"He and I became friends after he did my hair for my wedding," Meghan said about Normant. "So my family had just moved to California. We were staying in our friend's home.

"Instead, it was this very inky, almost Elvira-esque black hair," Meghan said in a relatable revelation. "And I texted Serge, and he said, 'You need to see Kadi.' And you came over. I mean, we were masked and all the things. It was such an interesting time, but I remember that day so well."
