Hair Expression at Royal Oak Your hair is a reflection of your creative spirit. Whatever your jam is, your hair should be able to reflect it. Hair is not an afterthought, but rather as important an expression of your personality as what you wear, or what music you listen to; but that doesn’t mean it should be a pain to maintain. Giving you easy-to-maintain hair that fully expresses your creativity and sense of style is at the core of Royal Oak’s philosophy and service. They strive to give clients what will work best for their unique hair and style – and something that is also totally achievable at home between salon sessions.     About Meagan BellovinMeagan arrived in Barcelona in 2019, having left behind a full life of family, friends, and career in Austin, Texas.
