History
What is obvious from the moment you meet Bridget McKay is that she is youthful, full of energy, stylish and excited about life. Then when she starts talking about hair and being in the salon, that energy doubles. When you learn about her high quality education and great experiences in beauty and hair design, you know she's an up and coming talent. Bridget's love for hair design began when she was a little girl. Bridget grew up watching her mom's stylist friend and was captivated watching her cut and style hair. But her fate to become a stylist became evident when she was given an adorable teddy bear, which she decided needed a hair cut--Fuzzy wasn't fuzzy anymore, but the desire to make people look beautiful was growing inside her. As the third of seven children, she began cutting and styling all her siblings hair, and finally chose this as her career.
