Sharron May, Artist-In-Residence
"It takes 30 seconds to make a first impression. What's yours?"
BECOMING YOU
My business is creating first (and lasting) impressions. This begins with an INQUIRY - not about who you are or who you were, but about the WHO-YOU-ARE-BECOMING.
Next comes OBSERVATION. Looking at your hair texture, growth patterns, lifestyle, face and body contours leads to an inspired VISION. Finally, in picking up the shears, a dialogue with the hair begins. The result is collaborative and TRANSFORMATIVE.
At Beyond Salon we are less concerned about Image and more concerned with your Self-Image. When you shift the way you see yourself, it shifts the way others see you. Becoming You brings more beauty & authenticity to the world.
TECHNIQUE
I was trained in the Vidal Sassoon technique where the architecture of the haircut IS the style. I am, first and foremost, a Hair Architect. After wet cutting for precision and structure, your style is dried & then the fine-tuning & customization begins. The extra time & attention to detail sets your look - and my work - apart.
PRODUCTS
I exclusively use Aveda haircare, skincare, body care and 97% naturally derived hair color. Why? Horst Rechelbacher, Aveda's founder and my mentor, was a legendary icon in the beauty industry and a pioneer in the therapeutic use of plant and flower essences to replace petroleum-based ingredients in beauty care products. No other product line can match Aveda's integrity, high performance or commitment to the health of stylists, clients and the watershed. Aveda's Cradle-to-Cradle certification https://www.c2ccertified.org/, and adherence to the 10 CERES Principles https://www.ceres.org/ are verified by third party audit every 5 years. What could be better than preserving your beauty while preserving the beauty that surrounds you?

ABOUT SHARRON MAY
For over 30 years I've held various positions in the holistic beauty and wellness field: as an image designer, corporate trainer, franchise consultant and solo-preneur. In 1997, my passion for design expanded into regenerative land design, discovering the inherent beauty and wisdom of nature's design and patterns. In 2020, I became certified in Spiritual Direction, discovering the therapeutic beauty and wisdom of listening in silence and companioning others on their Inner Journey. In 2021 another flower is beginning to unfurl in the therapeutic beauty & wisdom of relating to one's self and the world. Self-Image Design is a process that empowers your deepest Beauty and Wisdom to unfold.
