Sharmele began educating in 1992, when she became an Instructor at La Newton Cosmetology School in Dorchester, MA at the School she attended and graduated from to obtain her Cosmetology License.
Over her career years, she has educated for and with many organizations, such as Designer's Touch (in the 90's), Pantene Pro-V, Design Essentials and Basic Hair Care Products. As she began her studies in Trichology , Hair Loss, Hair restoration and Hair Replacement, she became certified with three agencies in this area and realized there was not enough information being given in these classes. She began to do her own research, and decided to educate Licensed Cosmetology and Barber Professionals with as much information as she could to make sure they knew and understood everything possible about the Who, What, Why & How's of Hair loss, Hair Restoration and Hair Replacement.
