I came to Melessa shop in a whim cause I needed my hair done for a trip I was taking. She was very nice and professional and did an amazing job on my hair. She was able to do my hair in an hour and fifteen minutes and the best thing is it lasted 4 months!!

A few months ago i went in as i heard great reviews on melessa and so being i am not from the area i wanted to try it out. I ended up getting the hair from her which i normally don't do as she told me it is AUTHENTIC INDIAN REMI and i later found out this isn't true at all. The day i got it done my hair was beautiful until...the next day. I called her because my hair felt hard as if it was synthetic or something was wrong an she fried my hair. She told me to get put some conditioner in it and i would be ok. In fact it wasn't i ended up going to my local beautician and she looked at it after washing and during the setting, she noticed my hair wasn't braided or sewn in correctly. First the braids were very close together, they were thick braids not small one as everyone I've ever been to or know who does hair braids. She left parts of my hair out that was nice but it was too much left out than what should've been. As well i complained because it was itching so much it was driving me nuts! My beautician looked at me scalp and showed me in the mirror view that it was blood red. At that point in time i came home and said since now its clean i should be ok. that next week i brushed my hair after wrapping it over night and i had a huge beehive knot in the back of it! I actually popped my arm out of place trying my hardest to get it out. This was the last straw and so i called my mother to have her help me take this mess out of my head. As we took it out my hair was coming out and in parts, was sewn in to the thread (attached) I washed and deep conditioned my hair and it was needed after that beating it went through, only to find my hair was coming out in clumps!!! I will NEVER set foot in this shop, recommend anyone, or even consider having melessa touching my hair again! This was a complete horror show, that was a complete waste of my time and hard earned money!!!

I first visited Melessa's salon in late 2008. I'd had my first weave sewn in at another salon and was experiencing extreme itching. She helped treat my scalp and provided relief. My next two sew-in weave installs were done by Melessa in preparation for my May 2009 wedding. She does excellent work and I've always been happy with the outcome. After several years, I've recently began visiting Melessa's salon again. Since I'd last seen her I'd relocated a couple of times and had done a lot of damage to my hair edges by wearing clip-on ponytails. With her help, I was able to identify the cause of my extreme scalp irritation. Apparently, I have a rare sensitivity to most weaving thread due to allergies. Previously, I'd thought hair weaving was no longer an option for me, but Melessa provided several options including a practically thread-less technique she does. I decided to use the option of purchasing an alternative thread product, which I bought at a craft store. Now that she uses the other thread I have virtually no itching!!!! Melessa's weaves are secure and flat to the head. I receive many compliments and people often assume it's my natural hair. In 3 months my damaged hair has started to grow in thicker and fuller. The best part of my experience at Melessa's salon is the environment. It's not hectic and crazy like other shops I've visited. Melessa runs a professional establishment and I plan to be a customer for a long time to come.

Melessa is an excellent full service stylist. Her attention to detail is amazing! The atmosphere at her salon is both comforting and professional.

Melessa is awesome!!!! I went in today for a consultation and after 10 minutes, Melessa was ready to get my hair back on track. I've never had a consultation like that before but it was awesome and worth it and I can't wait to go back in 2 weeks.
