Alison Jody

After studying Public Relations at Temple University, she worked in non-profit communications for nine years. Although Alison enjoyed her communications career, she would often spend time observing her stylist sister in her salon, and after seeing the joy her sister brought her clients (and vice-versa), Alison was inspired to take the leap into cosmetology. Alison wanted the best training possible so she chose the Jean Madeline Aveda Institute. She went on to do advanced training in the Jean Madeline Mentor Program, including Fekkai cut and styling techniques, before becoming a full-time stylist at Adolf Biecker. Alison has received advanced training in men's cutting with Kurt Keuffner MENSDEPT; style and updo training with Jon Reyman; and Aveda texture styling training created by Tippi Shorter. Alison feels it is of the upmost importance to educate her clients on excellent, as well as easy, home care. Her favorite service to perform is the wavy blow-dry, which she loves for its softness and body. In her spare time, Alison creates invitations through her freelance graphic design business. "It's great to have multiple outlets for creativity," she says. Alison recently joined the team at The Rittenhouse Spa & Club - Hair by Paul Labreque. She is excited to continue her ongoing training to include advanced color techniques.
