I am so excited to review a new stylist! I found Melanie through a search for colorist near Burke. I loved my previous stylist but It's hard for me to get out to Fairfax on a weekday. I also LOVED all the styles and colors on Melanie's Instagram pages! Making an appointment was easy and we had a short phone consult so I could convey the challenges that I tend to have with my hair. I had another consult with Melanie and she educated me on a few things about toning my color after a few weeks to avoid the "yellow and brassy" look. I hate that look on me! I loved the way my new color blends with my overall hair look. I also wanted to get a shorter cut for easy management but I didn't want to have my big ole chub cheeks showing too much! Pricing is in line with salons in the area. She did an excellent job with no rush cuts! I can't wait to return and am so glad to find a fabulous person close to home!
