McKenna Bullard
Meet McKenna, our resident Snip Slayer and rising talent at Hues. As an apprentice, she’s passionate about mastering her craft and nothing makes her happier than a clean, precision cut that transforms the whole look with just a few snips. Her top product obsessions? Finipil (a must-have for cuts, burns, and even skincare), Cotz sunscreen (perfect under makeup), and Theraderm Lip Hydrator for that silky-smooth finish.
When she’s not behind the chair, you’ll likely find her rewatching Shameless for the nth time or cooking up something delicious in the kitchen. McKenna may be quiet when she’s in the zone, but she’s always ready to listen and connect, especially if you love talking about food, good shows, or great hair.
Jhalen Caffey
Meet Jhalen, if you've ever felt like finding a stylist who truly understands your texture is harder than it should be, meet Jhalen.
Jhalen joins Hues with a genuine love for healthy hair, thoughtful transformations, and helping clients understand how to work with the hair they naturally have. Her experience spans curly and textured hair, precision cutting, color, silk presses, protective styling and scalp-focused care—with an approach that puts the health and integrity of the hair first.
And we're not the only ones who noticed her talent. Jhalen was named a 2025 Nappie Awards Finalist for Best New Hair Stylist and has also been featured in a Simply Organic Beauty Stylist Spotlight.
What we love most about Jhalen, though, isn't an award or a specialty. It's the way she thinks.
She's curious. She's intentional. She listens before she starts doing. And she genuinely enjoys helping someone understand their own hair instead of making great hair feel like something that can only happen while you're sitting in a salon chair.
Her background outside of the beauty industry also includes marketing, business and content creation—which may explain why she's particularly good at seeing the whole picture: who you are, what you're asking for, what actually works for your lifestyle, and how your hair fits into all of it.
Whether you've spent years searching for someone who understands curls and texture, you're ready to embrace your natural hair, or you simply want a stylist who will really listen before creating a plan, we think you're going to love having Jhalen at Hues.
