Hi, I’m Ms. Jay, and I’m honored to be the Director of the
Polished & Paid Summer Youth Program!
I’ve been a
licensed manicurist for 11 years, a nail instructor for 5 years , and have recently stepped into a new passion — mentoring and working with youth
.
I’ve proudly owned
JPT Beauty Bar for 7 years, and I’m currently preparing to open my own Cosmetology School in Fall 2025
. My heart is in teaching young girls what I wish someone had taught me at their age — how to care for themselves, build confidence, and tap into their potential.
This camp is not just about beauty and business — it’s about building young women who are polished, paid, and powerful.
As your guide, mentor, and support system this summer, I’m here to nurture your growth, creativity, and self-worth.
Let’s build something amazing together! 💅🏽✨
