Megan Wheatly began her hairstyling journey at West College Scotland in August 2011, studying NVQ Level 2 Hairdressing. Starting as a Saturday girl at a local salon, her passion for hairdressing grew, leading her to excel in college. 

Megan said that the college not only equipped her with essential skills but also instilled the confidence to excel in the salon. Graduating at 19, Megan landed a position at the newly opened Golden Tarts salon in Marbella, where she gained invaluable experience and exposure in the media working with clientele from popular shows like TOWIE and Love Island. 

Returning to Glasgow, Megan ventured into entrepreneurship, opening a salon in Milngavie with a business partner. Over two years, she built a strong clientele and delved into the world of hair extensions. An opportunity via a connection she had made during her time in Spain led to a move to Dubai where she was able to establish a salon from scratch. What started as a single salon with seven staff six years ago has grown into a network of 11 salons with over 250 staff! 

The salon, an all owned and run British female business, has become a cornerstone in Dubai's beauty industry. Megan's role extends beyond hairstyling; she manages salon operations while maintaining a full client schedule. Six years on, she continues to thrive, proving that passion, perseverance, and a touch of entrepreneurship can create a remarkable success story!
