She expresses her excitement and nervousness as well as shares the cultural significance of cutting your hair and going natural as an African American woman. Meah sits down with hair expert and salon owner Lisa of The Cut Gallery in Brooklyn for "the big chop" and a few added extras in six steps.

Lisa is professional, explaining what each blade means & if they have any kind of hair history. If I was in the chair I would feel comfortable with Lisa doing my hair because Lisa knows her stuff. Point blank. Also loving the color! I have serious been on the fence of doing a dramatic cut myself 🤔..
