About Shamail
Where beauty meets heart + lashes, love and laughter are always included.
Hey there fabulous friend! I’m Shamail, a traveling hair and makeup artist with over 15 years of experience and a heart full of gratitude for every individual who sits in my chair.
But let me take you back to where it all began…
💇🏽♀️ Barbie Dolls, Sewing Shears & Big Dreams
My love story with beauty started early…armed with my Mom’s sewing shears, a Barbie styling head, and the wild confidence only a child can have. (Yes, she let me cut her real hair. Yes, she’s a saint.)
My Mom lovingly curated a collection of dolls that reflected the world…representing many skin tones and hair textures…so I grew up seeing beauty in all its forms. She encouraged me to explore, experiment and celebrate individuality…mine and everyone else’s.
💄 From MAC Counters to Bridal Suites
After beauty school, I spent years behind the chair building my salon clientele and soaking up every bit of knowledge I could get my hands on. My time with MAC Cosmetics taught me how to think like an artist: to match a mood, tell a story and let the makeup speak.
That experience launched me into freelance work where I could meet my clients where they were, literally and creatively.
👰🏾♀️ The Mirror Moments
Weddings are my love language. One of the most rewarding moments I get to witness are “mirror moments”…those quiet, joyful seconds when a client sees themself and lights up. The smile. The gasp. The happy tears. It’s magic and it reminds me why I do what I do.
💕 What You Can Expect
When we work together, it won’t just feel like another vendor appointment…it’ll feel like getting ready with a friend who just happens to know exactly how to create your dream hair and makeup.
I’m here to listen, to hype you up and to help you feel like the most confident version of yourself…on your wedding day and beyond.

I’m based in Northeast Tennessee, serving brides in the Tri-Cities as well as just across the border in Virginia, North Carolina or wherever your love story takes you.
