Melissa knew she wanted to be a hairstylist at 16, and she’s been dedicated to her craft ever since. With over 20 years of experience, she honed her cutting skills in Hawaii, assisting former Art Director for Vidal Sassoon for two years. She also received advanced training at the Toni&Guy Academy in NYC.

Having worked in Manhattan for over a decade, Melissa specializes in precision haircutting, focusing on custom cuts that work best for your lifestyle and provide maximum results with minimal effort. As someone with curly hair herself, she has a deep understanding of textured hair and how to create styles that work with natural curls, not against them.

When she's not in the salon, Melissa enjoys thrifting for hidden treasures or researching her next travel adventure.
