Rising Stars: Meet Jordan Roberts

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jordan Roberts.

Hi Jordan, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
In high school, I started to get into all things beauty. Deep down I wanted to go to cosmetology school right when I graduated but I knew my whole family wanted me to go to college. I spend 3 and a half years studying everything from criminal justice to biology. I never was happy and couldn’t find my passion.

Covid hit and it took a toll on my mental health and I decided I needed a change. At that time I got an opportunity to manage a doggy daycare and did that for a few months. It was not working out how I wanted it to and I thought I already dropped out of college so I might as well pursue my dream in cosmetology.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
No, it hasn’t been, there have been people who want me to fail and have tried to bring me down but that hasn’t stopped me because I know this is what I was meant to do with my life.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a hairstylist that specializes in blonding, color, and hand-tied extensions. I am proudest of how far I have come from when I first started out.

Things are coming more naturally to me and I can see that I am making a difference in my client’s life by giving them confidence. What sets me apart from others is how I care for the integrity of my client’s hair while keeping their end goal in mind.

Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
What I love about my city is the opportunity it has to grow. I was born and raised in Overland Park and I have seen it change over time it is always continuing to develop which means more learning and career opportunities.

Honestly can’t find something I don’t like about our city besides that it is landlocked and not by the ocean.
