MelissaThe approach
The chair
One client at a time. Full attention, no rush, and a finish built for the week ahead.
Where
Manchester is home. Melissa will still do London, for the right client.
01The work
Private appointments with Melissa are still hairdressing, given full attention. Face, texture, and the life the hair has to live once you leave.
Built to be worn.
Cut
Precision first. Weight taken where the face needs it, length kept where it earns its keep. A shape that still looks considered at week four.
Colour
Blend, grey blending, correction. Colour that reads as yours, only better, and grows out without announcing a visit.
Short hair & bobs
The work Melissa loves most. One-length, graduated, asymmetric, jaw-grazing, built for how you actually wear it.
Curls & texture
Cut around the pattern, never against it. Curl, coil, wave, finished so humidity doesn’t undo the morning.
Face shape
Every appointment starts here. The cut and colour are designed to your bone structure, not a trend board.
Lifestyle
How often you can sit, what your water does, what your week looks like. The finish is built to survive that, not a salon mirror.
02Why Melissa
The salon has been named the best in the UK, twice. The private book is the same craft, one-to-one, for people who want the work without the floor.

04The work
Faces cropped, names withheld, and the hair still gives the game away. A glimpse of what leaves the chair.
04How it works
Same hands, same standard. Tib Street, at yours, or London when the client is right. Every booking is quoted first.
I
At Tib Street
A private appointment with Melissa at the salon. Melissa’s diary, chair and time. Not the public floor.
II
At yours
Home, hotel or office. Melissa comes to you when that is simpler than coming in.
III
London
Manchester is home. Melissa will still do London, for the right client. Quoted before you confirm.
05How to begin
- 01
Write
A short note is enough: what you need, when you are free, and whether that is Manchester, at yours, or London.
- 02
Consult
Hair history, face, lifestyle, colour plan. If colour is booked, Colourstart is explained and completed first.
- 03
Quote, then sit
You get the figure in writing before anything is confirmed. Then the appointment: one client, one chair.
Melissa, on why this still matters
08Where
67 Tib Street, Northern Quarter. Private appointments sit alongside the salon: Melissa’s chair and time, not the public floor.
Melissa also comes to you (home, hotel, office) and will still do London for the right client. A quote before you confirm.
