Grand Salon Hair Studio is the passion project of two sisters, Jen and Jenelle—third-generation entrepreneurs with deep roots in the Capital Region. As proud descendants of Italian immigrants and lifelong small business owners, the sisters carry forward a legacy of hard work, community, and care.

Their family still runs a beloved grocery store just outside of Schenectady, and now, they’re putting their own spin on service—with scissors, color brushes, and a whole lot of style.


Rooted in tradition. Fueled by passion. Designed to make you feel like family.


About Grand Salon 

In 2020, amid a world full of uncertainty, the sisters saw an opportunity—and took it. They launched Grand Salon Hair Studio inside a premier hotel and event venue, and despite the challenges of opening during a pandemic, they built something lasting. Thanks to the support of loyal clients and their shared drive, the salon is thriving—and now growing into a larger, downtown Schenectady space they’ll own and operate.



Jen brings nearly 20 years of experience behind the chair, specializing in color, precision cuts, and all types of extensions. Her talent is only matched by her love for making people feel beautiful and confident. Jenelle’s journey took a different path—starting in biology and public service with the Federal Government. But when she returned to New York, she discovered a new passion for makeup artistry and helping clients look and feel their best.


Grand Salon Hair Studio offers a wide range of beauty services: cuts for women, men, and kids; bridal hair and makeup; custom color; luxurious conditioning treatments; extensions; waxing; and more. They’ve created a space that feels like home—elevated, chic, and comfortable—without the inflated price tag.

Whether you’re preparing for your big day, wanting to tame frizz or bring life back to tired hair, or just need a go-to spot for your regular cut and color, Grand Salon is your spot. The team works with each client to create personalized, long-lasting results—never cutting corners and always keeping your hair’s health top of mind.
