Check out what makes us unique.
Artistic Director/ Stylist
Jennifer Murphy-Connolly has wanted to be a hairdresser since she was 7 years old. She went to hairdressing school right out of high school and has been creating amazing styles ever since. Her passion led her to become a Senior National Educator for John Paul Mitchell Systems in 2005 where she has shared her knowledge on stage to hundreds of others as well as to small local salons in the New England area. Sharing this artistry made her want to build a team of her own to see grow into amazing stylists. Jen also knew from being a stylist for over 20 years, she was unique in wanting to listen to her clients and helping them maintain their colors and styles through sharing the "how-to's" and product knowledge so they walk around like they just stepped out of the salon. This belief lead her to establish Art+Craft Salon in 2010. As a Master Colorist and Haircutter, Jen trains the Art+Craft Team. Her passion is creating dimensional hair color with a customized haircut to enhance the look. Jen is a wife and a mother of two growing boys. She loves watching them play hockey. In her downtime she enjoys traveling with her family to Disney World and to hair shows with her best friend. Jen's work can be found on the salon's social media. |
Master Stylist
Sophia Pierce has always loved being creative and unique with makeup and originally was interested in being a makeup artist. However, after attending hair school at Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical School, she fell in love with hair and found her passion there instead. She secured her Massachusetts Cosmetology license while being a part of the Art + Craft team and is a full time stylist. She loves creating bright and dimensional blondes, vivid and bright rainbow colors, as well as undercuts and side shaves. She is an enthusiast of anything color and loves the creativity that being a hairdresser entails. Her caring personality and wild sense of humor are assets to our salon. When not at the salon, Sophia has a strong passion for music, art and animals. She has her own at home zoo with diverse mixes of all sorts of reptiles and amphibians as well as mammals. |
Senior Stylist
Rebekah Gable joined our team in 2021 and holds a Cosmetology license from Tri-County Regional High School, where she focused on Cosmetology. In a color class led by Jen, the Artistic Director and Owner of Art+Craft Salon, Rebekah's enthusiasm for styling was sparked. Recognizing the salon as the perfect fit, she became a Senior Stylist in January 2024. Specializing in blonding, formal hair, coloring, and hair cutting, Rebekah is dedicated to honing her skills and excelling in her craft behind the chair.
Beyond her work, Rebekah finds joy in reading, savoring the outdoors, playing with her three beloved puppies, and cherishing moments with her family. Her commitment to continuous learning and her love for her craft shine through in all aspects of her life. |
