Team 1: Meleesa and Ashley

Challenge: Lee

It is impossible to say enough good things about Meleesa and the salon, or should I say “community” that she has created.  I have been a client of Meleesa’s for many years now and up until recently I have never been brave enough to take risks with my hairstyle.  One of the best things about my experiences at Meleesa is that no matter how much or how little I choose to do for a haircut I always leave there feeling stylish.

When Melessa told me about the makeover challenge I was so excited.  It was time to try something completely out of my comfort zone.  I put my trust into the hands of Melessa and Ashley and the results…FABULOUS!  My new look gets me compliments on a daily basis and I am so glad that I let them work their magic because it was a success and I have bangs for the first time in my life!

On a personal note, I just love going into the salon.  Everyone is so friendly and it does feel like a true neighborhood small business with big city style.  I wouldn’t go anywhere else!  Lee Ann Salkowitz

Challenge: Parissa

I am so thankful to know all of the gals at Meleesa The Salon! These girls are talented artists and stylists who have so much passion for what they do! I have been going to Meleesa The Salon for about a year and am always recommending it to friends and family! A little over a year and a half ago I had to make a choice to better my life, my health, and my overall being. So, what did I do? I ran out and bought a pair of running shoes and started walking and then running by the beach.I needed to be the best Parissa I could be. I also took control of my eating habits and focused on foods that would help me and not hurt me. With time it paid off and shortly there after I met the sweet girls at Meleesa The Salon. Going to Meleesa’s was such a perk and reward. Each time I left the salon, I left with a smile. I truly began to get my spring back in my step. Everyone who leaves the salon leaves with a smile!!! I have personally observed this.
People on the streets would notice the smile and true happiness on my face and say hello and compliment my looks. I felt so good, like a princess! It helped to bring the encouragment in my life that I so needed.  When Adrienne and Jessica approached me about the makeover challenge I was super thrilled! I love a challenge and this was yet another chance to experience something amazing! I went home and danced around my living room and couldn’t believe that I had been selected. Adrienne and Jessica who I like to call “Team Awesome” did just that! They are two awesome artists who have hearts of gold! Their time, dedication, and collaborative efforts produced what you see in my after photo. If there is someone that has truly been touched by this makeover challenge, I would say it is me. Thanks Adrienne and Jessica for making a difference in my life and for bringing back the smile on my face. By the way, can I say it was sooo much fun doing the hair, make up, tan, and photos!!! Wow! What an experience! If I could, I’d do it again and I’d want it the exact same way!  I wouldn’t change a thing

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.
