Meg Evangelisti

I’ve never been a big new years resolution girl, as I don’t think you need a new year to create a new habit or set a new goal, BUT last year I decided to hop on board with a trend I first saw via my cute friend @chrissy_cam . The idea is to choose a word of intention to carry with you into the new year. A simple, succinct way of keeping yourself focused on those intentions when the chaos of life gets a little too loud. . . My word for 2020 was BRAVE. I didn’t know at the t...ime how truly fitting this word would come to be for all that unfolded. So many days of this year felt like a storm, and while I’m proud that I was brave in weathering that, I realized that braving looks much different from the outside than it feels when you’re going through it. This year brought so much uncertainty and with that, a tremendous amount of anxiety. Living in the present moment became unimaginably hard and I was in a constant state of worry about what was coming next, and how I could control, prepare and fix it. I’m a perfectionist to my core and am forever working to unlearn those tendencies. . . . While I know that 2021 will not come without its challenges, I am entering this year with the word GROUNDED. No matter what storms pour over into the new year, I will let this moment be what it is, be present and honor it. I will let go of what I cannot control and continue to act in integrity for the things I can. I don’t want this year to just be survived but truly lived and enjoyed, because joy doesn’t have to stop just because it’s raining out. . . . If you picked a word of intention for this year and are comfortable sharing, I’d love to hear it! I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday. I’m feeling so hopeful for what lies ahead! . . . #momentsandmanes #sacramentostylist #rosevillestylist #rosevillehair #rocklinhair #rocklinstylist #sacstylist #hairgoals #sacramentohair #balayage #behindthechair #balayageombre #maneinterest#grounded#intentionalliving#2021goals#newyearintentions

Of all the things I’ll be leaving in 2020, this one is definitely the most exciting! Saying bye bye to Hairbymeganevang and hello to @momentsandmanes ! This page will continue to showcase beautiful hair, but also moments spent with my clients and noteworthy moments in my own life. Along with this new name will come a new website (link in bio) as well as adjusted pricing starting January 1st, also listed on my website under services. . . . This year it became clear that it ...was time to choose a new name that would better reflect the brand that I have created over the last several years. As I reflected on what I love most about this profession, I realized that, while my passion for artistry is undeniable, I cherish the MOMENTS I share with my clients more than anything. I am so proud to say that I have truly been able to cultivate lasting friendships with my clients that go far beyond a comb and a brush. . . . You may think you’re just booking an appointment to get prepped for a first date, a job interview, your baby shower or even your wedding day, but from where I stand, I get to help you feel your best before you fall in love, land your dream job, start a family or marry your soulmate. . . . My clients have helped me become the woman I am today, and while it may seem insignificant, the moments I spend with each of you mean even more to me than the manes you allow me to paint! I look forward to creating more beautiful manes while gathering significant moments along the way! So now we’re going full speed ahead with @momentsandmanes in the driver’s seat, but you can just call me Meg ps: if you have any questions regarding pricing or appointments please feel free to reach out via the contact tab on my website! . . . #momentsandmanes #sacramentostylist #rosevillestylist #rosevillehair #rocklinhair #rocklinstylist #sacstylist #916hair #hairgoals #sacramentohair #balayage #behindthechair #balayageombre#rebranding#mindfulness#girlboss#womeninbusiness#newyear

The inevitability of a third closure has been looming for some time now. I’ve made a concerted effort to not worry and speculate about it but instead just enjoy the time I had with my clients. . . . I know everyone has an opinion on how this is being handled. I work in an industry where I see people of all ages, backgrounds, political views and values. Many of them are people that I have grown to truly love and respect, and I can respect that our unique experiences have shape...d our views on the world. So even when I disagree, I do my best to lead with empathy and kindness, as I truly believe that is the only way we will ever be able to find our way back to each other again. In frustration, reaching for negative and dehumanizing rhetoric toward those who don’t see the world the way we do won’t get us anywhere. . . . That being said, it is now time to shut my doors for the third time this year. It saddens me that I won’t be able to enjoy the holiday season with my clients, as it is a time that holds such a special place in my heart. To my clients, your kindness and love has truly carried my spirit through this year and now more than ever, your loyalty continues to make these sacrifices feel less heavy. I am handling this with as much grace as I know how, and supporting my clients as best I can through it. If you have an appointment booked, you’ll be hearing from me soon. I’ll be taking this on a week by week basis and going from there. Thank you in advance for your patience! If you’d like to support my business through this holiday season and beyond, I will still be selling Kevin Murphy retail products for porch drop offs. If you have any questions please feel free to text me! I cannot wait to see you gals in my chair in 2021! . . . #hairbymeganevang #sacramentostylist #rosevillestylist #rosevillehair #rocklinhair #rocklinstylist #sacstylist #916hair #hairgoals #sacramentohair #balayage #behindthechair #balayageombre #maneinterest #bekind

The mask says it all. As we head into a week that is sure to be heavy both politically and socially, here’s a reminder to just be kind to each other. Even when you disagree, even when it doesn’t come easy, just be kind . . . #hairbymeganevang #sacramentostylist #rosevillestylist #rosevillehair #rocklinhair #rocklinstylist #sacstylist #916hair #hairgoals #sacramentohair #balayage #behindthechair #balayageombre #maneinterest #blondehair#brightblonde#bekind#kindness#positivity#positiveenergy#benice

I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a 7.5 hour color correction as much as this one. . . . This girl is so smart, hilarious and understanding of the process. She had been retouching her red at home every few weeks for YEARS but as law school came to a close for her, it was time to switch up her hair as she forges her path as a boss @$$ lawyer! ... . . . I’m so thankful for the trust she put in me for such a big change, and so happy with what we were able to achieve in one session! . . . #hairbymeganevang #sacramentostylist #rosevillestylist #rosevillehair #rocklinhair #rocklinstylist #sacstylist #916hair #hairgoals #sacramentohair #balayage #behindthechair #balayageombre #maneinterest#redhair#redtonlonde#colorcorrection#hairtransformation See more
