That space is Citrine Hair & Skin, and this week, I'm sitting down with one of the minds behind it all: Meghann DeWees!</p> <p data-start="554" data-end="1114">In this conversation, Meghann walks us through her journey into the world of hair, skin, and entrepreneurship. From breaking early industry misconceptions and even experimenting with makeup FX work in LA, to building a deeply supportive client community and opening Citrine in the middle of the pandemic. She talks candidly about surviving toxic hustle and grind culture, the realities of running a business, navigating motherhood alongside entrepreneurship, and the emotional responsibility that comes with helping people feel confident, comfortable, and seen.</p> <p data-start="1116" data-end="1329">We also dive into her passion for extensions and hair loss solutions, the value of shared positive energy between stylist and client, and the evolving chapters of a creative career that refuses to stay in one box.</p> <p data-start="1331" data-end="1593">Whether you work in cosmetology, are curious about salon life, or are building something of your own, this episode feels a little like a masterclass. Full of honest stories, grounded advice, and a reminder that success doesn't have to come at the cost of yourself!</p> <p data-start="1331" data-end="1593"><strong>----THIS EPISODE IS PARTNERED WITH:</strong></p> <p class="p1"><a href="https://promowestlive.com/">PromoWest Productions - @promowestlive</a></p> <p class="p1">For all upcoming shows & event info of who's coming through Columbus, OH, visit <a href= "http://promowestlive.com/"><span class= "s1">promowestlive.com</span></a><span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> or to purchase tickets directly, visit <a href="http://axs.com/"><span class= "s1">AXS.com</span></a></p> <p class="p1"><strong>Makers Social - @makers.social</strong></p> <p class="p1">Maker's Social is a DIY Project Bar located in the Franklinton Arts District of Columbus, OH!
