Melanie is a gifted artist. She is also a vibrant, charming and intelligent human being. I drove all the way from Tucson for my Curly Girl cut. I had been to the flag ship salon in New York and had high standards. I had tried both Deva Curl trained stylists in Tucson and was convinced no one could cut my hair the way they did in New York. I was wrong. Melanie is a pro and I left the salon feeling very pleased. My 26 year old daughter kept me company during the style and cut. She is now a huge fan of Melanie's. I have gotten tons of compliments from friends and at work. It will always be worth the drive to Gilbert (two hours) to receive such a professional experience. Thank you Melanie!
