I, Jessica Newton, am the proud Owner and a Senior Hairstylist of Shear Desire Hair Salon. I have worked in the beauty industry for 15 years and after working alongside experienced professionals was able to open my salon. My passion for hair and beauty has brought me much success in the industry. I specialize in blonding, and balayage and take great pride in my ability to achieve the perfect color every time. I am great at advising on what would look best for every client. I strive for each guest to enjoy the time spent in my chair and/or in my salon. I look forward to meeting you!

Mary Wilkins
Junior Stylist
Hi, I'm Mary! I graduated from Paul Mitchell this past January, and since then, I've been expanding my knowledge and passion in the hair industry. I genuinely love what I do--and I love everyone who sits in my chair. I grew up here in Oxford, and this community means everything to me. When I'm not doing hair, you'll usually find me staying active, enjoying the outdoors, or spending time with animals. I can't wait to help you feel beautiful, confident, and completely YOU.
