Haircut Specialist

Megan Tangerman

Megan Tangerman is Shade Studio's cutting specialist. She came to the studio from Manhattan and built her book here from nothing, which is what happens when the cutting is good.

Megan is the cutting specialist at Shade Studio. She came to us from Manhattan and built her book here from zero, which is not a thing that happens on charm alone. Clients come back for the cut.

Her work is precision shaping: cuts built around your texture and how your hair actually behaves, rather than a length applied to everyone. She starts dry, looking at how your hair falls before anything is washed, because wet hair lies about both texture and length.

If you have been carrying a shape that never quite sat right, or you are growing something out and it has stopped making sense, that is exactly the conversation to bring her.

Went in for a haircut and blowout with Meghan. I was so so pleased and enjoyed the experience so much. Atmosphere is so cool and still so relaxing. Definitely recommend and plan to come back again!

Book with Megan

Your first visit with Megan

Megan starts dry. Before anything is washed she wants to see how your hair actually falls, where it splits, where it kicks out, how it grows. Wet hair lies about texture and lies about length, and a cut planned on wet hair is a cut that surprises you.

Come with your hair the way it normally is, not straightened for the appointment. If you are growing something out or carrying a shape that never sat right, say so at the start.

Booking with Megan

Should I wash my hair before a cut?

Come with it clean but styled the way you normally wear it, not straightened specially. She needs to see the truth.

How often should I book a trim with Megan?

Most clients are every eight to twelve weeks. Shorter shapes sooner, because the shape is the whole service.

Does she cut curly and textured hair?

Yes. Mention it when you book so the time is planned properly.
