It was his greatest honor to do hair - whether for A-list celebrities or his next door neighbor. Jeff loved making others feel beautiful. He found great joy in his work, transforming it from a mere job to his life's work.

Jeffrey is survived by his loving father, Stephen Heien, his step-mother Gay Heien, his sister Jennifer Schossow, and step-siblings Tara Brunin, James Hardesty, and Tiffany Heien.
