From 1980-1990, Tova worked at one of New York City's top ten salons (Pierre Michel) then located in Trump Tower and enjoyed working on some editorials for Cosmo Magazine and some runway fashion shows for assorted designers. After moving to Seattle in 1990, she returned to hairstyling at one of the first Aveda salons in Seattle, which at the time was a leading company in natural haircare.
Driven by her passion for holistic living and truly organic products, in March 2010 Tova opened EVOLVE.

Her bright and friendly attitude are a great compliment to her talents and skills. Jeska says, “I believe in natural beauty. When I see hair I ask, Is this realistic? Who would wear that? And, is it reasonable with their lifestyle?” She encourages her clients to challenge themselves and try new things. She loves creative color and giving people haircuts that work for their face, hair and lifestyle. In her free time she enjoys paddle boarding, traveling and music.
