Jewell Montana
@jewell_jemtones
Jewell is a Master Artist from Portland, OR who recently made the venture to sunny California to pursue her career in hair. She has been behind the chair for 8 years. When you sit down in Jewell’s chair, you can expect kindness and a burning desire to deliver the goals you have envisioned for your hair. Vivid colors are a strong favorite and a specialty. She also enjoys creating bright blondes and soft dimensional colors.
When she’s not in the salon, you likely can catch her at a hockey game or cruising around at Disney.
Dennis Woods
@hairbydennis
Dennis is our newest junior stylist at Rebel Femme. Since he was a little boy, he’s always wanted to do hair and would give his mom fabulous blowouts starting at the age of 10. He strives to create a safe and judgment free space for every client that sits in his chair. He loves EVERYTHING color, specifically blonding, lived-in and vivid/fashion colors. Outside of the salon, he’ll probably be at a drag show or listening to live music somewhere.
