Sherri's Picks

Sherri’s Ultimate List

Sep 06, 2012

Beauty Company ringleader Sherri Ziesche is known for impeccable taste with all things beauty. She’s asked daily for recommendations, and she has a strict “no pay for play” policy – meaning she does not accept complimentary services in return for promotions! She always practices honesty with referrals. If she wouldn’t send her best friend to a treatment, she wouldn’t send a stranger either! As a licensed aesthetician in San Francisco for over 20 years, she knows the beauty scene like no one else. Read on for her recommendations of the best of the best in San Francisco.

1. Dermatology Dr. Seth Matarasso The one and only! Ask anyone in the biz, his name will come up first.

2. Botox Dr. Tammy Foster Her “less is more” approach produces phenomenal results, every time.

3. Facials Maria Zeeleska The only person Sherri lets touch her skin! Complete trust. Sherri typically gets facials once a year and maintains at home by doing monthly non-abrasive peels.

4. Breast Augmentation/Plastic Surgery Dr. Timothy Marten Sherri always sees amazing results come out of his office. His breast augmentation procedure includes going through the nipple and under the muscle, so what you see and feel is more nature. He is also known for his incredible eye work.

5. Haircuts Ron Lee at Elevations Of the legendary Asian stylist twins of San Francisco (brother is Jon Lee, lead stylist at Vidal Sassoon) these two men rock the SF hair scene. Both are fabulous, and Sherri typically does two-three full wet & dry cuts with Ron a year, then maintains with dry cuts from any of the stylists at Beauty Company. Dry cuts are the secret to keeping her hair long and strong!

6. Hair Color Honestly, Sherri’s not picky! She never does the same formula twice. She does have about three formulas on file at Beauty Company for when her hair goes too blonde (wait – is that possible?!) Sherri says YES – too much blonde loses all-over tone and dimension! She recommends shaking it with lowlights at least every third color appointment. While she sees the Beauty Company stylists regularly, if downtown Sherri recommends Jason Moran at di Pietro Todd or Melissa at Suite 5. She maintains long-lasting relationships with both!

7. Face Lifts Dr. David Kaufman Amazing results!

8. Eyebrows Phong at Beauty Company Sherri is known for being pickiest about her brows!!! While she saw Maria (mentioned above for facials) for years, she now sees Phong religiously. Phong does incredible shaping!

9. Mani/Pedis Beauty Company This is why Sherri expanded Beauty Company! She prefers a clean, comfortable environment (with a huge color selection!) rather than a spa environment, which makes Beauty Company such a unique beauty destination! For a spa she recommends….

10 a). Local Spa The Nob Hill Spa at The Huntington Hotel Perfect day spa in SF!

10 b). Destination Spa Spirit Rock in West Marin is an oasis of relaxation. Esalen in Big Sur provides a remote, beautiful spa also.

Concen-STRAIGHT!

Jul 27, 2012

The ever-expanding Bumble&Bumble has recently launched their “Straight” line, which is refreshingly simple with only three products. Their first ever sulfate-free shampoo, a moisturizing/smoothing conditioner, and “Straight Blow Dry” – a balm that when used properly is guaranteed to straighten, smooth and control your hair.

Start with the shampoo and conditioner in the shower. Finish by applying Straight Blow Dry throughout damp hair, roots to ends. Use a large brush (paddle is recommended, though if you prefer a round brush click here to choose the right one). Straight Blow Dry is heat activated, so you must use your blow dryer with the product (though heat protection is built in, so don’t worry!). The formula is light-weight and non-greasy, but intended for coarse or thick hair that needs help with frizz, control, smoothness or shine.

DevaCurl

Jul 16, 2012

DevaCurl is one of our best selling lines for a reason- it is REALLY effective! Formulated only for curly locks, Deva has an entire school and brand built around their philosophies on treating curls. For the severely curly who struggled to find the perfect haircut, we recommend a stylist who has certification through Deva. A “DevaCut” differs than most haircuts because part is performed on dry hair, part on wet, and sitting under the hood dryer (as opposed to using a blow dryer) is involved. Sound complicated? Trust us,  if your curls never lay right, a DevaCut will change your life!

Trying to grow out a painful cut and don’t want anyone to approach your curls with scissors? Start using the Deva Styling line. Their concept is that suds=frizz (true!) so they’ve created a “No Poo” and “Low Poo” to be used in place of traditional shampoo. The “No Poo” is zero lather, essentially making it a cleansing conditioner. The “Low Poo” lightly lathers (for those folks who just can’t handle absolutely no suds!). The only conditioner is “One Condition” which is light but moisturizing, and can be used as a leave-in. Their styling products range from light gels to firmer creams to revitalizing spritzers and more. We have testers of each of the products out, so we suggest you play with them all and see which ones respond best to your hair. Curls can be finicky (they are, after all, so very different and unique!).

DevaCurl also makes its own diffuser, which is compatible with almost any blow dryer. This diffuser is unlike any you’ve ever seen – it’s actually shaped like a hand! It gently gives your life and definition without the traditional circular, humongous diffuser. Try it and you will be shocked!

Deva also makes their “Care” line, which has completely identical products to their original DevaCurl line. DevaCare was originally created for color-treated hair, though all Deva products are sulfate-free and certainly safe for color. DevaCare also has orange peel extract in the ingredients, making it slightly more moisturizing and giving it a citrus-y fragrance. Most people really prefer one over the other, so try both DevaCurl and DevaCare (though both are intended for color) and see what you like.
