Jenny McEdward
Senior Stylist

Jenny started her cosmetology career in 2009. She grew up in southern New Hampshire and followed her sisters to Maine after graduating from Arizona State University as a Parks and Recreation Management major. After walking into Akari for a haircut, Jenny decided to participate in our apprenticeship program. The wealth of knowledge from her training here to her education completed with Bumble & Bumble, Jane Iredale, and her years of experience have made her chair one of the most coveted at Akari. Jenny loves listening and interpreting what a client desires. Whether specific to their hair, lifestyle, a significant life change, or an event, she loves creating a wearable accessory that makes them their preferred version of themselves. Jenny is a mother of two; she spends her time working on her vegetable and perennial garden and is a certified personal trainer and nutritional coach.
