Maya Okonkwo — owner, senior stylist
Best for: colour correction, blondes, extensions.
Seventeen years behind the chair, eleven of them in Minneapolis
before opening Juniper in 2019. Maya takes the hard colour work —
the box-dye rescues and the four-visit transformations — and she is
the reason this studio says no to things more often than most.
Books out: about four weeks. Rate: roughly 20% above listed prices.
Devon Reyes — stylist, curly specialist
Best for: curly and textured hair, short cuts, fringe.
Curly-certified in 2021 and the person half our clients come here
for. Devon cuts dry, curl by curl, and sends everyone home with a
written routine that uses products you can buy at a drugstore.
Books out: three to four weeks. Rate: listed prices.
Priya Raman — stylist
Best for: balayage, lived-in colour, long layers.
Trained in Chicago, here since 2022. Priya does the soft,
grown-out-looking colour that people bring photos of, and she is
unusually good at making fine hair look like there is more of it.
Books out: two to three weeks. Rate: listed prices.
Tess Lindqvist — junior stylist
Best for: cuts, blowouts, single-process colour, treatments.
Finished her apprenticeship here in 2025 and is building her book.
Every service Tess does is checked by Maya before you leave the
chair, and her prices run about 20% below the listed rate while she
fills her column.
Books out: often same week. Rate: roughly 20% below listed prices.
