Freshman Jessie Tremain is a licensed on-campus hairstylist.
“I went to the Southeastern Career Center my junior and senior year of high school,” she said.
Tremain is currently providing styling services to USI students at low prices, compared to other salons.
Kylee Hemaker, freshman, received a color treatment and shampoo from Tremain.
“I would not have chosen to be a redhead but Tremain picked the color and I love my hair now,” said Hemaker.
Tremain does a really great job and helped her pick out her new hair color, she said.
“She doesn’t just care about what her hair looks like, she really cares about other people’s hair,” said Hemaker.
“I’ve been waxing people’s eyebrows, and I colored my friend’s hair. I just want to reach more students,” Tremain said. “I want to be able to get a job in college where I can make good money so I can pay off college. It is great pocket money and I can meet potential clients.”
Fashion and hair have always been important to Tremain, which is why she chose to pursue this hobby, she said.
“I like doing hair because it is the most fun and easy job I can get until I get into a chosen career,” said Tremain. “I want to open a high-end salon and be in charge of all of the stylists and products.”
Tremain, currently undecided, wants to major in business administration to gain knowledge to open a salon in Calif., she said.
“Salons here in Indiana differ from city salons because city salons have higher prices, so stylists there can make more money,” she said. “When I’m older, I want to open up a salon in my house.”
