As someone’s family is in the industry, we set a high bar for hair stylist. Melissa is the only stylist who has lightened my dark brown hair without d...amaging it. I travel from central Jersey & would travel 100 miles more for her to keep doing my hair. Cut, color, conversation is always top tier. She’s worth every penny. Happy client since March 2018.

Melissa always gives you dedicated time & attention. I tell her I’m her canvas & I trust her expert opinion. With family in the industry, they set a ...high bar & they always sing her praises when they see any new look she’s crafted for me With nearly 10 years in her chair, she understands what I want & need…a professional, polished look that’s easy to maintain for my fast paced lifestyle. That’s why I don’t hesitate to make the 1 hour drive to sit in her chair & get glammed.

Service:GLOSS & Blow
Staffer:Melissa Alessandra
My initial appointment with Melissa involved a haircut and balayage color transformation from a light platinum to warmer tones, and she executed it pe...rfectly. The consultation was very reassuring and made me feel comfortable. She thoroughly explained the process and offered her professional recommendations. The final outcome was truly worth it!! Therefore i re-booked for the touch up maintenance. I recommended her services to others. Thank you once again, Melissa.
