ABOUT MONIQUE - OWNER OF MEG SALON BOUTIQUE
My decision to become a hairdresser was made in 1991, when I helped my sister get ready
for the Marine Corps ball. No detail left untouched, after the last hair was tucked and
sprayed, the look on her face and the pep in her step was all it took for me to know
that hairdressing was what I wanted to do.
I made my sister’s day. Or evening. Or night. Or all of the above. I was a day-maker.
To this day, seeing someone’s face light up after a fresh haircut or a complete
transformation still makes me feel the same way it did in November of 1991. I’m still a
day-maker.
Over the course of my twenty six year hairdressing journey, I have had so many wonderful
experiences. Experiences that have really helped mold who I am as a hairdresser and has
allowed me to really understand the power of being a day-maker. I stood on the sidelines
of Kansas City Chiefs games at Arrowhead stadium - being one of the few who was
entrusted to take care of the cheerleaders on game days and beyond. I have driven a few
hundred miles to grasp as much color education as I could find to add to my tool box. I
have flown to Vegas to congregate with 5,000 other hairdressers so we could learn, share
stories and dance. I’ve learned to be a servant leader and help other hairdressers build
their dreams. Continuing to learn, build and grow as a hairdresser and a leader has
brought me to where I am today. I am beyond grateful that I get to take all of the
wisdom and knowledge I’ve gained to continue to help people put that pep in their step
by creating beautiful looks for them; and be a day-maker.
When I am not behind the chair, my husband and me of twenty three years enjoy playing
league tennis, volunteering with Husky Haven of Florida and taking care of our four
Siberian Husky baby doggies: Zeppelin, Riley, Bear and Chloe.
