Summary
“I love subverting an eccentric English style because I’m a black Jamaican girl, so it contrasts. I’m obsessed with the contrast” - my guest Sharmadean Reid on this amazing episode of Naked Beauty
When it comes to London’s beauty scene, Sharmadean Reid is THE ONE to watch. After having founded the iconic WAH Nails back in 2009, Reid has continuously found ways to combine Black British culture with her exceptional Central Saint Martin’s education, love of technology and community. Today, Reid has expanded her empire through Beautystack- a mobile, beauty-booking software that also allows industry professionals to expand their own networks. Tune in for an unforgettable discussion on beauty technology, growing up in Wolverhampton, her favorite beauty spots in London, microblading, and the magical power of “face creaming”!
