About Mel

Hello Lovely!

As a dedicated hairstylist, my passion revolves around helping clients fully embrace and love their  curls. With a focus on inclusivity and diversity, I've built my craft around celebrating the unique beauty of every individual who sits in my chair. Based in the vibrant community of Cedar Valley, my reach extends beyond state lines, welcoming clients from neighboring areas who seek out my expertise.

 

My journey into the world of haircare is deeply rooted in my upbringing and values instilled by my family. Born in El Salvador and raised by a loving Caucasian family in Iowa, I embody the fusion of diverse backgrounds and the power of inclusivity. It's this rich tapestry of experiences that fuels my commitment to creating a salon environment where everyone feels valued, understood, and respected.

 

Driven by a thirst for knowledge, I continuously expand my expertise through annual academy attendance and hold a bachelor's degree in business administration. This blend of artistic flair and business acumen allows me to not only create stunning looks but also to mentor and empower others within the industry.

 

What sets me apart is my unwavering dedication to fostering connections and celebrating diversity. As a person of color raised in a traditional Caucasian family, I intimately understand the importance of acknowledging and honoring our differences. My mission extends beyond the salon walls as I work tirelessly to create a space where diversity is not only embraced but celebrated.

 

When I'm not behind the chair, you'll find me immersed in a good book or engaging in lively discussions about literature. I cherish the connections I've built with my clients and constantly seek to expand my circle, welcoming anyone who seeks guidance in nurturing their natural beauty.

 

Join me on this journey of self-love and empowerment. Discover the beauty of your curls and experience the warmth and expertise that define my salon. Explore my services in detail by clicking "Mel’s Service Menu" and take the first step towards embracing your unique beauty.
