"I didn't put a lot of pressure on myself to go out on my own. I just kind of hankered down and learned the industry from a deep level," McNeal explains. "That training that you get from assisting, being in the background — I always say when you're in the background for so long, you see everything that's coming your way. That's really what shaped me into being a stylist, that I took the time to learn the craft from every angle.

I'd really exhausted assisting, I just plateaued. I was a first assistant, they trusted me so much that I would really do the whole job. For me it happened in more of a natural way, where I just was like, 'What am I doing? What's the next step?' And that was starting my own career.
Me and Joan, every time we saw each other, we would always laugh and have the best time with each other. She also loved my work. And I also was a mega fan of her — obviously, Joan Smalls, she's the omega. One day, she just asked me: 'Hey, do you want to style me?' And I was like, 'Drop everything. Yes I would love to style you.' It was the universe putting everything in place for me, telling me everything was going to be okay. Because she really just came at the best time.
Paloma is everything she stands for. Every female that I grew up with, they look like Paloma. When you work with somebody like her, the response is greater because people really look like that.
