Shear Precision, owned by Alma Jackson, is celebrating 20 year’s of being on the cutting edge of style, even though that style may have changed tremendously since Shear Precision‘s inception. From spiked styles with bleached tips in the 1990s and other fads to current styles and trends, Jackson still enjoys cosmetology and owning her own business. Jackson knew she wanted to be a cosmetologist at a very early age, and didn’t need to look farther than her own home to “start” her career as a beautician.
“When you come from a large family such as I did, we never went to the beauty salon: we had to cut each other’s hair.” Jackson described. Coincidentally, two of her sisters are also cosmetologists.
While 20 years is a very respectable milestone for a business, Jackson has worked hard to experience success. Shear Precision has moved twice in the past 20 years, having started on South Main Street and relocating to Bennett Drive at two separate locations. Currently residing at 159 Bennett Drive, Jackson is still offering a variety of cuts, colors and styles that range from classic cuts that never go out of style to the latest fads and hues.
“My job is never the same from day to day,” she said. “I love it and am very fortunate and thankful that I’ve had patronage for the past 20 years. My customers are all great people and I appreciate every one of them.”
For Jackson, it doesn’t seem like 20 years have passed.
“My favorite thing about owning a business and being a cosmetologist is working with the public and being with people every day,” she said. “I love my job.”
