Meg Bryan

More than being a makeup artist, I’m a true entrepreneur at heart. My first business started at 12 years old with a lawn care hustle, and yes, I quickly realized I could up-charge my dad once I saw what the neighbors were willing to pay. Let’s just say that drive to go out, work hard, and create my own path has never left me. At 20, I made the decision to skip college, leave Virginia Beach, and move to Charlottesville to build something of my own. Launching a beauty business in June of 2020 (mid-pandemic) in an industry that was completely shut down, wasn’t exactly the “safe” route. But I felt a strong calling to create something here, and I was all in. Now in 2026, what started as a solo leap has grown into a thriving team of seven full-time makeup artists. While I still love being on-site with our couples, my purpose has evolved into something bigger. Mentoring other artists, helping them build real careers from their passion, and creating lasting impact in the Charlottesville community through weddings, appointments, relationships with our schools, and personal makeup lessons. When I’m not working, you’ll find me at home with my two cats and a good book, or staying active to keep up with the pace of wedding days. I love attending local events here and while being lucky enough to live in wine country, I of course partake in wine country. I'm currently focused on always creating new "friendor" relationships and deepening my current ones. The CC brand this year is focusing on our growing relationship with UVA, local schools, and the community this year to spread the word about our company to become more locally known. Can't wait to connect!
