About Shamail

Hey there! I’m Shamail, an on-location hair and makeup artist with nearly two decades of experience and a deep love for helping you feel like the most fabulous version of yourself. My passion is crafting timeless soft glam looks that celebrate your style and natural beauty, always with a touch of warmth, a sprinkle of laughter, and of course, luscious lashes (honestly, my favorite part).


Barbie Dolls, Sewing Shears & Big Dreams

My love story with the beauty industry didn’t begin in a salon. It started in childhood with my Mom’s sewing shears, a Barbie styling head, and a very brave first human client: my Mom. (Yes, she actually let me cut her real hair…and yes, she’s a saint!)

She was my first mirror...the one who showed me how to see beauty in myself and others. Growing up, she searched high and low for brown Barbies and dolls that looked like me, curating a collection that reflected the world in all its glorious diversity. Each doll she placed in my hands was a quiet declaration: you are seen, you are beautiful, you belong.

From her, I learned that beauty isn’t a mold to fit into; it’s a mosaic of shades, sizes and textures, each piece worthy of celebration. This profound lesson continues to shape and inspire every part of my life and work, driving my commitment to enhancing your unique radiance.

Whether you're planning an intimate elopement, a vineyard celebration or a luxe ballroom affair, I'll meet you there...beauty kit in tow, ready to create something magical.

Northeast Tennessee and beyond, traveling to meet you wherever your unique love story takes you.

Ready to envision your perfect day? I'd love to hear from you! Let's connect and create some magic together!
