3 Words that best describe me:

Loyal, Kind, & Hard-Working

What clients can expect:

“…as your professional makeup and hair artist, my objective goes beyond how I can make you look. It is also about how I leave you feeling. My job is to help set the tone for your important event and prepare you to be- FANTASTIC- for your occasion. I have been told that I am the ‘Calm in the Chaos’.

Stress is not supposed to be a part of your special day, and since I have the privilege of being in your personal space, I believe it is important for me to make you feel comfortable and calm prior to your event. My approach is simple: provide the best care, pay attention to detail and treat you as if you are family. Lastly, the goal for our time together is to have you walk away from my chair feeling rejuvenated”. -Sherry

Deep Conditioning: Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate!!! For Blondes: OLAPEX Toning Shampoo & Conditioner For Smoothing & Styling (curly or straight hair): Color Wow Dream Coat (either to wear smooth, or curly) For hairspray & hold: LIVING PROOF Dry Volume Blast is perfect to add volume without hold, a texture spray. I use it on my hair when it’s too limp from being clean.

Why I chose this career:

Honestly, because I didn’t know what else to do…LOL. I knew that I loved to be creative & I loved to sing. I saw all the many DIFFERENT avenues of opportunity that I could choose from in the beauty industry (and I’ve experienced almost all of them); while at the same time doing something that I loved: Being creative. The BONUS was the impact I could have on others…being a “Daymaker” is something very special. Human beings are made to love & be loved…What a great way to do that. I get to remind people everyday how special they are & that they have value; by what I do, and how I can make them feel for BOTH my clients & the artists I work with. After so many years of being in this industry, I now know that this was my calling, and it is SO much deeper than “doing hair”; It’s about the impact we can have on the lives of others and the difference we can make by reminding people that they are loved & important.
