Meet the Gypsies…

  • Jessica Massmann

    Owner & Lead Hairstylist

    This year marks Twenty-two Years in the Beauty Industry on this fantastic voyage I call life. I graduated Cosmetology School at Avanti in Lakeland, FL and spent the first ten years perfecting my cut and color skills. It was important for me to be well rounded in my craft and learn all the secrets of hair. After Fifteen years in the business I felt I needed more and I packed my bags to head home to Minnesota. After realizing my strengths lie in Event Hairstyling and Make Up, I built Gypsy Hair Guru, a business that loves to travel as much as I do. Gypsy Hair Guru had no brick and mortar until 2024, when I purchased MN NAF Salon, in South Minneapolis, where we found our new home.

    Gypsy Hair Guru was my dream to bring together Master Stylists and Makeup Artists together to grow our skills while bringing Luxury Styles to Minnesota Brides. Everyone feels Regal when they have a Professional Wedding Stylist teasing their hair on your special day.

    During the Week you will find me at MN NAF's Garden of the Gods satisfying my love of Vivid Colors, Flawless Blondes & Reds, Bellami Extensions, Natural Curls and All the Cuts my shears can make.

    Hair is my Specialty, and I Mastered All of It.

    Lead Makeup Artist

    My Makeup Journey started with my first job at Ulta Beauty Store where I grew my career in management to become a National Makeup Artist for Laura Mercier. I ventured out into freelance work with Chanel in 2016 and continue to perfect my skills with Wedding Makeup. I met Jessica in 2019 and joined the caravan with Gypsy Hair Guru. I love working with all our brides and adding the finishing touches to their natural Beauty.

    My passion for Makeup and Skin Care has driven me to pursue my Freelance Career to on-site locations for airbrushed finishes for Bridal & Wedding Parties, Photo Shoots and all of Your Special Events.
