Episode Title: Sheri Doss… From Redken to Costa Rica to Bumble and Bumble

Hosts: Corey Gray and Katie May Guest: Sheri Doss, Education and Artistry at Bumble and Bumble

Episode Summary

Sheri Doss spent 30+ years at Redken before walking away to be near her mom in Costa Rica. She opened an 80-seat taco restaurant and thought she was done. Then Bumble and Bumble came calling.

As of February 2025, Bumble is on Salon Centric shelves for the first time ever... and Sheri is leading the education behind it. Corey and Katie May dig into what that means for every hairstylist in America.

  • Building a team around mission... not contracts or post quotas

About Sheri Doss

Sheri grew up the daughter of a struggling salon owner in Southern California. She earned her manicuring license first, then her cosmetology license, built a color clientele fast, and was recruited by Redken as an artist. She spent 30+ years educating, managing teams, and helping hairdressers build sustainable careers. She now leads Education and Artistry at Bumble and Bumble.
