We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Sherry Hamby. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Sherry below.
Sherry, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. How did you learn to do what you do? Knowing what you know now, what could you have done to speed up your learning process? What skills do you think were most essential? What obstacles stood in the way of learning more?
Thank you for inviting me to speak with you. Hello readers:) My craft is hair dressing. I have spent the last 20 years dedicated to it, the first 5 years I apprenticed at a top salon in cutting and coloring. The last 15 years I have been improving. I have passionately developed a unique approach to hair coloring and cutting. This has allowed me to grow immensely in this industry. I enjoy my business every minute and I have only gratitude for the opportunities it has presented. I always seek growth, like minded professionals and providing the highest level of service.
In this profession ( like many) one of the most essential skills is dedication to the craft. Dedication is a great tool to remove obstacles and promote growth. The right mindset combined with practice equals no ceiling and no end to the creative process.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I am currently in my third year as an Austenite and you can find me a Bex and Co Salon ( Domain location) I specialize in natural looking hair color, color correction, fine hair and personalized hair cutting. Most recently I have joined the ranks as a Session Stylist for Kevin Murphy. In 2023 I would like to manifest courses in all things “hair business.” I truly believe that each of us can elevate this industry in our own way. Hairdressing was my chosen and only career. It is an honor to be behind the chair providing service, touching humanity and celebrating human art.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
My first goal is to do great hair and make every person I touch feel special. They are. I have another goal, which is to share my approach and methodology. I have been so successful I naturally want to share it. I have always been involved with educating in some capacity; professionals, students, clients. I hope to join others in elevating this industry.
Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?
The most effective strategy for growing my clientele has been my passion and desire to listen to every individual and their needs. I love what I do. I want everyone of my clients’ hair goals to be achieved. I enjoy educating them on what is achievable and I do it toxin free. It is important to me that every guest feels valued.. I fully tune in, listen and then we collaborate. Best job ever:)
