Our Story
a DECADE of DEFINING STYLE and LEGACY
In an industry driven by trends, The Mane began in 2016 with an unwavering commitment to technical excellence. What started as a six station in Thornton has evolved into a destination for those who understand that great hair transcends the final look—it's about the integrity of the craft itself. From our carefully curated product selection to our intensive education program, we've built our reputation on creating enduring, wearable art that enhances our clients' natural features and lifestyle. Our team of stylists, each hand-selected and mentored in our exacting standards, shares our founding vision: that true luxury lies not in rushing to follow trends, but in taking the time to do things right.
FOUNDERS
A SIGNATURE LOOK with Jillian & Megan
Hair isn’t just a job for Jillian; it’s a craft she has spent the last 16 years perfecting. With over a decade and a half of experience behind the chair, she has mastered the art of effortless, high-impact hair. Jillian specializes in creating dimensional, lived-in blondes that grow out seamlessly and rich, velvety brunettes that radiate depth and shine. Her signature style is all about enhancing your natural beauty with modern, customized color that looks just as stunning weeks after your appointment as it does the day you leave her chair.
Beyond the Salon
When she isn’t formulation-focused or transforming your look, Jillian keeps her energy grounded and her creativity flowing through her favorite everyday rituals. She’s a firm believer in balance—whether she's breaking a sweat working out, getting her hands dirty in her garden, or slowing down to enjoy the life she’s built.
At the center of it all is her family. Jillian’s happiest moments are spent soaking up quality time with her husband, her daughter, and their two beloved dogs.
"I believe great hair should feel effortless. My goal is always to create a look that feels completely, uniquely you—with the dimension and depth to make it stand out."
