What are we doing here ?
Whatever you need. Maybe not “whatever” but close.
Haircuts, hair color, waxing, facials, quick in and outs and long luxurious appointments. Therapy of all sorts. Vanity, peacefulness, a listening ear, a suggestive friend telling you thing things you haven’t thought of, of the things you don’t want to admit to yourself or hear. A cup of coffee, even a glass of wine. The answers to the questions, “Where do I go for…, who do I call? Do you know anyone?” Over the years, and many clients, we have heard it all and we are happy to help, or to refer you to someone who can.
Hi, I’m Crystal and I own Meraki Hair & Body
I believe I can help everyone someway, somehow. I wanted to be in advertising and design and major in graphic design and layout. (I do most of our content creation like this website and our socials) However, I also loved hair, so I choose hair first ! (I never went to art school, maybe someday!) In 2001 I started working at my first salon in Buffalo New York. In 2009 I moved to Las Vegas, and in 2017 I had my first sign on a building here with Meraki.
I am Wella trained from the beginning and have listened, watched, and learned from every single stylist, artist, business owner, and human I’ve ever met. I will make mistakes, I am a risk taker, but I believe that this is how we grow.
Let’s do it together. I have so much I want to do and I can’t do it all alone. The hamster wheel in my head has ideas nonstop, I need a team to help me execute and thats what Meraki is all about. Hair & Body is my passion but there may be other “Meraki “somethings“ in the future… events, photography, education, coaching…
A modern approach to the business of beauty & people.
It’s not just about doing good hair anymore. It’s about doing great hair, taking a great picture, in the best lighting, posting it in the right places, and so much more. It’s about being new. It’s about being what your client needs and doesn’t know it yet.
Ring lights and iPhones and Instagram gave us a whole new way to do hair and build our businesses, to communicate with our clients and potential clients. It’s amazing ! It can also be impersonal, fake, unattainable, and intimidating. We only post the best online. We show the world the perfection. We are still real people. We are as much in the business of people as we are hair. We want to connect with you, listen to you, give you hair you love, and a feeling of confidence. The consultation is the time to really get personal about your wants and realities when it comes to your look. A great picture is easy when there’s great hair and skin behind it. Lets filter less, and love the way we look and live and feel, in person.
Then take a selfie and show the world how fabulous you are !
