Hi There!
My name is Jessica Hyde-Charkey, I go by Jess for short:)
I have been into beauty since the time I can remember. From cutting my own hair the second I could touch scrissor's! I would help give my mom and grandma perms at the age of 3! I grew up doing my friends, family, and even my own hair. I also was super into piercings and would do my own. I also had big dreams to becoming sleeved, so I got my first tattoo professionally done at the age of 17. I was in the Army National Guard starting at the age of 17 and I did that for 6 years leaving as a SGT.
I started tattooing in 2015 and at that second I knew I would absolutely LOVE doing permanent makeup. At that moment I did lots of research and found out I had to be a licensed esthetician with an extra 132 hours to become a permanent makeup artist. At this point I continued out my tattoo apprenticeship and began taking walk-ins for smaller tattoos in Greeley, Colorado. I did my apprenticeship under Sharky who also became my husband before tattooing. Sharky and I decided Greeley wasn't for us so we moved in together to Longmont, CO where my home originally resided so that I could attend IBMC for cosmetology school. During cosmetology school Sharky and I spotted out 1023 Main St and we began our dream from scratch! I sold my Honda Shadow for 1st months rent and the deposit for the shop! We spent 4 months remodeling the place and opened it on July 27th 2016.
While I was going to Cosmetology school for 15 months, I also worked at the shop on my off hours, learning how to pierce and doing admin "stuff". We hired 6 barbers that I could learn from as well. Once I graduated school in May 2017, I joined that shop as a Cosmetologist. Men's Barbering became such a thing and was so popular in the shop that I decided it was best for me to attend a Barber Crossover Program. I attended 3 months of that program at Montage Academy and became a licensed Barber in the summer of 2018. I picked up tons of clientele while doing men and women's hair, my main being Barbering. I also continued to pierce like crazy in the shop which now till this day I do a ton of and love it! Permanent Makeup was a stretch since you had to pay ahead of time and we decided to have more kiddos. Finally in August 2019 I was able to attend Permanent Makeup School in Erie, Colorado at "The Looking Glass". I LOVE my Job and I have put a ton of time and effort into what I do. I never stop advancing or taking educational classes. I have attended seminars around the world, matter of fact... Tina Davies herself did my own brows back in 2016 and they changed my life.
Let my story and my talent change yours <3
