Melissa has been doing my hair for about a year now. She is the best in the business and my hair has never looked so good. She actually listens to what I want and does all with keeping my hair healthy. Melissa uses the best products and really knows how to style my hair. I have never had such an amazing blow out with a round brush in my life. Her studio is super cute and clean. I highly recommend Melissa! She nails it every time! read more

I have to be honest, I initially was hesitant to hire someone that I wasn't familiar with but once I met and did a trial run, I was more at ease. Than on the day of my wedding she made me feel beautiful and my hair stayed all day and night! She was so flexible with my schedule and even came to my room at 6:30am. Everyone was picture ready when the photographer needed and I cannot rave enough about Melissa! She has such a calming energy around all the chaos that was happening around her and she was so nice and made everyone feel so comfortable. Thank you Melissa for being part of my big day! read more

I went to Melissa for my wedding hair/makeup trial, and I'm so excited for the big day. She took one quick look at my inspo photos and totally nailed the look I was going for (half up, loose curls, natural and simple makeup). I'm so glad I did a trial, too, and got to test out the look (we are going to make a few tweaks for day-of). She also managed to get my insanely straight hair to hold a curl for the entire evening! Melissa is easy to work with, super communicative, and all-around just a nice person. I'll update my review and post photos of the final wedding day look! read more

I went to Melissa for my hair and makeup trial for my wedding and was extremely disappointed!!!! My hair was not "special event quality". It was flat and needed product... or just more styling. Bobby pins were sticking out everywhere- very plain, and ordinary. Horrible curls!!! My eye make up was awful, she didn't have tweezers to put on lashes so they weren't even in a straight line. Glue was still showing by that night at dinner. Overall the makeup didn't last well and I was shinning and needing to reapply within an hour or so. I was going to wear the hair and makeup for our engagement pictures but I had to start from scratch and end up doing it myself. Beware for your special day! read more

Melissa made me look AMAZING. I have always struggled with my hair and dreaded damaging it more. Melissa made certain the hint of color would framie my face and not cause more issues. Happy to report I'm loving it! It was also a really fun appointment. She is hilarious and time flew by. read more

Melissa is just awesome! She is a beautiful person, and is someone you want around on your wedding day. I noticed her website says her goal is to make the bride feel like the most beautiful person in the world on their wedding day - and she did that for me :) She has such a calm, positive, easy-going, and extremely flattering nature about her. Melissa is a talented artist and it's obvious she loves her work! And me, my mothers and bridesmaids all also love her work! In fact, some of the ladies in my group were hesitant to get their hair and makeup done, but once they saw what I looked like and the others looked like, every single one of them jumped in and had Melissa style them too. Fortunately, Melissa is so inviting and flexible, so it was not a problem for her! I had a destination wedding, and her flexibility with my schedule was so appreciated. If I lived closer she would be my full time hairstylist, without a doubt. I highly recommend Melissa and her lovely and friendly assistant Marissa - I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

I love the way that Melissa listens to my requests, provides pertinent feedback, and gives me a great haircut and subtle, stunning highlights. She has even taken the time to show me how to replicate the style at home using my limited abilities. Since I have been going to her, over three years now, I get more compliments on my hair than before that...it was so odd to me that people, strangers, would say how much they liked my hair... now, I am used to it. And, of course, love it! The girl knows what she is doing! read more

Melissa was absolutely amazing on my wedding day! She was very good at making everyone in my party feel and look beautiful. I was an out of town bride looking for hair and make up and Melissa was referred to me and I couldn't be happier. I'm not a big make up person and Melissa did an amazing job on making me look beautiful without using a lot of make up! Everyone in my party was very impressed and happy with Melissa. She definitely did a great job! If your looking for a great hair and makeup lady you've found your person! read more

I've been going to Melissa for a couple years and love her! I trust her completely with my color and cut--it's not unusual for me to be stopped on the street to ask who does my hair. She is so positive and fun to be around there was no doubt I wanted her to be a part of my daughter's wedding day. She did the bridal party's hair and my daughter's and my makeup. Of course she was was prompt and professional, but the best part was it was relaxing and fun and everyone looked beautiful! I couldn't have asked for more on such a special day! read more

I was so nervous booking my hair/make up stylist for my wedding, but I couldn't have chosen any better! Melissa is an outgoing, fun, upbeat person that makes you feel like a princess on your special day. Her resume is impressive...she used to work in LA and has done hair/make up for celebrities. I don't wear a lot of make up normally and was worried it would appear too much, but it felt and looked so natural. I highly recommend Melissa! You won't regret it read more

Melissa was very nice and made me feel comfortable the day of my wedding. I don't normally like anyone to do my make-up but she did it and it looked phenomenal! I was so happy and confident on the day of my wedding!! I loved that she took her time and did a great job! The first time she did my hair at our trial run, I didn't like it and so I brought pictures and she was very willing to help me and change it, she did what I wanted and it looked great for my big day! She really helped me to feel confident, sexy and gorgeous the day of my wedding! I would definitely bring pictures of exactly what you want to your trial run day, and discuss everything you'd like, once she gets it, you get exactly what you want :) read more

Melissa was flawless! She came all the way out to the cottages we were staying at to do my entire wedding party (6 girls, bride, both my mother and my mother in law). EVERYONE looked beautiful! The makeup stayed and it photographed extremely well. After my trial with her, my fiancé seemed like he was not excited about the heavy makeup, on our wedding day he cried and said it looked perfect! You want someone in there the morning of when nerves are flying to be able to hang with all your girls, Melissa did and she helped make getting dressed fun. I would highly recommend her to any and everyone! read more
