Meg Conkling sees curly hair as a form of individual expression. That’s why she wants to help teach her clients how to care for and embrace their hair. A visit to her studio involves more than just showing her a style you want to recreate. She gives each client the personalized attention needed to figure out what their hair needs and what they want. It’s an exercise in self-reflection and connecti

I remember being in middle school, walking out of the cafeteria, when I saw Sabrina Negron run past me crying hysterically.

And then I learned why.

It was everywhere. The news. The televisions. The conversations. The fear. It felt like the entire world just… stood still.

Now, as an adult, I’ll see old footage from that day and it brings me right back. We didn’t have cell phones in our hands. People were trying to call home, trying to find their families, waiting for someone to answer. So many people went to work that morning and simply never came home.

And there are still people here today who can tell the story of exactly what they saw, what they survived and who they lost.

Being from the Northeast, New York was never some faraway place to me. This felt incredibly close to home. It changed us.

But one thing I will never forget is what happened afterward.

New Yorkers came together in a way that I wish the whole country (and honestly, the whole world) could have seen. People took care of each other. Strangers helped strangers. There was so much love, respect and camaraderie during one of the most horrific times imaginable.

I wish we could find some of that again.

Not the tragedy. Not the fear.

The way we loved each other afterward.

Twenty-five years later, I hope we never become so removed from that day that we forget what happened here in our country, the lives that were lost, the people who survived, and the families who still carry it with them.

And I hope we remember how much better we are when we take care of one another, no matter where we’re from, what we believe, or who we are.

9•11. We will always remember. 🤍

Your curls need customized products for this Florida humidity

Stop taking short cuts and thinking you’ve got it covered by re-wetting every morning.

That’s TOO MUCH ENERGY to get you through the week.

Your curls were never something you were supposed to magically know how to manage. They’re something you learn, with time, curiosity, a few wrong turns, and the right education. Your hair isn’t failing you. It’s communicating with you. 🌿✨

Florida is a huge stress factor on your hair, and if you’re new to the area, this is where I definitely educate you.

Maybe you’re here temporarily because you’ve been stationed in Florida. Maybe you moved down from New York, the West Coast, or somewhere your curls behaved completely differently. Then suddenly you get here and you’re thinking, what the hell happened to my hair?😅

Your hair lives where you live. Florida brings a completely different combination of water, humidity, sun, swimming, sweat and lifestyle, and I can help you identify what is actually built up on your hair, including things your generic clarifying shampoo may not be capable of removing.

So let’s give your curls a fresh start.

When you visit my website, you’ll first fill out my digital consultation form. From the jump, I’m already getting to know you, your hair history, your concerns and what you’re trying to achieve.From there, you’ll select the service that best matches your hair’s characteristics and the amount of time we’ll need together.

And then boom. ✨ You’re in.

Not just for a haircut, but for an experience where we can actually look at the information your hair is giving us, figure out what’s going on, and teach you how to care for the curls you have in the environment you actually live in.

Welcome to Florida. Let’s introduce your curls, too.🌴➰

Not every curl needs water.
Sometimes it needs a little jewelry.

Alt Glamour Curly Hair Transformation

I worked with a client who has gorgeous thick hair to create an editorial, high-fashion look with dramatic curls. We discuss how I strategically removed bulk while opening up her face, creating movement, and building shape without making the cut look choppy or disconnected.

😍The result is a stunning alt glamour transformation that exceeded her expectations.
