Sheila Zaricor-Wilson is a creative, innovative person who has over 30 years of experience as a stylist, salon owner, educator, mentor and colorist. Her passion for excellence has been the driving force in her career and her dedication to the arts and commitment to continued education has been the motivation behind her involvement in the industry and the community.

It wasn't long after entering the hair business that Sheila became an educator for Redken, then a partner in six innovative salons in Memphis and California. Her achievements in haircolor soon led her to be named one of the five top hair stylists by McCall's magazine, named Clairol Haircolorist in Residence, and appointed to the Tennessee State Board of Cosmetology. She opened Master Design, Inc., a full service salon for men and women in 1987 with a team of creative, energetic stylists who had the same vision of what was needed to ensure every client of receiving the best in hair, skin and beauty services.

Her desire to educate and to have stylist further their prospects in the business led her to be one of the founding members of the International Haircolor Exchange and the American Board of Certified Haircolorists. Sheila has always felt the need to provide opportunities for people to meet, share and learn from each other, and that continues today, even in her own salon, as her employees are continually encouraged and offered opportunities for education in hair care and haircolor.

With her desire to offer a total package to the client, she developed her own line of hydrating skin care products called diVari. In 2002, she added Aesthetics by Design and offered to the clients a place to have the latest in technology used in skin care along with Botox 'parties' and a referring plastic surgeon. Master Design Salon offers not only the best in cuts, styles and fabulous haircolor, they offer classes to the clients to learn how to maintain the services they have received so that they can always feel and look their best. This is truly a salon where the masters design.
