From Michigan to Miami: Meagan’s Inspiring Hairstylist Journey
Welcome to the very first blog post of GRLTalk! I am thrilled to kick off our series by sharing the inspiring journey of Meagan, an aspiring hairstylist who has made significant strides in her career. Meagan spent a year and a half with us at Ninette Hair Studio in Miami, honing her skills and learning the art of guest handling under my guidance. Recently, she decided to embark on a new adventure in Austin, Texas. Here’s a glimpse into her story, passions, and the exciting path ahead.
A Passion for Hairstyling
Growing up, Meagan was always immersed in sports and fitness. Her interest in beauty remained a personal pursuit until high school, where she started dabbling in hairstyling. However, it wasn’t until the COVID-19 pandemic that Meagan truly dived into the world of hairstyling. She spent countless hours watching YouTube videos, fascinated by the various techniques and the satisfaction of creating beautiful hairstyles. This newfound passion led her to meet her hairstylist in Michigan, a Blonding Specialist who inspired Meagan to consider hairstyling as a viable career.
The Big Move: Michigan to Miami
Meagan’s journey took a significant turn when she decided to move from her small hometown in Michigan to the vibrant city of Miami. The move was partly influenced by her sister, who had relocated to Miami a few months earlier. The warm climate and the bustling beauty industry in Miami presented an opportunity Meagan couldn’t pass up. Despite the cultural shock, the move brought out a more outgoing and bubbly side of Meagan, a stark contrast to her shy and anxious demeanor back home.
Building a Career in Miami
In Miami, Meagan joined Ninette Hair Studio, where she received extensive training and coaching from me. This period was crucial for Meagan as she began to build her client base and develop her skills. Meagan's dedication to marketing herself, even exploring unconventional platforms like Reddit, helped her gain traction and start establishing a presence in the hairstyling community. The supportive environment at Ninette Hair Studio, where authenticity and empowerment were encouraged, played a significant role in her growth.
The Decision to Move to Austin
After a successful stint in Miami, Meagan decided to move to Austin, Texas. This decision was influenced by her boyfriend, who was attending grad school in Austin, and her own experiences visiting the city. Austin’s welcoming atmosphere, outdoor activities, and vibrant music scene made it feel like home. While leaving her clients and friends in Miami was challenging, Meagan believed it was the right move for her long-term happiness and career growth.
Lessons Learned and Future Plans
Meagan attributes much of her growth to the supportive and empowering environment at Ninette Hair Studio. The friendships she formed and the confidence she gained were instrumental in her development as a hairstylist. Moving forward, Meagan hopes to carry these lessons with her and be a source of support and inspiration for others in Austin. She plans to continue learning and staying up-to-date with the latest trends to provide the best possible service to her future clients.
A Message to Future Clients
To her future clients in Austin, Meagan promises dedication, continuous learning, and a commitment to excellence. She aims to provide a well-rounded experience, focusing not only on delivering great results but also on maintaining the integrity of her clients' hair. Meagan's goal is to build trust and satisfaction with every client she works with.
A Personal Farewell
On a personal note, I want to share a heartfelt farewell to Meagan, expressing my gratitude for her hard work, positive energy, and willingness to help out. Reflecting on the personal growth both she and I experienced during our time together brings me immense joy. I wish Meagan all the best in her future endeavors.
