Megan Robertson Owner/Educator/Color Specialist: After attending the Aveda Institute Denver and falling in love with color, Megan relocated to Miami and once again to Atlanta with an invitation to train with the nation’s top colorists at Van Michael Salons. With a degree in dance from the University of Arizona, Megan became Van Michaels' show choreographer and was involved in many hair shows including Aveda Congress in 2008 and a small show with the great Robert Lobetta. Training under the creative director of color and being surrounded by so many nationally known platform artists, turned Megan into the stylist that she is today. Missing beautiful Colorado and her family, Megan decided to move back home and venture into opening her own salon alongside her mother, Jolene. Continuing education has always been something that has kept her inspired in this industry. She is the color educator for the team and loves the experience.
