my philosophy

When you sit in my chair, you are welcomed into a space where your hair — and your whole self — can shine effortlessly. I believe that hair is deeply connected to the heart, mind, and body — a reflection of the whole person. Together, we’ll explore your hair texture, growth patterns, physical features, lifestyle, beauty goals, and overall vibe, to create a cut that is as unique as you.

Over the years, my approach has evolved into an intentional practice: offering a calm, restorative space where you can relax, decompress, and feel truly seen. The relationship between guest and stylist is a meaningful one, and I honor it by showing up with presence, care, and artistry. My goal isn’t just a haircut — it’s a personalized experience that leaves your hair effortless, refined, and completely tailored to your life.

who is she?

Hi, I’m Mellisa — the hands and heart behind the chair. With over 15 years of experience, my career has taken me from coast to coast: working fashion shows, assisting at New York Fashion Week, styling editorial photo shoots, and both giving and receiving advanced education. Each step has refined my craft and deepened my passion for haircutting.

Now rooted in Kalama, Washington, I’m bringing that wealth of inspiration to a more intimate setting. As a haircut specialist, I offer an intentional, elevated experience where beauty reflects inner balance. Each session is designed to specifically meet your needs— holistic, personal, and grounded in presence.
