Wanamingo native Jill Ofstie has opened shop in the Core 824 building formerly the Wanamingo School building. Jill grew up in Wanamingo and graduated from Kenyon Wanamingo High School. She loves the town and lives with her significant other, Zach, in the home she grew up in having purchased if from her parents.
Jill attended Empire Beauty School in Eden Prairie and has been a hair stylist for nineteen years. She worked in Rochester until she had her first child in 2024. She decided to set up shop in town to have a flexible schedule and be closer to her kids. She had her second child in May of this month. She also wants to be part of the Wanamingo business community and serve the residents of her hometown.
Jill operates a full-service salon and specializes in color and extensions, especially in blonde. She does cuts, brow waxes and men’s haircuts. She sells Kevin Murphy and Moroccan Oil products. She plans to expand by adding boutique items like hair accessories and candles in the future.
Jill plans to stay in the community because she wants her kids, Ryan and Quinn, to grow up in a worry-free small town like she did. A town where everyone knows and looks out for each other. A place where they can play and go to the pool, something that is more difficult in larger cities. Her sister and nieces, parents and grandmother all live in town. Jill has joined local organizations because she wants to support and give back to the community.
Jill is open Tuesday thru Saturday from 9am to 4pm and until 6:30pm on Wednesday evenings. She is open on some Saturdays and by appointment as well. You can contact her at 507-358-6952 or make an appointment on her booking website @ jillofstie.glossgenius.com
