Jen Vucelik

Hello to all! My name is Jen, and I'm currently attending Elite Academy of Hair Design for the cosmetology program. Although I'm newer to the field, it feels like I have been preparing for this career my whole life. Not only did I grow up with three sisters who loved to do hair and makeup, but as we got older, we all loved art and expressing our creativity. My older sister, (owner of the Hairport, WV) has opened her own salon in the past years and accomplished so much. Seeing the impact she has made on so many people has been a very influential guide in my journey to choosing this path for myself. Growing up I was a bit unconventional and never thought I would be happy working a traditional 9-5. Discovering the world of beauty as I aged has shown me that there is something out there for me, a job that is lucrative with my passions and strive to make others feel seen, where my creativity and eccentricity would be supported and encouraged instead of repressed.
