Meet The Team
Owners
Jennifer and David Groover
Jennifer and David recently bought Mane Crush Salon. We have two beautiful sons, and love our family time, when we take a moment from our day to day "work" life.
​
We are SO excited for the future of the salon. We have 15 AMAZING hairstylists/nail technicians, and believe the options are endless! We are so proud of our team and know there is a service provider to fit any and every clients needs. We are team/family driven, putting our clients needs number one priority. Each stylist is independent and you can book directly through them. We love Chattanooga and the wide variety of clients we get to meet on a daily basis, due to its quick growing community from here or there.
Owner and Hair Stylist
Jennifer Groover
Jennifer is a professional hair stylist and colorist. She began her beauty industry passion at a very early age. She learned how to braid hair on her Raggedy Ann doll in elementary school and loved braiding her friend’s hair. Her first job was at a small hair salon in Woodstock, Georgia as a receptionist when she was 16 years old. She loved seeing how passionate the stylists were at all ages and experience. In 2005, Jennifer graduated cosmetology school and focused on education and growth. She moved to Chattanooga in 2010, and continued her passion., working at a top Chattanooga salon for 7 years.
​
Jennifer found her "forever home" at Mane Crush Salon in 2017. Felt inspired the day she walked in and was introduced to the most amazing owner and coworkers ever. In 2022, Sharon Kilgore(owner), was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and fought the hardest fight imaginable. Sharon created her dream, and it felt impossible to not continue her legacy and keep what she had created, such a hard-working family together.
Jennifer is as passionate today as she was in 2005. She has continued to grow as a stylist, form personal relationships with guests, and enjoys showing them how beautiful they are inside and out. Jennifer is so proud to work with such a talented group of stylists and cannot imagine doing anything else in life.
