Why Your Hair Deserves a Nervous System-Friendly Salon

Most clients say that Sunny Bunny doesn’t feel like your typical salon—and that’s completely intentional.

The first two salons I worked at were huge. I’m talking 5–8 stylists working side by side, blow dryers blasting, and multiple conversations flying at once. It was sensory overload. I had such a hard time hearing people (and for some reason, when I can’t hear, I talk louder—like, a lot louder). Chalk it up to growing up in a loud family... it’s a thing.

By the time I landed on Newbury Street, they tucked me in a quiet corner by myself (cue the Dirty Dancing reference—“Nobody puts Baby in a corner,” except… they did). But honestly? That’s when everything shifted.

That corner became Meghan’s confessional. I started keeping a box of tissues at my station because clients felt safe enough to open up, vent, cry, process. I was honored to hold space like that for them, and I realized: this is the kind of connection I want to build my salon around.

So when I opened Sunny Bunny, I knew exactly what I didn’t want:

❌ Loud pop music

❌ A massive team

❌ A high-stimulation environment that made people feel more frazzled than when they walked in

In fact, I worked solo for more than half the time I’ve been in business—intentionally. I knew that whenever I brought a team on, it had to be in a completely different way.

So we built Sunny Bunny to support more than just aesthetics. From sage and oracle decks to essential oils, Reiki-infused services, and hot towels—we’ve created a calm, nervous system-friendly space that invites you to exhale.

We call it hair therapy, because it’s not just about hair. It’s about being seen, heard, and cared for. It’s about treating each client as a whole person, not just a head of hair. And when your nervous system feels safe and supported? That’s when the magic happens—on the inside and out.

You’ll enjoy your appointment, feel like yourself, and walk out with great hair. Simple as that. 💛
