Sherri Jessee’s Colorific Doodie Dog -2023
Photos: Sherri Jessee. Collage: helenoppenheim.com
Sherri Jessee a professional hairdresser who owns her own salon – Sherri’s Salon in Bristol, Virginia – has been published the world over with her innovative hair inspirations. Since the pandemic she started photographing her dogs instead of gorgeous models.
One of Sherri’s two beloved Aussie Doodie dogs, Luna, has some spotting on her coat as well as light grey hair on her ears and tail. On the left of this collage, you can see what she looked when she first arrived – long hair on her face and beard, shorter hair on her body.
To make Luna more interesting, Sherri used Opawz Permanent Hair Dyes for professional groomer use, non-toxic, gentle on the pet’s coat and specially formulated for use on dogs and horses. With a regular hair color brush, wearing rubber gloves because the color stains immediately, she first brushed the ready to use no-mixing-needed color on ears and tail in Adorable Pink. Later she played with other color combinations of purple and pink, one time she put multicolored stripes around her dog’s legs. The color, she says, starts out bright but gradually fades to a pastel.

Oliver, a Golden Doodie, Sherri’s other adored dog, is a perfect natural blonde so there are no plans to color his hair. “Our Mom @sherrijessee says we are the cutest dogs in all the land”. To see the fun on Oliver and Luna’s Instagram Page, CLICK HERE

CommentColor Your Roots The Easy Way @ Home – 2020
Video by Sherri Jessee
This YouTube Video with Covid Kit Instructions by Sherri Jessee, one of many she has produced on hair and makeup, shows you how to color your roots the easy way at home. Of course, unless you are a lucky client of the Sherri Jessee Hair Salon in Virginia, you will need to ask your own hair colorist to be kind enough to send you your formula and a hair color brush, or to tell you where you can purchase your color, developer and a brush. But hoping you have a caring colorist, here is what you can do, step by step with many details how to do this. For How To, CLICK BELOW
The alternatives are spray on or dust on a temporary hair color cover, which will last until you shampoo your hair. I use Color Wow Root Cover Up, which is easy to apply.

Fab, flirty, fantastic. Gelled kiss curls spiral on the face in an intricate design, by Sherri Jessee, who brings another whole concept idea for drop-dead entrances, fashion photography, fashion runways, red carpet. Even one kiss curl is better than a boring bare face, however beautiful! The hair does need to be one length, but the idea could also work with a one length bob or most updos. The possibilities are endless. First published in my column for the December issue of Peluquerias Magazine, where there are many more hair inspo ideas.

This pull through crown braid by Sherri Jessee is not only very pretty, shows up big, but is also secure, each loop being secured by a tiny elastic. The remaining hair was wrapped on a 3/4 inch Curling Wand for texture – “great for curling long hair quickly,” advised the hairdresser, whose model here is Miss Virginia Teen USA 2016, Gracyn Blackmore.

Inspiration. Short hair is trending – it suddenly seems refreshingly new as everyone seems to be wearing their long hair in almost the same few styles, losing the uniqueness that they could have. Take these short styles by Sherri Jessee, looking fashionably trendy and as sexy as any long hair. The hair with movements on the left was achieved with a plethora of large clips to “set” the hair before brushing out and with a 3/4″ curling rod close to the roots for volume and lift on the right. The bold red lip on the left and the soft pink lip with a brush of gold powder on the right both work with the pale blonde hair. These styles got a full page in my column for Spain’s Peluquerias Magazine.
