Greetings From Jocelyn

The moment I embarked on my new life here on the coast in 2006 I have felt enveloped by not only the community, yet my fellow women (and men!) in the industry.  Almost immediately I crossed paths with Amy Wall, my dear friend and constant inspiration.  I have been blessed to work along side her doing brides from all over the world on the weekends as a Bridal Specialist while building a name and clientele for myself as an Urban Stylist during the week.  All the paths I have been down since I’ve rooted here on the coast have led me to be able to launch my newest path, Mantras!

My passion for fashion started as soon as I was old enough to play with tinkerbell nail polish and lip glosses.  From there it blossomed into intrigue in everything from vintage styles to urban funk.  I have had the privilege to come from a corporate background early on in my profession.  I started out with Toni&Guy Hairdressing working my way up from an assistant to an Art Director, Educator, and Platform Artist.  My intense training has covered everything from multi-cultural styling to prestigious customer service.

My European training has focused me in the direction of specialization, meaning I only perform cutting and styling services.  I work synergistically along with Mantras’ color specialists Marianella Brey & Kali DenBeste.  They also performs many other services on our clients here ranging from cuts and color to specialty styles and make-up.  Our philosophy here at Mantras is to provide positive affirmations for the hair and spirit while setting intentions to assist in helping our clients become the best versions of themselves they can possibly be.  Careful attention to detail is taken to provide the upmost service while prescribing take-home hair care we are passionate about.  We yearn to be involved in community events and to elevate local fashion and style.  We hope to render a place where clients can feel safe and confident in their artists while allowing us to support them in their transition of their personal image.

I personally invite you to come relax and enjoy!  ~ Jocelyn DeChenne
