Jessi Dean

Jessi Dean is a Chicago-based hair designer and creative whose work lives at the intersection of beauty, storytelling, and culture. Known for her ability to translate narrative into texture, shape, and movement, she approaches hair as both an art form and a language—one that communicates identity, emotion, and transformation. With a deep reverence for the history and significance of hair, particularly within Black culture, Jessi creates looks that feel both grounded and cinematic. Her work spans film, editorial, and creative direction, where each style is designed with intention, contributing to the larger story being told on screen and beyond. Her recent project, “I Love Boosters: A Love Letter to Hair,” reflects her commitment to honoring hair as a vessel of memory, expression, and connection. Through every collaboration, Jessi continues to push the boundaries of hair design while centering authenticity, artistry, and cultural depth.
