HAIR + MAKEUP
My beauty education began early in life with instructional books by the legendary Kevyn Aucoin & Bobbi Brown. I then began studying ingredients and making my own skincare and mixing my own makeup shades. Now, as part of the industry for over a decade, I've done hair and makeup on myself and other models for shoots and special occasions. I'm proficient in styling my own hair both curly and straight. I own a full professional makeup & hair kit with performance-grade, camera-ready products – so I am fully equipped to do my own hair + makeup if COVID protocols should require it. I am also Barbicide® COVID-19 Certified and Barbicide® Infection Control Certified.

ABOUT
You may have seen Megan as part of Tiana's girl squad in Fox's hit TV show Empire. A lover of dance and all things beauty-related, Megan has developed a successful career in modeling and acting over the past 10 years.
Many years before celebrated photographer Dana Scruggs ever picked up a camera, she was searching for a model for her online boutique. In an act of desperation, she asked Megan – a project manager at the time – to step in front of the lens.
Dana’s moment of desperation became Megan’s opportunity. Months later, Megan was represented by her first agent. Megan's path took an unexpected turn when she moved to Cape Town, South Africa for six months to work as a model. She came back to the states and continued working full time as a model and actor.
She is best known for her long curly hair, curvy figure and ethnically ambiguous look. Some of her clients include Nike, Glamour Magazine, Hilton, Crate & Barrel, Trunk Club, Method, Pandora, Stussy and many more. Megan has been featured in publications and TV commercials nationally and worldwide. She is currently represented by model and talent agencies across the US.
