Colour & cut · private commission
Each piece annotated with the technique, because the how is shareable, even when the who isn’t.
A clean, sculpted finish, built to hold its shape through a long day, not a carpet.
Hand-painted lights through a natural base, built to grow out quietly between visits.
Point-cutting into wet sections. Weight removed exactly where the head shape demands it, nowhere else.
Curl-by-curl definition with moisture layering. Texture celebrated, never fought. Melissa’s afro work holds its own national title.
A one-length French bob taken to the millimetre. The kind of line you can only cut when nobody is rushing you.
One chair, one mirror. A private residence, a hotel suite, or Tib Street out of hours by arrangement.
Most of the work never sits on a website. These pictures are the craft: cut, colour, texture, not a client list.
Say what you need, and where Melissa should sit: a private residence, a hotel suite, or Tib Street out of hours. Manchester first. London for the right client. Melissa reads every enquiry personally.
Assistants and introductions are welcome.
