Jennifer’s love for hair started early — growing up in her mother’s salon, she watched firsthand how the beauty industry creates lifelong relationships, and she knew she wanted to be a part of that. She began her career in 2007 after graduating from Leon’s Beauty School, then spent over two years assisting a stage artist for Big Sexy Hair, where she built a strong foundation in color techniques and creative cutting.
She is passionate about staying current through continuing education and brings that knowledge into every appointment. One of Jennifer’s greatest strengths is that she truly listens — she wants every client to feel heard and to take an active role in their styling decisions. Her goal is simple: for every person who sits in her chair to walk out feeling more confident than when they walked in.
She takes pride in making every hair experience feel relaxed, personal, and memorable.
Jennifer DePaulis is the founder of Lusso Hair Studio & Spa and a master colorist with over two decades of experience. She has built her reputation on a refined eye, thoughtful consultations, and color and extension work that feels effortless and completely tailored to each guest. With over seven years as an extension specialist, she creates custom extension services designed to enhance natural hair while keeping movement, softness, and longevity intact.
A true believer in continual growth, Jennifer has trained with top industry names including Goldwell, Redken, Wella, Davines, Schwarzkopf, Joico, and Hanzo — and brings that same standard of advanced education to her entire team.
Beyond the salon, Jennifer is co-owner of Elevated Catering Company alongside her husband, Chef Brian DePaulis, where they bring that same love of hospitality to weddings and special events. When she’s not behind the chair, she’s traveling, making memories with her three kids, and spending time with her family and their two mini goldendoodles.
Her vision for Lusso has always been simple — a beautiful, welcoming space where exceptional service, artistry, and genuine connection all come together.
