Y'all, I can't even tell you how many barbers I've been through over the years. I have 17-year-old twin boys 👬🏾 with autism. 🧩One of my boys has severe behavioral issues, one of those being elopement. (runner)🏃🏾
Upon arrival to our first appointment with Jelly.. My son immediately took off running up and down the hallway looking at all the different suites then made his way upstairs and began running up and down that hallway as well. Keep in mind there are other businesses in this building. I was so nervous thinking that someone was going to say something and immediately Jelly reassured me that everything was fine and that the people in that building know the type of clients that she has and she wasn't concerned. She showed so much patience and understanding towards my son. She didn't get upset or frazzled due to his behavior. Not only was she able to finally get my son to a place where he would sit down in the chair and actually get his haircut. But she also made sure that I was good as the parent...and I really appreciated that. Unfortunately I'm used to people telling me they won't be able to service my son or they're not equipped to handle his level of behavior.
Jelly is the real deal. You can't teach compassion. You either have it or you don't.
Thank you for the service that you provide to parents of special needs children like me and everything that you do in the community!! 💙💙👬🏾🧩

Miss Jelly has been Aries’ barber since he was just 4 years old, and I truly cannot say enough about the care, patience, and intentionality she brings to her work. From the very beginning, she recognized that Aries needed more than just a haircut—he needed understanding, flexibility, and trust.

As a neurodivergent child, haircuts were initially a very overwhelming experience for him. Miss Jelly approached every appointment with neurodiversity awareness, taking the time to learn his sensitivities, adjust her approach, and create a calm, supportive environment. She never rushed the process and always met him where he was.

Because of her consistency and compassion, I have watched Aries grow from being resistant and anxious about haircuts to now, at 8 years old, actually enjoying the experience. That transformation speaks volumes.

Miss Jelly is not just a barber—she is a true professional who leads with heart, patience, and expertise. Any family, especially those with children who need a little extra care, would be blessed to be in her chair.
