Meg has lived and worked in Palm Desert for many years and has seen and enjoyed the fabulous growth of The Coachella Valley.  Meg started her beauty salon, J Russell, The Salon in 1984 as a 6-person salon honoring her artistic director Mr. J. Russell.

Meg and her husband David closed the J. Russell Salon as of January 1, 2021, due to Covid 19 and their concerns for the safety of the customers and staff in their large environment.

Meg continues to work with her J. Russell staff as they have relocated within a few miles of the El Paseo location into smaller salons and private suites which have proven to be very comfortable for everyone.  Meg has also opened a specialty salon inside the spa at the Ritz Carlton, Rancho Mirage.

If you are looking for your former stylist, nail tech, or skincare specialist or would like a professional recommendation for your needs please call Meg at 760-861-1723. 

Meg is also an excellent wedding or event coordinator for all your beauty needs.
