Atkin moved to Los Angeles at the age of 19 to pursue hair with only 300 dollars. Lorraine Schwartz helped Atkin when she first moved to LA. In 2000, she began working as a receptionist at Estilo Salon in West Hollywood. Later Atkin worked at the Chris McMillan and Andy LeCompte salons in Hollywood. In 2006, Atkin was a member of the hair team for Madonna's Confessions Tour. She also worked as a personal hairstylist for John Galliano. While working for Galliano, Atkin travelled to Paris to work at fashion shows and made connections by talking herself into VIP lounges.
Atkin frequently works with the stars of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, including styling their hair for the interview portions of the reality show. She met Kim through friends and began working with her in 2010 for a shoot for Cosmopolitan. She met Khloe during the shoot, who asked her to create her looks for The X Factor, and eventually began working with the rest of the family. Through this interaction, she became friends with the Kardashians and is featured on Kim Kardashian's video game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. On several occasions, Atkin has collaborated with hairstylist and wigmaker Tokyo Stylez to complete looks for Kylie Jenner.
Since 2012, Atkin has traveled regularly to the Middle East, where she cuts hair at salons in Dubai, Bahrain, and Qatar. Atkin's motivation for continuing to cut hair in the Middle East is that "There are not a lot of trained stylists in the Middle East who know how to do modern curls, or know how to really cut thick, coarse hair in a way that grows out nicely." Occasionally, Atkin also cuts hair in Los Angeles at Andy LeCompte Salon, where her appointments cost upwards of $600. Atkin is well known on Instagram and credits her social media marketing skills to scrapbooking during her childhood. She released a hair accessories collection called Jen Atkin X Chloe + Isabel.
Her first book, Blowing My Way to the Top, will be published by Harper Collins in December 2020.
In 2016, with Jen Atkin as the face of the brand, Lamees Hamdan incorporated the hair care line. OUAI, a Los Angeles-based branch of Dubai, created OUAI FZE for the US and international trading of OUAI products online as a store and subscription service. See California Secretary of State Registry Page for OUAI FZE. The name OUAI comes from an informal way of saying the French word "oui" and is meant to sound casual and unpretentious. Later, she partnered with Sephora to put the product in stores after realizing there was a market for both online and in-store sales. She wanted the hair care line to be developed by a community rather than "a lot of men in boardrooms". In 2019, OUAI launched its first body care product.
Atkin began a digital magazine in 2014 aimed at hair education alongside some of her colleagues. She serves as the magazine's creative director, providing tutorials and hair advice. The magazine also features interviews with famous hairstylists like Harry Josh.
Mane University is the name of the educational courses and seminars provided by ManeAddicts. Atkin and other famous hairstylists, such as Rita Hazan, teach classes on hair products and styling hair.
