Barbara Ghaleb
Hi, I’m Barbara! I recently moved to beautiful Conway from New Jersey, and I’m excited to bring over 32 years of hairstyling experience to my new community. I truly love all things hair — from precision cuts, including specializing in curly hair and dimensional color to highlighting and smoothing treatments like keratin. What I enjoy most about my work is getting to know my clients on a personal level. I believe the salon should feel like a welcoming space, and my goal is always to help you feel heard, pampered, special, and absolutely beautiful when you leave my chair. When I’m not behind the chair, you can usually find me reading a good book, taking peaceful walks with my dog, or enjoying the sunshine at the beach. I can’t wait to meet you and help you fall in love with your hair!
Meghan Kenny
I bring a unique blend of creativity, discipline, and business expertise to my work behind the chair. I graduated from Northeastern University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, concentrating in Marketing, where I also competed as a Division I student-athlete on a full athletic scholarship and participated in the NCAA Tournament. My journey into the beauty industry began in California at Paul Mitchell The Academy in Costa Mesa, where I discovered my passion for hair and artistry. I continued building my skills in San Diego before returning to New York, where I had the opportunity to work at the renowned Beth Minardi Salon on Madison Avenue. There, I refined my techniques and developed a polished, detail-oriented approach to color and styling. I later brought my experience to Myrtle Beach, SC, where I continue to grow and evolve as a stylist. I love what I do because it allows me to be both social and artistic—connecting with people while creating looks that help them feel confident and beautiful. Outside of the salon, I spend most of my time with my two children, Kennedy and Cooper, and my dog, David Bowie. I also enjoy being outdoors and exploring anything imaginative and creative.
