Welcome to Jessica Jane Co: Beauty, Wellness, Womanhood, Motherhood & Becoming More You!
Updated: Jul 15
Hello and welcome.
If you’ve found your way here, whether through a Google search, social media, a recommendation from a friend, or because you’ve sat in my salon chair before, I’m so glad you’re here.
My name is Jessica Manning, although most people call me Jess, and this blog is the beginning of something I’ve wanted to create for a very long time.
Jessica Jane Co isn’t just a beauty business.
It’s a space for women.
A space for growth.
A space for honest conversations about beauty, wellness, womanhood, motherhood, business, confidence, healing and everything in between.
It’s a place where we can learn, laugh, grow and support each other as we navigate the beautiful chaos of modern life.
A Little About Me
I live in Bordon on the Surrey and Hampshire border with my family, our dog Bailey, and what often feels like a never-ending collection of toys, laundry and coffee cups.
I’m a beauty professional, educator, wellness advocate, entrepreneur and most importantly, a woman navigating the many seasons of life.
I was born in Illinois, USA and adopted by a family in the UK as a baby. Throughout my life I’ve experienced many of the things that shape who we become as women:
Adoption and identity
Late diagnosed ADHD (I was the one who slipped through the system because on paper I was good)
Motherhood
Postpartum mental health challenges
IBS and gut health struggles
Sobriety
Weight loss and wellness transformation
Building businesses from scratch
Learning how to believe in myself
Like many women, my path hasn’t been straight. There have been seasons of confidence and seasons of doubt.
Moments where I’ve felt completely aligned and moments where I’ve felt completely lost. What I’ve learned is that growth isn’t about becoming someone else.
It’s about becoming more of who you truly are.
What Is Jessica Jane Co?
Jessica Jane Co is an umbrella for everything I love and everything I hope to build.
At its heart, it’s about helping women feel confident, supported and empowered.
That currently includes:
Beauty
As a nail technician and makeup artist in Bordon, Hampshire, I help women feel confident through services such as BIAB nails, gel nails, makeup lessons and occasion makeup.
Beauty should never be about perfection.
It should be about helping you feel like the best version of yourself.
Education
One of my biggest passions is helping other women build careers they love.
Through Jessica Jane Beauty Academy, I’ll be offering beauty training and nail courses designed to help aspiring nail technicians and beauty professionals gain confidence, practical skills and real-world knowledge.
Whether you’re considering a career change or looking to expand your existing skills, I want education to feel supportive, achievable and empowering.
Wellness
My own health journey has taught me that wellness isn’t about extremes.
It’s about creating habits that support your energy, confidence and quality of life.
Here you’ll find conversations about:
* Gut health
* Women’s wellness
* Nutrition
* Mindset
* Healthy habits
* Biohacking
* Personal growth
* Sustainable lifestyle changes
No fads.
No perfection.
Just practical ways to feel better.
Community
Perhaps the most important part of Jessica Jane Co is community.
I know what it feels like to crave connection.
To want a village.
To want friendships and conversations that go beyond small talk.
Whether through events, networking, retreats, workshops or simply this blog, my goal is to create spaces where women feel welcomed, supported and encouraged to grow through every stage of life.
What You’ll Find On This Blog
This blog will be a mixture of educational articles, personal stories and practical advice.
Topics will include:
* Beauty tips and trends
* Nail education
* Makeup advice
* Wellness and gut health
* Womanhood, motherhood and life transitions
* Personal development
* Business and entrepreneurship
* Beauty industry education
* Women’s health and confidence
* Community and connection
Some posts will teach.
Some will inspire.
Some will simply remind you that you’re not alone.
Why I Started This Blog
Because for years I thought I needed to have everything figured out before I shared my voice.
I thought I needed to be more successful.
More experienced.
More qualified.
More polished.
But the truth is that the women who have helped me most haven’t been perfect.
They’ve been honest.
So this blog won’t be perfect.
It will be real.
It will evolve.
And hopefully it will become a place that feels like a trusted friend, a supportive mentor and a welcoming community all rolled into one.
Let’s Grow Together
If you’ve made it this far, thank you.
Thank you for being here at the very beginning.
Whether you’re a salon client, a fellow business owner, a mum, a grandmother, a beauty professional, a wellness enthusiast or simply someone looking for a little inspiration, you’re welcome here.
My hope is that this space helps you feel seen, supported and reminded that growth doesn’t have to happen alone.
This is just the beginning.
I’m so excited to see where this journey takes us.
With love,
Jess xoxo
Founder of Jessica Jane Co
