Meet Megz the Barber: A Passionate Journey through Hair and Style
At Bishops Chamblee, we pride ourselves on embracing individuality, creativity, and authenticity. Megz @megzthebarber, one of our talented barbers, wholeheartedly embodies these values. In an exclusive interview, Megz shared her inspiring journey into the world of hair, her discovery of Bishops, and her passion for her craft.
Megz’s hair journey began in a unique setting – as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), where she recognized a need to care for the elderly men she worked with by offering haircuts. Armed with determination and a compassionate heart, she started bringing in clippers to give weekly haircuts. However, it was during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic that Megz found her calling. A barber school, PlushKutz Barber College (@PLUSHKUTZBARBERCOLLEGE), opened its doors, providing her with an opportunity to pursue her passion on a grant.
The serendipitous discovery of Bishops came when Megz relocated from North Carolina to explore a new city. Driving by, she was immediately drawn to our vibrant atmosphere. Later, while searching for opportunities, Bishops appeared as the first result on Indeed, solidifying her decision to join our team.
What sets Bishops apart for Megz is our unwavering support for individuality. She appreciates the freedom to express herself through her appearance, a sentiment echoed in our ethos of providing a full-on experience. This alignment of values made Bishops the perfect fit for her creative spirit.
When asked about her hair hero, Megz fondly mentions her barber, Kewan Loritts, whose expertise and passion have inspired her journey. Reflecting on trends, Megz hopes to see men’s hair pieces gain more popularity, embracing diversity in style.
In the barber’s chair, Megz utilizes her favorite products to achieve stunning results. From Wella’s Rugged Texture for adding body and texture to longer hair, to Uppercut Styling Powder for a dry, natural look, and Sebastian’s Micro Fiberweb for a strong, shiny finish, Megz’s toolkit is as diverse as her clientele.
Megz’s personal style mantra is simple yet powerful: be true to yourself. This authenticity shines through in her work and interactions with clients. Dedicated and driven, Megz emphasizes the seriousness she approaches her career with, striving for excellence every step of the way.
Megz’s journey exemplifies the transformative power of following one’s passion. From humble beginnings as a CNA to becoming a skilled barber at Bishops, her story inspires us to embrace our unique paths and celebrate the beauty of individuality. We’re honored to have Megz as part of the Bishops family, where creativity knows no bounds, and every haircut tells a story.
