Behind the name..
the J.E.T behind “jet | a studio salon” ✈
⠀
Giving you guys the run down of why I (Liz) chose the name, because it does have so much meaning to me. I probably went through 200+ different names, wrote them all down, thought for hours on end, read the dictionary, researched, made logos, the list goes on to try and find the perfect name. And boy, it was HARD ! (I can’t imagine choosing my child’s name) haha.
⠀
I didn’t want a generic sounding name, I didn’t want a repetitive salon name with color, foil, hair etc. (nothing against anyone else’s choice of names just not my style) , and I didn’t want it to be exactly related to just hair in itself. I wanted something with depth & meaning, which made things even more difficult.
⠀
Growing up, the thought of opening my own salon one day, let alone just being behind the chair was a dream. I moved to Idaho knowing only my brother, & worked so hard to make it happen. My family is supportive & real. They’ve taught me to work hard for everything I have. I’m thankful for the spontaneous gene we have of jumping into things head first, and hoping we come out swimming.
⠀
This brought me to a thought, when we were kids my dad opened his own trucking company. He thought of naming it “Jet trucking” (Josh, Elizabeth, Tara) but he always felt bad that the “T” for Tara (my sister) was last so he went with a different name instead. I always carried that with me because he thought of that name from our initials, and I loved that. He was silly to care which name was first, or last because none of us would’ve minded anyhow.
⠀
My brother is compassionate, generous, caring, not to mention stubborn, hard headed etc we will leave the rest out... hahaha. He will do ANYTHING for those he loves. He’s a role model, and an amazing person. Although we are 10 years apart we’ve grown so close over time, and I would be lost without his guidance.
“J” is for josh. Thank you for being you. “E” is Elizabeth (hey that’s me) although I go by Liz, Elizabeth is my real name.
For the “T”, I will say I’ve had quite a few hurdles in life but I’m not here to complain because I know things could always be worse. I’ve seen a lot, and overcame even more. I lost my sister at the age of 15.. and I miss her every single day. I Always want to call her when I’m having a rough day, and forever wish she was here for all my good ones. Although she’s not present to see the salon firsthand, I know she’s watching over so proud. The “T” is for Tara. You are my angel, best friend & you’ve given me the courage to be all that I can. ⠀
