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. The team'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, at Tib Street or at yours. Where most of this work happens.
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 whether you would rather come to Tib Street, have Melissa come to you, or meet in London. Melissa reads every enquiry personally.
Assistants and introductions are welcome.
