HI! My name is Melanie AKA Mama Mel and I am the owner of this humble little Suite. Let me give you a little back ground information on me, as i know it can be a little nerve racking working with a new Stylist.
Truth be told, doing hair was not something I dreamed about as a child. During my teen years I loved experimenting with different styles on my friends and my own hair. The ironing board and iron technique was very real. (This was the early 90’s by the way LOL) But never thought of it as a career choice. Fast forward to 2001, mother of a 1 year old and pregnant with my second child, realized i should probably get my life together (That’s definitely sarcasm). During that year, I attended Cosmetology school in Bloomfield, NJ. Unfortunately, life had other plans and I did not finish. I moved to CT, where i was lucky enough to find a job that allowed me to pay the bills and raise my kids for the next 10 years. But that’s what that was, a job. As my family got older and I had more freedom to explore a career, we decided to move to MA and it is there that I attended Jolie Beauty Academy in November of 2011 and graduated and passed my State Boards in August of 2012. YAY!! I have had the pleasure of meeting really cool people through hair these past 7 years. There is nothing like seeing the inner light shine through someone when you’ve given them a great color, cut or style! Hair is pretty powerful.
I specialize, but not limited to, Eclectic Colors (un-natural colors) and Razor Cuts. Feel free to check out my Instagram for my portfolio and definitely text or DM me with any questions. I’d love to meet you and your hair!
