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.

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?

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 style.

Take 6ix Q1.  As one of the actresses on the Reality Show you just filmed, how were you able to maintain your beauty regimen, seeing that you were in a rule area?

A. It was very hard to say the least, we didn't have ANYTHING! My "beauty regimen" was pretty much Chap Stick and finger coming my hair. (Chuckle Laughter).

 Take 6ix Q2. As a model and music artist on the go what advice would you offer our readers  in maintaining a healthy lifestyle? Please also share your typical daily meal.

A. Well, the biggest advice I would give to readers, would be to enjoy eating, but stay active. I LOVE to eat, run, and dance several times a week. As long as you are doing something high energy at least once a week, it helps tremendously. A typical meal would start with eggs... I love eggs. In addition to sausage, and potatoes for breakfast; Lunch, well I'm a sucker for fast food, but dinner is usually grilled fish or chicken with plenty of sides.

Take 6ix Q3. Define what Beauty means to you?

A.  Beauty to me  is internal. Exuding confidence, personality, mixed with style, and the looks  you were born with.

Take 6ix Q4. As the first lady of EME Music Rehab what are the three things you always have with you while in the studio?

A. My little red book, which is my music bible that includes every idea and lyric that I write. I also need candles, and at times a glass of champagne.

A. Well, there are a few individuals on reality TV that make it seem as if women can't be anything unless a man is involved. I want to show young girls the only way to reach your goals, and dreams isn't just to marry an athlete, or have a baby by a rapper. Work hard, be sure of exactly what you want, and have STANDARDS. I work hard not just for myself, but to show our youth you can get what you want without having to compromise your beliefs.

Take 6ix Q6. If you had to compare your vocals to a musical artist today who would it be and why?

A. Honestly, I can't compare myself  to any artist today; my voice is a lot softer than the artists who are out. However, still very soulful.

Take 6ix Bonus Q. Share with our readers what Jaguar is currently working on?

A. Currently I'm hosting a show called "This Week In Fashion" for Bite Size TV. I also just finished a shoot for Hairfinity Hair Products, and a new Reality Adventure Show that is still currently in production.
