Testimonials
 
“Melissa is my favorite! After struggling for years with trying to find a stylist who would listen to what I wanted AND make me feel comfortable and at ease, I FINALLY found Melissa. I won't go to anyone else. It's great, too, that she can always recommend new hair products for me since I usually have no clue what to get for my wavy and frizzy hair.” -Heidi L.
 
 
"WooHoo, as good as it gets!
Melissa has been my families stylist for many years and we couldn't be happier. Until we met Melissa my boys hated haircuts. (The haircuts were usually awful and the boys walked away in tears.) Thankfully the boys constantly ask to see Melissa! She keeps them hip and current. For me, Melissa is a hair genius! She is great with advice on color/tints, color transitions and recommending products and techniques." -Ann K.
 
 
"Melissa has been doing my hair for 5 years and I have always been so happy with the cut and color. I have never had my color look so good. She is attentive to your needs and also gives suggestions for new looks and styles. She has a great personality and I am always excited for my hair cuts. You won't be disappointed! Plus you can walk across the street to Whole Foods and Bridgeport Plaza. Super bonus!" -Sara P.
 
 
"I highly recommend Melissa for cut and color, plus she is great at styling and always has great recommendations for haircare products. I have never been happier with my color, and know because of the products that she suggests, that my color will look great until my next appointment. I really appreciate that she gives me cuts that I will be able to style on my own, and when it grows out, it will keep its shape really well! I have been so happy with her expertise and skills, that my whole family, and several of my friends see her regularly as well!" -Kristin J.
 
"Melissa has done my hair a few times, and she is awesome! She listens to what you want and I come out of her salon feeling fabulous. Amazing too, that her cuts really follow you home- you know how sometimes you get a great looking cut and you leave and feel like you look great, but get home and the next day, just can never make it look the same.. I have been so happy with Melissa's cuts and styling.. that week after week my hair looks good and i can style it and make it look good without having to have it done at the salon!" -Suzanne H.
