Portrait of Jacqueline Goleash, stylist at Meraki Salon and Spa in Springfield, IL.

Salon Owner & Hairstylist

Jacqueline Goleash

Meraki Salon’s visionary owner and stylist, Jacqueline Goleash, carries the legacy of hair artistry in her veins. As a second-generation hairstylist, her earliest memories are of watching her mother work wonders behind the chair — a passion that was destined to become her calling. After refining her skills for over four years in a local salon, Jacqueline’s dream took flight when she established Meraki Salon and Spa in October 2017.

Over the years, she has evolved into a master of hair color and design, known for her keen eye, precision, and visionary approach. Her rapidly growing clientele is a testament to both her artistry and her ability to help guests see and celebrate their intrinsic beauty.

Beyond the salon, Jacqueline’s life is equally rooted in purpose and passion. In 2024, she and her family established Goleash Family Farms,  a space grounded in faith, family, and hard work. From raising animals to watching their boys run barefoot through open fields, farm life has become a beautiful extension of the values she carries into her business: dedication, stewardship, and gratitude.

Whether behind the chair or out in the pasture, Jacqueline continues to build a life and legacy centered around creativity, family, and intention.

Rooted in Family.
Built with Intention.

Established in 2024, Goleash Family Farms is a reflection of Jacqueline’s heart outside the salon. What began as a dream has grown into a thriving family farm — home to cattle, goats, and a life grounded in hard work and simple joys.

For Jacqueline and her family, farm life is about more than land and livestock. It’s about raising their boys with freedom to explore, responsibility to care for animals, and an appreciation for the beauty of a slower, intentional life.
