The staff at Shear Magic located at 958 Pennsylvania Avenue in Tyrone have welcomed a new member to its team, hair stylist, Sherry Derman.
\nDerman is a native of Tyrone, and she has been cutting hair for 13 years at the Hairloft by Charles in State College. Derman decided she wanted to work some place closer to home, and so proprietor of Shear Magic, Chris Walters, offered her a position. Derman has been a new member of the staff for two weeks.
\n\u201cI was born here, and I traveled back and forth to State College for almost 15 years. I just got tired of the trip,\u201d said Derman of the reason for her decision to work in Tyrone.
\nDerman enjoys every aspect of the hair styling business. She keeps herself up-to-date on the latest trends and styles by enrolling in seminars that cover such topics as: special cutting classes, razor clippers and men\u2019s cutting classes. Her favorite is razor cutting. By working at the Hairloft by Charles, she had the opportunity to meet the famous hair stylist Graham Webb.
\nShe is grateful for the opportunity to have worked in State College but is glad to be working back home in Tyrone. Derman enjoys talking and laughing with her clients and the people with whom she works.
\n\u201cI like the interaction with people, and everybody that you meet is different from the last person,\u201d said Derman.
\nMany of her clients from the State College area are traveling to Tyrone to see Derman and to get their hair cut by her. Also, many of her friends from the Tyrone area who couldn\u2019t travel to the State College area now have the opportunity to come see her at Shear Magic.
\n\u201cI want those of you that couldn\u2019t come to State College to come see me here,\u201d she said.
\nDerman feels like she has come full circle and that she has finally returned to her roots. Ironically, the building where Shear Magic is located is where Derman spent much of her childhood. Her grandmother lived in the same building or close to it, and Derman would visit her often.
\n\u201cI did spend the first years of my life on this block,\u201d she said.
\nDerman wants to thank her husband Larrie and their two kids, Debbie and Larrie II, for all of their support over the past 15 years of her career. She feels they have helped and supported her along the way. Also, she wants to send her prayers and support to her nephew, Robert Mertiff who is currently serving in the U. S. Military.
\n\u201cI\u2019m waiting to give him a good haircut,\u201d joked Derman on Mertiff\u2019s return.
\nProprietor Chris Walters is thrilled to have Derman working at Shear Magic along with Kim Cowher who has worked there for more than two years.
\n\u201cI believe Sherry will be a great asset to the salon,\u201d said Walters. \u201cShe\u2019s a great hair stylist as well as a great person to work with.\u201d
