Meleesa and Sarah united their creative vision to recreate a class they attended in Santa Monica. Howard McLaren, creative director of Bumble landed in the West coast and selected 13 stylists from California to sharpen the creative eye as a team. Meleesa and Sarah participated in this amazing class that was very inspiring. Doing the most detailed group consultations to really see all the angles of what was possible with transforming a everyday haircut into the ideal haircut for each model. There was such a talented group of stylists and the results where so great we thought… we want more!

Sarah and Meleesa united forces to recreate the class to bring the best of New York’s Bumble and Bumble to the best salons in the orange county. The class was hosted at Vogue salon where we did group consultations. Putting in our 2 cents to create million dollar transformations, we used our creative eye to bring out the best in each of our models. Of course, finishing up with our favorite Bumble and Bumble product cocktails.

See the pictures for yourself and know that a great haircut starts with a great consultation to fit your needs and lifestyle. It’s what Meleesa the Salon specializes in.

Hair Extensions, now a days, come in all sorts of price ranges, don’t let the price make the decision for you. Meleesa has investigated this important topic to help you in your decision making so that you educate yourself when making your beauty investment. Meleesa has been around the hair extension world for 7 years now and has seen many extensions come and go and here are some of the tips and secrets you need to know and that many hair dressers won’t have the time to tell you.

Are Extensions just for length?

Hair extensions are not only for length, for some of us extensions mean long hair. Meleesa wants to clarify that extensions are not only for length, they are ideal for fullness. What we mean by fullness is they add body and thickness to limp and fine hair. Color is another creative way to enhance and add tones blondes, darks and funky hair colors to your hair without damage.  You can definitely achieve length too! You may already have long hair, and may feel that is not getting as long as you wish so extensions would be ideal to add fullness and strength to that long hair. If you had an oops with a haircut, hair extensions are the perfect way to correct any hair challenge. Bangs too short? Add some hair extensions.

How to pick the right hair quality

There are all types of hair on the market; be very careful when picking the hair.

Things you want to ask for:

Is the hair Remy?

Remy Hair is not always virgin hair, once virgin hair has been colored or chemically processed in any way short of removing the cuticles it is referred to as Remy. Remy Hair can be categorized under ‘premium’, as far as hair quality is concerned. Remy Hair has its cuticle intact and running in the same direction, “unidirectional cuticle”, to prevent tangling. The cuticles protect the hair from damage and gives the hair its natural look.

Remy hair is great and you can also consider hair that has never been chemically treated to remove its pigment.

Meleesa the Salon did some researched dos and don’t's on bridal hair.

Jewels. Sparkly barrettes and combs (you can even use an antique brooch or clip-on earring) should be pinned toward the back of the head or up near the crown, not at the sides. And restrict yourself to one glitzy chachka, unless you’re actually trying to look tacky.
Veils. If you’ve got an updo, pin your veil underneath the bun rather than on top like a napkin. For hair that’s half-up or just hanging loose, make sure the veil “is slightly longer than the hair,” says New York City celeb hairstylist Garren. “The proportion is prettier from behind.”
Tiaras. Unless you’re marrying an actual prince, a tiara looks best when it’s understated. “Tiaras with jewels that lie flat are good because they look more like headbands than crowns,” says Garren. “Worn with a simple chignon, they can look very pretty.”
Flowers. Make sure the flower is a single white stephanotis, lily, gardenia, or rose; bright colors can be overpowering. Don’t pin it behind an ear; you’ll look like a greeter at Honolulu International Airport. And never, EVER, use baby’s breath. “It looks cheap,”
Garland. It’s hard to pull off wearing a wreath on your head without looking like an angel in a Christmas pageant. They work only if they’re small and simple, made of fresh flowers or greens, and are entirely free of baby’s breath (see above reason) or jewels.
Meleesa also suggest to hire a specialist in dressing hair. Here at Meleesa the Salon we have worked with numerous brides and realize that photography and hair go hand by hand. Choosing a great Photographer www.jimkennedyphotographers.com is as important as having your hair done by a stylist that specializes in dressing and styling hair for Red Carpet and Bridal events. When looking back at pictures the bride wants to always look timeless. We understand about budgets and we highly recommended Hair and makeup should go in the top 10 Must category. VIP Bridal services are one of our specialties we have Celebrity makeup and Hair artist to lavish you on this memorable day.
