Shavaughn's Bio

Shavaughn is a Professional Licensed Hairstylist with 18+ Years of Salon combined with  Film and TV experience. A very grateful member of the Local 798 Hair and Makeup Union and The Actors Fund Organization; in these environments  she has been provided opportunities to continue her education acquiring technical skills and financial knowledge; which assists in her career advancement as well as improvement of day to day life.

Her career journey started somewhere around 2001 doing clients around the neighborhood. She was very low key, Mostly creating lots of different styles on her own hair. She would experiment with popular sculpted styles, colors, haircuts, braids, and updo’s of the time. This seemingly intrigued others to inquire about hair appointments for themselves.  After hearing from several people that this should be a career for her; she finally went to school to become a licensed professional in 2004. Attending the Westerns Hills School of Beauty and Hair Design introduced her to a world of opportunities she never knew was possible for her. Immediately after receiving her cosmetology license; Shavaughn entered into a year long assistant program at Mitchells Salon and Day Spa. The program allowed her to learn from a different Master Stylist every two months. It was a great experience because each artist specialized in something different. This broad range of learning set her up nicely for success as an artist working on her own clients. With many mentors along the way, some of which occasionally leaving Cincy to work on projects for the entertainment industry; witnessing this inspired her to also see her name on the credits of projects in the same industry. This would also satisfy her strong desire to live outside of Ohio.

Landing in NYC the spring of 2010, writing for a news paper kind of fell into her lap because the Editor/Owner saw journalism potential in her. It proved to be a great experience, while she looked for a salon to establish her self in the beauty world and it also helped her get more familiar with navigating NYC. She chose Warren-Tricomi Salon and Spa where she really sharpened her skills; and this was the beginning of her meeting network contacts and clients in the Film and Tv industry; because the salon is a place where a lot of industry professionals (Models, Actors, Directs, Producers, etc.) come for services.

Overtime, Shavaughn has developed a high level of proficiency that allows her to pay very close attention to detail. she cares a lot about the overall health, style and shape of the hair of every client rather in person or on film. Her resume shows how she has worked for companies like Disney/ABC, Cinema Giants, and Roc nation to name a few. She has worked on music videos for artist like Jlo, Fat Joe/Cardi B, Nicky Jam, and Jon Bon Jovi and many more; As well as a list of Tv shows such as Good Morning America, World News Tonight, and The View.

Also on the list of experience is working on Fashion Week Shows and working for Product Companies creating tutorial videos that provide consumers with education of how to use the products.

 Shavaughn has undoubtedly reached her goal of seeing her name in the credits of projects in the Entertainment & Beauty Industries; but her journey has given her so much more. It has given her a true since of purpose; a better understanding of who she is and what she has to offer the world. One of her favorite quotes by Maya Angelou is “Success is liking Yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it!"
