Everyone has seen those treacherous wedding photos from the 80’s and 90’s. Big hair, big sleeves, BIG mistake! Weddings are a special event that you want to look back on and enjoy the memories, rather than cringe at the bad hair and makeup you chose.

Many brides make the mistake of not thinking hair and makeup are an important part of getting married, but they will regret that decision in 10 to 15 years! Meleesa the Salon offers many different packages and VIP treatments to not only pamper you on your special day, but to create that timeless, beautiful, and unique look you want.

You want a salon that specializes in weddings and can cater to your needs. Packages have options that can include hair ranging from blowouts to updos, airbrush makeup, airbrush tanning, and permanent or temporary hair extensions to create length!

Our stylists will create an amazing customized look for you by meeting with you in a complimentary consultation to discuss your dream look. Bridal hair and makeup trials are also available so you can see what works and what doesn’t.

Meleesa the Salon is well connected in the Bridal community in Los Angeles and Orange County and can even introduce you to great photographers or dress makers.

We are here for you and would love to meet with you! Call the Salon and set up a meeting with any of our stylists. And check out some of our work below!

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.
