Meet Jessica Bower


Jessica Bower - Nail Technician
It all started with an interest in fashion!

Years at Verde: 1 year

Years in Business: 2 years

Favorite movie: 50 First Dates

Career Philosophy: 
"I've always had an interest in the fashion industry. I tried some modelling in high school, and went to fashion school in NYC for a year before I met my husband. I had considered studying massage therapy, or cosmetology but I felt nails was the best fit for me. It was a way for me to be creative and work with my hands. I especially enjoy doing pedicures; the feet get quite a beating and it's my job to clean them up, and to make it an enjoyable and relaxing experience."

Kevin Gatto Talks about the Oscars

Kevin Gatto talks to Ritz Film Bill 
Discusses his favorite Oscar Moments

"My all time favorite Oscar moment was the power of watching Tom Hanks win for Philadelphia in 1993.  As a young gay man coming out at the time, seeing Hanks give a voice to our community and portray it so powerfully as to win an Oscar was incredibly uplifting for me."

"Finally, E.T. without a doubt is my favorite Oscar winning film.  It was my favorite movie as a child and in some way still is.  It shows the enormity of the human spirit and is full of adventure."

Kevin also live Tweets his Fashion Red Carpet Review, you can follow him at @KevinGattoStyle

Kevin is available for hair appointments at Verde Salon for hair cuts, hair colors, or highlights.  Verde has a reputation as being one of the best hair salons in south Jersey.  Call 856-858-0911 or book online.

Verde Salon featured in American Salon

Verde Salon in American Salon Magazine

Every salon owner dreams of being featured in an industry magazine, being recognized by the industry for being good at the craft and for offering a superior product/service.  It's rare that a salon is recognized by "THE" leading salon magazine - AMERICAN SALON MAGAZINE, but we're going to brag for just a bit.  Verde is being featured in the March issue of American Salon Magazine.  We're thrilled and wanted to share it with you!  
Here's are some excerpts from the article that really sums up the Verde Salon experience.
“We call it the ‘green carpet experience,’” Gatto says, noting that even on the busiest days, clients comment on the aura of calm in the 1,350-square-foot salon and day spa. “We want them to have that experience of complete relaxation for the entire visit,” he explains. 
A hot towel treatment with essential oils is part of every service. The minimalist decor, polished concrete floors and white walls with green accents were designed to project calm in a way that Gatto describes as elegant and pretty, but gender-neutral. 
Verde Salon, just off Haddon Avenue in the heart of downtown, is committed to staying green and fashion-forward while delivering an experience that harkens back to a time when service was king
Verde offers a fashion forward focus to hair cuts, hair color, highlights and provides those services with unparalleled professionalism.  Don't take our word for it, trust the leading salon magazine - American Salon.
