    Mel was incredible! She reached out to me after reading what I was looking for, then helped me find a makeup artist, and was so flexible throughout the whole process. I shared my vision and she brought it to life and I received so, SO many compliments on my hair on my wedding day. When people see my pictures, they always comment on my hair immediately. My braid was stunning but she did great work on my whole bridal party; all with diverse hair styles and hair needs. I got married in August and all of our hair stayed the night even with heat and humidity. Mel is so laid back and easy to work with. I would book her all over again if I could!

    Melissa was so sweet, everything was so easy with her! Booking the trial was super easy, she replicated the style almost identically, I just didn’t have my extensions in for the trial!! She listened to everything I wanted and gave me some feedback, then came up with the perfect style for me. She had the perfect accessories and flowers to add to my hair, and my girls hair! I cannot recommend her enough!!
