Sheryl is the foundation, heart, and soul of Fringe Hair Art.
She comes from an extensive background in the hair industry. This includes working as an assistant to Paul Mitchell as well as traveling internationally training other professionals in the industry.
Her expectations for herself and her employees are set to the highest standard.
Sheryl's background in hair starts in 1985 when she started doing hair. A mere 6 months later she was brought on to Paul Mitchell's team. Her talent was apparent early in her 26 year career. She grew up in the New England area and loves it here. She owned a salon in Manchester, NH that she sold before she moved to Manhattan, where she lived for 5 years. She worked building educational teams in several locations, and Paul Mitchell began flying her to London to work with a company called 365. 365 was a company that focused mainly on business and customer service.
The company taught along the lines that to be the best you must recognize the client's needs.
She was working steadily when she was transferred to Las Vegas, NV to open a new salon at Mandalay Bay. 10 years and a beautiful baby daughter later, she realized she wanted a more fitting community to raise her daughter in.
After coming to Kennebunkport, Maine for 30 years with her own family, Sheryl chose to launch Fringe Hair Art here. She noticed the lack in the community of a luxury salon, with the closest comparable salons being in Portsmouth, NH and Portland, ME she knew it was a good place to start.
Sheryl Miller had been creating other successful salons for so long that she knew it was finally time to start one for herself.
She chose to carry the Kerastase line in Fringe Hair Art. Kerastase came into the US 10 years ago and was launched in a salon where Sheryl was working. Although Sheryl still loves and has a great respect for Paul Mitchell, she chose Kerastase because it is a sophisticated and simplisitic luxury treatment line of hair products.
Sheryl constantly leads the team atmosphere at the hair salon in Kennebunkport, Maine. She is not above doing anything that needs to be done and leads by example. She personally trains the assistants who then move onto being New Talent on the floor when they "graduate" from the additional training Sheryl provides.
She always tells me there is nothing else she would have ever done.
There has never been a day that she has NOT wanted to go to work. As soon as she picks up her hair scissors, the outside world melts away and she is in her zone.
One thing continues to stick out in my mind that Sheryl once told me.
"It is not about what happens to us, it is alot how we respond to what happens to us. That's all we have control over."
Sheryl has certainly made her own dreams come true and continues to help others reach their dreams.
Fringe Hair Art is lucky to have such a talented, caring, thoughtful, and ambitious Artistic Director like Sheryl Miller.
