Meet Tara our amazing stylist specializing in vintage hair
30 Jul
Hello every one in internet land! My name is Tara and I work at the most adorable salon in downtown Huntington Beach, Ca called Meleesa The Salon. I just wanted to make myself known and show you some things that inspire me and how I go about creating looks in my own way. for this post I was inspired by the classic vintage 1930s look worn by Reese Witherspoon in the film Water For Elephants (seen below).
After I finished this look I took my model to the Huntington Beach equestrian center for a photo shoot and here are some of my favorite shots!
How to manage Curly hair
28 Apr
Curly Hair Tips:
1 – Start by using a curl supportive shampoo and conditioner, they normally are specially formulated to hydrate and revive curls. Meleesa recommends, Curl Conscious by bumble and bumble
2 – Using a masque to revive and awaken curls is a great weekly must! Curl masque for sure Meleesa’s pick
3 – Always comb our curls with a wide tooth comb in the shower meanwhile the conditioner is on, this will prevent the curls from starting to frizz.
4 – Wrap you hair on a towel and get all the excess moisture out.
5 – Unwrap the hair and shake loosely avoiding breaking the curls up. “remember curls like to live in families, if you separate them they get unhappy and Frizz!” Meleesa explains
6 – Apply Curl Creme by bumble and bumble , squeeze about a quarter size of creme ( size depends on how thick and long the hair is) this is for shoulder length hair moderate density. Work the creme on your palms and distribute root to ends, don’t forget the bottom of the hair so get in there gently.
7 – Start by separating hair and twirling curls, we do this to break the natural pattern and loosen the curl, if you want to tighten the curl twirl tighter. (use your finger like when you think to hard and twist your hair around your finger)
8 – Scrunch with a towel to remove excess moisture and pump curl up.
9 – Air dry for a softer look or diffuse for more dramatic look
10 – Enjoy and embrace your Curls! All curls are unique, this are a few tips to help you out, if you want more information and want to learn how to work with your unique curls, make an appointment today with Meleesa 714-969-7199

American Wave
More insight from Arroyo
Featuring modern ionic technology, the American Wave System is a new, innovative, and exclusive professional wave and texture enhancing service stylists use to create everything from cascading beachy waves to expanded textures to full-blown curls.
Without dryness, damage, off-putting smells, or styling restrictions we can change the texture of hair that is already curly, use it to give fine hair types a volume boost, create a mélange of different textures, and give waves and curls to anyone that wants them. Using creative soft tool design wraps we have created a new salon service professionals can use to give a new wave of styling options to all salon clients.
Keratin Express Blowdry
Keratin Complex Express Blow Out is the perfect one hour in-salon service to reduce frizz, curl, and styling time for up to 6 weeks. It’s ideal for the client who desires smooth, silky, manageable hair.Balayage
Here's what one of our customers had to say about the balayage color service!
Oh My Gosh, Balayage! Are you curious on how to achieve sun-kissed hair, but simply don't have the time to lay out? Well, here they've found the golden ticket. At Meleesa the Salon, Balayage is their specialty! Providing you with effortless locks and naturally hand painted highlights, Balayage is the modern, saught after coloring technique trendy hairstylists are currently using. For Meleesa, and her team of lovelies this is the breaking point for hair color of the future. This trick of the trade is re-vamping the way hair stylists apply highlights. While similar, color is hand painted onto sections of the hair; applied heavier at the base and thinner when you get closer to the root. This process allows experts to use their creativity by selecting what pieces to enhance, while giving YOU a more unique look. This look is highly recommended for fashionistas on the go, or for someone who can't always make it to the salon routinely every six weeks! SInce Balayage has an edgy, "grown out" look, hair touch ups aren't needed as often! Lastly, it is important to note that while this may seem like a DIY project, DO NOT attempt this on your best friend, your dog, or yourself! Meleesa and her team have been trained on this color method, in order to give your locks the proper results they deserve! So if you're looking for a change or just want a more natural highlighted look, give Balayage a try and let it work it's magic!
