Hair Styled by Mel

Every class I take is an investment not just in my skills, but in the experience I create for you. 💇🏻‍♀️✨
Learning from today reignited my passion for the details that make hair not just beautiful, but transformative. Thank you for trusting me to keep growing and showing up for you. Thankful that .salon brings in the best education with .

If your hair didn’t walk out with attitude—or leave with bite—did I even touch it?
Every look’s a ritual. Every strand? A spell.
Cast in love, with intention, sealed with Oribe and conviction.
Because my clients? Walking art. Crowned in confidence. 🖤🔥🔥

This ain’t just hair—this is resurrection, rebellion, and a middle finger to basic. I’m not your stylist, I’m your hair’s final boss. Call me a witch, call me trouble—just don’t call me average and your hair never will be either! 💀🔥🖤

Soft, strong, and refreshed my hair’s best essentials in every wash. This is my hair wash routine of products I use, how and why.

My first shampoo I focus on cleansing my scalp with Oribe’s Seren Scalp densifying shampoo. Then I use the Oribe’s Shampoo for moisture and control mid section to ends. I am addressing two separate needs in on wash. The serene scalp is cleansing the scalp and adding active ingredients to promote growth in thinning areas while helping each strand start healthy and strong from the start. The moisture amd control provides moisture and slip to my dry and brittle hair.

I use a conditioner on scalp, yes on my scalp. The Densifying Conditioner is intended to condition and promote all the growth properties and lessen your natural shed rate as the Densifying Shampoo. I condition my mid to ends of my hair with Moisture and control deep treatment masque due to its rich moisture my extension and natural texture makes styling so much easier. There’s my wash routine.

Always a student, never stop growing and glowing ✨
Today was the featuring thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge!! Can’t wait to bring back everything I learned to my hair besties at home!!

Restoring confidence is one of the best qualities in extensions.

This is my career, I get to help people! I love that.

For this beauty we added a flex weft in the shade vanilla latte coupled with face frame filler of keratin bonded individual extensions. This helped fill in her frontal face frame while adding density and length completing her look. She now has longer fuller and healthier looking hair.

Is there something about your hair you wished you loved more? Drop it in the comments below or DM me.I can’t wait to help you love your hair a little bit more.

Hey friend. It’s me Mel! I wanted to drop in and tell you a little about me.

*First let’s talk hair. I love all the blondes and dimensional color. Extensions are always a favorite service I get to perform. I absolutely love helping you all love yourselves a little more. As a stylist I believe always being a student and open to learning and growing helps me further understand and connect to you while providing me with the tools to serve you all. I’m certified with 5 different extension brands but practice my craft exclusively with . I am truly and a Signature stylist. I’ve traveled as far as NYC for training specifically for hair cutting with Oribe!

*A few personal facts about me:
I’m married
I’m a mom of two boys
I love being outside
Shinedown is my favorite band 🤘🏼
Lifting weights is my therapy 🏋️‍♀️
Summer is my favorite season
Halloween and Christmas are my fav
I was a nurse in my first career.

I have the friendliest, sweetest and hardest working assistant. She’s eager to learn, work and anticipates my next move before I even know I need it. She’s wonderful. Ok now let’s talk about her hair. Can you spot the difference between the two images? In one she has individual bonds of k-tips an the other she doesn’t. We blended her weft extensions to her face framing layers to fill in that slight disconnect between the lengths. It doesn’t take much to make a difference in the biggest way.

When you match the aesthetic together, not once but twice, you know you share something special. it was an honor and a privilege to learn from you on Sunday and work with you today. You left me feeling inspired, hopeful and feeling confident to chase my dreams. Thank you Sir. Until we meet again. 🤘🏼

A little B&A action to start this Monday off. We used VOLUME WEFTS 20" 145G MOCHACHINO BROWN 3 rows sewed in for this transformation. .salon .cook_

I lost about 50% of my hair due to certain medications I was on for my autoimmune disease. All the while I had about 3 Covid infections during this time as well. There is no way to tell exactly what caused this except knowing both the medication and Covid are known to cause hair loss. I made some lifestyle changes and got healthy. That was hard! Really effing hard, but so freaking worth it. In this picture you can see my stages of regrowth. It’s coming back but it’s incredibly frustrating. I wash my hair shampoo directly formulated for scalp health, oribe serene scalp. I’m no longer on medication that causes hair loss and I’ve lowered the inflammation in my body. Both of these things have significantly helped my hair regrowth. For me this meant going gluten free and working out to get my inside body chemistry healthy, this lowered my inflammation a lot ( proven by medical labs and how I feel). If you’re experiencing medically induced hair loss we must take a look inside to correcting the cause. What is working for me may not be what’s right for you. As a hair stylist this is very personal to me and important. I love helping people feel beautiful and have healthy hair too. Those are my true passions. If you have questions about my journey and what it’s looked like for me I’m happy to share. If you’re experiencing some of these things I may have some helpful tips too.

The gangs all here, prepped and ready to go!
