Hi, I’m Jackie! I’ve been in and around the greater Birmingham area all of my life, and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else! I have a wonderful husband and an amazing family, including two sons, two daughters-in-law, and two grandchildren.

I’ve been a hairstylist almost all of my life, and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. (Except for maybe landscaping. As my husband Sam says, I love “digging in the dirt.”)

I’ve been “behind the chair” for four decades, and in that time I’ve watched the salon industry “reinvent” itself as technology, trends, and the expectations of my clients have changed. I’m proud of the fact that professionalism has taken it’s place in our country’s salons, and is the foundation for all that we do in Salon M2.

I’ve been blessed for all these years in that what I do for a living also happens to be my passion. I never grow tired of making people feel good about themselves!

I'm in the process of retiring, but I'll be in and around the salon for while yet.

I look forward to meeting you!


Hi! I’m Sam Maniscalco, the “other M” of Salon M2. (If you’re wondering where we got the name for the salon, the M2 stands for Maniscalco x 2. Genius, right?) For the past twenty-nine years I’ve been the “business” end of the equation. I’ve always left the creative side of things to my wife Jackie and our team of stylists.

I’ll be quite honest with you in saying that as a child, being a salon owner was not on my list of What I want to be when I grow up. Being surrounded by women and gossip and raging hormones just didn’t excite me at all! Be that as it may, in a story that’s almost too unbelievable to be true (I won’t bore you with the details), that’s exactly what I became and where I was in the fall of 1989.


So here I sit, all these years later, reflecting on my time in this industry as I try to decide what to tell you about me in this “Bio.” 

I have an amazing wife, who also happens to be my best friend. I have an incredible team that has made my role as a leader in our salon so much easier. I’m the proud co-owner of a salon that has risen to incredible heights since we first opened our doors in 2005. I love that I get to play a role in growing careers, and mentoring, and helping people to attain their goals.

I love serving a God who lifted me out of a pit just over twenty-five years ago and helped me to stand until I learned how to walk with Him.

As I tell most everyone that I meet, I AM blessed, and highly favored.

Thanks for visiting. I look forward to meeting you!
