FROM THE FOUNDER
Meraki means "to do something with soul, creativity, and love."
"Why did I start Meraki?"
A question that resonates deeply. A decade-long journey as a hairstylist traverses myriad salon landscapes. My voyage began within a commission-based salon, where survival remained a challenge as 70% of my earnings were relinquished to the proprietor. An interval as an hourly-paid assistant followed, with compensation seldom surpassing $15 per hour. It was in this milieu that I confronted harassment and an eventual departure, steering me toward non-hair-related employ until weekend salon suite leasing was feasible. The shift to full-time salon suite occupancy kindled rapid growth, yet the absence of ambiance and camaraderie hindered my creativity. Lobby-less and disconnected from fellow tenants, I sensed a void in both inspiration and community. In response, I founded Meraki.
Empowering women constitutes my second passion. Meraki embodies this by fostering an environment where women embrace security and empowerment. Our aim for the future includes a model that offers hairstylists the opportunity to grow in the company, paving the way for sustained financial stability. (In countless scenarios, hairstylists endure two to three decades of standing, taxing their bodies, only to encounter retirement uncertainty.) The aim is to furnish financial education, fostering loyalty and pride among tenants, engendering a lasting alliance with our space.
Meraki represents a nexus where passion, sustainability, empowerment, and creativity intertwine, transcending traditional salon paradigms. Welcome to a haven that redefines what a salon can be.
Let's do things the Meraki way.
