About Us

Jenn began her career as a stylist in 2004. The art of hair design and love for making people feel more beautiful and confident runs through her veins as she is the granddaughter of not one, but two hairstylists! She has always heavily pursued continuing education and has completed advanced courses all over the world from Washington DC, to Dallas, to New York City and even Berlin, Germany. One of her favorites is the Sassoon Academy in Chicago having completed 3 courses there and counting! Jenn & her husband Chris opened Salon Yeager in January 2015 and have found the most joy (besides raising 3 boys) in helping those that join the Salon Yeager family grow their careers and live the life of their dreams. In addition to working behind the chair as a stylist, Jenn has developed an in-house education program to help advance the skills of all of her fellow stylists. She also keeps up with the salon’s social media and marketing and does career coaching with her team members. As an Artist with her preferred brand, L’Oreal Professionnel, she is excited to help elevate the industry as she teaches all over the nation. However, her most favorite team to teach is her very own home team at Salon Yeager!

Chris Yeager was born and raised in Salt Lake City. After marrying Jenn, he moved across the country to TN where he graduated from UT with a degree in Psychology. He attended a course in 2009 on salon ownership at the Summit Salon Academy in Tampa, and continued to study the field extensively. In 2011 he joined the salon industry as a manager and career coach.
