Jill Engelsen
Jill is currently an Independent Senior Stylist at hawthorne in NYC. She has twelve+ years of behind-the-chair experience with nine of those years in NYC (3 years at Ted Gibson Salon, 6 at Butterfly Studio by Kattia Solano and currently at HAWTHORNE Studio by Garrett Bryant) and the previous four years at Bella Salon & Spa back home in Minneapolis. During that time she had been approached to become an educator for L’Oreal Professionnel based on her passion for elevating the industry by her belief that sharing leads to success.
During her 7 years as an artist for LP she has flown across the country sharing her knowledge with top salons, taught at our NYC and Newport Beach Academies, and has been a platform artist at Intercoiffure in Boca Raton, FL.
Jill’s talent is in her bloodline having a mother who was an extremely accomplished hairstylist, salon owner, competitor, competition judge and the Styles Director of the NCA of MN circa 1960-1996. Jill’s first platform experience was at the age of 5 when her mother prepped her to do an up-do on stage in a competition in front of 500 people with herself wearing a killer beehive of her own. That was her ‘normal’ childhood.
Since moving to NYC she has be involved in numerous fashion weeks working with designers Lela Rose, Carmen Marc Valvo, Rachel Roy, Pamela Rolland, Rachel Zoe, Rodarte and Kelly Faetanini for bridal fashion week. On top of that she has been a regular behind the scenes doing makeover after makeover on the Rachel Ray Show representing Ted Gibson.
