I’m more clear-headed, hopefully by Tuesday. You can also reschedule yourself anytime at www.vagaro.com/jenniferhash and I’ll likely add extra days as I ease back in.

✨Thank you to everyone who’s reached out- your kind words mean so much. The UVA Haymarket staff took wonderful care of me (and honestly, hospital food wasn’t bad once I could eat more than broth!).

❤️ Jenn

💙 I brought the Kleenex back- because let’s be honest, things are heavy right now. So many people are facing job loss and uncertainty, and the world just feels off balance.

My suite is meant to be a safe haven. This is your time to decompress, to be fully yourself. You’re not a mom, a co-worker, a partner, or a caretaker in this space- you’re just you.

It might seem like “just a haircut,” but it’s so much more. Taking care of yourself- especially during difficult times- isn’t shallow; it’s essential. I want you to have a moment where you look in the mirror and feel okay, even if just for a second.

Helping you feel good helps me, too. Supporting your confidence gives me purpose and lifts my own spirit. We’re in this together 💞

📣📣 Let’s talk about my New Guest Curl Discovery Haircut- this isn’t your “normal” haircut.

It starts with an in-depth conversation about the products you’re using and the methods you’re following. It’s also a hands-on styling lesson. You know all those curly techniques you’ve seen on social media? I help you understand them- and explain why they may or may not work for your curl type.

I schedule 2 hours for our first appointment, so there’s plenty of time for questions and learning. 🥰

A dry curly haircut is different from a traditional wet cut with layers. When I cut your curls dry, I can see how they naturally live and lay- and I cut them where they live. That’s the difference. It’s not just layers- it’s curl-by-curl, customized for you.

I don’t cut any straight lines into your hair, so it grows out in a more natural, flattering shape. You won’t need to cut it as often to maintain it- every 3 months or so is great, but I have many curly clients who only come twice a year. 💫

🌸 I’m all about teaching you how to love your curls and how to care for them in an uncomplicated way. If you’re confused by all the curly hair info you’ve found online, let me help you make sense of it all 💞

Hi Friends ❤️

Life has been a bit heavy lately.
Between caregiving for a loved one with dementia, family emergencies, illnesses, a car accident, and the heartbreaking loss of my sweet dog Lucy, I needed some time to step back and process.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support—it truly means the world.

We did manage to sneak away for a quick beach trip to celebrate our 10-year anniversary, which brought some much-needed peace. If you know me, you know the beach is my happy place. Saltwater heals—whether from the ocean or tears. This time, it was both. 🌊💔💙

I’m now back in the studio, easing into the groove and looking forward to seeing your beautiful faces again. If I missed a message from you, feel free to send a little nudge—I’m here and ready to create curl magic with you 💖

You need this 😉 Do you have curls & waves waiting to be discovered? Confused by all the curly hair info you’ve found online?

Embracing your natural curls is a journey of self-love and care 🫶

My custom curly cut made her 100% natural curls so much more defined and bouncy! This service includes a detox shampoo, curl restoration treatment, and a hands on styling lesson ✨

My salon has always been, and will always be, a place for everyone: LGBTQ+, people of color, all cultures, all religions, and anyone navigating mental health challenges or disabilities 💙
