Today we’d like to introduce you to Meaghan.
Hi Meaghan, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Meaghan McDonald, got her start at Gould’s Academy the School of Memphis, TN in 2016. She obtained an Esthetician license with honors and began her career in the beauty industry. She made waves in the eyelash extension and skincare community in 2017 when she went through a skincare journey of her own. She was invited to many pop-up shops, panel discussions, and interviews where she spoke on skincare and owning your natural enhanced beauty. During this time Meaghan launched her first business, Beauty-FAUX Wax & Lash, LLC. She did luxury eyelash extensions and provided facial services for clients all over the Mid-South region. It wasn’t until 2019 when she decided she wanted something more. Bodi By Meaghan B, now Bodi Aesthetics was established with Meaghan being the sole owner and operator.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
No, it has not always been a smooth road. This biggest struggles has been maintaining stable finances and marketing. Finances in a sense of not spending every time you get paid because you get money each client. It’s best to SAVE! Marketing can get expensive and knowing how to market to your target audiences. Another struggle has been making sure to have all backgroung paperwork in order and making sure you are saving for taxes.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I specialize in full body waxing; hair removal. I also do eyelash extensions. That is what I built my business off of. I then found a niche in waxing. I am most proud of maintaining my business through all the struggles I’ve had and thriving through covid. What sets me apart from others I believe is my attitude and customer service. I take pride in providing great customer service and being empathetic with my clients. A lot of entrepreneurs don’t encompass that these days. Your attitude is everything. I have learned, You keep your clientele because of who you are as a person.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give credit to?
My mom has been my biggest help. She is a business owner as well so she has instilled in me the dos and don’t and has guided me in the direction to become successful in entrepreneurship.
