Looking for something fun to do while in Quarantine! We're THRILLED to announce a collaboration with local performer and hair/makeup artist Gemma-Louise Sherman!

Every Wednesday at 1:30, Gemma will take over our Facebook and go live, showing you different tips and tricks of theatrical hair and makeup styles!

Join us this Wednesday for a pincurl tutorial! (Is there something you'd like to see Gemma tackle in this series? Leave a comment below!)

"Gemma-Louise Sherman has been a stylist and makeup artist for almost 7 years. She has worked at Signature Salon and Spa in Waukesha for almost 6 years where she also teaches upstyling and makeup.

Gemma has also done hair and makeup for a number of plays and musicals. Some of her favorites include 'The Addams Family', 'Les Miserable', 'The Wiz' and 'MUD'. Although she misses being on stage herself, she loves that she still gets to be a part of the theater world.

She has also participated in Milwaukee fashion week and has done makeup for New York Fashion week.

What Gemma does is a true passion of hers and she is excited to share what she knows, from a safe distance behind a camera. "
