Meghan Kendall, Owner of Control Hair // A New Business Model to Empower Entrepreneurs in the Hair & Beauty Industry
We’ve rebranded!
This podcast used to be called ‘The Maker’s Collective Podcast’ and is now called ‘The Work Different, Live Different Podcast by The Maker’s Collective’. You’ll notice that we’ve updated the look and feel along with the name, which will appear across all of our episodes, old and new.
In this episode of the Maker’s Co Podcast you’ll meet Meg, the fierce, strong, no bull shit owner of Control Hair in Waterloo. Guys, we’re not going to lie here, this is a long one but we honestly had so much fun during the episode that when it came down to it we couldn’t cut any of it. Trust us when we say, though, it’s so worth it. Get ready for big laughs, great advice, a new take on an old industry...and a whole lot of tapping??? Turns out Meg is a pretty passionate hand talker - you’ll see what we mean once you get into it. Enjoy!
