Located on Taggart Street in East Palestine, Cuttin’ Loose Family Hair Shop is more than just a place to get a trim – it’s a space where hair meets heart. Owned and operated by lifelong local Jesse Wince, Cuttin’ Loose has been serving the community since 2016 – offering everything from men’s clipper cuts to kids’ glitter styles, all in a welcoming and personal environment.
Jesse, a 2007 East Palestine graduate, returned to her roots after years of working outside town, eventually opening her own shop. Now in a bright, updated location, Cuttin’ Loose collaborated on the building and shares space with HammerNink, a tattoo studio next door – creating a creative hub right in the heart of the village.
“Doing hair is definitely a necessity. People need a haircut,” said Jessie. “And when I brought my business into East Palestine, that was my focus – to provide a quality service in a comfortable space, at a price point people felt good about, without having to travel outside of town.”
Open four days a week and flexible by appointment, Jesse tailors her schedule around her family and her clients. She’s also deeply involved in the community, supporting local fundraisers when she can.
As East Palestine continues to rebuild and grow, Jesse remains focused on what she does best: “Being impactful in the lives of the people I serve—and who serve me. The connections you make in the chair go beyond just hair,” Jesse shared. “It’s truly the people that make it special. We laugh, we cry, we pray – it’s more heart than hair.”
