Melissa
Hairstylist
Melissa is a Nanaimo born stylist that graduated at the top of her class from Malaspina College of Cosmetology program in 1986. Hair has always been and continues to be her passion. She loves to be creative and believes that good communication is the key to a successful client/stylist relationship. She prides herself on all aspects of her job, but the smile her clients leave with at the end of their service is the biggest reward.
She is skilled in advanced cutting, perming and highlighting but especially loves doing fun, textured short haircuts. She is up to date and on trend but has a lot of "old school" techniques mixed in so she can cater to elderly clients as well as youthful ones.
In Melissa's spare time she loves to cook, paint, garden, explore and spend time with her family.
If Melissa sounds like like the stylist you are looking for, please call or book online for a appointment.

She has worked with some magnificent stylists and learned the most she could along the way. She started off with her training in Calgary.
She believes no matter how long you have been in the industry we should never stop learning & growing.
