Meet Melissa Eppers of Rogue Hair Studio in Marietta

Today we’d like to introduce you to Melissa Eppers.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Melissa. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I started doing hair 16 years ago and very quickly realized I needed to work for myself so after just three years in I began as a booth renter. So, 13 years of being self-employed. I opened a large location in Woodstock, debt-free in 2011 when I was just 29. After over four years in that location I sold it in 2015 and moved to a luxury, private studio in Marietta. I have an amazing, long time clientele and I also, work as a social media influencer and content creator for several companies. I am also sponsored by leading hair companies and get the opportunity to travel and do platform artist work for them.

Has it been a smooth road?
I think my biggest struggle has always been to figure out where I belong in my industry. Since I am not traditional hairstylist and more of an artist. I had to change my mindset and create my own space. And if something isn’t working to not be afraid to change it.

We’d love to hear more about your business.
I think I have a true artist’s perspective and I actually care about people and the work I do.

Is our city a good place to do what you do?
Yes, I think it is a great place. If you have the drive and motivation, you can definitely succeed.
