We had the good fortune of connecting with Megan Schnell and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Megan, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Being passionate and humble. You should always be eager to learn and know that once you feel you’ve learned it all you’re already behind.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My career started with a three and a half year training program where I assisted extremely talented hairdressers. There was no room for error. They built their business on word of mouth and working long, grueling hours. During my years assisting, the hustle mantra was everywhere and being burnt out just seemed normal. My twenties were spent working my ass off which helped mold the stylist I am today.

Once I started my own business the industry took a modernized turn. Social media was blowing up and you could build a clientele by posting your portfolio. I specialize in hair extension services, cutting, styling and bridal hair.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Dinner at Bevettes. Drinks at a west loop rooftop
Taking a water taxi to china town.
A long divy bike ride by the lake.
Brunch at RH.
