Friday Feature: Boerne Moms Edition - Meet Jackie Cooper
Here at Boerne Love, we’re thrilled to shine a light on the inspiring moms of Boerne who bring their talents and energy into our community. Each of these remarkable women adds something special to our town through their hard work, passion, and dedication. Today, we’re excited to introduce you to Jackie Cooper, a seasoned hairstylist and owner of her own salon, known for her warm heart, creative touch, and commitment to making people feel their best!
A Journey to Entrepreneurship
Jackie’s journey to owning her own salon began after she moved to Boerne from Dallas and brought with her a 28-year career in hairdressing. For Jackie, opening her own salon was about more than just creating beautiful hairstyles—it was about finding a career that allowed her the flexibility to balance her personal life and professional goals. By setting her own schedule, she could provide personalized, attentive service that fit around her clients’ needs.
Giving Back to the Boerne Community
Jackie has a big heart for giving back, especially to single moms in Boerne. Each Mother’s Day, she invites her community to nominate a single mom who deserves a little pampering. The chosen mom receives a complimentary haircut and color—a way for Jackie to boost her confidence and brighten her day. Jackie sees her salon as a place where she can support others in meaningful ways, offering a touch of beauty and care to those who might not otherwise receive it.
Boerne Favorites: Family, Friends, and Fun
Favorite Family Event:
One of Jackie’s favorite family traditions is Boerne’s annual Christmas Light Parade, which fills Main Street with the magic of the season. She also loves the Weiner Dog Parade, a quirky and charming event that brings the community together.
Favorite Boerne Date Spot:
Jackie’s go-to spot for a casual date is Sauced. She’s a huge football fan and loves the relaxed vibe, familiar faces, and their delicious veggie wings, which she always recommends to friends! For a more dressed-up evening, Peggy’s on the Green is her choice, offering an elevated experience that feels just right for a special night out.
Girls’ Night Out Favorite:
When it comes to a night out with her girlfriends, Cypress Grill is her top pick. “The food is fantastic, and Katie always gives phenomenal service!” Jackie says. The portions are generous, making it perfect for sharing great food, a glass of wine, and catching up with friends.
Family Activities:
With a 24-year-old daughter who’s soon to be married, Jackie cherishes family outings to the Cibolo Nature Center. She loves taking their dog Riggs out to explore the natural beauty that Boerne has to offer. “It’s a gorgeous spot nestled right in Boerne—a true treasure,” she says.

Jackie loves staying connected with her clients and shares her work primarily on Facebook. She has a loyal clientele, with some clients even traveling from Dallas to Boerne to have her do their hair.
