The shop
Boone Beauty Bar has earned its reputation as the High Country’s premier “one-stop glam shop,” thanks to Megan Joseph’s commitment to integrity, thoughtfulness, and flawless technique. The goal? To provide a safe, positive space where clients can indulge in a little self-care while embracing self-love. Megan believes that feeling good about yourself isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. After all, spreading light into the world starts with igniting the light within yourself.
One of Megan’s biggest motivations is helping clients feel confident and radiant, inside and out. For her, self-care is more than just the service—it’s about building genuine relationships, connecting with each client, and creating an experience that leaves you feeling empowered, pampered, and just a little extra fabulous.
To understand why Boone Beauty Bar exists, it helps to know a bit about Megan’s story. From teenage tanning marathons and life-altering struggles with addiction to finding sobriety, self-care, and her true passion for beauty, Megan’s journey has been full of lessons, laughs, and a few messy moments along the way. She started Boone Beauty Bar to create a space where women can feel confident, cared for, and celebrated—because everyone deserves a little glow in their life.
The Owner
​
Megan Joseph didn’t exactly grow up dreaming about running a beauty bar…unless your idea of a dream involves tanning beds, Crisco, and a lot of questionable life choices. Born in Mt. Holly, NC, Megan started her tanning obsession at 14, despite parental warnings, and spent countless summers slathered in oil while lifeguarding or just soaking up the sun. Fast-forward through years of partying, addiction, and a life-altering overdose, and Megan found herself on a path she never expected: sobriety, self-care, and a deep appreciation for her own skin—literally.
​
After rehab and a spiritual awakening, Megan started noticing her skin needed some love. What began with sunscreen and cautious tanning turned into a fascination with beauty that made her want to share the glow with others. By October 2015, she was jotting down ideas for a sunless tanning business in her phone—and a few years, two kids, and several business plans later, Boone Beauty Bar was born.
​
Starting out as a mobile spray tan artist while balancing a full-time job as a case management social worker, Megan quickly realized she could make her dream happen. Life as a single mom of twin girls meant long days, messy schedules, and a lot of coffee, but her hustle paid off. In 2020, she opened Boone Beauty Bar’s current location, a space built on expertise, warmth, and a little bit of sass. Today, Megan offers lashes, brows, gentle waxing, airbrush tanning, and permanent cosmetics—all with a personal, fun touch.
​
Megan is a licensed esthetician in North Carolina and Texas, certified in Lash Extensions, Lash Lifting + Tinting, Permanent Eyeliner, Permanent Lip Blushing, Microblading, Powder & Ombre Brows, and Airbrush Spray Tanning. She’s also a Dermalogica Professional and holds a tattooing permit from the North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services.
When she’s not making clients glow, Megan is wrangling her twin girls, Frenchie Starla (the official BBB greeter), and her cat, Brown Kitty. Life is busy, messy, hilarious, and full of love—and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Megan loves helping women feel confident, radiant, and just a little extra fabulous, proving that self-care can be fun, transformational, and totally achievable—even on single-mom mode.
