Melanie Brown

Yesterday was my final day behind the chair in Virginia. I packed the last storage bin, turned off the lights, and said goodbye to a space full of memories. Thank you to every guest who sat in my chair, shared your stories, and trusted me. It’s been an honor, my Queens! 🤍

As my family relocates to Southern California, I look forward to building new relationships and continuing to do what I love! I hope you continue to find confidence and inspiration here, and I can’t wait to share the beauty that will sit in my chair in this next chapter. 🤍

Many thanks to My Salon Suite for providing a space to be creative. My fellow suite owner neighbors—I’ll miss you! Keep being amazing and making this world beautiful! 🤍

Timeless technique. Effortless beauty.

Lightener or color is hand painted, creating a soft + diffused color result. This is what it *actually* looks like. Is this the only way to achieve a beautifully crafted low maintenance color? Definitely not. Although I utilize several techniques, when I get back to the fundamentals—this makes my artist spirit soar! We don’t have to overcomplicate beautiful hair.

I’m going back to C A L I

Another reason why Iles Formula is #1!

Frizz follows. Here's the science — and the four Iles Formula products that stop it: Signature Collection, Finishing Serum, Curl Revive, and Rinseless Root Refresh.

I jokingly say that I seem to attract Queens with the most hair. And don’t get me wrong—I’m here for it. But it also got me thinking about what we put out in the world, often returns back to us. So if what I share in this life brings me the best clients both in beauty and grace, & obviously tons of hair too…then I must be doing something right. I am innately aware of the energy I share and that it means something to the very person reading this post.

Now let’s pause for this gorgeous Queen and her luscious locks. I focus primarily around her hairline with seamless highlights & partial natural highlight placement to blend her natural color for added brightness.

Fresh hair, new start! 🌸
