What Tersia Geary loves about hairdressing is working with people and creating that Picasso Masterpiece that makes each of her client’s smile and say, ‘I love my hair!’.
Tersia was a born stylist as from a young age she was playing with her mom’s hair and pretending to be a hairdresser. “My aunt used to be a stylist, so I am convinced it runs in my blood. I even cut our neighbour’s daughter’s hair into a very inexperienced asymmetrical style, practising from an early age, although my backside was warmed up well for playing with scissors,” she laughs. “Personally, I think that you are either born with the love and passion for hair and people or not at all.”
Today this experienced hairdresser, whose dream became a reality when she opened her own salon in October 2019 in Hillcrest, finds inspiration from new marketing trends and social media sites. “To keep up with the fast-changing hair trends we (my team and I) try to attend many seminars and we receive training on products from all our brand service providers. If we don’t keep up, we will be left behind with the latest colour, foiling and cutting trends.”
Tersia says another attraction she loves about her hairdressing career is being more to her clients than just the stylist sorting out the crown they never take off. “We are also councilors, a shoulder to cry on and so much more … we get to know their spouse and see their children growing up and having kids of their own. What is there not to love about my job,” she smiles.
Having an incredible passion for people, Tersia loves to see her team succeed and believes hairdressers should help and empower each other to be the best version of themselves as a hair stylist.
When you enter Sheer Perfection Hair Salon you immediately feel the same positive and welcoming atmosphere that is projected in Tersia’s warm and joyful character.
“I always say here you can relax without feeling guilty while enjoying a delicious cup of Pat or Lydia`s coffee or their magical head massages to get rid of daily stress. Our highly qualified stylists offer all colour services (foils, ombre, grey coverage etc,), matric dance up styles, wedding packages, perms, Mycro keratin smoothing treatment, and much more.”
Tersia also promotes hair brand products that are eco-friendly and not tested on animals, and while customers are waiting for their colour or perm to process, the lovely nail tech, Pretty, offers manis and pedicures using Lola Lee and Bio Sculpture gel with acrylic dipping and art work.
For the month of April Only, clients who have any colour, foils, perm or Mycro keratin treatments booked will also receive a free cut and blow wave.
