Sharon J. Bullock is a Wardrobe Consultant,
Make up Artist and Color Analyst.
Born in Gainesville, Georgia, from her early teen
years, she has always loved the beauty and
fashion industry, and dreamed of becoming a
model. Although after high school, she was
accepted in the Barbizon School of Modeling,
she decided to follow in the footsteps of
her classmates, and attend a four year
college, instead. She attended Morris Brown
College in Atlanta, and then later
transferred to Morgan State University, in
Baltimore, where she received her BS degree
in Mental Health in 1976. She worked in this
field for three years before discovering her
need to be connected back with the beauty
and fashion industry. She decided, “If I
can’t be a model, then I want to always look
like one!”
She began her new career in the hair care
industry in 1979, in sales and management,
for companies such as, M&M Products, Soft
Sheen Products, and FML Manufactures Brokers
for over fifteen years. She held such
positions as, Account Manager, Assistant and
District Sales Manager, and National and
Regional Merchandising Manager,
respectively.
After receiving her make up license through
Von Lee in Baltimore, she studied to become
a certified Color Analyst, as well. She
started her own private label cosmetics
line, “Make Me Over” in 1983, and began her
part time business as an Image Consultant.
She also free lanced as a make-up artist for
companies such as, Fashion Fair, Elizabeth
Arden, Lancôme, and Shiseido.
In 1992, after returning from a brief stay
in New York, her career ended in the hair
care industry, and she would go in another
direction. She explored the communications
field, where she spent fourteen years in
customer service, and as a Service Manager
for Verizon. Though this was only supposed
to be a temporary move, it would prepare her
for an even greater journey down the road.
Through her travels, one of the airlines
lost her luggage, with all her favorite
costume jewelry. Devastated, she decided to
start making her own, to replace them. Still
with an entrepreneurial spirit, she began
making jewelry, and selling it on a
part-time basis. This was supposed to be a
stepping stone into another business
venture, a full service day spa, with a
boutique inside. However, little did she
know, her true passion was about to surface
again. In 2002, she launched Metamorphosis
Jewelry Designs, selling women's costume
jewelry and accessories. She would always
receive compliments on her total look, so
she later added hats and apparel. She stop
making, and began buying her wares from
various designers, and sold them at trade
shows, special events, home parties, and to
her one on one clients. Her customers loved
her selections, and began to encourage her
to take her business to another level. She
kept hitting brick walls with the day spa
idea, then realized, her true passion was
fashion! Since being that teenager, who
loved to day dream about clothes, and being
a model, she began to admit, the day
dreaming never really stopped!
Putting it all into perspective she decided to answer her
calling, and follow her dream. In the fall of 2007, she
launched her first of many (chain) stores, called Metamorphosis
Wardrobe & Accessories Boutique, in the heart of downtown
Silver Spring, MD, (in the Whole Foods shopping center). Her
boutique carries apparel, hats, jewelry, handbags, belts, scarves,
and everything you need to expand your wardrobe into multiple
selections. Her slogan, "If it's not unique, we don't carry
it!" will be proven over and over again, as customers experience
a Metamorphosizing transformation. She will also offer wardrobe
consultations, personal shopping, and makeovers, in her VIP lounge,
on the mezzanine level above her store, for that special touch. Yes,
she finally discovered, “Fashion IS her Passion”!
Sharon is also Vice President of

Network, Circle of Champions, and TPCBC and
