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.

Through her training at Art+Craft Salon, she has developed a strong expertise in handling all hair types. With considerable experience in hair cutting, coloring, styling, and keratin treatments, Leidy is confident in her abilities and knowledge. One of the key reasons she was drawn to work at this salon was Jen's commitment to ongoing education, the sense of being valued, and the collaborative team environment.
