The Gulfport coastline just got a little more polished. With the opening of THE TEN SPOT® beauty bar, entrepreneur and beauty industry expert Jana Kennedy brings a modern, full- service concept rooted in exceptional service and community.
Originally from Saskatchewan, Canada, Kennedy’s 25-year career spans coast to coast. She has worked with recognized global beauty brands and mentored women entrepreneurs around the world. After moving to Mississippi with her husband, who grew up right here in Mississippi, she quickly fell in love with the area.
“There’s something really special here,” she says. “The Southern charm, the sense of connection, it’s unlike anywhere else.”
That passion for people and her deep love of the beauty industry led her to partner with THE TEN SPOT®, a Canadian-born franchise known for blending expert services with a feel-good, empowering vibe. “We shared the same values: confidence, community, and celebrating women,” says Kennedy. “I knew I had to bring this to Gulfport.”
Positioned near a yoga and pilates studio and an upscale hair salon, THE TEN SPOT® Gulfport fits seamlessly into the area’s growing wellness scene. But more than a beauty bar, it’s a space for women to feel included, empowered, and celebrated.
“We’re all about creating a place where our team is proud to show up and our guests feel amazing, whether they’re here for a quick brow wax or a full afternoon of self-care,” Kennedy says. From manis and pedis to skincare, brows, lashes, and waxing, the TEN SPOT® team delivers top-tier results with Southern hospitality and a side of fun. “It’s always flip-flop season here,” she laughs. “So we’ve got you covered.”
