Jessi Schafer

My journey with hair began after doing a semester at ASU. I was completely miserable. My mother saw that my artistic free-spirited side was not being nurtured in that environment. So, she made an appointment for me to tour Carsten Institute, which was an Aveda salon. It is a very well known European style of learning and owned by the very well know German stylist Carsten. I was not sure what to expect when I went there, but the second I walked in and smelled all the herbal natural products I knew this was where I needed to be. I was so inspired by watching these students and knew that I belonged.

After I finished school at Carsten’s, I worked as an assistant at a beautiful salon in chandler and studied Redken color. I learned many types of extension techniques and found that I had a passion for bridal hair and styling. After a super busy day in the salon, they threw me to the wolves and had me take clients after only being an assistant for three months. They saw the potential I had and put me on the floor a week later. That moment really gave me the confidence I needed and I continued to take classes to further my education.

After about 5 years of working for other people, I decided it was time I started something on my own. I went on to rent a studio and also start a bridal hair and makeup duo that was nominated for the best hair and makeup team in the valley for 8 years in a row. For the last 11 years, I continued working in my salon and doing bridal hair, but was losing the passion for working alone in a studio.

After having my kids, the wedding business was no longer something I could keep up with. I began to dream of something different. Then along came Karla. An incredible hair stylist with more passion and talent in her little finger than most stylists I had ever met. We began to dream of a place of our own where we could make a creative space with natural healthy products. Our vision was a salon where we could not only work but educate our clients on proper hair maintenance, inspire each other as stylists, and create a space that people can’t wait to come to and feel better when they leave than when they came through the door.

I truly believe this salon is the best environment I’ve ever worked in and I am so great all to have co-created something so magical.

Jordynn Lucero –

Aesthetician, Laser Tech, MUA and Tattoo Artist

I am so happy you are here! I want to tell you a little about myself so you can get to know me. I am happily married, going on 14 years now to my awesome husband Anthony, him and I have been together since we were 17 years old. We have 2 kids together, Kade who is 13 and Rylee who is 10. Kade is active in sports so I spend a lot of time with him at his events, Rylee is my little creative monster, we do crafts together and bake. My kids are both pretty cool, I think ill keep them…:P I am an Arizona native, born and raised in the beautiful Page Arizona aka Lake Powell. I lived there until I was 19 then moved south with my little family for Anthony’s job. I then went to Aesthetics and Laser school then started working. I have been and Aesthetician for over 8 years now and I absolutely LOVE what I do, it is genuinely my passion, anyone who knows me or has been treated by me I’m sure can attest to this. Over the course of my career I have grown and incorporated all kinds of different services to my arsenal. One major addition is my passion for tattoos! Not only do I love having them, I love giving them. It’s the best creative outlet I have ever found for myself and it truly makes me happy. The combination from both Aesthetics and tattoos is where I believe my calling is. I mean we can all have amazing skin and tattoos right? I was certified in fine line tattoos and mentored by my personal tattoo artist which has been the biggest blessing. I don’t believe skincare clinics or medspas have to be one size fits all, diversity is what our country is founded on so I’ve decided so is The Refined Rebel. I want everyone to feel safe and comfortable in my studio, I want a place for us to hangout, anti-age and have fun! Weather it’s skincare treatments or Tattoos, I am here to take care of YOU! It’s what I love and what I do. Remember there is a Refined Rebel in all of us, let me bring it out of you!
