About

Meraki Room opened its doors in January 2017. It was started by Diana Monteleone and Dani McLaren, along with a third co-founder who is not listed on the team page. The name comes from a Greek word that describes doing something with soul, creativity and love.

The salon lists fun, teamwork, personal growth through education and a healthy work and life balance as its core values. In its own words, it is a place where artistry and intention come together, and it describes its team as skilled and focused on education.

Color and highlight pricing depends on what is created during the appointment, and toning, glossing, extra color or treatments added on the day are included in the final price. Hair washes take place in a separate quiet room, according to client reviews quoted on the home page. Radical Change appointments, for corrective color, major brightness changes and vivid shades, are booked by phone or email, with pricing set after a consultation. A consultation is required before any extension service.

Davines is the salon's exclusive hair product line. The salon states that Davines is a certified B Corp and that the company is an independent, family-owned Italian business founded in Parma, Italy. The salon uses Keratin Complex professional smoothing products and Hairdreams extensions, and it has an online store so products can be shipped to clients.

Built around education and teamwork, with a stated focus on personal growth through ongoing training for the team.
