Who I Am..
Hello!
Hi, I’m Megan — wife, mom, entrepreneur, and hairstylist of 23+ years.
When I became a mom and business owner, everything shifted.
I felt stretched thin, always giving, constantly needed, and rarely taking time for myself. And when I did carve out time, I carried guilt for not spending every extra minute with my child. It was exhausting. I found myself burned out and quietly comparing myself to women who somehow looked polished and well-rested.
Moving to Clifton Park 3 years ago, I made a decision: this business would be different.
Looking put together and feeling confident should not feel like a chore. It shouldn’t require sacrificing an entire day in a salon chair.
There is no way I would sit in a salon for 4–6 hours to get my hair done. And if I wouldn’t do it, how could I ask that of you?
Then there’s the reality that highlighting and coloring can feel high-maintenance. When I first began specializing in balayage 15 years ago, I had no idea how much these techniques would change my life and the lives of so many busy women.
I began studying, refining, and strategically designing color in a way that looked effortless, grew out seamlessly, and worked within a real-life schedule.
From that Dwell Hair Studio was born. Dwell was built for the woman who takes care of everyone else — and still wants to feel like herself.
It’s a private, peaceful salon suite in Clifton Park designed intentionally for busy, present, professional women who value their time. Every appointment is customized around:
Your needs that present day(working, silent, mirrorless, open chat appointment)
Your lifestyle
Your budget
Your maintenance comfort level
Your desired end result
We don’t just talk about how you want your hair to look today.
We talk about how you want it to look in three months.
Because beautiful hair isn’t just about the appointment — it’s about the grow-out, longevity, and the confidence it gives you long after you leave.
Fun facts about Megan!
I’m originally from Boston (and yes… it’s still my favorite city).
I moved to Upstate New York three years ago from York, Maine — ocean girl at heart and miss it everyday!
I’m a mom to my incredible 10-year-old daughter, Greye, and a proud rescue dog mama to Teddy B.
I’ve been married to my husband, Willis, for almost 12 years (wow!) — and we’ve been together for over 16.
My favorite things? Running (with Teddy), lifting weights, watching football, hiking, skiing, swimming with my family, reading fiction, and yes… jigsaw puzzles. I’m a little bit of a geek and I fully own it.
I love to travel — but I also genuinely love being home. I’m a creature of habit who thrives on routine and structure.
My greatest strengths are discipline, honesty, creativity, spirituality, and problem-solving. I love figuring things out (sometimes a little too much.. recovering fixer over here).
Faith is both my greatest challenge and my greatest motivator. Learning to trust God in every area of my life especially the ones I want to control continues to grow me.
My favorite foods are eggs, salad, pizza, and dark chocolate.
Drinks of choice: Coffee(black), water, and Waterloo lemon-lime seltzer.
