years of professional experience, she has styled for the likes of

Bon Jovi, and Jaden Smith. Her secret to success being trained
by greats in the industry, including her mother, celebrity
hairstylist Tonya Cryer, along with Emmy-Award Winning stylist Hugo
Coach.
As
a teenager, Jazmayne spent weekends washing hair in her mother’s
salon to make extra money. Initially, she did not envision a career
in styling until she began braiding hair in high school and started a
huge phenomenon of young girls rocking the original Alicia Keys look
in 2001. After winning multiple hair show competitions while
attending college, she discovered her love of creativity and
transformation that ultimately change the course of her career
endeavors.
Jazmayne
quickly emerged as a key hairstylist in Los Angeles while embracing
traditional hair care with innovative styling techniques; from
weaving to coloring to outrageous avant garde creations all combing
her love for high-end fashion in her hair creations. Jazmayne
explains “I love expressing myself through hair, there are no
boundaries.” Her creativity has led her to working on the set of

Take
Six Q1. Ms. Jazz extraordinary
all things Fabulous, please share with our readers what you define as
Fabulous?
A.
Fabulous to me is being
comfortable in your own skin. Having pretty pink and sparkly things
are fun, but my definition of women with true confidence exudes
Fabulosity.
Take
Six Q2. A huge part of Glam
Squad is the many faces you offer clients. Glam Squad equally altar
ego and sister brand Princess Crownz which takes your clients from a
five to a ten with three basic tools: scissors, styling comb, and a
splash of color if their feeling extravagant. Share six altar ego
styles and the transformation they each represent in one word?
A.
All of my Hair Pieces are named
after Celebrities and one after my Grandmother.
(1) Kate Frances is
a short black European pageboy cut = CLASSY ; (2) Kelly Rowland is a
Voluminous Kinky Curly Fro = SEXY ; (3) T-Boz inspired Razor Sharp
Short Cut = EDGY ; (4) Azelia Banks = Teal, Blue & Green 28'

shades of purple = FUN and (6) Beyonce = DIVA
Take
Six Q3. I'm extremely proud to
see how you have maintain your professionalism and sense of style
while expanding your brand even when work exceeds twelve hours on
your feet often times no break in between. How do you manage staying
passionate about the industry?
A.
Thank You. As a young
professional that is my favorite compliment. To keep an interest in
hair styling, I take breaks away from it. Stepping away from the
styling chair allows you to see all of the different trends and
styles that are out there. Your clients want you to be innovative so
its important for me to take the time to branch out while keeping a
fresh perspective.
Take
Six Q4. This is a question I'm
sure our readers want to know. If a client brought you a photo of a
style she was wanting and you knew it didn't work for her. Do you
practice the customer is always right or do you keep it real and why?
A.
When that happens, I
always ask them to consider their occupation and lifestyle. Will
their hair texture or up keep skills work with that look? There are a
thousand questions that can be asked to ensure you meet the clients
wants and needs. I'm definitely always honest with my clients.
Take
Six Q5. The apple doesn't fall
too far from the tree. That main tree is your Mom my client Ms.
Tonya's of Hollywood who is currently working on the ABC hit show
Scandal. Many individuals inside/outside the entertainment industry
say and think “It's who you know, that makes things happen.”
However, it takes more than that. You have acquired your celebrity
styling status by creating your brand on your own terms. Please share
a few words of wisdom and encouragement to stylists who desire to be
where you are now and the main points they should focused on.
A.
“Originality”. There are an
enormous of professionals educated in this field. You “Must Stand
Out” and show what makes you unique. “Perception” People should
know you're a stylist at first glance. “Focus”on what YOU do
well. I'm an extension/color specialist, I experiment and enhance my
craft with furthering my education as often as possible. Don't
minimize your craft by not continuing to educate yourself or others.
Never get so big in the head to learn more; from anyone, all artist
have something to share.
Take
Six Q6. Ms. Jazz and the Glam
Squad team not only making a name for themselves in lalaland, but
globally as well. Fresh back from one of Atlanta's hot events
“Bronner Bros International Hair Show” Share what we can expect
from Jazz, Glam Squad, and Princess Crownz today, tomorrow, and the
near future?
A.
Its time for Jazmayne
Chatman's brand to grow. I have all of this creativity and I need the
right avenues to channel it. Princess Crownz is my new baby that is
growing faster than I imagined. There is a huge market of women and
children that wear prosthetic hair and I want to help them embrace
their confidence in wearing natural looking, current styled wigs in
a fashionable way that helps them feel comfortable in their own skin.
Bonus
Ques. I
believe in placing
your desires into the “Universe” you've been blessed to work with
clients such as LaToya Luckett, Actress Bresha Webb “Love that
Girl”, Tae Heckard
from BET, “The Game”, Mindless Behavior, and Edge
Magazine, LLC.,but let me help you place good vibrations into the
“Universe” Name two actresses, actors, or musicians you wish to
