Jeska Newman
I’m a Seattle hairstylist and salon founder specializing in dimensional blondes and low-tox, organic color.
At my salon Vervain you will find a calm, plant-filled space for a wellness-focused hair experience that leaves you feeling restored and elevated. It is a slow-beauty approach designed to help you and your hair truly thrive.
About Me
I’m someone who loves creating—whether that’s hair, a space, or a whole new direction in life. I’m equal parts practical and intuitive, and once something clicks, I trust my gut and go for it. I like things that feel real, not overdone, and I’m always building a life that has more freedom, more intention, and a little room for adventure.
There’s a good chance I’m thinking about plants, travel, or my next project at any given time.
Behind the Chair
My creative mindset is exactly how I show up behind the chair.
I’m paying attention, asking questions, and reading between the lines to figure out what will actually work for you everyday—not just what looks good in the moment. My work is thoughtful but not overcomplicated, collaborative but still guided, and always rooted in creating something that feels natural, wearable, and a little bit like you on your best day.
I created Vervain to support a different kind of salon experience — one that values creativity, wellness, and a more sustainable way of working behind the chair. After years in the industry, I wanted to build a space that felt better for both clients and stylists. That meant being more intentional about the products we use, the environment we create, and the pace we work at. We are a low-tox salon rooted in thoughtful choices, high-performing color, and a culture that prioritizes both artistry and well-being.
Vervain is located in the heart of the Greenwood neighborhood in Seattle. It’s a space where you can expect beautiful results without the chaos, pressure, or unnecessary exposure that often comes with traditional salon environments.
All of my appointments take place at Vervain.
