Melissa M. Cowan - Hair Stylist

The perm + fade combo isn’t going anywhere, and honestly? I’m obsessed with doing them. 🌀

We gave him a fresh perm for volume on top and kept the sides tight with a clean fade. The goal was definition without the frizz, and I think we nailed it.

💈 Guys (and Moms!): This is the lowest maintenance style for straight hair that wants some texture. Wake up, scrunch, and go.

Big news for all my color clients… we’ve added the R+Co color line and I’m already obsessed 🤍

Here’s why I’m so excited about it (and why your hair will be, too):

✨ Low-ammonia formula → super gentle, so your scalp feels comfortable while we work our magic.
🌿 Aloe → helps soothe + protect your skin during the service.
💪 Creatine → repairs the internal bonds that other colors can damage, so we’re strengthening your hair while we color it.
💎 The result? Softer, shinier, healthier-looking strands with less breakage and color that lasts.

I love that I don’t have to choose between amazing results and keeping your hair happy. It’s the best of both worlds!

If you’ve been thinking about a refresh (or want to try something bold), now’s the perfect time to book with me. I can’t wait for you to feel the difference!

✨ Sometimes you gotta keep it short + sweet ✨ Fresh cuts like this are perfect for low-maintenance styling while still looking chic.

One of the things I love most about working at is the collaboration. Our team is always sharing techniques, giving feedback, and learning from each other to make every service the best it can be. Here’s a little behind-the-chair moment with offering advice on blending and refining this cut - just one example of the supportive, team-focused energy that makes this salon so unique.

Layers = instant movement ✨ Perfect for adding shape, bounce, and making styling a little easier (hello, volume!). A simple refresh that goes a long way!

Proof that even a clean-up makes a difference 👌 keeping it sharp, simple, and fresh.

Obsessed is an understatement 😍 who’s ready for their own before & after moment?
