Two months ago my hair was well below my shoulders and relatively blonde. I had never colored it before. One day, while downtown, I decided to check out Alter Ego for a brow wax and maybe a consultation. I was introduced to Meghann Holland who greeted me with sincerity and professionalism. I was curious about a drastic cut and color, I told her. She made room in her schedule to consult me after the brow wax.
I decided to go for it: a chin length, textured cut and a nearly chocolate color. Upon arriving for my cut and color (about a week after the initial consultation), I unloaded about five different pictures on Meghann. Each was a different beast entirely, but I wanted some sort of hybrid haircut. Meghann listened intently, worked with me on what it would take to execute the ideal cut, and even taped the pictures up at her work station for reference. She knew I was nervous about both the cut and the color. But she has a special, exceptional quality lacking in most stylists. She truly works to bridge the gap between her client's ideal style and her own interpretation of pictures or vague descriptions.
Meghann worked with precision, patience, and creativity. The end result was exactly what I was looking for. Not a day went by since that first cut without compliments, from those who know me or complete strangers.
The cut grew out and it was time for a trim and color. I, of course, went back to Meghann. This time I wanted to go for a darker brown, and to shorten the cut in the back and bang areas. No pictures needed, I explained what I was going for and she nailed it. I probably received 10 or more compliments from strangers today. Such as: ""I love your hair! Who does it?"", ""That is a gorgeous haircut!"", and the like. I have never enjoyed a haircut more than these two. Meghann puts soul into her work. I even sent my mom to Meghann!
