Megan Gallardo
Spa Coach
There is so much to love about the medical spa industry, but what drives me most is being able to help people feel confident and beautiful in their own skin. I’m especially passionate about the business side—digging into numbers, scaling a brand, and watching teams and businesses like Free Spirit Aesthetics grow and thrive. I also love how this industry blends beauty and science (fitting for a Georgia Tech grad—Go Jackets!), and how it continues to evolve, offering constant opportunities to learn and lead. Helping others succeed in their roles is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
Summit truly changed the trajectory of our company. It gave me the tools and confidence to open the medical spa side of our business—and helped our team see that they were in the right place with real potential. Because of Summit, we make smarter, more strategic decisions and have been able to grow with purpose. It gave our staff a clear path forward and changed our lives.
I come from a business background and spent three years in corporate America before joining the salon and spa industry in 2019. I joined Free Spirit Salon in Alpharetta, GA as a manager, and eventually stepped into an ownership role. I saw huge potential in expanding into medical aesthetics, and in 2022, Free Spirit Aesthetics was born.
Outside of work, I’m a major foodie and love exploring new restaurants, wineries, and breweries in our area. I’m also a twin and one of four sisters—we hang out multiple times a week. I have a one-year-old daughter, and my husband is a micro-influencer on Instagram, which always keeps life interesting!
