Meg – Owner & Master Stylist
Meg was born and raised in Nanaimo and has proudly called it home her entire life. She began her journey in hairstyling in 2001 through the Hairdressing program at VIU (then Malaspina), initially hoping to gain confidence in connecting with others. What started as a personal challenge quickly turned into a passion, and just five years later, Meg co-founded Serenity Salon with her twin sister, Jessie. Today, Meg is the sole owner of the salon and continues to lead it with creativity, care, and a deep connection to her community.
With over two decades of experience, Meg is known for her expertise in short, textured cuts and loves helping clients make bold changes. Her approachable nature and eye for detail have made her a trusted stylist for those seeking something fresh and transformative.
Outside the salon, Meg lives a vibrant, nature-filled life. She enjoys gardening, caring for her bees, and swimming in the ocean year-round. She’s also a former artistic swimming coach and lifelong lover of the water. At home, Meg shares her days with her husband Dave, a photographer, their son Diego, and a lively crew of animals—including chickens, geese, two cats, and a dog.

Becca – Senior Stylist
Becca has been in the hair industry for seven years, spending her entire career with the Serenity team.

Megan – Senior Stylist
Megan has been in the hair industry for five and a half years, with the last four spent as a member of the Serenity Salon team. Born and raised in Nanaimo, she recently returned after a brief move to Ladysmith and is now building a new home with her boyfriend, Griffin. Together, they share their life with two adorable dogs, Jersey and Scottie.
Megan grew up as a dancer, which sparked her early love for hair, fashion, and makeup. That creative foundation truly came to life when she began hair school, where she quickly fell in love with the artistry of hairstyling—and the rewarding feeling of helping people look and feel their best.
Megan thrives in blonding services and long haircuts, and she loves creating bright, seamless, and low-maintenance looks for her clients. Her sweet, bubbly personality makes every appointment feel fun and relaxed. She’s known for being both warm and efficient—quick behind the chair for those on the go clients. Clients love how she listens closely, understands their hair goals, and brings their vision to life with creativity and care.
When she's not in the salon, Megan loves slowing down and recharging—usually with a cozy nap and time spent with her dogs and family.
