MEET THE S+S TEAM

With over 20 years behind the chair, Jess Deppe has built a career rooted in transformation, artistry, and connection. As the founder of Sage + Strands Extension Studio, Jess blends technical expertise with soulful intention to create a hair experience that goes beyond just beautiful results — it’s about confidence, healing, and feeling seen.

Jess is a certified Elite Artist with Invisible Bead Extensions® and holds advanced certifications in V-Lite and K-Tip methods. Her specialty lies in seamlessly blending extensions with custom color, designing lived-in, effortless looks that grow out beautifully and require minimal maintenance. With a deep love for scalp health and a passion for luxury, damage-free hair care, she treats every guest like a true work of art — crafted with precision, purpose, and personal connection.

Sage + Strands was born out of a desire to offer more than just a service — it’s a space where your outer beauty meets inner alignment. A place where you can exhale, let go, and step into the version of yourself you’ve been dreaming about.

When she’s not behind the chair, you’ll find Jess soaking up time with her family, traveling, obsessing over clean beauty, or nerding out over extension science and scalp wellness. Her goal is simple: to help every client leave feeling lighter, empowered, and like the best version of themselves — one strand at a time.
