Meet Jena
I started sweeping floors and assisting in salons from 13 years old. Qualified at 17, then opened my own home salon at the end of 2009. With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in Colour & Blonding, Straight Up Smoothing Treatments, and precision Cuts & Styling for clients across the Sutherland Shire.
I believe beautiful hair starts with listening. Whether you're looking for a subtle refresh or a complete transformation, I'll take the time to understand your hair goals, lifestyle, and concerns, then create a plan that actually works for you. No gimmicks, no upsells, just real results you can feel good about.
Credentials & Certifications
"My favorite part of this job? Seeing clients leave the salon feeling confident and beautiful. That's what it's all about."
How I work
I've had clients come in wanting a $400 full colour when a $95 toner would've done the job. I told them. That's the kind of salon I run.
I won't upsell you. I won't recommend a treatment your hair doesn't need. If I think you should wait another month before your next appointment, I'll say so.
You'll get honest advice, transparent pricing, and a plan that actually makes sense for your hair, your budget, and your life.
Our Work
Real results from real clients. No filters, no stock photos.
Why I Pick My Own Products
After years of trying every brand on the market, I got tired of recommending products that didn't live up to their promises. So I partnered with brands I actually trust, like Juuce, QIQI, Pure and Wet Brush, to build a product range that delivers real results.
Every product in our collection is salon-tested and client-approved. I use these same formulas in my own hair and in the salon every day. If it doesn't pass my standards, it doesn't make the cut.

Proud to Call Bangor Home
Hair Pinns is more than a salon. It's part of the Bangor community. We're proud to serve clients from across the Sutherland Shire, from Menai to Woronora, Engadine to Illawong. Many of our clients have been with us since day one, and we've built relationships that go beyond just hair appointments.
Located just off Menai Road with free parking out front, we're easy to find and accessible for the whole Shire. Whether you're a local or visiting from nearby suburbs, you'll always feel welcome here.
What I specialise in
Colour correction. If you've had a box dye disaster or your blonde has gone brassy, this is what I do best. I won't rush it. Sometimes it takes two or three sessions to get right, and I'll be upfront about that from the start.
Smoothing treatments. Sydney's humidity is relentless. I use QIQI Vega and Juuce formulas that actually hold up in our climate. Most clients get 3 to 5 months between treatments.
Cuts that work with your hair. I don't do one-size-fits-all. If you've got curls, I cut for curls. If your hair is fine, I cut for volume. The goal is hair you can manage yourself between visits.
What Clients Say
"I went to Jena after a box dye went wrong. She didn't try to fix it all in one go. Took three sessions, was upfront about the cost, and now my blonde actually looks like I wanted it to. Won't go anywhere else."
— Sarah M.
"Been going to Jena for three years. She told me not to get a smoothing treatment once because my hair wasn't damaged enough to need one. That's when I knew she was genuine."
— Emma L.
"Finally found someone who knows how to cut curly hair without straightening it first. Jena cuts it dry, knows how curls sit, and the shape actually holds between washes. Game changer."
— Michelle T.
