Charlie Corsini aka Megan
Born and raised in Queens and with years of extensive training, Charlie is one of our color specialists who works primarily with low-maintenance hair color. For lived-in looks, she loves adding pops of shimmer to brunettes and tasteful natural copper reds to redheads, and brightening up blondes. As a mother of identical twin boys in their toddler phase, it’s safe to say Charlie is a master of patience—and loves talking to adults.
